I'd recommend a box of these to any lover of plain chocolates, as they are a nice cross section of different chocolates in a box. ~ FURTHER INFORMATION ~ Nestlé Consumer Services PO Box 203 York YO91 1XY Telephone: 0800-63785385 Website: www.nestle.co.uk...

Advantages: first class call reception and range, looks stylish, hard wearing, easy to use
Disadvantages: fingerprints seem to be attracted to the base unit

...When it comes to replacing anything within the house I have little input mainly due lack of general interest so it is left to my wife to co-ordinate the purchase of pretty much everything. Whilst I may seem a touch lazy I would add that she selects what she wants while I just work my butt off to pay for them. Not being one to settle for a plain replacement telephone that would cost around the £30 mark my wife decided she really loved the look of the MagicBox Touch cordless telephone costing £75 for just one handset. When told how much it had cost I went weak at the knees and expected a top of the range telephone. Thankfully and over time I have learnt to appreciate that the premium cost of the phone has ensured the purchase of a remarkable piece of equipment. The telephone sits within a heavy cradle unit made from polished plastic. My... Read review

Advantages: Free, Easy to Setup
Disadvantages: Can block calls you might want; cannot stop Text messages

...The TPS (http://www.tpsonline.org.uk/tps/) is an 'opt in to opt out' service..... You can also call to register on 0845 070 0707 The UK, for whatever wisdom, has determined that you may register you preference to not receive those frustrating 'cold' calls from sales and marketing companies. Note - unless you actively opt out via this service, you are deemed to have opted in if *any* company has legitimately acquired your contact details !!!! The Data Protection Act stops much of your personal details being passed around without you permission, but how many times have you carefully read those tiny messages on forms and ticked the box to stop this? Did you know that there is no regulation that says you have a consistent tick to opt in or opt out? One tick might stop your telephone number and personal details being passed on... Read review

Advantages: Cheap Easy to use and friendly
Disadvantages: Not very comfy bus

...Magical Memories with Magic Bus New Zealand is an amazing country but with so much to see and do it is hard to fit it all into 6 weeks, thankfully I discovered The Magic Bus! What is the Magic Bus? The Magic Bus offers affordable 'Hop on Hop off' bus tickets valid for up to 12 months, the passes cover different areas of New Zealand so depending upon your length of stay you can chose the one that's best for you. Passes: Some passes cover both islands and some cover just the north or just the south, I opted for the Wayward Wanderer Pass that covers the two islands. I purchased my pass online before I left the UK but you can also purchase your pass when you arrive, if you book online you do get a discount, my pass cost me $645 NZ which is £240. Magic Bus often have offers like buy one get one free as well so... Read review

Advantages: Easy on the brain
Disadvantages: Bit of a throwback to olden days T.V

..., to 250,000. Someone at ITV seems to have a box fetish of some description, what is it about boxes and gameshows ? Freud argued that all fetishism is essentially a way of compensating for male castration anxiety -- the shoe or shoe box, stands in for the all-powerful phallus, and is a kind of magical talisman against its loss. He reasoned that women cannot have fetishes because women don't have castration anxiety. He ignored his own findings that women DO have fetishes in order to make his theory seem perfect and all-encompassing. Maybe Noel has a castration anxiety and hence the need for quite so many shoe boxes, and don't forget he does this everyday at 4.15, and a repeat performance twice nightly thereafter, poor fellow must be worn out ! Maybe there is some kind of psychological link between opening boxes, and opening Christmas... Read review

Advantages: Very Tasty Good Quality Good Value for Money
Disadvantages: A Bit Fattening

...For serious lovers of chocolate, I frankly admit I have to place myselfvery firmly in this category, Black Magic is one of the great favourite brands of Boxed chocolates. If I remember correctly, the two most popular sizes of Black Magic are the 227 gr and 454 gr boxes. The former is the one I am more familiar with. This is very prominent brand in Britain and you don’t have to go to up-market chocolateries to find them. Many grocers and supermarkets know just how popular Black Magic chocolates are and give a considerable amount of shelf space to this product. If you arelucky enough to be a bit of a jet setter you will also find most chocolate shops at the Duty free emporiums at international airports also stock dear "...Ole Black Magic..." Trusting to memory again -well I am getting on you know -the 227gr box retails... Read review

Advantages: You think you know DisneyWorld? Look for Imagineers, Reedy Creek, Facilities Way, Utilidors
Disadvantages: Ever popular, poorly advertised, there may be a waiting list

.... Nancy said that even after 18 years at WDW she still got lost in there on occasions. Cast members are bound by the Seven Rules of the Kingdom in how they interface with Guests (see below). This is where Cast Members go to get changed, move around the Magic Kingdom, eat, socialise and cool off from the heat of the day. They have their own magazine "Eyes and Ears". They are also urged to recycle everything - there was even a box in which to place the stubs from their pay checks. The only one thing that is not Disney is the background music piped through the corridors. This comes from a local radio station.

Advantages: All the classics from their early years are featured
Disadvantages: Only covers 1979-1988, the 3 omitted singles could have been included instead of the two dodgy extended 12" mixes which take up almost 15 minutes between them

...departments. Messages wasn't the follow-up to Electricty, that honour going to Red Frame, White Light - a song about, yes you guessed it, a telephone box. It's one of the *missing* singles from this compilation. The next four hits, sequenced chronologically, all made the UK Top 10...and probably rank as OMD's best-known and loved recordings. Enola Gay, named after (and based on the story of) the US aircraft which dropped the Atom Bomb on Hiroshima after the end of World War 2, entrenched itself in the charts at the end of 1980. Driven by a pulsating bass and drum pattern, it was (and still is) a fantastically catchy tune. "This kiss you give is never ever going to fade away...." sounded at first like your typical love song lyric, and that was the entire song's masterstroke - taking a potent subject and putting a twist on it, so without...

Advantages: Fantastic customer service
Disadvantages: Room a bit tired

...We spent three nights at The Magic Castle Hotel, from 11th to 14th July 2007, and decided it was a great place. The Magic Castle Hotel wasn't our first stop while in the US on this occasion, as we arrived at the Magic Castle from just outside of San Diego, where we'd spent the previous five nights in a four star resort which frankly, we hated. So our disappointment of such a resort may have influenced our judgement slightly of The Magic Castle. The Magic Castle was recommended in the guide book, and, as I was unfamiliar with LA and the trip wasn't booked well in advance, we decided to give it a go. I booked the room via the hotel's own website. As the hotel is attached to The Magic Castle, which, according to their website, is the world's most famous club for magicians and magic enthusiasts, the hotel website has a magical... Read review

Advantages: You have magic powers, what else is there to say?
Disadvantages: You need other expansion packs, which they fail to mention - naughty.

...at the same time to bring the little cheat box up and type in - “rosebud; ;” without the “” obviously and keep your finger on the enter button to get lots of loot in your bank. If only it worked in reality - sigh). And the ungrateful, temperamental little fiends throw it back in your face (do they not know who we are???- tsk). If you don’t keep them happy enough, they will refuse to do your bidding. Anyway, the Sims game I am reviewing is the latest expansion pack from EA Games, ‘The Sims Makin’ Magic’. There is no point whatsoever buying this game if you don’t have either ‘The Sims’, ‘The Sims Deluxe’ or ‘The Sims Double Deluxe’ as this game is an add-on and will NOT work without either of these originals. I purchased this game for £19.99 in Woolworths (although I have seen it for £18.99 in the ‘GAME’ shops. Basically with this game you... Read review
