Harveys You What ????????

Advantages: Nice Offers To Be Had
Disadvantages: Slow, Bad Quality and Poor Customer Service

...the aftermath was disgusting, dirty smelly water all over my living room. I removed the carpet and sofa and had a good clean up, after this I contacted my insurance company who sent somebody out and 2 weeks later a cheque had arrived for me to get new carpets and sofa's. Me and my wife popped up to Harvey's in Milton Keynes and had a good look around at all the sofa's on offer. The insurance company would only pay for one sofa but had given us £550 to do so, not ideal as you can't have two odd sofa's however in Harvey's it seemed we could afford two leather sofa's with the cash. The salesman was very good taking time to show us all the ranges and explaining the benefits of each especially with the amount of kid's we have and the state that our old sofa's had got in through them. (Accident was a blessing in disguise). We eventually settled on a set...

FREE DVDs

Advantages: Free trial, large choice, post included,new realeases
Disadvantages: see review

...I like movies and I like freebies, so when you get offered both in one swoop you?re bound to accept! I used my two week free trial with this company and remained with them for a couple of monthsbefore moving on to try many other companies free trials (and winning a new DVD player on Tesco DVD rental site on their free trial offer). I then had an email from DVDs 365 asking me to go back, and offering me a free DVD if I did so. I had just left Tesco (with my new DVD player) so I chose to go back with them. ∆◊◊ THE SERVICE THEY OFFER ∆◊◊ Basically it?s like going to a video shop and hiring films on DVD, except you don?t pay for each film you chose ? rather a monthly fee for which you can watch as many movies as you can fit in, for us this is usually around 8 a month (2 a week usually weekends...

PJ Harvey - P for Passion!!

Advantages: Her music is flawless, so diverse, interesting
Disadvantages: Nothing it's PJ HARVEY!?!?!?!

...---P.J Harvey - Discover something out of this world--- For people that love their music, and if you haven't discovered a wonderful artist yet, today you will have... PJ HARVEY.. Multitalented - Peej is, playing bass, guitar, and piano - and even drums. Darn, didn't think I'd get round to writing this review, but I just had to force myself to do it - well not literally, and writing it isn't such a bad thing, but her music is just so diverse, and you can have so much to say about it -well I certainly have. I must say if you haven't heard of Peej, you have to listen to her stuff, as I now love P.J Harvey. P.J is just one of a kind, all her ideas are her own, her music doesn't sound like anyone elses, and is truly unique and original. Besides I have to make this review more than GREAT as my partner, is the BIGGEST Peej fan out there...

The sofa from hell (harveys)

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Poor quality, 16 week wait for delivery, awful customer service.....

...In April this year me and my fiance got the keys to our new house. We were well organised as we bought the house in February so had plenty of time to order all furniture that we would need before we even got the keys, or so we thought. Style I looked at the large collection of Harveys sofas online and instantly fell in love with the gorgeous looking cleo corner units. They have a chunky modern look to them and can be upholstered in leather, a large range of different colours is available. On February the 16th we went to Harveys and ordered a right hand facing chaise cleo corner unit upholstered in what was apparetly high quality black leather, it was gorgeous. We thought it would be perfect for our new home. Our living room isnt really very big so we thought a corner unit would make great use of space we had available and be...

Every day's a beautiful day with Harvey

Advantages: Pleasant fantasy. James Stewart.
Disadvantages: Black and white quality

...What qualities do you look for in a best friend? Someone who will listen to you unjudgementally, be there when they you need them, share in the ups and downs of your life and to have a bit of fun with? Well Elwood P. Dowd has a friend who does all this and more. He is a fortunate man. The only problem is that his friend Harvey is an invisible 6?3 ¾? rabbit. The film, Harvey, was made in 1950 not long after the end of the Second World War. It is an enjoyable bit of fantasy and make-believe. With all the potential horrors of real-life, the film is a delight of escapism. As Elwood himself puts it, "I wrestled with reality for thirty-five years, and I'm happy to say I won out over it.? The opening scene establishes Elwood?s carefree approach to life. He enters through his front gate, holding it open for Harvey to come through of course...

Dry by PJ Harvey - A Taste of Things to Come

Advantages: serious, clever, poetic, daring, easy to listen to
Disadvantages: it's a minor point - you have to whack the volume up otherwise it's quiet

...~~~Still worth listening to 15 years on~~~ Today PJ Harvey's eighth album, 'White Chalk', is released and in anticipation of its arrival I have been listening to 'Dry', her first album, released in 1992. On its release, the album wowed the music press and was hailed as an astonishing debut worldwide. I remember, because I was 20 and living in France on my third year at uni, and the ripples touched even the uncool French music scene. I was so blown away by her, at a similar age to me she had produced an album that was not only great to listen to, but showed an intelligence and maturity beyond her years and promised so much more to come. ~~~The Artist~~~ PJ (Polly Jean) Harvey has been likened to Patti Smith. True, she shares with Patti the poetic lyrics, the strong, deep vocals, the longevity and I dare say that Polly has been...

Review of Dry - PJ Harvey

The Tao of the Tao of Steve

Advantages: realistic likeable characters
Disadvantages: predictable plot, and the box design

...I saw this film pretty much as soon as it came out on dvd (it had a different cover then) and it's such a hidden treasure that when I saw no-one had reviewed it I decided I had to. ********The story This film is essentially about a thirty-something ambitionless nursery teacher (Dex) who coasts through life and has created his fusion philosophy of Buddhism lite, pop-philosophy and trying to be like all the cool 'Steves' in movies (Steve McQueen being the ultimate role model) which seems to bring him luck with the ladies despite his somewhat average looks: 'The Tao of Steve'. He spends many an afternoon playing frisbie golf and passing on his words of wisdom to his mates. I didn't quite keep his exact words in mind while watching, so I call upon the official film website for his essential philosophical statement drawn from Heidegger...

Harvey Nicholls Leeds

Advantages: Great free night out
Disadvantages: Pricey!

...It is now several years since Harvey Nichols opened its Leeds store, there was a great deal of excitement and people rushed to see what the fuss was all about. This is a high class store which is situated in the heart of Leeds City Centre's main shopping street, Briggate. From the outside it looks very plush, with uniformed doormen opening the doors as you enter. Once inside the quality of the goods on display is reflected in their prices, not somewhere to go if you are short of a bob or two! The store has the usual departments - cosmetics, perfumery, ladies handbags, ladies and gents clothing and a wonderful food department. In the food section you can browse around the unusual selections of items available from all over the world, amongst these are some products that most of us can afford to buy. Even if we can't afford...

Review of Harvey Nichols (Department Stores)

Edinburgh Harvey Nics

Advantages: great clothes, brilliant selection of clothes, great atmosphere no pressure
Disadvantages: I need some money

...The count down for ages to see Harvey Nichols in Edinburgh open was finally coming to an end. After weeks of hearing about it finally the day had come for the open day. I didn't go the first day though because it would be too busy and I hate going on the first day. I went about a week and a half later thinking it would calm down but no, still mile long queues which could take up to 20 minutes to get in. I was in a rush and couldn't wait in the heat to get in. I know it may sound strange when I say heat but Scotland can have it's Autumn summer days. After about a month of being open I went back again but then I remembered all of the celebrities would be there because it was the official open day, no luck for me. I was going to stay to see Ewan McGregor and I could have been second in the queue behind a girl who looked as if she had...

Harveys Kitchen Studio

Advantages: Above Average Quality, Reasonable Prices, Excellent Designers
Disadvantages: None!

...Kitchen Studio is part of the Harvey's Group, and has branches within Harvey's furniture stores, and Roseby's linnen stores. Kitchen Studio itself is a designer, supplier & fitter of kitchen units, work surfaces & appliances. Having recently moved into a house with a kitchen which was barely fit to prepare food in, a new kitchen was high on our list of priorities to sort out. We had a look around the various offerings, and made a shortlist of a number of suppliers - Moben, B&Q, Kitchen Studio, and Magnet. All of the various vendors will point out how much better their stuff is over and above anyone else's, but the long and short of it seems to be that there is actually very little in it quality wise - they pretty much all offer similar finishes, with basically vaneered chipboard doors and cabinets. The differences between...
