Cheesestringfellows

Advantages: Dont knock it til you try it !
Disadvantages: Once you try it you will most definitely knock it!!!!

...You may have seen this fella called Peter Stringfellow on the news from time to time. A shrinking violet of the like the world has not seen since Brigitte Bardot, he is difficult to catch. He runs a nightclub, you know! Its in "swinging" london's west end, and it SUCKS ! Oh - whoops - did I spoil the surprise ?! Some history first. Your honour, ladies and gentlemen of the jury...I was only there becuase my girl at the time had some friends from the countryside who thought it would be a great birthday wheeze to hire a limosine and boot it up to London for a night at a "Top" nightspot. When asked to attend, I said no. I swear! Being an international jewel theif is pretty well paid - but the overheads are sky high and therefore I am not a rich person, and what money I have... i like to spend on things that make me happy. i knew...

Review of Stringfellows (London)

Pole dancers and bouncers

Advantages: Different from most
Disadvantages: door policy, clientele, atmosphere, vibe

..."I'm so pink and fluffy just look at my feathers and my friends" said the small army of young women trying to enter Stringfellows on a Saturday night. The Bouncers look them up and down and let them in. "I’m a pretentious git with loads of cash, have nifty on me Champaign for me and my mates" said the tasteless lads from east London. No problem sirs please come in. "I'm a bit part actor, this is my hanger-on friend, we know Quentin Qusip the famous Coronation Street actor, can we come in?" Of course says the bouncer, any friend of Quentin is a friend of mine. This type of conversation continues with differing parties of people. Until a small group of rather large women try and enter Stringfellows, The Bouncer looks at them, folds his arms and shakes his head. "Not tonight ladies, we're full". This is the ethos...

Review of Stringfellows (London)

They Strip and Tease

Advantages: great place for the guys
Disadvantages: no touching?

...I think most guys would find this place a great place to relax. You walk into Stringfellows and you are greeted by the sight of two stages with three poles on them. You walk further into the club and you see men with ladies sitting on their laps and you wonder just how rich you have to be before the strict no touching rules exclude you. I'm female so I did actually command some attention going into a place like that. In fact, some guy thought I was a dancer. I don't want to come across as a defensive pervert but the main reason why I went into a strip joint was because I saw Robbie William's silver blue Bentley parked outside Stringfellows. I didn't get to see Robbie Williams himself but I did exchange greetings with Peter Stringfellow himself, which was altogether quite cool. This is the strip club that boasts of celebrity...

Review of Stringfellows (London)

Airwolf. A Mach Two + helicopter

Advantages: Great series one of the best
Disadvantages: Went downhill after series three

...Airwolf is one of my favourite shows from the 1980's. The story begins with the super hi-tech helicopter being stolen by it's creator Dr Moffet, Moffet and with a two man crew heads to Lybia and after destroying the test centre, He uses Airwolf for Colonel Qaddafi. It is when an American destroyer is sunk that the mysterious man in white Michael Arch Angel asks the original test pilot and Vietnam Vet Stringfellow Hawke to steal it back. Hawke is reluctant but has to go through with it when his Grandfathers art collection is removed and the persusion of Gabriel he takes on the mission . Hawke enlists the help of his only friend Domonic Santini to recover the chopper. Things go bad when Moffet interrogates Gabriel and then tortures her in the dunes. Hawke gets his revenge and blows Moffet into a zillion pieces. Hawke then hides...

Review of Airwolf

Would you like a doggy bag to go?

Advantages: Quick meal
Disadvantages: Having to put up with them to start with

...We all relish the idea of sitting down to a lovely meal with close friends and lots of interesting conversation about hot topics. My list for most unwanted dinner guest is purely my choice and you may not agree. 1) David Blaine - He may be very clever in the art of illusion, but did you ever see Eamon Holmes trying to interview him on GMTV? What a nightmare. I would rather eat Liver or Kidneys. 2) Eamon Holmes - All he seems to talk about is Manchester United football club. Excuse me, but I am going to bed now. Snore bore. 3) Simon Cowell - Sorry, but he just irritates the hell out of me. Bloody know all. Get some decent trousers mate. 4) Tara Palmer-Tomkinson - Spoilt brat who does nothing and just lives off the family name and money. Talks complete rubbish. 5) Peter Stringfellow - What would he possibly have to say...

Review of Everything that starts with M ...

Bad guys...Here comes the pain

Advantages: Amazing theme, Great Prototype, etc
Disadvantages: NONE!!

...An absolute legendry TV Series, Airwolf has everything needed to make it as charismatic as it is, it?s actually synonymous with the words sleek and charming. The Cast (Main Characters) Jan Michael Vincent as Stringfellow Hawk is the mainstay of this magnificently entertaining theatrical spectacle, the Main Pilot of Airwolf. Donald Bellisario (the Director) did an absolutely magnificent job of picking a perfect person for this job, his elegance at the cockpit is matched by very few, he needed a good co-pilot, and he got one in Ernest Borgnine (Dominic Santini), a close friend and a perfect deputy of Stringfellow. They are guided and advised by the war expertise of Maj. Mufta-Ben Kamal (Frank Annese). The Plot Airwolf a next generation combat chopper was a secret and highly classified project put together by the US military...

Review of Airwolf

Airwolf to the rescue

Advantages: Has some great acrobatic stunts
Disadvantages: Not as good without the original cast members

...Airwolf is another of the classic series’ from the 80’s. Airwolf is a high tech helicopter which is capable of incredibly high speeds only seen with jet fighter planes, it also carries a huge arson of weapons from chain guns to missiles. The episodes are filled with amazing stunts in helicopters, from loops to high precision flying meters from the ground. The original series stared Stringfellow Hawk (Michael Vincent) and Dom Santini (Ernest Borgnine), then they were killed off at the end of the third series and in the fourth they brought in Sringfellows brother played by Barry Van Dyke and Dom Santini’s niece, at this point I thought that the show did decline as it never seemed to feel or be as good without the original cast. The storyline started with Airwolf being stolen by terrorists during it's first public...

Advantages: great entertainment from the eighties
Disadvantages: a little dated now...

Review of Airwolf - Series 1-3 - Complete (DVD)

Can you Hear It? It's a Revelation.

Advantages: The Posies will rock your world
Disadvantages: You'll soon have to buy the rest of their albums

...the standard of any of their earlier stuff and expands on it. They are still growing as a band and making great music. In recent years the remaining original members of the band, the two songwriters Jon Auer and Ken Stringfellow, have devoted their talents to interesting side projects like playing and recording as the reformed Big Star (not more than a little ironic, the most underappreciated band of one generation helping to breathe new life into a 70's band that was seminally influential to many, yet never attained their own success.) Ken Stringfellow also spends much of his time touring with R.E.M., playing keboards and lending backing vocals. The Posies themselves fit in small tours when they can, and they are one of the few bands who are honestly even better live than recorded. Their voices are sublime and can handle acoustic only gigs...
