Philosophy made cool. The journeys of 'The One'.

Advantages: It IS the greatest box set and does not fail to please.
Disadvantages: Will take up a large chunk of your life.

...Before I begin, I must say that I received this as a present which I didn't ask for, and, having seen all three films in the trilogy, I neglected the box set for over six months. It wasn't until a rainy saturday when I was bed-ridden with a chest infection that I first watched it. Quite frankly, I have never been so happy to be so ill. I was lucky to stay ill for a further four days and did nothing but watch the box set. By the end of that week I was convinced, either I was 'The One' and I was trying to out think the machines and exert my Will to Power and exile myself from the Matrix, or the Matrix is the greatest film based on philosophical themes ever made. And that statement I can justify to be absolutely true... Most who buy this product will so as they watched one or more of the Matrix trilogy and, like me and millions of others...

Hoover 'The One'

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Too New, Awful backup/spares/support/built quaility

...Hoover certainly was 'The One' for me. Total nightmare from the minute I opened the box(es)! The very first time I used the spring clip holding the detachable pipe fell off!. This made it very difficult to use as the smallest amount of pressure made the clip 'fly off' and the suction not work. The instructions ask consumers to 'not return' their Hoover to their dealer but to phone the Hoover helpline- to cut a long story short- DONT BOTHER. Hoover do NOT keep any spares for this new 'flagship' product but just make endless empty promises. (The first engineer said that 'he hadnt seen one of these-"the're too new".) At this point I returned 'The One' to the dealer who promptly exchanged for another brand new one. Guess what the new one had MORE faults that the last- same 'clip flying off' fault PLUS the nossle cracked 2nd time I used it...

Review of Hoover H1.M

ThisBook is 'The One You Really Want'

Advantages: An excellent read
Disadvantages: Hard to put down, so nothing else gets done!!

...This is another Jill Mansell classic. The cover is white with a window at the top with a girl sitting at it in a blue dress. There is also a window at the bottom of the page with a dog at it. Jill Mansell is written across the page in pink, and 'The one you really want' is written underneath in blue. The story begins in Edinburgh with Nancy, who knows that before Christmas her husband has been buying jewellery. On Christmas Day itself she receives a sit on lawnmower, which is when she realises he probably has somebody else in his life. Meanwhile in London, Nancy's friend, Carmen, is getting over losing her husband, Spike, to a drug-related death. His brother, Rennie, arrives at Carmen's and moves in to give her company. Carmen helps Nancy over her troubled marriage by asking her to move into her house in London with her...

Review of The One You Really Want - Jill Mansell

'The One' to watch.

Advantages: Excellent SFX and story, great characters, great martial arts scenes.
Disadvantages: 0

...'The One' really is the film to watch right now. Starring Jet Li, and Delroy Lindo, with superb direction by James Wong, this film pushes the boundaries in martial arts skills, Special FX, and science fiction all at once. There are many universes, collectively called the multiverse, and within each universe is another version of yourself, they look like you, sound like you, they are you, each of you shares the same essence, and if one of you dies, your essence is divided between the remaining you's. Jet Li plays a Multiverse Police Officer, who's duty is to prevent illegal travel between the universes, one day whilst policing the multiverse he unnavoidably has to kill another version of himself, from then on realising that he gets stronger everytime he kills another one of himself, he embarks on an insane journey to become 'The...

Review of The One (DVD)

This could be 'The One' for you

Advantages: Digitally enhanced gives a sharper sound
Disadvantages: I sometimes think 'remastered' can make music sound too perfect.

...I have written a review on the original release of this album, knowing that a 'remastered' one was released in 1998. However, to me, all that changes is a more sharper and more perfect sound to the tracks. For me, I swither a little with 'remastered' products because everything just becomes a little bit too squeaky clean. Anyway, the following is not of the 1998 re-release ..but the 1992 release. It has the same songs with the same artistes. Having started piano lessons at the age of four years old, Reginald Dwight, better known to the nation as Elton John, has released many a great album. Once again, in 1992, exercising that rich tenor of his and accompanied by his much loved piano, the release of yet another album entitled 'The One' found it's way into shops across the country and is dedicated to Vance Buck. All...

Review of One, The [Remastered] - Elton John

Hogshead - "The one inch rule."

Advantages: Good atmoshere. Friendly staff. Good food.
Disadvantages: Busy, busy, busy at the weekends.

.... It is used to describe waiters/waitresses , who give "table service" They operate under strict guide lines. Wear uniform bearing the "Hogshead" logo which identifies them clearly. "Team leaders" are supervisors. They wear a "headset" which maintains communication between senior members of staff . Allowing general staff to be moved to different areas of the pub. Which actually reduces waiting times for the general public with regard to food and drink orders . (I have seen this in action , it is most effective.) Weekends when the pub really does "rock" there are "bouncers" on the door. They too use the headsets to be on hand if customers become abusive either to one another or to members of staff. There is very low tolerance to "troublemakers" Which makes it a great family venue too. "The one inch rule" I am not really sure about...

Review of Hogshead Exeter

Relive the Ashes Series (the one that we won)

Advantages: Relive all the tension of the 2005 series
Disadvantages: None

...follows :- DVD 1 - 1st Test at Lords, 2nd Test at Edgbaston The first test of the series saw Kevin Pietersen make his England test debut. All was going well for England on the first morning as they had the Aussies in all kinds of trouble and ended up bowling them out cheaply on the first afternoon. England could not rest on their laurels however as a devestating spell of fast bowling from Glenn McGrath ripeed through England giving the Aussies a small first innings lead. Australias batsmen faired much better in the second innings and gave themselves a competitive total to defend. Englands batsmen failed for the second time in the match and not even the trusty English weather could save the inevitable. 1-0 to the Aussies. The Edgbaston test at the start of August will go down as one of the most memorable of all time. England raced...

Friendchips,The one with the Dorito's

Advantages: Taste Great
Disadvantages: Theres never enough

...Let me start by saying that when Doritos’s first came out I didn’t want to rush out the the nearest shop to buy them. They didn’t appeal to me at all at first and the fact that the price was a little high for my liking. I thought to myself I’ll stick with a packet of Salt and Vinegar Crisps. I first tried Doritos lightly Salted around one of my mates sleepovers, there were a few bowls of them on the table along with a salsa dip, I thought I’d try one, so I did. Before you know It I had finished one bowl and starting tucking into another bowl full, they are just so Moorish that once you start eating them you can’t stop until there gone. That’s when I got hooked, they just taste so amazing. They are made from the tradition Mexican way. Its basically made from a soft dough and then some...

Review of Walkers Doritos Dippas - Lightly salted

Its good...but its not 'the one'

Advantages: Interesting, Satirical, Comic, Mysterious, Gripping
Disadvantages: Steals from real events a little TOO obviously

...then join the police team at the station on Day 30 viewing tapes. The tapes are of Day 1. Then we join the team working on the case on Day 31, looking at tapes of Day 2, Day 3, etc. As we move to the murder, the police team on Day 36 are viewing tapes of Day 27. Then we read Day 28, Day 29, and we join the police team on Day 37 as they view the tapes of Day 30, etc. The point is everything is told in the present tense, as it is happening, and makes for interesting reading as things happen before the police find out, the police see things long after they happen, etc. It would probably be useful to explain a little more about the story. 10 housemates are locked in a house on a Reality TV show called House Arrest (I'm sure you're familiar in one way or another with the idea of Big Brother-its exactly the same), totally isolated from...
