Bedroom Philosophy

Advantages: it's something that feminists can have a chick fight over; i.e. disagree
Disadvantages: More violent than erotic, and might contain too much "philosophy" for some

...La Philosophie Dans le Boudoir, which is translated as Philosophy in the Bedroom in some versions and as The Bedroom philosophers in others, is a play written by Marquis de Sade in 1795. It represents the transformation of the 15-year-old virgin, Eugénie, who was brought up by her virtuous mother to become an honest woman. Her father, who disapproves of his wife's way of life, sends her to learn from three libertines how life should be lived. The trio encourages the young girl to express all her desires and passions, and her ultimate hatred seems to be saved for her own mother. The virtuous woman is ridiculed and humiliated by everyone and then she is stripped, beaten, and punished by her daughter and her companions. This punishment reaches its highest point when the group instructs a servant who has syphilis to have sex with the woman...

Review of The Bedroom Philosophers - Marquis de Sade

  Working for Tesco

Advantages: Good pay, great benefits package
Disadvantages: Crap uniform, crap managers

...Ok, first of all, I'd just like to mention, this is a looooooooooooong review, so if you're not actually interested in reading about Tesco as an employer, then I'd suggest you don't bother as it will take some patience to get through! When I left school at the age of 18, and having decided I couldn't be bothered with university, I suddenly had to face the big bad world and go and find myself a job. I wasn't really fussy about what job I did - I've never been ambitious, and simply wanted a job where I could go to work, do my job, come home and not have to think about it. As our local Tesco is just 5 minutes away, I decided to apply there. I wrote a letter requesting an application form, and a few days later received a lovely letter and the form I had asked for. I read through the form and thought, wow, I don't know how to answer...

Tesco trains

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: As good as original brands

...Santa bought my four year old the lovely mountain train set made by tesco. He desperately wanted a train set and when we were in Toysrus we would look at the brio sets and then look around the other toys. It was not unitl near to Christmas that I actually decided to look at the price. I was horrified to discover how expensive brio train sets were. I looked in several other shops ELC etc but they too were too expensive. I found a cheap set in ASDA but it did not seem to be compatabile with brio or even near to the quality, so I decided not to buy the train set from there either. When we were shopping in Tescos my son pointed out the train sets and took a real interest in a lovely mpuntain train set which had had a wooden train set, a little bridge, wooden animals, trees, tunnels, trains, carriages,sign and mountains all for £24...

Review of Tesco Wooden Train Set

Tescos

Advantages: Great Value
Disadvantages: Puts local businesses under stress

...Tescos is King of all supermarkets and I think that they are best for value in the long term or in the big shop as well. As a student I have found that the tesco down the road from me is my new home, as opposed to the Centre up the road that can be so expensive some times in comparison. Tescos sells your average grocerys as well as dvd's and electricals, clothes, office supplies, tobacco and confectionary, alcohol, cards for special occassions and toys. Everything you need seems to almost be in one store, there is also a tesco value line that provides Tescos own products at a cheaper price. The staff in Tescos are always friendly where I come from in Cookstown, they always help you find something if your not quite sure where it is and always strike up a pleasant conversation at the help desk, though I understand that some...

All aboard the Tesco train

Advantages: Cheap, well made, compatible with other brands
Disadvantages: none i can see

...I have 6 young nephews all are train mad and the all have the ELC train sets. You know the ones I mean wooden tracks and engines that cost a fortune. Well come Chritmas and birthdays buying for them all is a nightmare so i usually end up getting them additions to their trainsets but find the early learning ones a bit pricy, a single engine is around £5 and a set of 4 wooden people will se you back £4. So while doing me grocery shopping I decided to stop off at the toy secion in Tesco to see if there was anything suitable for nephew who was turning 3 years old. It was here I discovered that Tesco do a wooden train set which is compatible with other brands. After very close inspection I decided it looked just as good quality as the ELC and for a fraction of the price. On this occasion I bought a zoo train which included an engine, 3...

Review of Tesco Wooden Train Set

Tesco supermarket

Advantages: A wide variety of well priced goods
Disadvantages: Toilets maybe need cleaning a little more often

...Tesco plc over the years has become a household name. A gentleman by the name of Jack Cohen who hailed from East London founded the company in 1919. The Tesco brand first appeared in 1924,when Jack Cohen bought a shipment of tea from T.E.Stockwell..he combined the first three letters of the name (TES) along with the first tow letters of his own surname (CO ) and formed the word `Tesco`. Tesco started life as a retailer of food and drink,but recent years have seen Tesco diversify into other areas such as clothing,consumer electronics,financial services,CD`s ,music downloads,Internet service,telecoms,health insurance,dental plans,software and DVD`s.

TESCO

Advantages: Friendlly people, easy job
Disadvantages: pay,staff benefits

...Having worked for Tesco at some point I have an employee and also a customer's perspective. I was employed when I was 16; it started off as part time work because I was at college. This suited me because my hours were convenient, the pay was good - above the minimum wage, overtime was available at the drop of a hat and it was a really easy job. For a young person the training was a breeze - everything was easy to pick up and the local store where I worked had friendly older women to guide me through all the millions of questions I asked. (Best way to learn - asking all the questions under the sun) I was initially trained on checkouts - the system was old but manageable and the main focus was being polite to your customer, offering to pack their bags, building rapport and of course SMILING. TESCO do monthly checks on you...

No hair left but a beautiful bedroom

Advantages: Very well finished
Disadvantages: Don't care about the customer

...Our nearly 15 year old flat packed bedroom furniture had seen better days and we (really me!) decided that we should invest in some new stuff. Picture this, drawers that go lopsided when they fall off the runners. Wardrobe rails that keep falling down, door handles that fall off. Where do we start? First we visited the well known furniture retailer who sold us the original flat packs. Things have improved since then. We chose our favourite design and the salesman put together a package based on our room measurements. That came to about £1900 including fitting. But it was ?put together?. It lacked cohesion and I just had this gut feeling that it wasn?t quite what I wanted. My daughter and I visited another local fitted bedroom company (when my husband was at work!) and I was faced with the most sexist salesman I have ever...

Review of Sharp's Bedroom Furniture

Sharp's Fitted Bedroom Furniture

Advantages: Great design, making the most of space.
Disadvantages: Wish we had more storage space.

...Sharp's Bedrooms My Husband & I were looking for a fitted bedroom. We started to review the market. Sharps Bedrooms were recommended, since friends of ours had the Oslo Range. We were fortunate enough to see it in their bedroom, and I must say it looked superb. They told us it came with a 5 year guarantee and gave us an indication what they paid for it. We organised a designer to visit and within a couple of hours, he had measured and designed us a bedroom. The drawings were very impressive. Their was no hassle. We told him we were looking for other quotes and he was o.k with this. Had Hammonds arrive a few days later. Different ball game, tried to brow beat us into signing on the day and kept reducing the price. Virtually told us we were wasting HIS time. Decided to go ahead with Sharps, Nice choice of finance plans, took...

TESCO - Awesome Giant!

Advantages: Clubcard, Great Value, Large Stores some 24hr, Convenient, Friendly Staff
Disadvantages: Company too Big, Taking over, putting small shops out of business

...>------------------------------< TESCO STORES PLC >------------------------------< >---------------< Introduction >---------------< Tesco is one of the worlds largest companies, with supermarkets ranging the world over and products now far in excess of food and drink. To some, Tesco is a company that is too big for its boots, too powerful, and too manipulative over local areas. To an extent I am inclined to agree with them. Small shops which have been trading for decades, overhauled by the introduction of a large Tesco to the area. However, I am a huge fan of Tesco not just because I have a large 24hr Tesco at the end of my road but also I am in favour of the huge range of products and services that Tesco provide and the jobs that it brings to the local area. Clearly this review has the potential to go on forever, but please...
