L'Oréal Paris Volume Shocking mascara

Advantages: Good results.
Disadvantages: The price.

...After seeing the adevrtisement on T.V. for "L'Oréal Paris Volume Shocking mascara" and swayed by the claim of 12x the volume , the glamour and the hype....I bought it... This is a two-step mascara which consists of a base-coat and a top-coat. and claims to " provide the most explosive volume ever!.. At £10.99 it was quite expensive, but I thought it must be worth it. Later that evening with time to myself I decided to try it, sitting in front of the bathroom mirror with remover and wipes at the ready I opened the mascara which comes apart to reveal 2 separate applicators.. 1 brush.. 1 comb.. First, with the brush I applied the silvery coloured "lash defining base-coat" I found this very easy to use and it really did separate and define my lashes, Once dry I started to apply the "ultra volumising top-coat"~ This...

Advantages: no more queues at the post office
Disadvantages: cannot use credit card

...That old chestnut was coming around for payment again. Yes, the dreaded car tax. Queuing up at the post office with a thousand other people with masses of paperwork to sort through. Surely there is a better way to pay. The D V L A has finally arrived in the 21st century with ONLINE payments for car tax. It is unbelievably so easy to do. I just clicked on their website, which is well laid out and easy to read, went to the relevant heading and started the process. You will need to enter a code , which is found on the reminder form. Enter this in and all your details pop up. once you checked these are correct you continue to the next page. It tells you your car details and checks straight away on their database if your have any insurance and valid mot certificate. The downside to this is, if you have recently renewed or changed...

The Constant Gardener

Advantages: Excellent plot, superb acting, stunning location
Disadvantages: Emotionally draining

...the viewer, such as the effectiveness of the West's humanitarian action in Africa, the exploitation of the masses by profit hungry drug companies ("?right up there with arms dealers." - Dr. Lorbeer on pharmaceutical companies that donate out of date drugs to the disposable patients of Africa to gain tax breaks) and how far the British government will go to protect national commercial interests. There are so many subtle twists and turns to this movie, I was riveted to the end, and judging by the number of gasps and utterances so were the rest of the cinema-goers. The Constant Gardener is an absorbing, compelling film that lingers on the mind for days afterwards. Rating - 15 Length - 129 minutes For more information see theconstantgardener.com, although I found this a poorly designed and uninformative website. © 2005 V.L. Collyer...

It's Science Jim, But Not As We Know It!

Advantages: surprisingly entertaining, satisfyingly informative
Disadvantages: none

...speculations, and shows that there can be a happy synthesis between beliefs and science. I would recommend this generally for an adult readership, but the colourful pictures and some parts of the text could be useful tools for explaining scientific concepts to children. A Briefer History Of Time is certainly a book I shall read again. It just goes to show - you should never judge a book by its cover.
