London Underground

Advantages: Convenient method of transport, frequent trains, Easy to get around
Disadvantages: Signal Failures, Broken Trains and Heat!

...as Stanmore. ○ Fact: The Jubilee Line carries in excess of 127 million people each year. The Jubilee line is definitely one of my favourite lines. I get it every day to work and I find it has the best service on any of the underground lines. I particularly like the magnificent architecture of the stations on the main part of the line such as Westminster and Canary Wharf. They are all very modern and for once London Underground came up with the excellent invention of doors along the platform itself so gone are the days of poor souls falling under trains! The trains on the Jubilee line are very frequent and are comfortable and modern. ○ Fact: In 2000 the Jubilee Line was awarded the prestigious Railway Industry Innovation Award. ♣ The Metropolitan Line ♣...

Review of London Underground

Sound of the Underground

Advantages: The track Jump
Disadvantages: Won't stand the test of time

...One of their members, Cheryl Cole is making quite a successful name for herself on the solo market at the moment but it all began for her way back in 2002 with 4 other girls, called Girls Aloud. Love them or hate them, they have been around for quite a while now. Girls Aloud are a band, created on the television series Popstars: The Rivals. They consist of Cheryl Cole, Nadine Coyle, Sarah Harding, Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh. Since their beginning they have achieved 20 consecutive UK Top 10 singles and two UK number one albums. According to an article I read, Guinness World Records lists them as "Most Successful Reality TV Group" in the 2007 edition. They also hold the record for "Most Consecutive Top Ten Entries in the UK by a Female Group" in the 2008 edition. Their first single was entitled Sound of the Underground...

Review of Sound of the Underground - Girls Aloud

Got soul?

Advantages: Complex, aromatic and reasonably priced fragrance
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...*Hugo Boss have me impressed* A recent convert to the world of men's fragrances any stronger smelling than a basic anti-perspirant, the warm, woody and very masculine scents of Hugo Boss Soul won me over from the moment I smelled them on a visit to our local Boots. Visiting the aftershave section seems to be something of a tradition for my girlfriend and I when Christmas or a Birthday is approaching, as she likes to pick up a nice smelly for me and no doubt a healthy chunk of Boots points for herself. *Stylish packaging for a cool product* The first thing that I noticed was the interesting distorted bottle that the product comes in. It's made from oddly curved glass that darkens from an almost colourless base up to a smoky purple-grey, with a similarly designed lid that looks something like an optical illusion depending on which...

Review of Hugo Boss Boss Soul Eau De Toilette Spray

Show me some SOUL

Advantages: Amount of applications
Disadvantages: The sound

...This review is about the mobile phone I used to have. The phone itself is called the Samsung Soul and is a phone which has been around now for a year. Made by a big brand in Samsung you do expect a phone which has fantastic features and to last a very long time. So I will now discuss the parts of the phone in order to give you the readers some sort of idea about what the phone is capable of doing and what it does well. The phone design ----------------------- Well my phone is black which looks stylish and sexy, and is a slider phone. The backing of the phone has this silver backing which covers the sim card and battery and is quite solid. On the front of the phone you have the touch pad and the screen which is quite obvious in some respects. The charger connection is on the left hand side and is hidden by this little bit...

Takin' Ya Down To The Underground

Advantages: Bangers throughout
Disadvantages: Nothing specific

...Released in 2003, ?Worldwide Underground? came as the third album by the Neo-Soul singer Erykah Bad and finds her doing more to combine a variety of alternative genres to come up with something fresh to ad to the diversity of modern R&B as she introduces more of her Soul work to Hip Hop, Jazz and Funk to come up with such innovative material. 1. ?World Keeps Turnin?? (Intro) 2. ?Bump It? Getting straight into the grooves this one has her powering through with some Hip Hop-inspired work as she jumps on heavy beats and lays down her own interpretation of classic Fat Boys material before getting down the singing and coming through in a soothing fashion to take you right in as you tend to feel with Cool Jazz compositions. It is a banger and livens you up perfectly for what is to come later on. **Five Stars** 3. ?Back In The Day...

Review of Worldwide Underground - Erykah Badu

The London Underground

Advantages: Gets you from A to B quite quickly
Disadvantages: The cost, being underground

...THE LONDON UNDERGROUND I was brought up in Surrey which is about half an hour by overground train to Waterloo, so London is pretty easy to get to. If you want to travel around London there are really only two options, either by bus or the underground. If like me you have been to London so many times you've lost count then the chances are you can find your way around the Underground quite easily. If you live a bit further away and rarely visit London I imagine the experience can be quite daunting. There are so many things to say about the London Underground but I will try to stick to the main things you need to know about the system. THE MAP When you arrive in London the first thing you need is a London Underground map. These can be bought from the majority of tube stations from a small machine. They cost about £2 at the moment...

Review of London Underground

London Underground...

Advantages: Gets you where you need to go, trains fairly frequent
Disadvantages: Price, people, etc!

...My personal expperiences with London Underground are fairly good. It is not a perfect service, the people tend to be nasty, and they keep raising the ticket price! BUT, without it, getting places would be a lot more difficult, and i suppose you get alot for the price, compared to trains to other places. Despite its problems, London Underground has a goodish service, or at least the only one available! THE TUBE LINES There are 10 main lines and 2 smaller lines, aswell as the DLR. Bakerloo Line - This is the brown line on the map. It goes from Harrow & Wealdstone to Elephant and Castle, passing through stations such as Paddington, Baker Street, Piccadily Circus and Waterloo. Central Line - This is the red line on the tube map. It goes from West Ruislip to Epping, on two different routes, one which goes through South Woodford...

Review of London Underground

33 YEAR EXPERIENCE ON THE LONDON UNDERGROUND

Advantages: It gets you from A--------Z
Disadvantages: People

...What would we do without the London Underground? Yes, we all complain about how bad it is, but just stop and think ? Is it really as bad as it appears? This review is not about prices or a history of stations or where they are or where they are going to. There is enough information for would be travelers to London from underground stations and the staff are generally very helpful. Yes they are! If you are traveling somewhere you can also telephone 0207 222 1234 ? Just say where you are and where you want to go and the operator will be very helpful and will give you the direct route via tube and/or bus. There are generally free tube maps at the stations and maps of local areas. There are signs on the station to say the destination of the trains and in some cases how many minutes they will be. There will be a map on the station...

Review of London Underground

'Heart and Soul' a warm hearted novel.

Advantages: A very engaging novel with strong characters
Disadvantages: None in my view

...Review of Heart and Soul, a novel by Maeve Binchy I am reviewing the paperback version of the book, 544 pages, Published by Orion, ISBN 978-0752884646, cover price £7.99. About the Book Maeve Binchy is a popular author of romantic novels, generally set in Ireland. I have read several of her novels and I find that there is something rather comforting and familiar about picking up a Binchy novel. It is almost like meeting up with an old friend and catching up with his or her news. Binchy writes in a simple, yet totally structured fashion and her characters naturally unfold as the story progresses, I find myself wanting more as I finish each novel, the mark of a good storyteller in my opinion! The characters in Binchy's novels are very well drawn and although Heart And Soul can be read as a stand alone novel, I recognised...

Review of Heart and Soul - Maeve Binchy

The Soul Bird

Advantages: Simple, Genuine, Good for kids
Disadvantages: Simple, More for kids

..."Deep down, inside our bodies, lives the soul. No one has ever seen it, but we all know it's there. Not only do we know it's there, we know what's in it, too" My grandfather was a religious correspondent for the BBC, he also wrote many books about religion, but after many years of searching he decided that he was a Quaker. My grandmother was also a Quaker and a few months before she died she gave me The Soul Bird, I read it quickly and then put it on my book case and forgot all about it. After she was gone I spent some more time reading this book, it can be quite powerful. The Soul Bird is written by Michal Snunit, an Israeli author born in 1940. She has taken on many literary roles from editing a weekly magazine to being a journalist for a daily paper or writing lyrics for children's musicals. She is best known for her...
