An A through Z of the Ratty One...

Advantages: It's all about me...
Disadvantages: It's all about me...

...The second instalment of all things Ratty and I promise this will be the last one too... these things are just too hard to write!! Having said that, I've thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of getting all this down in type, just hope it doesn't bore you all to sleep.... A – ADELAIDE Those of you who read my reviews regularly will know I have a little bit of an addiction with all things Australian and in particular the state of South Aussie. Figures then that this place should get into my A to Z hey? This is the finest city in the world in my humble opinion. The place is so clean, with wide streets, friendly locals, beautiful parks and a lovely beach area. The first time I went there I fell in love and if I could live there permanently then I’d be over there in a heartbeat. It’s a really weird feeling, but...

Review of Everything that starts with Z ...

I've got 99 Problems but Jay-Z aint one...

Advantages: Top quality hip hop, full of flair and skill,
Disadvantages: Some weaker tracks, adult language

...Jay-Z is a Brooklyn rapper who released his first studio album, Reasonable Doubt in 1996. His real anme is Shawn Corey Carter. The Black Album is his eighth studio album and is easily one of his best. He is a legendary modern day artist having sold more than 50 million units worldwide and has presided over Def Jam and Roc-a-Fella record companies.

The two of them have recently married this year and he has appeared of many of her singles up to date. Jay-Z is a hip-hop artist but has proved his appeal to the masses. His appearance on Beyonce's track 'Crazy in Love' and Rihnna's song 'Umbrella' have helped the two divas...

Review of Black Album, The [PA] - Jay-Z

An A-Z of the One, True Bodd

Advantages: Beats making repeated introductions.
Disadvantages: Self-praise is no recommendation

...than substantial to provide for people that need it. Perhaps fewer excursions to play Rambo in the Middle-East would be a better place to start? Y is for YULE- the traditional name for the Twelve Days of Christmas. Officially, these days did not exist as they were on the cusp between the old and new year, so it was used as an excuse for all sorts of licentious behaviour. Eating, drinking and making merry were the hallmark of the festivities. Things haven't changed much... hurrah! Z is for ZARATHUSTRA- protagonist of Nietzsche's "Thus Spake Zarathustra", a philosophical novel that is Nietzsche's most cogent treatise on the Ubermeinsch, or "Superman". If books be food for thought, this one takes a long time to digest but is well worth the effort....

Z65 - One of the Best!

Advantages: Fast, Great Results, Reliable and Looks Great!
Disadvantages: Bulky

...The Z65 is a simple colour inkjet printer. Nothing fancy, just a fast, easy printer - exactly what you need for a no fuss job! I've owned mine for over 2 years now, and have never had a problem. Although the cartridges are expensive, any user of an inkjet printer knows this is the case across almost the entire range of all manufacturers' models. It's where they make their money. My Z65 cost me just under £100 which isn't much really, but fill the black and colour carts up 3-4 times and you've paid for the printer again! I now also own an all-in-one Lexmark machine which is almost as good. I say almost, because a design flaw contributes to feeding the paper poorly sometimes. What I like about Lexmark printers, but the Z65 in particular is the software. It speaks to tell you what's going on. It tells you when it's printing, when...

Review of Me from A to Z

Lexmark Z 1520

Advantages: cheap, good looks
Disadvantages: a bit big

...Lexmark Z 1520 Lexmark are a company that have been designing and making printers for a while now, so firstly you know that they are great quality. However one bad ting about them is that their ink is quite dear compared with other printer manufacturers. You can however shop around, buy cheaper ink compatibles or even refill your old cartridges if you want to save the odd quid or two. The printer itself looks very cool and futuristic, its cool shiny white body and its black panels go well to give this printer a stylish edge against all its other competitors in the market today. It is however quite long and does appear quite big in the flesh. I cant help thinking they could have saved a lot of space and I feel that they really could have made it smaller and more compact. Also with this one, there’s the opportunity to do...

Review of Lexmark Z1520

Logitech Z-5500...It will blow your head off!!!

Advantages: Very loud, very good quality, easy to set up
Disadvantages: Big and heavy subwoofer but that's to be expected!

...up is: Logitech Z-5500 ---> (optical cable) PS3 ---> (HDMI cable) HDTV This means that I can play my games and watch films with surround sound =) Just a warning to any who want to use the same or similar set up to mine - they do not come with an optical cable so make sure you get one of those too! ~ The Speakers ~ In the box you get your centre speaker, two front speakers and two rear speakers as well as the huge sub woofer. The sub really is big and very heavy and may be a problem if you want it in a small room, also because when you open the box there is a warning telling you that you should not put any other electronic devices within 55cm of it. This is basically because they have not shielded it from the magnets used within it and as you probably know, strong magnets can seriously damage other devices. However, that is the only...

...Well, this is my first 'challenge' type of op - about the person I know best - me!, but hopefully it won't bore you guys too much! Here goes.... A - is for my blood type, well A positive to be precise. I know this because I've been following a healthy eating plan - Eat right for your type, well trying to anyway. B - is for the beach.

Review of A-Z for Members Challenges

One sexy Net Book!!

Advantages: Small for travelling, Fast, Stylish, Great Battery, Webcam Built in.
Disadvantages: No Cd Drive:(

...Hello everyone and welcome to this review. Well... Unfortunately my old HP laptop had reached the end of its life; it was time to get a new one. Im surprised that it lasted as long as it did considering the amount of times I drop my laptops. After researching on the web for a while I got a bit confused, there were so many laptops available and there were many good and bad reviews on each, I really did not know what to think. So, a trip to Comet was in order, I just wanted to pick one that looked nice and had okay features. If it was bad I always had the 28 day Comet return policy available, after all I would only lose around £10 for a repacking fee if the laptop was not for me. I would just have to make sure I don't drop it! To Comet I went and right at the front of the store was an advertisement of a net book. It was...

Review of Acer Aspire ONE A150

Jay-Z takes a tumble

Advantages: Some strong songs, some moments of lyricism
Disadvantages: Too driven for a pop market, corny hooks

...After bursting on to the scene and turning heads with Reasonable Doubt, (see previous review of mine) this second album came in the aftermath of the killing of Notorious BIG who was a close friend to Jay-Z. However that did not derail Jay-Z from progressing and he quickly released this which was to be his second studio album. The production on this album which unlike his previous album, has much more of a mainstream appeal to it and seems apparent that it was very much a focused effort to garner more sales by appealing to a much wider audience. This is apparent from the style of the production to some soft hooks. In fact this presentation is prevalent throughout the album and is immediately quite a contrast to the previous one. Unfortunately the production isn't the only change as the lyrics have also had a mainstream makeover...
