Thrybergh Country Park, South Yorkshire

Advantages: Lots Of Wildlife, Free Entry
Disadvantages: Footpaths Can Get Messy

...Thrybergh Country Park lies approximately 3 miles to the North West of Rotherham Town Centre and about 9 miles to the West of Doncaster, in South Yorkshire and is one of the largest Country Parks in the region. At the centre of this Park lies a Reservoir, created in 1880 to supply Water to Doncaster and the surrounding area. However throughout its history this Reservoir never met the demands that were put on it, largely due to leakage from the reservoir floor. During the 1940's this Reservoir was producing 490,000 gallons of Water a day, but losing 100,000 gallons of this every day. By the 1960's it was only producing 350,000 gallons a day, but still losing 100,000 gallons every day, so it no longer became commercially viable. In September 2000 Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council purchased Thrybergh reservoir from Yorkshire...

Review of Thrybergh Country Park, South Yorkshire

South Lakes Animal Park

Advantages: Free roaming animals, conservation
Disadvantages: Expensive shop

...South Lakes Wild Animal Park is about 10 minutes away from us, so we visit at least twice a year, and we are never bored. The park is fairly unique in that many of the animals are free roaming, or are allowed to roam within their own areas in amongst the visitors. The free roaming animals are found in the Australasia section of the park, with lemurs, kangaroos, emus etc, Food can be purchased at 50p a bag to feed the emus and the ducks. The lemurs are the only animals in that section that cannot be fed or stroked by visitors. Also in that section there is a large walk in aviary, with parrot and vultures, visitors can watch the vultures being fed daily. Another great feature of the park is the high walk ways. These allow visitors to see the animals from above, and in the case of the tigers on their climbing frame, the visitors...

Review of South Lakes Wild Animal Park (Dalton)

Come on down to South park!

Advantages: Funny beyond belief
Disadvantages: Contraversial beyond belief

...Its been over 10 years since South park was first released and its still going strong to this day.There have been a total of 174 episodes up to now and it is in its 12th season. There has also been a movie "Bigger longer and uncut" With this 3 disc DVD set however you are getting the original 13 episodes from season one. South park has changed a lot in its 11 years on tele but it was still as funny back then as it is now. It was originally created by Matt Stone and Trey Parker who have gone on to star in a few movies themselves, the best of which being "BASEketball". South park began a few years before its release when Matt and Trey created a short animation called "Jesus vs Santa" which depicted some of the characters we have grown to love in a very low budget form. This animation became big on the net and between celebrities like...

Review of South Park - Series 1 (Box Set) (DVD)

South Park is crude, offensive, yet devilishly funny!

Advantages: Funny, Charming, Entertaining, Witty
Disadvantages: Rude, Offensive, Crude

...For those of you who are new to South Park, it is a show which relies heavily on stereotypical views, popular culture and at times can be very offensive. Yet, this is what makes this show so enjoyable, it is edgy, controversial and frankly, rude. But it is these characteristics which make it so funny and appealing. So, if you are faint-hearted, steer well clear! But for those more fearless, South Park is gurenteed to please all comedy lovers on all levels. "Animation" The seemingly primitive animation is an essential part of the shows success, it is this which makes it unique and allows it to rise above the competition. The animation is very effective and adds completely to the charm of the show, aswell as reflecting the crudeness of the humour! Saying this, it may not be to everyones tastes, people may be turned off by the apparant...

Review of Channel 4 - South Park

South Park :P

Advantages: great humour and alternative views to life
Disadvantages: why only four episodes :(

...Ladies and Gentleman please be silent for this is south park he he joking. I am a dedicated fan to the whole series of South Park, I?m no nutty wacko about how it's all conquering bla bla bla just someone who respects the angle that the creators of South Park have taken to get messages out to the world in a free liberal and funny twisted nature. Though people may see South Park as a racist extreme and immature cartoon are unfortunately narrow minded to the subject matter though it's no surprise for the crudeness that some episodes exploit and highlight. The four episodes that are featured are strong in their own right though not the best works as later series have seen more maturity in humour and stronger story's to express the humour. South Park is based upon four boys who seem to have the craziest adventures you have...

Review of South Park Vol.14 DVD

Great South Park

Advantages: Brilliant five episodes
Disadvantages: No extras

...South Park is a cutting edge, satirical and animated American comedy created by Matt Stone and Trey Parker. It is often criticised for being too radical and has attracted sharp condemnation from Christians, Scientologists, and Jews; in fact, no-one is safe from the jaws of South Park. The stories and adventures inn the episodes are undertook by four children, Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman along with the other residents of the red-neck town. Stan and Kyle are the normal ones of the group often providing the moral to the story. Kenny offers less as we never understand what he says as his voice is muffled under his orange parka and generally dies in every episode. Cartman is the real comedy character, the lovable psychotic, racist, anti-semetic, hippie hating ?fat ass? provides the vehicle for the show. This DVD features 5 episodes from...

Review of South Park Vol.12 DVD

South Park.... weeeeaaakkkk!

Advantages: Still funny
Disadvantages: has some really bad story and jokes :(

...If you've read previous reviews on South Park that I've done you'll know I'm a big fan of the work :) Unfortunately though this box set is a mixed box of tricks that at one moment works and has you laughing but the next episode will break that all down and you will be bored of watching :( Things start off really well with "Chinpokomon" a direct Mickey take of Pokemon in everything but name. The crazy Japanese have a new toy fad sweeping America and every child wants one. Kyle finds this hard as he can't understand the fad nor afford it so is always trying to keep up to fit in with his friends. When he gets a Chinpokomon his friends have moved on to the video game or game cards. Whilst Kyle battles with fitting in and being bullied by his friends the Japanese have an evil agenda... The evil plan is to brainwash the children...

South park rally

Advantages: Great fun
Disadvantages: Cheap

...This is south park rally. The coolest racing game on the dreamcast. There are four different modes that you can play in: Championship: This is no simple game. Its not just race around you have to do loads of crazy missions. It may be that you have to keep hold of a pair of briefs for the duration of the race, Or you might have to take lemonade to stands. This championship is no normal championship. Mini champion ship: This is just racing. There are no objectives except to be the first to reach the finish line. There are four check points in each level each of which you must go over. This is just plain straight forward racing. Arcade race: This is just one race. You choose where and you choose who you race with. This is another straight forward racing mode. Multiplayer: Multiplayer in this game is great. You can do all...

Review of South Park Vol.13 DVD

South Park The Movie Review

Advantages: Funny, brilliant, love the characters
Disadvantages: Bit too much swearing

...This is definitely the funniest adult cartoon film i have ever watched. The way the film puts violence and language into a film is amazing. I myself am a south park fan and i respect the maker and the film. Not intended for minors. I would recommend this film to the more mature group of adults. The plot is compelling and the animation is good but that is the point to make it funny.I love Kenny the best because he reveals a secret but you will have to watch the film to find out. The film is old so the racism in it is mild. The film has lots of swearing in it and they do go over the top with it but that is the concept of a children-like cartoon swearing that makes it so funny....
