Africa is Ready For My Emotional Litter

Advantages: Entertaining, Well Written, Funny
Disadvantages: Aimed mainly at a female audience, repetative

...I like to read auto-biographies; I love learning about peoples struggles, their achievements, their passions and truly believe that when reading someone's memoirs your reading a little piece of their soul, your taking a snippet of their wisdom and you are experiencing a moment in time that affected them in some way. I believe you can learn more from an autobiography than any other form of literature and I try my hardest to read them as often as possible. So when I saw Burnt Toast by Teri Hatcher on the shelf I decided that it would be a good one to read next and I'm glad I did because whilst its not as inspirational and life changing as the blurb tries to make out, it is an interesting, refreshing and surprisingly engaging account of someone's pursuit for perfection -and eventual realisation that perfection is neither attainable nor...

Review of Burnt Toast - Teri Hatcher

Burnt Toast - goes down well for a change!

Advantages: Will leave you feeling good!
Disadvantages: One for the girls only!

...Now, I'm not one for celebrity Biography\'s or autobiography\'s especially by so called celebs who bring out a book after being in the limelight for a couple of years or just because they have been on BB (which Teri isn\'t)!! This book however seemed to scream at me from the shelf. I have always liked Teri Hatcher and having seen her in the press for various bad things happening to her I was intreagued to say the least to hear things from her point of view. What a book! I have to say I loved it and couldn't put it down. She is very funny! You fall for her story like that of a blockbuster movie. The book is very personal and she talks very frankly about everything that has happened to her and how she coped, or didn\'t cope as the case may be. You find yourself relating to certain aspects of her story which only helps you be...

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...

Surprising Picture Quality - Panasonic DVD-S54

Advantages: Incredible picture quality when compared to my old non-upscaling player with a scart lead
Disadvantages: Sometimes disc drive can be really noisy when DVD's initially load.

...At first I wasn't convinced by up-scaling DVD player technology but was persuaded after reading an article in "What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision" magazine. Unable to afford a Blu-Ray player my sister and I bought the Panasonic DVD-S54 to match our parents brand new Panasonic TX-32LZD80 LCD television as their Christmas 2008 present. Admittedly it was a slightly selfish purchase as we both live at home and wanted to watch DVDs on the big new TV ourselves! We bought the player from the electrical retailer Comet for about £100 just before Christmas so there were no discounts applied. On Christmas day when opened we found a relatively small box tightly packed with the player in polystyrene packaging. All the components such as cables, remote and manuals were well presented in their own protective plastic bags, to keep them protected. The player...

Advantages: I like these
Disadvantages: You get to know about "borin" old me!

...#1. So, why the username? My name is Teresa and at school it was "cool" to shorten your name so my friends called me Teri. R is the first letrer of my surname. Boring I know! #2. Give us one word to describe you: Boring....tee hee, only kidding. Loyal #3.Chose one Desert Island Disc: Oh my god, just 1 disc! it would have to be to Modfather of Britpop Paul Weller, probably Stanley Road if an album. .#4.

FREE DVDS

Advantages: up to date dvds, four weeks free hire with 3 dvds at a time,
Disadvantages: see review

...My recent quest for FREE DVD hire I visited and many DVD web sites that offered a free trial. Now call me tight (no that wasn?t an invite), but I like bargains and freebies and am not ashamed to say so. My quest took me to enough sites to hire DVDs for about four months so far (with plenty to come too). My latest free DVD site also happens to be the best I have tried for several reasons (see rest of op); the site in question is Blockbuster.co.uk. Other sites that I have had free rentals from and then cancelled have all been similar, two weeks free trial with two DVD?s per time ? which in effect gives you about four free DVD?s. With Blockbuster?s things are different slightly ? which add a great deal of benefit to us the customer. Firstly, you get FOUR whole weeks free rental, which equates to at double the length of time most...

DVDs, DIVX, and looks fantastic.

Advantages: DVDs, DIVX, and looks fantastic.
Disadvantages: none

...Before I bought this DVD player Id never really owned a DVD player before. I had however had and still do have a ps2 on which I used to play my DVDs. I never really went and still don’t go on this so much so I was going to sell it and buy a DVD player. In the end I decided to just keep the ps2 and to get a cheaper DVD player than I was looking for in the first place. The main reason why I wanted a new DVD instead of the one in the ps2 was so I could play divx format DVDs on it. The DVD player in a ps2 doesn’t recognise this format and scene as I have several divx movies already on disk and on my laptop to put onto disk then I wanted a DVD player that would recognise and play this format. Another plus to this format is that it saves space on disks as it compresses movies into smaller file sizes without compromising...
