When in Aroma...

Advantages: seems like a good deal
Disadvantages: isn't

...Exactly how much do you have to eat in an ?all you can eat? restaurant before it actually becomes free? Before you?ve consumed enough to reduce the food to cost-price, and from there on in you?re effectively eating for nothing? To be honest, I don?t know. But it?s questions like these that mean that I?m never able to fully enjoy a visit to Aroma. Even when I?m starting to sweat sweet ?n? sour sauce in thick, orange gobbets, the voice is always at the back of my mind: Why stop eating now? You?ve paid for this already. You can eat FOREVER and it won?t cost you another penny! I don?t CARE if you?re about to throw up a fistful of lychees! EAT! EAT! EEEEAT!! I?m sure you feel the same. It?s like going to a wedding with a free bar. It becomes physically impossible to stop drinking until you get into such a state that you punch the bride...

Aroma my arse!

Advantages: FSC certified, cheapish, your butt may smell a little sweeter?
Disadvantages: STINKS, your butt may smell like an old lady!

...I went shopping last week with my other half, this is highly unusual, usually I go alone with my shopping list in hand and whip round the isles just buying the same products all the time. This time was slightly different, for a start it took twice as long because we were talking and considering different products on the way round. Having my other half in tow can be likened to having a small child with you when shopping, he gets bored! I sent him off to get a few products here and there that were on my list and one of them was toilet roll, I sent him to get a four pack of our usual toilet roll Asda shades. What he came back with was slightly different! We (or should I say I) usually get the standard shades product in whatever colour comes to hand first. My other half came back with a Shades pack but it was Shades Aroma. I had...

Life at the Sharpe end

Advantages: Joyous read for a footy biog
Disadvantages: More juice please

...Alex Ferguson may have been the bricks and mortar of the Manchester United success story, and Mark Robbins the trigger; but it was all smiling Lee Sharpe who was the La chispa` (the spark of magic) that ignited the new dynasty with passion, intensity and sex appeal .Football was going that way, anyway, in the early nineties with the inception of the Premiership,and Sharpey was determined to be leading that revolution witha smile, United now the proud owners of title number nine in the last 14 seasons for Sir Alex. Lee was one of the last guys to play the game with a smile on his face (much to Ferguson?s ire) and the wonderful photo on the books dust cover of Sharpey using the flag stick as a microphone stand reminds us of a day long past in the top levels of professional sport. He may have liked the ladies more than the training but...

Aroma burst handwash

Advantages: Gets hands clean
Disadvantages: Fragrance too subtle, expensive

...I always keep a bottle of handwash in both my kitchen and my bathroom, and usually buy the boots essentials range, which costs 89p a bottle. Recently Boots had a buy one get one free offer on Radox products, and as their handwash cost £1.79, I figured it worked out about the same for a better known brand, and put two in my basket. ~Using it~ I've found that one pump of handwash is more than enough to get your hands clean, so it's best to only push the dispenser nozzle about halfway down, or you will get too much liquid. The product lathers up easily under warm water, and it left my hands feeling soft and clean. It doesn't have anti-bacterial properties which is a shame though. The handwash is PH balanced and dermatologically tested. ~Fragrance~ One of the fragrances from the many on offer was the 'aroma burst' handwash...

Sharp's Practices

Advantages: Stylish furniture competently fitted into your bedroom
Disadvantages: Furniture is not of the highest quality.

...Picture it if you will ? it?s the room that was my daughter?s bedroom. She left home many years ago, but somehow there?s still a tennis racquet on top of the wardrobe, a stack of school exercise books in the bookcase and strange pieces of clothing (what can you do with a ra-ra skirt these days?) that are not actually needed where she?s living at the moment but are far too good to throw away, or so she tells me. It?s not too bad when you just close the door on the room, but when an unexpected guest turns up it?s a source of deep embarrassment. Well, you can hardly deny that you?ve got a spare room, can you? Then came the fateful day. I went into the local town and a Sharp?s Bedrooms showroom had opened. I?d like to say that it was the aesthetics of the window display that drew me inside, but it wasn?t. It was the banner which...

Razor Sharp

Advantages: small, large screen, easy to use
Disadvantages: short battery life

...I was one of thos kids who grew up using nokias, so when I upgraded to a sharp gx10i a couple of years ago I was at first, understandably, I feel, a bit wary. However, the sharp phones are very easy to use, and the instruction manuals are extremely helpful. I loved my gx10, (especially seeing as it was my first flip-phone), so when I was offered a free upgrade to the gx15 I grudgingly accepted it. As I am on a vodafone contract I got the gx15 free after having the gx10i for a year. When I received it I instantly fell in love with it, it has all the wonderful aspects of the gx10i, and then improvements on top of it. The first delight of it is the size of the screen. The phone is relatively small, and the manafacturers decided that of the screen and the buttons, they would make the screen larger and the buttons smaller. This decision I...

Review of Sharp GX15

  My sharps sharp!!

Advantages: the sd card
Disadvantages: blured pictures and battery doesn't last long

...My boyfriend bought me a sharpgx20 and I loved it to bits, unfortunately I left it on the floor one day and he managed to pick me up twirl me round and stand on the phone, whoops, a great big crack going across the screen, I tried using it for a while but I couldn't even read a message on the screen. My boyfriend bought me a nokia 3300 for my birthday which was perfect for ring tones but it didn't have a camera, so it wasn't long before I was back on e-bay to find a new sharp phone. After days of hunting and being out bid I finally got a sharp GX 30i for £75, I'd say it was around a year ago so not a bad price considering they are still about £200 to buy brand new. When it arrived I was impressed it looked brand new, still had the protective cover on the screen and no scratches what so ever. So off I went to test the camera. The...

Sharpe's Beginnings

Advantages: An excellent story, good characterisation, enjoyable book
Disadvantages: -

...It's 1799 and young soldier Richard Sharpe and his battalion are preparing for the siege of Seringapatam in India. It's the first time Sharpe will really taste battle as they attempt to topple the Tippoo of Mysore. When a senior officer is captured by the enemy Lieutenant Lawford requests that Sharpe accompany him in a mission within the City to rescue his uncle. For Sharpe this is the ideal way to escape the grasps of his tyrannical Sergeant Hakeswill. It turns out though that Sharpe's problems are just beginning and he has to make certain decisions to aid the British invasion. This is currently the first novel in Bernard Cornwell's series of books following the adventures of Richard Sharpe. Of course most people will be more familiar with the exploits of Sharpe on ITV starring Sean Bean. Until recently this had been my only...

Sharp for squirt

Advantages: Small and light
Disadvantages: Battery life could be longer

...I am sitting here in the library typing out a review on one of my latest acquisitions, namely a notebook. Not just any notebook, but the Sharp's Actius MM10 or in the UK, it might be the MM100. I bought this little baby while in the US about a year ago and it has accompanied me since then on all the trips I've taken. It is safe to say that so far, this machine has managed to accomplished all that I needed it to do, well almost all but a little bit of that later. Configuration of Notebook by virtue of importance IMHO 1. Weight This little thing is less than 1 kilogram or 2.1 pounds according to the little sticker on my notebook. I have weighed this on a scale at the airport, to the amusement of the crew at the check-in counter. I do not see the point of lugging a computer...

Indecent Exposure - Tom Sharpe

Advantages: Hilarious
Disadvantages: Crude, Lots Of Bad Language

...Indecent Exposure by Tom Sharpe is the sort of Book that you will either love or hate. First Published back in 1973 as a follow up to his Novel "Riotous Assembly" two years earlier this is a Book that has been doing the rounds for many years. The Story is set in the Town of Piemburg in South Africa and centres around the farcical Character that is Kommandent van Heerden, who is the Town's Chief of Police who has an unhealthy facsination for the English and their way of life. Meanwhile the equally eccentric Lieutenant Verkramp is plotting to undermine the Kommandant and aspires to one day become the Kommandant himself. The Story is set against the backdrop of South Africa's White middle Class Society. Its Characters, poke fun at the deluded way of life that these Men lead. These people are Racist and Fascist and truly believe that...
