Review of Olympic Games Beijing 2008: Which country will win the most medals?

Grand Union

Advantages: lovely staff, many facilities, spacious rooms
Disadvantages: expensive

...impossible to look out over Ljubljana without catching a glimpse of the gorgeous castle perched prominently on the hill. The Ljubljanica River flows elegantly down through the city, passing the cobbled streets and many cafes and restaurants. During my time in Slovenia I stayed at the beautiful, elegant Grand Union Hotel. I believe that my holiday was made a lot better due to my stay at the hotel. ***GRAND UNION HOTEL*** The Grand Union Hotel is a four start hotel situated in the centre of Slovenia. The hotel is split into two parts the business part and executive part. There are over 300 rooms in total so it is fairly small and quiet. I was never kept up by late night parties or noisy neighbours. We stayed at the hotel on its 100 year anniversary in 2005 and were very impressed with the service we received. Famous people such as Bill Clinton...

Review of Grand Hotel Union Business, Ljubljana

Jack Johns... zzzzzz....

Advantages: Unbelievably chilled out
Disadvantages: Little samey but only if your being picky

...Jack Johnson is an Acoustic guitarist and songwriter born in Hawaii. This is his third album and is a characteristically mellow offering and should appeal to anyone who knows how to chill out. The album is packaged in a nice cardboard case which is a yellow background and a silhouette of a tree with a lone guitarist resting against it. This guy is seriously laid back. his album has 15 tracks but also comes with a bonus track when bought in the UK. A lot of people who have read my reviews will tend to like something completely different but I don't think many people will dislike JJ. My only complaint is that he's TOO chilled. The Album [Track 1 - Better Together] A floating acoustic riff drifts through the beginning of this track and the vocals make it practically feel like a lullaby. The lyrics are positive...

Review of In Between Dreams - Jack Johnson

Union City Blues!

Advantages: It's brave and a good introduction to Erasure
Disadvantages: It's pointless if you already know the band

...The new album by Erasure 'Union Street'(their 14th!) is a bit of an enigma, which makes me wonder if the duo have finally run out of ideas, or didn't want to waste them on us. However for the uninitiated this acoustic (yes pop-pickers you heard me correctly 'ACOUSTIC') album strips down the songs to their bare bones and lets out some of the soul as a sample of what they are capable of. Just as the band had recaptured some of the form of its 90s heyday with Erasure's return to electro pop heaven, ('Nightbird') Vince Clark and Andy Bell have gone all acoustic on us, just as the Pet Shop Boys recently did, before going back to their synths. Here is a collection of b-sides and album tracks, redone with 'real' instruments and credible musicians - and way too much slide-guitar. (The name 'Union Street' is the name of the Brooklyn...

Review of Union Street - Erasure

All about Jack

Advantages: wonderfuul dogs, caring attentive and easy to care for
Disadvantages: Some can be nasty if not trained right

...We inherited Jack about 10 years ago he was kept in a shed because the owner?s daughter preferred his brothers to him! Paul my boyfriend swapped him for some tarmac (the owner was a farmer and its quite common for them to need tarmac). Paul took him home and he lived with him and his mum for a few years until we got our own house and he?s been with us ever since. About the Jack Russell breed ----------------------------------- The founder of the breed was Parson John (Jack) Russell. Who bred these great dogs in the nineteenth century. This terrier is supposed to have originally been crossed with a Devon hunt terrier. The breed varies in size and coat texture, I know some really skinny dogs but our Jack is a hefty 11kg! The recommended weight is between 5-8kg (oops!) Jack is a smooth coat but some terriers have a rough coat...

Review of Jack Russell Terrier

Adopting Jake the Jack Russell

Advantages: Loving, company, exercise for me!
Disadvantages: Barking at other dogs

...We took over a two year old Jack Russell a month ago, from some friends who were moving house and couldn't take him with them. My husband and kids had been campaigning to have a dog for several years, but I wasn't keen as I knew that I would end up being the one doing all the walks etc and didn't think I could cope with the extra work. However, I'd gradually come around to the idea and decided that a Jack would be the breed that I'd most likely risk, as they were the only type of dog that I'd had experience looking after, as we used to dog-sit Nipper the Jack for my in-laws when they went on holiday. So when our friends asked for anyone who could give Jake a home at short notice, we decided to go & meet him, and consequently brought him home. The first night he was here, he slept in our bed, between us, initially with his head on mine...

Review of Jack Russell Terrier

Jack and Sarah

Advantages: Good balance of comedy and drama, good performances, quirky.
Disadvantages: Horrid soundtrack, Samantha Mathis.

...The only reason I had a watch of Jack and Sarah was the constant comments I kept reading about how Kevin Smith's Jersey Girl was little more than a remake of it. While there are certainly some similar plot points, on the whole though I would say that the two are entirely different. The best part though was finding a nice little film that I probably would have missed otherwise. Walking the line between drama and comedy is not an easy one for any film. If you're trying to push serious themes, it becomes difficult to crack jokes at the same time. Likewise, a dramatic event in a comedic film can be a very jarring experience that works against the film. I'm glad to say though that Jack and Sarah balances between the two very steadily, only stumbling from time to time. The film focuses on Jack (Richard E Grant), a London lawyer who...

Review of Jack And Sarah (DVD)

Please join a union and get involved.

Advantages: Sense of satisfaction. Helping others. Good training.
Disadvantages: No pay. Frustrating occasionally.

...--- That's all right for you to say, but I can't be bothered. --- I became a UNISON rep just over a year ago and have thoroughly enjoyed it since then, despite the extra work involved. If you are not a rep, you will not be kept aware of what is going on in the union, or have the ability to put your point of view across. --Why should I join then?-- Basically, being in a union gives us the opportunity to use our collective power against the wishes of management to push us ever harder in the quest for more profits / productivity. Unions ultimately have the power to withdraw workers' labour and go on strike. This is very much a last resort. Joining a union is a bit like an insurance policy. Most of the time you will not need it, but when push comes to shove and you are threatened with redundancy or a pay cut, then the union is...

Review of Trade Union Representative

Jack and Jamie!

Advantages: looks good, cheap
Disadvantages: can be hard to find

...I love Doctor Who, it's such an amazing show! It is a TV programme, aired on the BBC, about a Timelord named the Doctor (a Timelord travels around the universe saving the innocent from the evil creatures!). Doctor Who has been on and off our screens for many years, and has recently reappeared back in 2005 with the 9th Doctor played by Chris Eccleston. In this first series, we had a double episode, 'The Empty Child' and 'The Doctor Dances'. These episodes took us back to World War Two during the Blitz, when the Doctor takes his companion Rose (Billie Piper) back to London. Theyre, Rose meets a Time Agent called Captain Jack. Meanwhile, the Doctor has to try and solve a mystery - who is the little boy with the gas mask who keeps asking for his mummy? This little boy is also known as the Empty Child. The BBC have produced many 5" figures...

Review of Character Options Doctor Who Captain Jack and the Empty Child Figures

<3 Jack!

Advantages: looks good, can be cheap now
Disadvantages: /

...I love Doctor Who. I'll admit my knowedge of the original series is quite weak, but you can ask me anything about the 21st Century series' and I can rattle off a fair bit to you! So what is it anyway? Well Doctor Who is a sci-fi family show about a Time Lord named the Doctor. He travels around the galaxies through time and space in his blue box known as the Tardis (Time and Relative Dimension in Space), saving the innocent from the evil. Sometimes he travels alone though more often than not it is with a companion. One of his companions, as sort of tag along, is Captain Jack Harkness, who we met in Series One, and then again in Series 3 and 4. He is a Time Agent, so he knowns about alien tech and suchlike. He fell for the gorgeous Rose Tyler (Billie Piper) and although he and the Doctor did not get along too greatly, they soon became...
