You don't have to go to sea for this Mermaid.

Advantages: Good well cooked food and a vast choice
Disadvantages: The distance for us to travel, I would like it to be a bit closer to home

...THE MERMAID Although I have lived close to Wolverhampton for most of my life, it has only been over the past 3 years that I have visited The Mermaid in Wolverhampton and my parents lived literary 3 minutes away for over 20yrs. After my father died, with me working shifts; my mother and I often had lunch out either in Telford or in Wolverhampton during the week. My mother used to love steak baguettes or sandwiches with a serving of chips, which we have eaten here on our luncheons in sandwich form on thick crusty bread, red onion chutney, seasoned (this is means lightly salted with sea salt and pepper), and a small side salad. I have to say it was very impressive and filling. Moving on I was so impressed that we arranged to meet friends here, who lived on the other side of Wolverhampton, as The Mermaid was a half way point, this...

Fancy sharing your bath with a mermaid??

Advantages: fun toy for the bath
Disadvantages: none

...MY daughter is a big fan of Dora the Explorer so she was highly delighted when she received this Dora Swim and Splash Mermaid as a present from her nan on her fourth birthday. I was also very pleased because this is a bath toy and most of the bath toys we have, we have had since the girls were babies so they seem to have outgrown most. The toy is about 25 cm tall and although it has Dora's face, instead of legs she has a mermaid's tail. She has long black hair and a beautiful jewelled necklace around her neck. I'm sure that my daughter would be perfectly happy just to play with her in the bath as she is (because she thinks she is so pretty), even if she did nothing extra at all! But of course there is more to this toy because this is a 'swim and splash' mermaid, so as you would expect, Dora does actually swim - or I would say she has...

Fairies and Mermaids galore

Advantages: Lovely book for fairy and mermaid mad little people!
Disadvantages: None unless you don't like them!

...A lovely book for anyone who loves fairies and mermaids and wants to draw and paint them. This was a definite for little miss who seems to spend all her time drawing pictures of fish tailed ladies and those little flying ladies and girls. The book gets straight onto the descriptions of how to draw them, without any long forward or explanantion as to how the book should be used. After all, if you buy the book, you want to learn how to draw them not be told how to use the book! It is divided into two page spreads detailing the drawing or painting of diiferent types of mermaids and fairies, startin, naturally enough, with simple fairies. Other activities include Love Heart fairies, Rainy Day fairies, Fairy Paperchain, Mermaids' Tea party, Mermaid door sign. In all, there are 17 activites, so more than enough to keep little people...

The Little Mermaid

Advantages: A must see if you're there
Disadvantages: not much to look at

...I would love to visit all the capital cities of Europe, so naturally, last October, when I was given the opportunity to go to Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, I grabbed it with open hands! I have always loved Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales, so with Copenhagen once being his home, I was absolutely delighted to be going. The Little Mermaid was one of the first attractions we visited because we really wanted to see it and we were only there for four days. We didn't realise when we first set off but The Little Mermaid was quite a long distance from our hotel. It must have taken a good 45 minutes to walk there. (Granted, we probably weren't walking very fast, but all the same!). We walked along the edge of the river most of the way there expecting to see it every 5 minutes we walked! We took in the beautiful scenery as...

A Universal experience

Advantages: Great rides, lots of fun
Disadvantages: Prices

...Yet another stop on my tour of Florida's theme parks with three of my friends was Universal Studios. Universal is linked to Islands of Adventure and we did both parks in one day due to limited time, although I'll review them separately. LOCATION: Universal Studios is in Orlando, Florida. As with most Orlando attractions it is fairly well signposted. You just need to get onto the I4, the main road through Orlando, and it is signposted off this. There is a ridiculous amount of parking available. Make sure you remember which character and which number you are parked in otherwise you'll be searching for that rental car for hours! Each section is named after a Universal character such as Spiderman, the Cat in the Hat and ET. PRICES: This is a theme park in Orlando so don't be expecting a cheap day out! You can buy lots...

MARINA Mermaid aquarium kit.

Advantages: ..............An ideal starter aquarium..............
Disadvantages: ............Girly pink and only 17 Litres........

...My daughter choose this tank as her first starter fish tank, drawn to the girlyness and cuteness of it, unlike other tanks i have seen before it is simply targeted at girls! It is designed as an 'enchanting magical underwater world'. The kit comes complete with: ~ 29.5 x 19 x 32 cm square glass tank (17L). ~ Pink clear plastic feet and matching cover. ~ Elite mini internal filter (with venturi valve to add bubbles/oxygen and water movement)....... (in pale pink!). ~ Aqua plus 30ml water conditioner (to remove chlorine and harmful metals in tap water). ~ Cycle 30 ml biological supplement (to help the tank to cycle/filter to mature and reduce levels of ammonia/nitrate) ~ Nutrafin max flake food. ~ 1.5kg pink gravel. ~ Mermaid ornament (a Mermaid cuddling/swimming with a seahorse). ~ Comprehensive instruction guide...

University?

Advantages: location
Disadvantages: quality of teaching, University ranking, staff, culture

...I would not recommended this Uni, and would definitely think twice before spending or going into dept to get a degree from Westminster University. Getting the right degree from a good University these days is very important and Westminster University cannot provide it (again based on my experience). Below some general thoughts after attending business related degree from that University. I have graduated with business degree. Very low level of teaching. I have started similar degree outside the UK, where level of teaching in secondary school could be more intellectually challenging than attending majority of core modules throughout this degree. On top of that the attitude of tutors towards teaching, students is bad. Many of them (not all of them) are unenthusiastic, and with no experience (or qualities) of teaching in some...

Great Universal Is Littlewoods!!!!!

Advantages: price changes
Disadvantages: same clothes

...Despite my last order through the catalogues being a while back due to the appalling service provided by La Redoute I do still browse through them when the big heavy books lands on the doorstep. Last week that book was the Great Universal Spring Summer 08 edition allowing you until the 17th August 2008 to make your purchase. "Spread the cost with affordable payment options," screams the green circle of text on the lower left hand side of the page. Flicking through I am amazed at how expensive catalogue clothes have actually got compared to the same items in the high-street. Never the less I systematically fold over the corners of any page which shows an item I wish to purchase, but my bank balance refuses to allow, something I do with every catalogue, just in case someone else happens to flick through it and wish to buy me something...

Review of Great Universal

The Little-er Mermaid but doesnt know it!

Advantages: nice follow on
Disadvantages: not as good as the original

...Interestingly enough I have a plentiful supply of both filmed and cartoon films which relate to the sea, this is the one I intend to bored you with today! We all know the story of the Little Mermaid, Ariel who fell in love with Prince Eric and disobeying her father sought to live on the Land with him. This is true Disney tradition is the story of what happens next - around a year or so later Ariel and Eric have a daughter Melody. In keeping with their odd family history they take young Melody out to sea to be introduced to her Grandfather, who gives her a shell shaped locket. But this time the sister of original baddy Ursula, Morgana come to the surface and kidnaps the young Princess in order to get hold of the trident - and by association all the powers of the ocean. After this ploy fails Morgana vows to continue her quest to gain...
