St George The Patron Saint of Sainsburys

Advantages: It's by possibly the best overall brewery around, it's relatively cheap
Disadvantages: It's a mix of better Youngs beers, and the sum of the parts don;t make the whole, it's also exclusive to Sainsbury's, which means a 14 mile drive for me!

...St George ? patron saint of England. Symbol of English spirit, bravery in the face of adversity, stiff upper lip. What better personification of this great land to choose for a thoroughly English ale? And so we have Young?s St George?s. Never heard of it? No, well neither have I! Having seen this ale mentioned in the hallowed lists of ciao, I felt pangs of guilt that I hadn?t even heard of this ale. Even worse was that it was brewed by the fair hands of Young?s, whose Double Chocolate Stout, London Ale, Waggle Dance and Old Nick all feature regularly in my beer cupboard restocking (yes, I do have a cupboard just for beer!) The shame of it. Would people point and whisper behind my back if they knew I hadn?t heard of this ale? Would ciao members in their hundreds turn their backs on my ops, even those loyal few who know of my addictions...

Review of Hotel St. George, Paphos

worst hotel complex in malta,St Georges Hotel

Advantages: ?????
Disadvantages: food,noise,rooms,swimming pools,position in fact everything

...Our last minute "allocated on arrival" holiday was cheap. The courier told us that the St Georges Park Hotel was in a lively part of town, with easy access to the whole of the island. The entrance to the hotel was impressive but not grand, and the tired 1960s foyer suggested to us what the rest of the hotel was like. We slowly, as the lift only had two speeds (extremely slow and stop), rose to the eighth floor and trundled our luggage along the dark and dismal corridor to our apartment. I use the term advisedly because the room was fairly grim. Its cold tiled floor housed two single beds that would not have been out of place in a local homeless centre's dormitory. They were covered with bedding that I think must have been purchased when the hotel was built. It was clean but extremely thin and in need of replacement. There was a TV...

Review of St. Georges Park Complex, Saint Julian's

Slaying St George

Advantages: Sadistic - great viewing
Disadvantages: Can't smell the money

...TV - Dragons Den Reality TV Show - BBC TWO - 9- 10 pm Monday nights BBC TWO repeats it at 7:00 pm on the following Tuesday URL link - http://www.bbc.co.uk/dragonsden/ Current Dragons: Duncan Bannatyne, James Caan, Peter Jones, Deborah Meaden, Theo Paphitis Titled: Slaying St George ---------++++++++++++------ St George certainly wouldn't understand this TV concept in fact he would of thought we had gone completely mad. For a start he wouldn't be able to get up the stairs with his horse and the only weapon required is the word as the sword. A killer sales pitch that would mesmerize the dragons into handing over their business know-how and wads of cash; one of the hidden agendas in this program is the steep see through stairs and squash-ball hitting sound effects that greet the entrepreneurs if you can call them...

Review of Dragons Den

St Georges, the University of London (SGUL)

Advantages: probably best teaching in london and certainly best value med school in london
Disadvantages: still expensive compared to outside london, lack of multifacet uni, budget in recent years

...like Imperial and UCL to me is a huge gain in ents spending power. I dont think I would be able to cope without this freedom to spend if I was studying up in the city. Teaching in my experience is variable but generally good. This is pretty much true of all the places I've studied, so no gain there. The research factor is good but thats isnt really relevant to an MBBS, biomed, nurse or physio student, who will use research facilities in about 0.1 % of their time. One negative is halls, which are very poor but are to be updated soon. Another possible problem lies in funding (see the press about George's being in the red), which has affected some aspects of the university recently, but with luck wouldnt really affect you. It might explain the lack of societies there , but lets be honest, theres more than enough to keep you busy...

Review of London University St George's Hospital Medical School

George and the dragon

Advantages: Great re take on a well known tale
Disadvantages: None

...George and the Dragon An amusing spin off from the story of George and the Dragon as we know it?ie knight with sword killing a dragon. This book, however does indeed have a scary dragon, but the hero, far from being a knight in shining armour, is a mouse called George. ~~Story and Illustrations~~ The scene is set as we enter a landscape of high and rocky mountains and move into a "deep, deep valley in a dark dark cave"" (ooh!! The suspense). In this dark cave, lives a mighty dragon. Yes, he is big and very red. So big, in fact, that he takes up a whole double page spread, and there he stands amongst the rubble, blowing smoke from his nostrils. This mighty dragon can fly higher than the clouds and faster than the birds. He can burn down forests and smash castle walls and with a brush of his wing, he can foil and destroy whole...

Review of George and The Dragon - Chris Wormell

ST Tropez Autobronzant

Advantages: Nice even colour, can see where it has been applied already
Disadvantages: Messy and expensive

...*Introduction* The St Tropez autobronzant is a thick lotion which you apply on your face and body, and then leave to absorb for 4 hours before washing off to reveal your tan. It promises to be 'non-greasy' and 'quick drying' with a 'relaxing aromatic scent'. It comes in one shade only, but you can reapply two nights in a row to deepen the tan. I have really pale skin that doesn't tan at all naturally, so I have to be careful what fake tan I use as I can be left with orange coloured skin! *Packaging and Price* The packaging is quite simple and whereas most fake tanning products come in a brown or orange bottle, it is distinctive as it comes in a white bottle with black writing. When buying, look carefully at the bottle to check you have the right product though as the St Tropez body polish comes in a very similar bottle...

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

  You, Me & George

Advantages: Build Quality, Price, Discount & Service
Disadvantages: Poor Base Specification - Options Could be Better

...The concept of reviewing things is a sound one, tell people your thoughts (good or bad) about products or services you use or buy - anything from a tea bag to a hotel room. Well, this time I'm returning to Ciao to write a review of our most expensive ever purchase. I'm talking brick and motor. I'm talking a quarter of a million pound's worth of brand-spanking-new George Wimpy real-estate. Be warned, there's so much to tell you this is a really long review - but there's a gold star in it for anyone who makes it to the end! WHERE IT ALL STARTED The post Christmas blues seemed to appear this year about the 1st December (26 days earlier than normal!) and I just wasn't happy. I needed something new to focus on, my feet were getting itchy and the guttering needed replacing. So the logical thing to do is move house! To be...

Review of George Wimpey Homes

George's Medicine Making Morning

Advantages: Fun for small children
Disadvantages: Lacked a certain sparkle that other Dahl books have

...An extract for George?s Marvellous Medicine was in a Roald Dahl Anthology that I was privileged to own when I was younger and was one of the things within it that I really liked reading. Because of this I was quite pleased when I discovered that my brother had the book in his Roald Dahl box set. The book is like most of Roald Dahl?s offerings rather simple and easy to read. The story is rather vibrant and entertaining and the covers of the book can merely contain the colourful characters bursting to get out. The book itself was first published in 1981 and is not too long a read, coming in at 104 pages long in my copy, which is a Puffin edition, published in 2001. Despite saying that this book is 104 pages in length, not all of these pages contain writing and some contain only a minimal amount, as the story is accompanied by some...

Review of George's Marvellous Medicine - Roald Dahl

George Michael - Twenty Five - A Masterpiece!!

Advantages: Great songs, lots of choice, two albums.
Disadvantages: Doesn't include one of my favourite ever songs.

...I received this as a present Christmas 2008 from my fiance and was really surprised with his choice of gift as although he knew I like George Michael I hadn't mentioned it or dropped any hints for it so was very pleasantly surprised. Anyway, on with the review, I have tried to provide background history, chart information, my personal review of each of the songs and a rating out of 5. This might mean that the review is a lot longer than my normal 'concise' reviews so thanks in advance for reading, hopefully rating and most of all for bearing with me! There are two versions of this album, a two disc and a three disc, my review is based on the two disc edition. George Michael was born Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou on June 25, 1963 in East Finchley, North London. He first became famous in the U.K by teaming up with Andrew Ridgeley in...
