Select a bargain

Advantages: Cheap good qualtiy clothing
Disadvantages: Could do with bigger stores

...dresses which i purchased are available for just £22.99 which is much less than i usually pay for this sort of item from my normal fave shop river island. The dresses are made from good quality cotton and each has different sequin and beading details on it which look great, unfortunately these details are pretty fragile so the items tend to be handwash only, i find this a little inconvenient and I normally hate this because it usually takes things youve handwashed ages to dry as they cant be put through a spin cycle but as the dresses are all made from light weight cotton they dry really quickly. VALUE FOR MONEY Select offers excellent value for money whilst at the same time offering key fashion pieces which certainly do not look low quality, they also wash really well and last as they are made from good quality materials they do not look...

Time for me to call Time

Advantages: Illustrated topical serious current affairs articles
Disadvantages: US voice, very little "feel-good" factor

...I would never have chosen to subscribe to Time Magazine, but it happened like this: PC Plus magazine ran a promotion for a new Business magazine that sounded interesting so I signed up for it. As often happens with new publications, it flopped after a few editions. As ?compensation? I was provided with a free 3-month subscription to Time which I have enjoyed since. As most of you will be aware, Time Magazine is widely available on newsstands. It?s characterized by a cover with a red border and ?TIME? written in bold letters about 2? high. ?Enjoyed? is perhaps the wrong word to use in the above context. Events in the Middle East and Iraq have so dominated current political and business affairs over the past few months that the material covered has had very little associated feel-good factor. Although the regular format...

Cadburys Christmas Selection Boxes

Advantages: Here we go chocolate again
Disadvantages: overpriced

...Well this one had to be a bit on the festive side and today I went to bingo and won £50 and a mountain of selection boxes. Now these are a treat as I do not normally buy them now as all my friends kids are all grown up, but secretly I do like to get one or two. The Cadburys 99p section box is the one I am going to write about, however you can get larger ones that go up to around £5 and if you look out for the £2.99 ones you can normally buy two for a £5. Bargain eh, well lets take a look. The Packing = A very pretty tin foiled packet measuring around 12 inches by 8 inches. The writing is in gold and says Cadbury and in red it has selection. On the far right is a little mouse in a christmas stocking fast asleep on a christmas tree next to a blue bauble. It also shows you the contents on the front. On the back...

shopping at select

Advantages: value for money
Disadvantages: gets a bit crowded

...I was saying to my best friend that we need some good clothes shops for women in our area. We live in a small town with not a great variety of shops, the one store we usually went to was peacocks but i think they have started to go down hill a little bit,there clothes tend to look cheap. To our suprise the following week a new shop was to open and of course it was select , i was so excited i love to shop and it was local what more could i ask for. Opening day of select we dived in to the shop and i had gone to heaven not only were the clothes execellent value for money , they were execellent quality too,and they had a openning day sale( bliss ) The overall layout of the shop was good but a little bit crowded,as i had my son in his pushchair i found he grabbed quite a few clothes from the rails(a bit emmbarassing when he is trailing...

Select your favourite clothes at a low price

Advantages: Good clothes for the prices
Disadvantages: The rails and the changing rooms

...As I walk along the busy highstreet of Weston-super-Mare, Select cathes my eye with the big sale signs in the window. I instantly think ahhh plenty of bargins so I find myself trying to weave myself though the crowds and eventually I have reached the shop. I'm standing in the doorway of Select scanning the shop with my eyes deciding in which direction to head. The shop looks crammed with people and the clothes rails look quite close together so the layout to me isn't very pleasing. Oh well, I think to myself shall I risk getting squashed or shall I leave the gorgeous jeans to my right. Of course the first option sounds good so I take a deep breath and squeeze myself over to the jeans. After saying sorry for accidently pushing a few of the customers, I'm finally infront of the jeans. There are about 5 or 6 different kinds and they...

Select and Protect Home Insurance

Advantages: First class service
Disadvantages: Need to use Google to find one of their agents call back service.

.... Its the first time i have any dealings with insurance companies and can only say that i was very impressed. No hesitation in recommending them, although they wont deal direct with the public, only through their brokers and agents. this is not a problem though, as some of their agents have websites that offer a "call back" service, and a search in Google will no doubt turn one up. P.S. just Googles Select and Protect and found the call back service within a few clicks. Good luck. Trevor Lawrence...

A Sign Of The Times

Advantages: Thought provoking
Disadvantages: A lot to digest

...Now then, I want to be honest with you. I am not that intelligent. I am not the brightest star in the intellectual galaxy. I am not an all knowing beaming beacon of all intelligence; in fact my mathematical skills are so rudimentary I could sit there and just break down in tears when faced with any sort of number orientated problem or equation. If this is so then why on earth do I read The Times? Contrary to popular belief, The Times isn't the most taxing and difficult papers to grasp. Granted, it is exceptionally well written, and you do often find yourself in awe at the extent of the vocabulary of certain commentators within the paper. Some analysis does read like stereo instructions but not unlike reading basic French, you will start to get the point of a certain article - and it fills you with a sense of achievement when you...

JBL On Time

Advantages: Great sound, Great looks
Disadvantages: No remote control

...The JBL On Time is a stylish, high performance iPod dock, RDS radio and alarm clock, available in black or white finish. It's one of the more expensive iPod docks on the market, but as with most things, you get what you pay for and the sound quality is FAR superior to cheaper alternatives (I also own an older Intempo iPod dock which was much cheaper but the sound quality is awful). JBL are specialists in audio and it shows, the "Halo acoustics" system produces a rich, full sound from any direction and is more than enough for a bedroom or small to mid-sized living room. Before buying it, I'd only heard it inside a large, noisy department store and the sound didn't completely convince me, but I took the risk and bought one. After trying it at home, I'm more than happy with both the volume, and the quality of the sound. My i...

Timmy Time!

Advantages: gr8 new show
Disadvantages: none

...Timmy Time............. Timmy Time is a new programme that is aired on the cbeebies channel. It is shown at 9 am and repeated again later in the afternoon and is so enjoyable Jack doesn't mind watching it over and over again. It is from the makers of the well known Shaun the sheep but Timmy is a younger lamb who attends nursery school with all his small animal friends. He has a friend who is a pig, an owl, another lamb a cat and a hedgehog. There are no words in the programme but the animals make the associated noise such as the pig snorts a lot in the right places giving you an idea of what would be said if they were talking. The stories are easy to follow and in my opinion doesn't need any words. The theme tune is very catchy just as the Shaun the sheep one was and Jack goes mad when it comes on as it is a show that...

The Time Traveller's Wife

Advantages: beautiful story, moving
Disadvantages: none

...My husband bought himself Audrey Niffenegger?s The Time Traveller?s Wife as he is a sci-fi fan. He read the book and put it on the bookshelf. After a few weeks I read a few reviews on it and discovered that we have this book so I started reading it. It was a very engaging reading I could hardly put the book down. When we heard that there will be a film based on this exciting and brilliant novel we decided to go together to the cinema to watch it. Well, I had to wait a lot until I could really watch it but it was worth waiting for it. The Time Traveller?s Wife was planned for a fall 2008 release but it was delayed until August 2009. The reason of the delay was that they had to do a reshoot and they had to wait for the meadow to look the same again and funny but for Eric Bana?s hair to grow out again. He had a role in Star Trek where he...
