I (Roxy) Love it!

Advantages: Smells great (to me), can be found cheaply
Disadvantages: Doesn't last too long on skin

...It's been a while since I have worn perfume on a regular basis, I've had a few mishaps with bottles of my old favourite (Hugo Woman) and decided that it was too much hassle and money to replace them after they leaked/broke the sprayer, etc. But when I was in TK Maxx buying a last-minute present on Christmas Eve, I spotted a bottle of this and thought I'd give it a try. It as only £6.99 and as I have a lot of Roxy clothes and like their outdoorsy, free spirited image, thought maybe it would be a scent that I would appreciate too. The purfume comes in a frosted glass bottle, which appears very pale blue but that is in fact the colour of the perfume, with a shiny silver lid. Fairly plain compared with some of the beautiful bottles out there, but it definitely wont look ugly on your dressing table. I have the 30ml size, there is also...

Review of Roxy Love

The Definitive Best Of Roxy

Advantages: Of many greatest hits of albums for Roxy this is the best
Disadvantages: None

...This was the first of the Greatest Hits compilations which Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music produced. When originally released it contained 20 tracks as a double album but although each side of the LP had 5 tracks the running time was as little as 16-17 minutes for a couple of sides. The later version of their greatest hits (the CD ‘More Than This’ released in 1995) had a longer total running time on a single CD. Plus ca change. For me this album better defines the essence of good Roxy Music and, ergo, good Bryan Ferry. Don’t get me wrong I like Bryan Ferry as a solo artist but for innovation and inventiveness he was at his best when with the musical influences of Phil Manzanera and Andy Mackay. It was the first 12 months of Roxy which was so new and fresh. There were one of a number of bands who grew from close...

Review of Street Life (Greatest Hits) - Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry

Live 2001 - Roxy Music

Advantages: all the best Roxy tracks in concert
Disadvantages: none

...Roxy Music reformed in 2001 after 18 years apart. No new material but the tour was a triumphal success, proving that Roxy could still cut it in the 21st century. This double live album collates tracks from all across the tour, seemlessly edited together to create the ultimate Roxy concert. From the opening thrill of "Re-Make /Re-Model" to the closing sigh of "For Your Pleasure" this is simply one amazing track after another. Not only are the original songs effortlessly recreated on stage but there are numerous little embellishments that actually improve upon the originals. For example - Colin Good's beautiful piano into to "A Song For Europe", Chris Spedding's slide guitar in "Both Ends Burning", Lucy Wilkins' gorgeous voilin embellishments in "Tara" and many more. All the classics are present and correct - "Virginia Plain" is...

Review of Live - Roxy Music

The Roxy

Advantages: Value
Disadvantages: Queues

...For some reason there seems to be two menus for the same cinema anyway Hollinwood Roxy is the same as The Oldham Roxy. The roxy isn't in the middle of nowhere infact it's on a very main road, near the motorway aswell, but its in the small town of Oldham, and is pretty much a local sort of cinema. Prices vary, it will go from about £3 in the morning to £4 at night. Inside food is reasonable, i buy a small popcorn, small slushy and that about £4.50. I would be lying if i didn't say i'd tried to get into a 15 when i was below the age, but i didn't get in they unlike some cinemas are very strict about it so theres no point trying! Queues can sometimes be quite long but the staff deal with people quickly so you aren't waiting long. There is 2 main huge screens which are used for the latest box office hits and smaller ones...

pi-tag.com - Secure luggage, keys, mobile tagging.

Advantages: Secure luggage tracking. Automated Service. Get messages worldwide.
Disadvantages: Must subscribe for 1 year at a time.

...Having decided to take a well earned break from the UK, I went looking for some new luggage tags. I found a number of sites on the internet but the best I found was a site called pi-tag.com. pi-tag.com was on BBC Radio 2's website of the day in March 2005 and it was through the Radio 2 website that I found it. It costs just £9.99 to register for one year - and for that you get your choice of 2 tags. You can purchase additional tags online if you wish. Once registered, an activation code is sent to your registered address to verify your contact details and a unique pi-tag number is assigned to you. If someone finds your bag, they don't know your home address or telephone number but that are told on the tag to contact you at pi-tag.com - or by calling the international 0870 number. If you ring the telephone number...

Review of Avalon - Roxy Music

Foxy Roxie!

Advantages: Playful, loving and affectionate. Very pretty too!
Disadvantages: Very energetic, susceptible to ear problems, like a lot of company

...The title's not as weird as it seems: my dog's name is Roxie (after the murderess in Chicago) and my mum nicknamed her Foxy, so when it came to registering her in the Kennel Club Princess Roxie The Foxy seemed like a great option! People always look at Roxie and say 'how sweet' and they tend to think that because she's small (she's on the small side for a Springer and stocky), she's easy to cope with. Not so. Don't get me wrong - she's worth every penny and every second spent on her, but she is very energetic, needs a lot of walking/running, loves playing and pulls on her lead just as much as my dad's German Shepherd. I wouldn't recommend Springer Spaniels to some one who is older or someone who is unfit, because they take a lot of chasing after. They do tend to get on well with other dogs, which is just as well, because I don...

Review of English Springer Spaniel

* Find them on t'net . .

Advantages: Keeps luggage secure.
Disadvantages: None at all.

...These things are a real boon, when it comes to securing anything on a roof rack, you need something like a net, otherwise your suitcases could be strewn all over the motorway. This happens everyday of the year, sometimes with dire consequences. The Police and Highways Agency are out there recovering your treasured items of luggage, and sometimes clearing up after road traffic collisions resulting from debris on the road. The idea is simple, the elasticated net, encapsulates all manner of kit, in a tray on your roofrack, and keeps it contained and safe. I very often see huge mounds of luggage piled high on roofs, with nothing more than just a couple of bungey straps to hold everything down. Thule are a company with a good track record in travel equipment, including these nets. They have a decent website, although to be honest, I...

Review of Thule Luggage Nets

Trunki Terminates Toddler Terminal Travel Troubles

Advantages: Great design. Easy to use. Kid friendly. Durable.
Disadvantages: None to speak of.

...INTRODUCTION Anyone who has a young child (or two) will be intimately familiar with the keenly felt frustration that all parents experience at Heathrow after a long flight. You exit the gate, the moving walkways are out of order, you are saddled with various hand luggage and duty free bags, and your tired, sleepy and grumpy little so and so decides they?re not walking for love nor Smarties (I would say money, but chocolate is the preferred currency of bribery at that age). On our many trips out to Cyprus, the airport staff at Larnaka never seem to have any problems delivering strollers and push chairs to the base of the stairs from which you disembark the aircraft, but such common sense and practicality seems anathema to staff at most of our British airports. In fact, you?ll be lucky to collect your property in one piece - if you...

The Tale of Two Brian's

Advantages: Two individual musicians working together to make a great album
Disadvantages: None

...of the other band members who provided an incredibly solid platform from which to work and added a diverse input into what was already a pretty weird outfit. Rock on Tommy! Here are Roxy Music; *********************** Bryan Ferry - Vocals, Piano. Mellotron, Hohner Pianet Brian Eno - VCS3 Synthesizer, Backing Vocals Andy Mackay - Saxophone. Oboe, Farfisa Electric Organ John Porter - Bass Guitar Phil Manzanera - Electric Guitar Paul Thompson - Drums. Now the Track Breakdown ***************************** Track 1 Do The Strand 10/10 ******************************* Do the Strand is arguably the group's best song ever - it has everything. It is as kitch and camp as you like with high melodrama and caustic humour. With Latinesque rhythm and cartoon keyboards, Ferry holds a dialogue with some imaginary person who is tired and weary...
