Advantages: Site is easy to navigate, frequently updated
Disadvantages: There are not enough free things in the world

...After recently writing an opinion on freeinuk, I decided to look back at my old opinion of 2001freebies.co.uk. I was shocked to find how rubbish my opinions were - so I have decided to make this one better as 2001freebies.co.uk recently became netfreestuff.co.uk and it really is a top class freebies site. When I first started hunting for freebies, I decided to look up freebies on the Internet and was disappointed to find that most were delivered to the US only. I then found this site that claimed to be for UK freebie hunters only! It was, and today I still am receiving loads of amazing things that are sometimes quite good! I have received many different kinds of things, shampoo, food, booklets, recipes, vouchers, cleaning products (full sized!) and even a briquette of money shredded in the US – but it did take a month to arrive! I... Read review

Advantages: Earn money and find the best prices.
Disadvantages: Not much choice as rewards.

...Blartly is supposedly the 'UK's No.1 Bargain & Giveaway Site' but, until last week I'd never heard of it. I found it through a link on a freebie site and was tempted to have a look. It was launched in June 2000 and is run in the UK by a company called 'Promo Tech'. Reportedly it has between 3500-5000 hits per day with up to 500 new registered users per day. When I entered the site, after a quick browse, I went straight to the 'About Blartly' section to find out what usefulness it provided. There I found that Blartly is a partner site to Dooyoo.co.uk (and probably ipoints.co.uk) but little else. Taking the plunge I decided to sign-up, this was painless. I just entered a username, password, address etc..and was directed to the 'Home Page'. From here there are many options. You can set up a E.Mail account if you need a spare one, you... Read review

Advantages: New name and Website address for Genie.co.uk
Disadvantages: Just when you get used to a name they change the name.

...The website genie.co.uk has changed it’s name to O2.co.uk This has happened due to BT Cellnet (Old mobile part of British Telecom) changing it’s name to O2 after moving away from BT. O2 is formed from five mobile companies across Europe, and Genie, the mobile internet portal. This opinion is mainly covers sending text messages via 02.co.uk The services are still very good. The screen layout and colours look a lot better now. Speed of the website is still good. Before you can send text message you will need to login. You will be given a username and password to login to access the services. Registration is free and only takes a few minutes. Sending text messages is free. Each text message can be upto 115 characters to any UK digital mobile phone. When you send a message on average it takes 8 minutes... Read review

Advantages: Saves queuing and one can buy one's sweets and icecream from Tesco.
Disadvantages: Mucho blacko and no Opera.

...Odious UK, that's what I like to call it. I'm not a great fan of the multiplex cinema with its nasty, garishly lit carpeted corridors and its across-the-pond hard sell style. I like the cinema in Sidmouth where my parents-in-law go; it's so much more civilized with its circle and its comfy seats with the table between them where the nice ladies with tea and coffee can deposit your tray. It's cheaper than our local Odious too. Still, there are advantages to a multiplex: a wide variety of films are shown at a wide variety of times so you're almost certain to be able to see what you want almost whenever you want. Odious UK round our way is very popular, especially at times when the latest "big" films are showing and especially when that "big" film attracts children. It's bedlam up there. You have to queue big for tickets, then equally... Read review

Advantages: A gathering of wonderful golden oldies.
Disadvantages: Let's face it, these are all repeats.

...UK Gold is a treasure, it really is. Where else can you go to find those Dr Who?, Blakes’ 7, Blackadder, Red Dwarf and other gems like those? The answer is simple: no where else. UK Gold is not even restricted to just BBC golden oldies, either. Faulty Towers? You’ll find that here as well. People often complain that there’s nothing on TV and whine that the quality of shows has gone down hill. It amazes me that the very same people don’t bother to check out UK Gold. Sure, you might have seen the series before but I’m willing to bet that there might be some episodes that you missed! Another bonus in UK Gold is that they’ll play omnibus episodes of popular shows. You can, in effect, settle down with your bottle of irn-bru and watch an entire story of Dr Who? Or watch The Bill until you’re fed up of police uniforms. The UK set... Read review
