Chill out in the Living Room, Manchester

Advantages: Great location, food and decor
Disadvantages: Queues!!!!!!

...The Living Room Manchester What is it? The Living Room is a luxurious bar and restaurant located in the heart of Manchester on trendy Deansgate in a great location for shopping and nights out. There are lots of other bars and restaurants surrounding the Living Room (including places such as Est, Est, Est, Pizza Express, Cafe Rouge etc) and it is only five + minutes walk away from Victoria train station. What's there? As you enter on the ground floor you are in the bar area which is known as the living room. Here you can eat during the day (you can also opt to eat upstairs in the dining room, but you tend to need to book more often than not to eat upstairs) as well as enjoy the wide range of drinks and the great coffee (I love the cappuccino here). The prices are pretty much in line with most other city centre bars...

Review of The Living Room

The Living Room - London Heddon Street

Advantages: Great venue, great choice!
Disadvantages: please water the christmas tree!

...Having been reccomended The Living Room as a place to eat I booked my work christmas lunch at The Living Room in Piccadilly (Heddon Street). There was a set menu for pre-bookings which was £35 per head for a three course. We did not have to book in advance just pay £5 per head deposit (which is then taken off the bill). We arrived on time and were seated straight away upstairs. We had a table that was plenty big enough for our party of 8 (although one person couldn\'t come at the last minute). The menu looked fantastic is was hard to decide what to choose. In each of the starter and main options there was two meat, a fish and a vegetarian option. Starters: Butternut squash soup, muchroom ravioli and rissotto, pork roulade or smoked salmon. Mains: Traditional Turkey, 7hr braised beef, Seabass or baked goats cheese. Deserts...

Review of Microsoft Official Xbox 360 - Xbox Live Gold Membership Card

Live Review

Advantages: Play with friends all around the world.
Disadvantages: Only lasts for 1 year.

...The live 12 month gold card enables the player to play online for a year. When i first received it i accessed it very quickly and was surprised to see how easily i was able to get online and play with millions of people all around the world. All i needed to do was enter the code and i could start playing. The benefits of going live is mainly playing against people all around the world and making new friends. But if you are a hardcore gamer, this is the perfect place to be as you get to challenge the best around the world and you even get ranked. What's more is that you can even download exclusive things only from the xbox live marketplace where you can't get from anywhere else. Overall: A must get for all xbox 360 owners. It completes the console and makes the xbxo 360 that much better....

Review of Microsoft Official Xbox 360 - Xbox Live Gold Membership Card

Xbox live

Advantages: Online gaming, good value, networking
Disadvantages: Some lag, temptation to spend more money on extras

...Xbox Live is good value compared to some other online subscriptions e.g. World of Warcradt or Everquest as with these you pay everymonth just for one game, whereas with xbox live you only pay once to go online with pretty much all your games. You then get tempted, however, to pay for extra online contect such as extra levels, characters, backdrops for your xbox live dashboard, arcade games etc. etc. So it's never as cheap as it seems! The service on xbox live is good and it's rare to have connection issues so gameplat online tends to be smooth. Occasionally you may shoot at someone only to find they already moved- lag is rare but does happen and can be annoying. The range of games that can be played online is excellent, and isn't just shooting and fighting! Guitar hero plays online brilliantly with options for guitar battles...

Xbox Live - It's another world

Advantages: Superb experience
Disadvantages: Its not free

...keeps me gripped to the online service for hours. Additional content If you have a gold membership, you are able to download game addons such as extra outfits, cars, golf courses etc. Some of this content will be made available to Silver members but Gold members will get this option a good deal quicker. Also, some content may only be made available to Gold members (this content is usually just for features relating to online play). As a Gold member, you can also download exclusive game demos, trailers and movies, most of them now coming in full 1080 HD. It is worth noting that most of this extra content, with the exception of the demos and trailers is not free. You will need to purchase Microsoft Points if you wish to download any add ons.

Review of Microsoft Official Xbox 360 - Xbox Live Gold Membership Card

Xbox Live is all Gold!

Advantages: the best online community ever!
Disadvantages: the playstation 3 is free for online play

...On purchasing an xbox 360 console you are given a free months xbox live gold membership which can be used once for each xbox live account that is created. However this of course only lasts for a month and after that initial month I was hooked and since then have bought and year's membership and love to play online with my friends over xbox live all the time! What is Gold Membership?: When you create an xbox live account on your xbox 360 there are several different things you have to do. You at first have to input your email address and password in order to verify the account. You then get to choose a gamertag to have - this is your special unique gaming name that you will be recognised as while playing on xbox live - mine is magicman142. The final section on signing up is to choose the type of membership you want: - Silver...

TESCO HEALTHY LIVING RAISIN & APPLE FRUIT BAR

Advantages: tasty, snacksized, low fat
Disadvantages: not big enough

...Tesco Healthy Living Raisin & Apple Fruit Bars are available from, you guessed it, Tesco. Tesco have a wide range of goods that they label as Healthy Living. They cost 99p for a box of 6 and are available in Raisin & Fruit flavour also. Each bar is individually wrapped. I am not going to go into great detail describing the packaging as some Ciao'rs tend to tell you off, other than to say that the box is blue and white and branded with the Healthy Living logo to identify it. This has a little man in red jumping up and down. Each bar has the same logo on it and a picture of the bars. The sell-by date on mine is 30/01/2007, so they obviously keep for a long time. APPEARANCE ++++++++++++ The bar is about four inches long. It has raisins and apple in the middle, which is surrounded by pastry, it is flat on the bottom...

Review of Tesco Healthy Living Raisin & Apple Fruit Bar

Xbox live super fun.

Advantages: Great fun
Disadvantages: Expensive

...If you have a Xbox 360, chances are youll be wanting to purchase one of these! Xbox Live is the leading service for online experiences on gaming consoles, there are tons of arcade games you can purchase, films to rent, tv episodes to buy - the fun is endless. It should be noted that in order to use this code you need to be able to connect to the internet with your xbox, either by wireless or ethernet. This 'card' contains a code which you enter on the xbox to enable you to play online with thousands of other gamers. It costs around £35, unlike the PS3 which is free to play online. But as I and many others agree Xbox Live is far superior and worth every penny. A word of advice, go careful when scratching the code, scratch too hard and code becomes unreadable (There is no way to get your money back!) This card is for gold membership...

tesco citrus zest room fragrance

Advantages: cheap,smells nice
Disadvantages: none

...whilst doing my weekly shop i decided to buy some airfreshener,i dont usualy bother i just burn scented candles.but as my cat had just had 5 kittens and my house wasn't smelling too good so eventualy i settled on tesco citrus zest. *packaging* it comes in a 300ml can which is a lovely orange and yellow colour (mostly orange )with a faint flower design on the front.this can has a press down spray button which reaches higher places. *the product* this is what tesco say on the can"this lively,zesty fragrance has been specially selected to neutralise malodours and bring a citrus twist of freshness into your home". this is very true it makes your house sell so fresh and does help with bad smells.when i brought this i did think the smell might be a little too strong as im not really a citrus person i normaly go for vanilla sents...
