Advantages: outstanding players
Disadvantages: they play in the middle of the night, and so far away

...this side is the best team in world rugby at the moment. the new back row and skipper have shored up a questionable area of the team, giving a grit and solidity to the region thought to have cost the kiwis the last world cup. the backs are out of this world with lomu, umaga and cullen unsurpassed as a back three anywhere in the world. in the coming tri nations, the boks don't appear to stand a chance, looking weak in recent games, and the wallabies, although the world champs, have been run close by the pumas and the boks in the past couple of weeks. with the all blacks on the rampage, set out add the tri nations title to the trophy cabinet, watch out the rest of the world. england may have won in south africa but that is a different prospect to the all blacks in their back yard....

Advantages: Good service for first time PC buyers
Disadvantages: Expensive compared to other retailers

...I am a great disbeliever in PC World. The company found a niche in the computing world, and their customers are a very select group. PC World is aimed at people with absolutely no idea about computers - the sort of people that say 'Oh, I hate computers!', when they run most of the worlds Banks, Airlines, etc. PC World play on their ignorance by offering package deals which include software and all ancillaries. Although this would seem a good way to get into computers, it is also expensive. PC World charge a lot more for their products than a lot of other places. Looking at a copy of 'Micro Mart' or a similar magazine will show you that there are companies that do similar parts and services at much lower prices. Sometimes, people are drawn to PC World by there big name. PC World is all over the country, and so first-time PC buyers... Read review

Advantages: I's probably one of the best poems i've written
Disadvantages: sorry if you don't like the rhyming

...The sea is large the sea is blue A golden line runs clearly through he ripples on the surface spread The world of the sea has gone to bed In this strange and wonderous sea Away from the world of you and me Another world also thrives A world full of wonderful lives. For deep below the sea of blue Creatures are living, old and new They swim around their underwater world Different shades of blue unfurled From fish to crab, from gillls to fins The world below is full of grins For no creature knows of greed or sin The creatures are happy and don't make a din The sharks have teeth like little swords They to this world are the respected lords The creatures fear them but have found If they stay away at lunchtime they'll be safe and sound The fish are beautiful and quite small A thousand could be fitted into a hall The crabs ae silent but quite...

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...Sri Lanka were the cricket world champions much to the surprise of the rest of the world in 1996. They were a surprise upset winner. They however fell down in the 2000 world Championships, where they were knocked out in the first round. This was due to a build up of arrogance in the captaincy. This was solved with the removal of the then captain Arjuna Ranatunga. After this they semmed to regain their edge when they defeated the world champions Australia in a triangular tournament with Australia and Pakistan (The two world cup championship finalists)....

Advantages: You get to find out what is going on in Redneck Ville USA
Disadvantages: You get to find out what is going on in Redneck Ville USA

...CNN World View is a joke; the CNN world is an insult. CNN is an American show that airs internationally. Fine, I have no problems with that. When I want to watch a story that might be unfolding in America then I might tune to CNN… but there seems to be little point when I have BBC24. I’ll accept that because CNN is made by Americans for Americans that it is allowed to have a heavy American bias. I am sure both Sky News and BBC24 News normally have a strong British bias. There is an important exception though. When either Sky News or BBC24 cut to a ‘World’ feature they will show you reports from around the World; riots in the Jakarta or the health of the current Japanese Prime Minster, for example. When CNN tries to do their World View feature they’ll tell you about a small company in some outback area of America that produces bottles... Read review

Advantages: Safe air travel with friendly service
Disadvantages: You pay for what you get

...I feel safer on British Airways as I know that their pilots are amongst the most skilful in the world. As a student hoping to fly their jets, I know exactly how hard it is to qualify as a BA captain. This should reassure those who are worried about airline safety. The service itself on BA is world-class. The have the largest fleet of 747-400 aircraft in the world and are heavily investing in the new 777 aircraft. The new flat beds in business class puts them as world leaders in business class air travel. The cabin crew are also amongst the best in the world - smiles and efficient, kind service very much the order of the day on the flights I have been on. So I would recommend BA to all travellers from the budget trekkers to the very rich. An excellent all-round service guaranteed... Read review

Advantages: everyone who has sky can watch it as it is free
Disadvantages: none

...CNN is a news channel that is in my view excellent. It covers the world news so well and at the same time it has top journalist working for it. My favourite news broadcaster is Riz Khan, his show called 'Questions and Answers' is very good. He interviews a person, whereby people e-mail questions and the guest answers them him. He is a very good interviewer, and somehow makes it interesting viewing. It is a free channel offered to sky digital viewers and for that I think it is excellent value. CNN is always their when there is breaking news, it has some excellent programmes like Larry King Live, CNN World view, World News, NBC Nightly news, Asian edition and World Sport and World /news, so there is something for everybody. It also has travel programmes and a range of other's. It covers the sport news around Europe and the world... Read review

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: Lets the car do the work

...Lets face it, my pet chimpanzee could have one the world title last year driving the MP14. The truth of the matter is Mika is only as good as the Car. The Car won the title for him last year and the year before and he was aboard for the ride, pointing it in the right direction. Its a shame that a mediocre driver like Hakinen can win the world drivers championship when he is defiinitely not the worlds best driver. Eddie Irvine should have won it last year due to his total commitment to the team after the demise of Schumi!!!... Read review
