The Spectacular World of Barenaked Ladies!

Advantages: A fantastic band and a brilliant album!
Disadvantages: Not everyone will like every track.

...Never one to shy away from a challenge, I've decided it's about time I jumped in feet first into the music category. So without further ado, I'd like to welcome you to the quirky, fantastical world of the Barenaked Ladies. About the Band Barenaked Ladies are a Canadian alternative rock band, renowned for their comedic lyrics, humorous rapping and general quirky take on songs. The band began as a duo with founding members Ed Robertson and Steven Page, playing their first live gig on October 1st, 1988. They then recruited more members and released their first full album, Gordon, in 1992, quickly achieving success in Canada. More albums followed and the popularity of the Barenaked Ladies increased. Even I graced them with my presence at a live performance at V2000, which is, of course, a recognized achievement amongst many...

Three Men and a Little Lady

Advantages: Funny, English scenes
Disadvantages: None

...Three Men and a Little Lady Last time we saw Mary she was a cute little baby and her mother had just decided to stay in New York with Mary's three daddies, Peter, Michael and Jack, instead of moving back to England. Peter, Michael and Jack, Jack being MAry's real father, had grown very attached to Mary, despite their previous bachelor lifestyles and couldn't imagine thier lives without her. Fast forward 5 years and the guys and Mary's mother Sylvia have got their routine down perfectly. They all take her out for a walk, they have a special rap they sing her as a bed time song and life is good. However, we all know that when things are going well and life is settled and content, generally something happens to stir things up. The thing is Edward, Sylvia's fiancee and he wants to marry Sylvia and take her and Mary back to England...

Find The Lady

Advantages: Could win you a few bob
Disadvantages: Could lose you a few bob

...Just for a change Find The Lady, sometimes known as Queenie, is not based on the Whist principle but on the Newmarket principle. A game for up to six players it is best played for tokens, matches or money where two players can win the kitty. This is not a plug for you to visit my web site nor is it the place to explain how the game is played but I know a place where you can find out how to do that and it doesn't cost anything. Go to my web site at:- http://www.jambutty17.freeserve.co.uk Knock on my front door and from the bookshelf in my front room pick the first book on the left on the second shelf. The light blue one half hidden by the table top. You could of course go to your local library and search the reference section for books on card games but I don't think that you will find this game in any...

Review of Find the Lady

The Lady Vanishes - Or Does She?

Advantages: An enjoyable Hitchcock thriller with a fair bit of comedy
Disadvantages: Some might find it dated

...The Lady Vanishes is an Alfred Hitchcock thriller released in 1938. In a fictional Central European country just prior to World War II a handful of British people are delayed overnight due to an avalanche. As their home bound train not due to leave until the morning; we get to see these travellers in an over booked hotel trying to get food and sleep against the odds. Iris is on her way home to get married and becomes acquainted with the pleasant elderly Miss Froy during the evening at the hotel. Their acquaintance is due to a mutual complaint about a very noisy guest above their rooms who turns out to be the rather annoying Gilbert, a musician (or rather a musicologist). On the train the following day Iris ends up sharing a compartment with Miss Froy and a handful with others. Waking up after a brief nap, she finds that Miss Froy...

The Lady is BLACK

Advantages: Great fun
Disadvantages: Can get a bit personnel

...This game as you can probably imagine has many variations to it's name, most being somewhat vulgar so we shall quickly digress. The game rules are very simple but the playing can be as complicated as you like, tactics can very often land you in deep **** or alternately they can scoop you the lot. I first started to play this whilst in the Army and we played for 1p a point, just to make it a bit more interesting. The object of the game is similar to trumps and bridge except in this instance certain cards MUST be avoided. These cards are the complete suit of hearts and the Queen of Spades ( The Lady ). Each card is worth it's face value with all face cards being valued at 10 points. The Queen being the card you should avoid most is worth a whopping 50 points. The cards are dealt between all players each getting an equal amount...

Review of Chase the Lady

Our Lady Peace not on fire yet

Advantages: OLP with a new album is always good, Raine's voice, More musical freedom
Disadvantages: Sounds like their missing some of the magic of their really early stuff

...Having been a long time Our Lady Peace fan I was quite surprised when I saw Burn Burn available for download on Amazon, having never actually even known of it's existence until I saw it (shows what a great fan I am) I placed it in my virtual trolley and purchased it without reading anything about it. In fact despite their being samples of each track on the site I decided that Canadians were good enough and I was a big enough fan to just go and get it blind. Our Lady Peace have been around for a little over a decade now, and probably scored their biggest hit with a non-album track (well originally it was non-album) called ?Whatever?, it was better known as Chris Benoit's entrance music when he was in the wwf/wwe before his death. Though what is perhaps lesser know (out side of North America) is that they are an incredibly strong band...

Review of Burn Burn - Our Lady Peace

I said 'Lady' not 'Lake'

Advantages: A wonderful comedy with all the wit of Wilde.
Disadvantages: Rather outdated now

...Women have a wonderful instinct about things. They can discover everything except the obvious.Oscar Wilde Lady Windermere's Fan If you read any of my other book reviews you would find it hard to believe that I have studied English Literature upto A level standard ( even obtaining a grade A) as I do read an awful lot of easy reading books, chick-lit etc., but every now and then I do dig out the odd classic to re-read. I have always liked Oscar WIlde's plays finding them very humerous. "OSCAR WILDE" Born Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde (16 October 1854 ? 30 November 1900) he was Irish playwright, poet . He also wroye a lot of short stories and one novel, and is most famous ( in the literary world) for his humour. Below are some of his famous quotes: #America had often been discovered before...

Review of Lady Windermere's Fan - Oscar Wilde

These Ladies have got balls!

Advantages: Great characters, lovely story, a different kind of sports film.
Disadvantages: subtitles... thats about it.

...Iron Ladies made a brief sojourn to UK arthouse cinemas back in the early part of the 21st century. Riding on the wave of critical acclaim that 'Tears of the Black Tiger', the first ever Thai film to get released over here, received Iron Ladies became a minor hit on the specialised circuit. This success was well deserved as Iron Ladies is a genuinely wonderful entry into the sports comedy genre of films and has the added advantage of being based on a true story. The Iron Ladies is the nickname given to a volleyball team made almost entirely of gay, transvestite or transsexual men who band together in the face of prejudice from other players. The movie begins with a local volleyball team going through tryouts for the upcoming local championships. The coach is picking the players he wants for his team and the long haired Chai, who...

Review of The Iron Ladies (DVD)

A Solitary True Lady

Advantages: Set in a fascinating period of history, excellent main character
Disadvantages: Not my favourite writing style, minor characters aren't so good

...The purpose of historical fiction is not only to bring the past to life and explore historical issues, but to speculate on the past - to ask "what if...?" Alison Weir is probably best-known as an historian, although her novel Innocent Traitor was very successful. She has written several non-fiction historical texts. The Lady Elizabeth focuses on the early life of Elizabeth I, prior to her becoming queen. If you're expecting completely dry, factual fiction then you will be disappointed - try reading text books instead - Weir revels in her role as a novelist and, although most of this book is based on fact, doesn't shy away from conjecture. The book opens in 1536, which Tudor buffs will recognize as the year that Anne Boleyn, Elizabeth's mother, was beheaded. The three-year-old beloved princess Elizabeth becomes a bastard overnight...
