The Expérience Cinématique that is Le Grand Rex

Advantages: Good atmosphere, la Grande Salle,
Disadvantages: Expensive, small screens

...Going to the cinema during your visit to Paris might not top of your list of things to do, but Le Grand Rex is certainly not your everyday cinema. Histoire Le Grand Rex was opened in 1932 and is the oldest cinema in Paris. It has a long and interesting history, from its opening night on the 8th of December 1932, attended by a ritzy, glitzy list of 3,300 VIPs, to its occupation by the German soliders, who used it as a place to watch propaganda films. The building is decorated in a typical art deco style, whilst the inside, particularly the 'Grande Salle' - the biggest room, which also boasts the biggest screen in Europe - is a mixture of art deco and baroque style. Le Grand Rex is also home to a night club - Rex Club - which is attached to the building and is right next door. However, in the many times I've visited, this has...

Review of Le Grand Rex

Bag and baggage

Advantages: I don't have one
Disadvantages: I don't have one

...Pooh, Conkers and lucky charms, And there's "a cuddly penguin" To comfort babes in arms. "A picture print thing of a moose", And one of J Timberlake, Cigarettes and chewing-gum Enough to make jaws ache. "Four sachets of tomato sauce", (To smear on one's French fries?) "A flat bag of prawn cocktail crisps", And even a dead fly. A teabag and a breakfast bar, Bananas, chewy sweets, An empty Werthers wrapper And many suchlike treats. A plastic knife and fruit knife, A corkscrew ("gift from fella") A "QVC ring sizer", Earrings and umbrella. "A pair of knickers and a skirt" A "bobble for hair, and clips," A bra strap and a safety pin, A button and a zip. A sewing kit for all of those And gloves in various shades - One pair in soft cream leather Another in black suede. An aerosol...

Review of What's in my bag?

Is "Punch-Out!!" a knockout?

Advantages: Pick-up & play fun, lengthy, endearing
Disadvantages: Very similar to the classics, sometimes tedious

...introduced with Wii Fit. It senses your shifts in body weight and translates it to dodge moves, but it?s very tough to use effectively. Especially during the most challenging fights, where you have to dodge in a fraction of a second and then also flail your arms to counterattack, it's very common for the machine to mix the side-dodge with a duck, which usually mixes little Mac's head with tanned leather. But, I guess there is some consolation that, in the unlikely event you find ?Punch-Out!!? a breeze, trying to beat it with the Balance Board should keep you busy for quite a while. The Multiplayer Thrown into the Wii package is a fairly competent Head-to-Head mode that plays more like a classic "Punch-Out!!" bout than a Wii Sport's Boxing match. Each player controls a differently outfitted Little Mac that has a bit lengthier attacks...

Review of Punch-Out!! (Wii)

Bags of jiffy bag envelopes

Advantages: padds some fragile goods
Disadvantages: not suitable for glass

...I received a DVD in a jiffy bag recently opened the bag carefully and put the bag ready to reuse with about 20 other old jiffy bags I have ready for recycling. Actually I am not sure that all of them are genuine jiffy bags but they are the same sort of thing. Jiffy bags made by Jiffy have been available for several years now I think they go back to the 1950?s. Jiffy bags are handy padded envelope bags that can be bought in a variety of sizes some as small as to 164 x 285mm, then several sizes upwards to 247 x 387mm, probably even larger ones available. The original bag is a golden brown heavy duty paper. The padded filling can be as simple as shredded paper. The envelope closures are one you peel to reveal a sticky surface this will then stick to seal the bag and contents. Some jiffy bags are filled with a macerated...

Review of Jiffy Padded Bag Envelopes

Look at the Land of Leather!

Advantages: good quality suites
Disadvantages: waiting time for suites

...As some of you may know i have recently moved house and i have purchased my leather suite from the land of leather, i just had to write a review on the level of service i recieved and the quality of the suite itself. So it was the beginning of April and some of you may recall an advertisement being on television for the land of leather a range of special deals for one day only. So as i was interested in buying a new suite i took a drive to my nearest land of leather to view the suites which where part of this special twelve hour spectacular. The showroom had a magnificient range of leather and material sofas and chairs in many shapes and sizes at quite reasonable prices as other furniture showrooms i had been to before had been expensive. I took a look round the showroom and there was one 3 piece suite which i was interested in...

T Rex, music of the seventies and beyond

Advantages: Changed the sound of music in the seventies
Disadvantages: Died young so where would the music have gone if he lived?

...while unfit she never returned to England to face the charge. This means that a young man who had a lot to live for and a lot of music to make died and no one paid for his death. Shortly after he died fans of Marc Bolan broke into his home and stole most of his possessions. How sad for his family and friends to have this done. My first memory of T Rex then called Tyrannosaurus Rex was early in the 1970?s when a friend and I used to regularly go dancing. There we were, sweet sixteen, although I wouldn?t say never been kissed, in our hot pants, our high heels, catching the bus to the nearest town to dance the night away. There were many songs but one of my favourite, which was played over and over, was Ride a White Swan, something completely different, with undertones of love and lust. Teenagers all over, wearing satin and sequins to...

Review of T-Rex - T-Rex

Not Real Leather

Advantages: None at all
Disadvantages: You can't be sure of what you're getting and the quality is dredfull!

...Having purchased a suite (2 x 2 seater + 1 chair) that was supposed to be leather I awaited delivery which was on the day specified and was quick and efficient which I know isn't everybody's experience. The suite looked Ok if not a little cheap. The first sign of things being not as they seem were the supposed wooden feet which I soon found out were not even wood. Obviously it must save them a lot of money to make the legs out of a white plaster/ chalk like substance and paint it to look like wood and most people won't find out till they hit it with the vacuum cleaner and a chunk falls off leaving a white gouge. This was annoying but after a few more months we started to get cracks in the leather and it started to peel, fair enough i thought I've obviously not looked after it properly but then on looking at what was underneath...

Review of Land of Leather

Land Of Leather, Wednesbury

Advantages: Out of town shopping centre
Disadvantages: Poor customer service, no ownership

...Right where do I start, I only wish I checked this forum before I got sucked in to the Land Of Leather advertising campaign. Anyway here goes, I went to Land Of Leather on Boxing Day - they were extremely busy (seems a lot of other people got sucked in by Land of Leather?s ?great offers? on the TV). Eventually me and the missus finally decided on a suite and ordered two 3 seaters and two footstools, paid a deposit of £100.00 leaving a balance of £1700.00 and was told I would receive delivery in 14 weeks. Ok I got home, thought about what I had ordered and decided the space would be a bit too tight for two 3 seaters so I went back 2 days later to amend my order, to change one of the 3 seaters to a 2 seater, they were extremely busy and I was told to come back when it was quieter. I then went back a couple of weeks later and had my...
