yamaha descant recorder

Advantages: easy to learn
Disadvantages: none

...I started of playing the descant recorder in primary school, (many years ago,) we started of with the old fashioned wooden ones, by the time I moved to secondary school , the wooden recorder had changed, it was now plastic and dark brown in colour. I was taught the descant hand recorder all through school, we were taught two ways to remember the notes the first set of notes was F - A -C - E, the way to remember this was the word "FACE". the second set of notes was E - G - B - D - F and the way to remember these notes was to remember a short rhymn, which is "every good boy deserves fun." There is about 4 or 5 other recorders, one of them being the treble, Im not sure about the rest of them as I never played them, I just stuck to the wee descant recorder. I think when people think of the descant hand recorder, they class...

Guinness World Record Breaker!

Advantages: Good variation of mini-games
Disadvantages: Can lose its appeal to adults quickly

...As a child I used to get a Guinness Book of Records every year for Christmas so I've always been quite interested in the whole idea of the records. When I saw that there was a Videogame dedicated to the records, I could not resist. The game begins by giving you the option to choose a character which you can customise in a way similar to that of the Miis. Clothes, hair colour, accessories and, of course, name. At this point, I must say, mine looks pretty damn cool. Once you have made the introductions you are straight into the action. There are around 40 mini-games available to play but you have to 'unlock' them by completing the basic games and earning enough to points to play the more advanced ones. The games are all fairly easy to play but sometimes the instructions are not explained clearly enough and you have to figure it out as...

Review of Guinness World Records (Wii)

Unusual teen flick-Empire Records

Advantages: Quirky, fun and great soundtrack
Disadvantages: Predictable and a little sappy on occasions

...I first watched Empire records as a teenager and thought it was one of the best films ever made. Now nostalgia can make me watch it again and again and although I have down-graded it somewhat from 'World's Greatest Movie', I still feel that this is a good film about young adult life and deserves to be a teen classic. The film is about a group of teenagers who work in an independent record store (called Empire Records) run by Joe. The story opens with one of the employees, Lucas, discovereidng that the store is not making enough money and may be sold to a chain called Music Town. To try and save the shop he takes the day's takings and tries to win gambling in Atlantic City but ends up losing it all. Empire Records now in serious danger of having to be sold to the chain, the film follows one day in the life of the store and it's employees...

Daily Record

Advantages: Frankie Boyle, Tam Cowan
Disadvantages: Jim McLean

...The Daily record is the only paper that I regularly read all the way through. The paper basically just prints daily news on what's happening mainly in the Britain, but also some news from the US and elsewhere. I focus mainly on the back sport pages, then go back to the front and work my way through the more amusing stories. The sports section is pretty good. Most of the information printed is generally correct, unlike the it's main rival... Hotline is included within the sports section. This can be frustrating to read as it is people who have phoned in who's often opinions are printed. Most of which are from people who don't really watch sport it seems. The Daily Record is home to my two favourite columnists - Tam Cowan and the recently recruited Frankie Boyle. My least favourite columnist being Jim McLean who I generally...

Guinness World Records 2009

Advantages: It is filled with brilliant information!
Disadvantages: The 3D glasses rip easily

...This was the first Guinness World Records book I ever owned. I must say it is actually quite good. DEGREE OF INFORMATION The amount of information in the book is very high, mainly because there are LOADS of world records out there. I think that it is layed out very well - it is easy on the eye, and there is enough information to explain what the world record is about, what happened, and who it was set by. I think that overall there is lots of info to explain every record. HOW INTERESTING WAS IT? This book was extremely interesting, (especially finding out the world's largest known prime number!) and I would have stayed in bed all night reading it if I hadn't have felt so tired... once you read 1 or 2 pages you have to read a few more - the explanations of the information are that interesting you cannot help but read as much...

Review of Royal Mail Recorded Signed For 1st / 2nd Class

Best record store around

Advantages: Has everything you could think of with helpful staff
Disadvantages: There's only one in Sheffield

...If you love music, then you’ll thrive on those little independent music stores that sell just about everything - you know the kind. Tiny little shops tucked away in the corner of town with wall to wall CDs, cassettes, and vinyl. Record Collector is cream of the crop when it comes to stores of this kind. Probably named after the popular music magazine, this store is deceptively small, the racks and racks of music mean there is a much larger volume of titles than in most similarly sized stores. Deleted and otherwise unavailable items are kept in stock, and the second hand racks are most useful when it comes to tracking down those titles you’ve been after for years. Record Collector operates a superb returns policy, with the slogan 'If it doesn’t track, bring it back', where you can get a full refund should the CD not be of an acceptable...

Empire Records

Advantages: probably the best low budget film ever
Disadvantages: a bit dated now

...This is one of my first film reviews so please bare with me. In my opinion ( and that of anyone who has ever seen this film), it is the most funniest, low budget film ever made. The plot centres around a music store (empire records) and the teens who work there. The basic plot is that one of the employees Lucas ( will remind you of Karate Kids mr myagi) spends the stores profits and next day he is told the store will be closing to be turned into a chain store. The manager of Empire was saving money too stop this from happening but seeing as how Lucas, who is also the manager's son stole, the manager has to pay back the money out of his own pocket. They end up having a massive party to raise money so that the current manager can buy Empire. Guess what - They manage!!! Ok now i know your thinking what a crap plot...
