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...

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

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...

COFFEE UNION - NO WONDER THE UNIONS ARE FAILING

Advantages: NONE
Disadvantages: FOOD, COFFEE SERVICE

...Like the previous reviewer I am forced to use Coffee Union at Princes Parade. I guess that the previous writer was one of the lucky ones. Being a creature of habit I tend to opt for the jacket potato and a latte frappe but this is because the choice of sandwiches is dismal and certainly unappetising. Breaking the experience into 3 categories, lets start with staff. The current 'acting' manager is certainly living up to her title - ACTING - because she certainly cannot organise or manage what goes on around her (but she is pleasant which is a plus). First thing in the morning, if you fancy a piece of toast, you can wait anything upto 15 minutes and that is with only 2 or 3 other customers in the shop. Lunch-times and total bedlam reigns - there is/was supposed to be a new system where you gave your name when you ordered and then...

Welcome to A World Made out of Chocolate

Advantages: Chocolate, Good Signage, Good Play Area
Disadvantages: Took a while to get going, small queues for one of the attractions

... Introduction Having booked a weeks holiday from work, and no money to actually fly off to sunnier climbs, I was desperate to do something with the family whilst I was off otherwise I wouldn't have derived any tangible benefit from my week away from the office. A list of possible destinations were thrown into the melting pot so to speak, but the one which seemed to get the loudest cheers was Cadbury's World. To tell you the truth I'm not a big chocolate lover, so I wasn't particularly enamoured with the suggestion, but Mrs Supercityfan (SCF) and Master and Miss SCF were adamant that this was where they wanted to go, so in the interests of democracy I was forced to go with the majority decision. What is It The marketing material which accompanies the Tour claims it is 'Fourteen Amazing Zones...

Review of Cadbury World

Two Worlds

Advantages: Flexible character development and vast exploration area
Disadvantages: Mounted ride control is horrible

...The story (taken from the official website) : The world changed when Aziraal, the god of war, was slain in the huge battle long ago. The hordes of Orcs lost their divine leader and were forced to withdraw to the southern wastelands. Now, thousands of years later, the location of Aziraal's tomb is still unknown, well hidden by other gods who did not dare to entrust the secret to mere mortals. However, now, a fragile peace between the civilized races and the hordes is at stake. When the dwarven mining expedition discovered an ancient temple dedicated to an unnamed deity - all of the world's most powerful factions saw it as a possible clue to the place of Azriaal's burial ground. A silent war has now begun and it will soon ignite the fires that will lead to the holy crusade of the Orcs. However, the real danger lies somewhere else...

HAMBURGER UNION GARRICK STREET LONDON

Advantages: FAST EFFICIENT SERVICE AND GOOD QUALITY PRODUCTS
Disadvantages: WOULD PREFER SEATING WITH BACKS RATHER THAN STOOLS

...and spacious and you could look out at the world passing by whilst resting your feet and enjoying your meal. We didn't wait long at all for the food and the server came back after a while to make sure that everthing was ok. This restaurant is in an excellent position for all the West End Theatres and you can be sure that if you want to fit a decent meal in before a show that it will be served promptly, which is more than can be said for some of the places around there. Now, the menu(most important) Burgers The Union Burger with ketchup, mayo, red onion and lettuce £3.95 Cheeseburger with ketchup, mayo, red onion and lettuce £4.50 Monterey Jack Cheeseburger with ketchup, mayo, red onion and lettuce £5.00 Bacon Cheeseburger with smoked streaky bacon, ketchup, mayo, red onion and lettuce £5.50 Monterey Jack & Bacon Cheeseburger...

The Perfect Union...

Advantages: smells amazing, lasts well, creates a story for itself
Disadvantages: expensive

...A French gentleman named Armand Petitjean, the perfumer and creator of Lancome launched the brand in 1935 with five founding fragrances. Lancome is now considered one of the world’s major French fragrance brands. Lancome considers itself to have an excellent relationship with it’s female wearers – creating a bond between the muse and the fragrance if you will. This brand concepts itself as being of a rare elegance and able to express beautiful emotions, with each perfume that Lancome has created depicting a story of an encounter between a beautiful flower and a captivating woman. Lancome wishes that when a woman chooses one of their fragrances, it should be because she feels like the fragrance has chosen her and the meaning is supposed to be very romantic and symbolic. Personally, I can’t comment too much...

Slimming World - Not So Much Diet As Lifestyle Change

Advantages: Steady, sustainable weight loss, plenty of encouragement, excellent value
Disadvantages: Success still requires willpower and dedication!

...INTRODUCTION Slimming World has changed my life. That's not a flippant, wishful statement - it's a fundamental truth. The temptation is to turn this into a personal testimony of what Slimming World has done for me, and having lost close to four (4) stone already after five (5) months of attending, you could probably forgive me for it. That said, this is a review site, so I will try and keep it as matter of fact as possible, whilst sharing my personal experience with you. A SIMPLE TRUTH Slimming World (SW) is less about diet and more about lifestyle change. In truth, there is little mystery about the ?science? of Food Optimising (not to be confused with "Food Combining" which is a theory that certain combinations of food accelerate weight loss, whilst others inhibit it). The mechanics of losing weight are simple...

Review of Slimming World

Slimming World

Advantages: inexpensive, quick to lose the weight, lots of support
Disadvantages: you have to ea too much!!!

...It got to thestage where I had to do something about my weight. I had finished working, and got a bit lethargic at home all day, hence the weigt piled on. I saw an ad for Slimming World in the local shop, and it was held just along the road from where live. I plucked up courage and went along to the group, on the Tuesday evening. I was welcombed warmly by everybody, and listened to the introductory talk. It all souded very good, but a little unbelievable. They were saying that you could lose 4/7 pounds a week!! I needed to lose 3 stone, and if that was the case, it wouldn't take too long to get it off. So I joined, and the following week, lo and behold lost 6 lbs. Amazing. I followed the diet for the next month, and had lost one stone already. Afer 3 months I had lost the 3 stones. Fantastic, and I was never hungry. you just...
