Advantages: Plenty of fun to be had
Disadvantages: Lengthy and at times alienating

...For those unfortunate enough to have never heard of Gogol Bordello, let me introduce you. Formed on the Lower East Side of New York back in 1999, the self proclaimed ‘gypsy punk’ band are made up of migrants from Eastern Europe. They play wild gypsy music with an urgency and passion likeable to The Clash. Their amazing energy is best heard live, where singer Eugene Hutz takes every opportunity to surf his bass drum over the crowd. They are certainly not the ‘new kids on the block’, Super Taranta! being their fifth studio album. The band ethic is that they want to bring gypsy music to the westernised world, and it is not a futile cause after their recent success with album Underdog World Strike and the song for which they are best known, Start Wearing Purple. Ultimate is the fitting title track, and really encompasses the bands’ live... Read review

Advantages: they have a great range of products
Disadvantages: untrained piercings

...claires accessories, was known as bow n bangles years ago is the ultimate shop for accessories and evry young girls dream. stores full of sparkly fluffy girly must have accessoires anything from a hair clip to a fluffy pen and notepad. this shop also does ear piercing, although i wouldnt get my ears pierced there. a friend of mine use to work there for a while after she left school and within two weeks of her working there she was piercing ears and she told me that she didnt have hardly any training, just the basics. this made me feel very worried about getting piercings at the store. but there will be obviously trained and experienced staff working in these stores but i felt aware that there wsnt much training involved for new members of staff. but apart from that they have a wide range of a girls accessories for all ages....

Advantages: It rules!!!
Disadvantages: It's not hi-tech

...Okay, forget the hi-tech, fancy, new-fangled games consoles of today. The machine to use is the Super Nintendo. And the game to play on it is none other than Super Mario World. You face perils from up-right turtles, flying sharks and a whole array of almost cute little bad guys as you battle through the levels finding shortcuts and secret levels to reach the ultimate target, Bowser's castle. Yoshi, your friendly dinosaur pal comes along on the journey with you to rescue his friends. It may not have the best graphics in the world, but it's probably the most fun game I know, and isn't that the important thing? Yes, this game ranks top for enjoyment levels!... Read review

Advantages: comfortable, convenient, allows you to swim
Disadvantages: risks of TSS

...designs come in different absorbencies, which I will explain in more detail later. All tampax tampons are made from cotton and/or rayon which expands once inside you to fit the shape of your body. Tampons have a cotton string to aid removal. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What types are there? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tampax Compak – these are a relatively new tampax design, and are designed for ultimate discretion. The applicator is retractable so that the packaged size of the tampon is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. Tampax compak come in 4 different absorbencies; compak lites (for a pretty light flow), compak regular (for light to medium flow), compak super (for a relatively heavy flow) and compak super plus (for a very heavy flow). The Compak tampax are available in boxes of 16 or a multipack. Tampax Applicator... Read review

Advantages: a must have collection
Disadvantages: for clash nutters only I think

...this is a collection of their B-sides and it suprised me because most of the songs are good enough to feature on their albums. The songs at the start really rock 1977 in particular, then towards the middle they change pace prefering to mix dub versions of the singles but I found these very good aswell especially Robber Dub, a dub version of bank robber and Mustapha Dance is a very funky re-mix of Rock the Casbah. This album is very much for a hardcore clash fan who has got all the proper albums and is gagging for more since they split up. The story of the clash isnt enough but on Super Black market every track was new to my ears as the album goes on your can definatley hear the change in style from punk to ska.... Read review

Advantages: 100+ super heroes, good gameplay and graphics, lots of variety.
Disadvantages: some voice actors don't sound authentic, none others really

...Marvel Ultimate Alliance is a sort of team-based RPG type game where you put together your own super hero team of 4 super heroes, out of a selection of more than 100 Marvel super heroes, like the X-men Legends games, except the whole Marvel universe, not just the X-Men. Story - The basic story of this game is that Doctor Doom has put together a group of super villains called the Masters Of Evil. They attack Nick Fury's hellicarrier and Doom demands that he surrenders, or he shall destroy the hellicarrier. As expected Fury challenges Doom and calls for all "meta humans" to report, Thor teleports him, Spider-man, Wolverine and Captain America to the hellicarrier and they push back the attacking force. The rest of the game is basically your team and Nick Fury trying to stop the Masters of Evil, basic really. Classic super hero type story... Read review

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...Superman III is by far the funniest film of the Superman series. This is good because the actual story line is not too brilliant. Richard Pryor, as he is in all of his films, is hilarious as the computer expert who sets up the ultimate computer to cause devastation to the earth and to Superman. The two highlights for me are Richard Pryor ski-ing down a slope off the side of a skyscraper and down onto the city street’s; and the fight between the good Clark Kent and the evil Superman at a car scrap yard after Superman is exposed to Kryptonite....

Advantages: cheap but good
Disadvantages: none

...i bought this personnel stereo for my daughter from index £14.99 which is quite a reasonable price especially as it includes a radio also plus this particular one has got a super bass fitted as a bonus it wasnt what we expected as it looks nothing lkie the one in the book but it does look alot better with its blue screen it looks quite neat. I must admit ive heard some cheap stereos and they sound complete rubbish but this one has quite a nice clear sound and good adjustable volume plus the extra bass it has a good all round sound. The ear phones that come with it are very comfortable and have an ear guard system with inner ear phones, It needs 2 x aa batteries to run it and they should last up to 18 hrs but if you are just using the radio maybe even longer i would definetly recommend this to anyone wanted to buy there kids a cheap...

Advantages: Fantastic first XI
Disadvantages: No real strength in depth

...Sup---er Su--per Leeds There is no doubting that Leeds are a quality outfit, and as a life long Leeds fan I can't wait for the new season to start. Viduka seems a great buy - but we are going to lose him with Kewell at a vital point of the season. Dacourt - £7million? He looks good but ultimately is a combative midfield player - its not as if we have a shortage of those at Leeds at the moment. Will we cope with pressures of the Champions league? Naturally we have to get through the qulaifying stages first against the Germans before we can really start worrying about that. But lets say we do a few injuries to key palyers and we are shafted - we don't have the strength in depth - yes we bought 2 good players but we also let a few decent squad players go (Hopkin, Haaland, Hiden - does O'Leary dislike players beginning with H?!) who...

Advantages: looks great
Disadvantages: incy bit painful

..., or a previous stretching has been unsuccessful, try taking a long hot shower before hand. 1)Wipe ear with antiseptic wipe 2)Simply slide the taper straight through your ear, for a second it might be painful but bearable, pretty much the same as getting your ears pierced for the first time. 3)Once you get to the end of the taper, place your jewellery up against the end so it looks like an extension of the taper, and push the taper the rest of the way through with the jewellery. 4)Wipe ear with antiseptic wipe Your ear will feel like its burning for the next couple of hours or so and may appear slightly red, but that's normal. If your ears are extremely sore or bleeding it means you have stretched too quickly! To be safe, take out the jewellery and replace with the previous. Treat it the same as a new stretch (wiping with tea tree oil... Read review
