Advantages: A comfortable, durable football boot
Disadvantages: A little clumsy

...The Nike Tiempo Pro SG is a lightweight boot designed for durability and comfort. It is indeed very comfortable when worn and has lasted me many Saturday afternoons! The Tiempo Pro SG is relatively cheap and can be found at between £15-£30 second hand. The boot is made from "full grain leather with a Duraplush collar lining" which does give the boot a comfortable feel. The SG is to be used on soft surfaces but it does have interchangeable studs and if your are playing on different surfaces then the corresponding studs can be purchased from most sports shops. The boot does have good control, although as I talk of later, it is a little clumsy looking. The boot also has a forefoot lip which enhances durability and can be tucked over the laces. The boot's only negative that I have found, is that compared to the new generation... Read review

Advantages: Stops your shins from breaking!
Disadvantages: smell after a while!

...Shinpads are a vital piece of equipment when it comes to football. From the world cup down to the Preston Sunday League Division Four. All players must wear Shinpads. The main reason for this equipment is it hurts when you get kicked in the shin as the shin is made of two bones (tibia and fibula) and they have only skin for protection. So no real protectection. They also break pretty easyly so the shin pad provides massive protection for this tender part of the body. Anybody who sees the likes of Steven Gerrard lunging in with two feet and Mo Sissoko aswell as Michael Essien and of course the famous Roy Keane can see the need for a suit of armour although this would not be practical so the shin pad is the most comfortable padding available. Onto the Nike Tiempo. These were my first choice a short while back as they look very sturdy... Read review

Disadvantages: Some people don't like / understand metaphors

...started to lift off into a state of levitation. So unexpected was this emotional ecstasy, That I opted for preparing an inevitable collapse; But here I am still falling into a sidereal love, Decorating the sky to initiate a new life. © Librelola 2005 The original was also in Spanish, here it is: TUS MARIPOSAS Primero sentí un cosquilleo, Una olvidada y agradable sensación; Y me pareció oír el leve aleteo, De coloridas mariposas en estado de ascensión. Cerré los ojos para verlas, Y eran más lindas que la más elevada expectación; Tanto tiempo pasé admirándolas, Que sin darme yo cuenta, Me puse en estado de meditación. Cuando abrí los ojos, seguían su ballet gracioso; Yo seguía mi ejercicio de contemplación; Se acercaron algunas a darme un beso, Y pasé al estado de levitación. Tan inesperado fue... Read review

Advantages: Operacion Triunfo
Disadvantages: Operacion Triunfo 3

...went quiet. After some nervous laughter by the previous ganadora, it was revealed that Ainhoa had won. At that moment, all the previous contestants ran to her from the audience for congratulations and Miguel Nandez was left in the middle of the stage only with the companionship of the host, and best friend from the house Elena Gadel. You might be wondering why I am writing about 2003's Operacion Triunfo. The one, which ended last year, didn't achieve the same status as the year before, and to be truthful, it sucked. Ainhoa released her debut single Aceptame Asi in November in 2003, but it didn't even manage to break top 20. Ainhoa released her second album 'Mi Tiempo Roto', but it didn't do very well. Unlike Ainhoa, most other contestants have had an easier ride. Beth, after coming 8th in Eurovision with Dime, recorded her album at Abbey... Read review

Advantages: Great singer, next album coming out in Britain!
Disadvantages: She left Operacion Triunfo in 14th place

.../10 6. I'm Not Your Girlfriend. Another Lucie Silvas song, but this time it is in English! Cristie's ability of English is very good, and it's nice to hear. This song still seems very dated, and the fact that a DJ spin appears every second ruins Cristie's attempt at R&B. 6/10 7. Se Que Estas (I know that you). My favourite of the album is the first Ballard. It is haunting, and Cristie attempts well to be Mariah Carey, her idol. She sings beautifully all the way through, and at the end, her voice climaxes bringing her ability to the full.10/10 8. No Hay Tiempo (There's No Time). Penned by the man who did her first single, No Quiero Sufrir, this song is the most pop Cristie gets. This was the third single, but it missed the Spanish top 40.The chorus is very catchy and the heavy electric guitars help a lot. 8/10 9. Puro Teatro (Pure Theatre... Read review
