Advantages: A Truly Historic Event. Fascinating Veteran cars. Low Speed Thrills and Spills! Disadvantages: Weather Can Be Awful. Brighton Sea Front Very Crowded.
...Being privileged to live in Brighton, for almost all of my life, I may be forgiven for becoming somewhat blasé about some of the annual events and attractions that take place here. Some of these are 'local' events, whilst others are far more widely known. Probably the most well established event on the calendar is the London to Brighton Veteran CarRun. Brighton has links with the dawning of the motorcar that may well not be widely known. An example of this is the National Speed Trials, held on the sea front on the first Saturday of September each year. This event has taken place since 1905, the year that the Brighton and Hove Motor Club (the oldest motor club in the country) was founded.
However, even that illustrious motoring event pales into insignificance when compared to the London to Brighton Run, which was first staged on 14th...
Advantages: Enjoyable action, decent violence, gore and Arnie one-liners. Disadvantages: Missing the intelligence of the source novel making it fairly one-dimesional.
...THE RUNNING MAN
Stephen King, you could presume, has a certain degree of foresight. Whilst not exactly identical to his novel The Running Man (written under his pseudonym Richard Bachman and published in 1982), the likes of Big Brother, Shipwrecked and any other hopeless reality television programme you care to mention certainly conforms to his future society where the masses lap up reality game shows. Yet the game shows in King's world are often deadly to the contestants despite the big money prizes on offer, making it all the more intriguing for the bloodthirsty audiences of the future to enjoy. Imagine being treated to the likes of watching some nobody looking for their 15 minutes of fame "Climbing for Dollars", before they slip and fall into a pit of wild dogs and are torn to shreds by Mutley and Co. for being an utterly miserable...
Advantages: Original, fast-paced storytelling, a visceral thrill. Disadvantages: Hard to work out the thinking behind the action.
...A short, sharp curiosity of a film, the German offering Run Lola Run (Lola Rennt) is an unrelenting assault on the senses that tells the story of twenty minutes - three times. Lola (Franka Potente) receives a call at home from her panicked boyfriend, Manni, an errand-boy for a Berlin gangster; he has mislaid the package he was supposed to be transporting and needs to raise 100,000 Deutschmarks before his boss catches up with him. Fearing for his life, he tells Lola that he plans to rob the supermarket opposite his phonebox. Attempting to advise Manni against this, Lola can only secure herself a twenty-minute delay; when the clock strikes midday, Manni will enter the supermarket - unless his girlfriend can get there with the money first.
With this, Lola starts running, trying to secure the money and reach Manni on the opposite side...

Review of Run Lola Run (DVD)
...I would just like to write a review on running for charity, although it is something that I may actually have covered in part in some of my previous reviews in some descriptions. However, back to the subject in hand.
Advantages:
1. You get fit, as you have to train in order to complete the final run (this is usually by way of a marathon).
2. You get to meet like minded people, although they may not all be running for your own charity (or they may not even be running for charity!).
3. You get a feeling of purpose and a sense of goodness, as you are doing something to not only help yourself but also to benefit others in some way.
Disadvantages:
1. Will power, in terms of actually getting off your behind to train! Also, doing the marathon is also something that needs will power. If you don't have it, then you are a bit...

Review of Running for Charity
...I would just like to offer some thoughts on running, after spending sme time doing it in training for the local half marathon.
One of the good things about running is that it actually not only gets you out of the house, but believe it or not actually gets you fit at the same time! It is about one of the only things that helps you to get fit, that doesn't cost a single penny to do! OK, so you have to buy a decent pair of running shoes along with some decent kit - but as an intial outlay, that is nothing compared to the fun that can be had in this hobby.
This is also something that can be done with a friend, as you can encourage one another as you go along. Or, you could also always join a running club and meet new like mminded friends at the same time as getting fit (OK, fitter!).
However, there are many downsides to running...
Advantages: Good colour and texture, smells lovely, enhances colour Disadvantages: Expensive for what it does
...Seeing as my hair is now at the stage where it needs a complete rest from dyeing, I have been on the lookout for alternative ways of keeping my red colour a little bit longer. Therefore, when I saw The Big W had a sale on recently, I was happy to snap up this product for half price. (Expect to pay between £3 and £4 for a 250ml bottle normally.)
Te Tao has been a well-known range for quite a while now, but it wasn’t one I had ever tried, feeling the products were rather over-priced. They do a range of shampoos for various hair types (see www.tetao.com for further details) but this one caught my eye because it is a deep, dark orange-red colour and had the word ‘henna’ in it. As you probably know, henna has been used for centuries to dye hair in a more natural way than using bleaches and chemicals.
The full name...
Advantages: It's a fast-paced, exciting, inventive masterpiece Disadvantages: It's a bit strange; it's German (only jesting)
...I only came across Run Lola Run because my favourite episode of The Simpsons, Trilogy Of Errors, contained an homage to this film. You may have seen it; it's the one where they show one day from the perspective of each family member. Lisa is late for her school science fair, so she runs down the street to some techno background music. I subsequently learned that that scene is based on Lola Rennt (or Run Lola Run), a German film from 1998, starring Franka Potente.
The film tells the story of red-haired Lola, who has just 20 minutes in which to find 100,000 Deutschmarks. Her boyfriend, Manni (played by Moritz Bleibtreu) needs the money by 12 o'clock or he will be killed by a gangster after a transport mix-up caused him to leave a bag of money on the train. Lola doesn't know what to do; her impulse reaction is to drop the phone, run...

Review of Run Lola Run (DVD)
Advantages: Better than getting the bus! Disadvantages: Can be expensive to run. If you dont look after your car you can make the warranty invalid
...round to everything else that is taught about electric. Crossing the leads wrong could cause a battery to explode or the car to catch fire and if your lucky just a new alternator.
Alternator Belts: - Another common failure is alternator belts, which may also run power steering and brake pumps. Check for cracks, and also the free play. Basically this means press the belt in the middle with your fingers midway between two carrying wheels and see if you can be pushed in by more than 2cm. If so it needs tightened up to prevent it from making a horrible high-pitched noise and to ensure it continues to charge the battery.
Antifreeze: - Check that your car has enough in before the cool icy mornings come. If the engine water freezes it will damage your engine. Most fast fit centre offer you a free checks to test your anti freezes strength...
Advantages: QUALITY, VALUE FOR MONEY, COMPACT. Disadvantages: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
...INTRO
After the sudden death of my 7 year old Pro-form treadmill it was time to start looking for something to replace it with but being somewhat out of pocket (probably due to credit crunch/petrol prices) my budget was under £400. I must say I didn't think that I'd be able to get much treadmill for my money.
FINDING A TREADMILL
I started my searching on the Internet with a firm called fitness-superstore http://www.fitness-superstore.co.uk, which has a great range of low priced treadmills and I soon became zapped by the latest designs and specifications of the new range of treadmill on the market. As I set my budget at under £400 this helped me to narrow my searching and leave me with 3 possible treadmills that met my needs, the makes were Pro-form, Weslo, Reebok.
After some head scratching I decided that the 'Reebok I RUN...

Review of Reebok I Run +
Advantages: Excellent highly defined display. Good for the price. Disadvantages: Can develop faults over time.
...Earlier this year, lacking the funds for a fancy flat screen TFT or LCD monitor to replace my 4 year old Dell monitor I decided to opt for the Relisys TE 770 model CRT model. Having never even heard of the brand name before, I was rather skeptical.
My sole reason for buying the TE 770 was that it was the only black monitor currently on offer in the shop, put simply I wanted my new monitor to compliment my other hardware components.
Setting the model up was quite easy, a power cable is supplied with the monitor, though you may need some help from another person when lifting the monitor onto a desk or workspace.
You do need to plug in two leads, the monitor's input cable, and the power cable. The input cable must be slotted into the American style 3 - pin slot in the back of your tower/ flat case unit.
The power cable has two ends...
