The Edge Chronicles Books

if you read harry potter, and are looking for something better, and failing every time you try, check out these books, they are brilliant, not on a limit of seven either, like the harry potter books. personally, i prefer these. From the first page of 'beyond the deepwoods' you know this is going to be something special. its genius! You can lose yourself in a world of magic, sky pirates, huge floating vessels, endless seas of forests... it is a magical book, the best fantasy for the 10+ reader

What Is Wrong With Amy Winehouse???????

Amy Winehouse might still have an issue with drugs. I just don't know. Maybe if it were something obvious, like a syringe hanging out of her arm or a crack pipe in her back pocket or Pete Doherty stuck in her beehive, I might buy it. Oh wait, yeah, that does happen.
She's done everything else, why not crack too? The only thing that's perhaps surprising is that she let it be caught on video. Most of us call Wino a crack whore (Dont Deny It!), we're not that far from wrong.





Dear God!

Kylie Minogue X Album

The entire album is a electro-disco-pop extravaganza topped off at the end with a nice slowish number - Cosmic. With producers such as Calvin Harris, the Freemasons, Guy Chambers and Bloodshy & Avant, X was always going to be great. Songs to look out for are 'Wow', 'Cosmic', 'In Your Arms' and 'Speakerphone'. In Your Arms is such a heart tugging song but strangely makes you want to get up and shake your booty. I think only Kylie manages to work on a song that can do this.

For the old school Kylie fans (like me, although I love everything she does!), these guys will be rushing to the songs 2 Hearts, Wow and Like a Drug. The best album I have heard this year. It is right up there with Fever, Light Years and in my opinion surpasses Body Language in every way (and I loved Body Language so that is saying something!)

All I can say is welcome back to the ultimate Queen of Pop. All those people who don't like it, that's fine but I really think that you should get your emotions, ears and feelings checked! Kylie, we love you and can't wait to see your tour!

Robosapien Toy

I got the Robosapien limited edition, it is chrome and looks really cool. So even when not used is great to have around as a conversation piece.
Find one of these that you like the ergonomic factors on before you get it. There are many different body types for Robosapien and are not all created equal. Some of the inexpensive models have a very cheap looking front breast cover and chimpy arms. The limited editions have very robust cool looking arms. All models do have the same programing, so if looks are not important to you get the cheapest model you can find.
Funny Karate chop. Very cool dance demo is worth buying it just for that.

Iron Man Movie

Gosh, where to start! - Watching the film you can almost smell director Jon Favreau's perfectionism. The explosions are simply thrilling to watch, my personal favourite hands down is the 'Jerico' and I'm sure I'm not alone on that one. Aside from all the explosions there's an area which adults can enjoy too, the humour. All in all "Iron Man" is definitely a family film and should be watched by all, probably more than once.

I'm not 100% sure we'll see another "Iron Man" for quite a while, which is a great shame, I do hope im wrong and they are already working on number 2! - If you have not already been to see this masterpeace then I do erge you to go when ever possible asap. Superman, Spiderman... and their ontourage definitely have a great deal of work to do in order to oppose top dog position again! - I do wish them luck however, as I'm sure they will need it!
All in all "Iron Man" is definitely a family film and should be watched by all, probably more than once.

yamaha aerox 50

I bought the yamaha aerox 50 for use to commute, as well as other inner-city rides. It has met my needs very well and I am very happy with the bike. The only problem Ive had with it (only time it wouldnt start) when it had been out in the rain. This was, however, not normal rain but more of a 'rainstorm' in Bergens classical style. Streets were flooded etc. the bike seemed to have gotten moisture somewhere in the engine or carburettor. After replacing the spark plug it returned to normal. (On a bad day it still feels like it has lost its effect but I will dismantle it and clean it up when the summer comes) A great purchase!

Philips hp6453 satin ice optima epilator

Philips HP6453 Satin Ice Optima Epilator is easy to use and hairs are pulled from the roots. You can use it everywhere, underarms, bikini (that really hurts) legs and arms. My hairs used to be dark, thick and I'd have to shave everyday. From the first two times I used the epilator they grew back slower and lighter and less thick, now you can hardly notice when I haven't epilated! Also there are other attachments which you can use like the exfoliating tool. How cool is that?

Samsung vp-dc161

Only Good Thing: Great being able to record onto DVD then give the DVD straight away to a friend to take home and watch.

I bought the Samsung VP-DC161 as a panic purchase. It seemed great value and so flexible with the DVD's. The first Camcorder broke within a week. The second one annoys me ever time I use it. The LCD screen is so bad you can hardly see what you are recording on it. I am now going to throw it away and write it off as a mistake purchase. REALLY, don't waste your money on it.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

Well, at least they didn't call it "Narnia 2: Electric Boogaloo." Book 2 of the C.S. Lewis' much-loved 7-book "Chronicles of Narnia" arrives on waves of Disney hype and a great trailer. And while it delivers a very cool adventure story, it dumps lots of the big ideas that make Narnia so much more than just a cool adventure story.

A plea: If you still have not read these short, easy-to-follow little novels, now is the perfect time. Take the movie for a ride, then sit down with the book to soak up the whole satisfying experience.

The beloved non-human characters from the book are less appealing onscreen than on the page. Reepicheep the mouse and Trumpkin the dwarf are both less severe and less memorable. Aslan is more impressive-looking than in the previous film, but his role is reduced to a couple of cameo appearances. The story belongs to Caspian and the siblings.

If you can't forget Lewis's book, the film is kind of a downer. It lacks the character development and depth of spiritual insight that makes the books literary classics and so satisfying to read again and again.

Team Fortress 2 PC Game

The life of your average game is short. This is because we usually discard the games we've played. Like novels and hamburgers, we consume them, and then we move on.

Team Fortress 2 is not a hamburger. It should not be taken for granted.

This is a game that has seen every facet of its structure fine-tuned by top-level craftsmen. Its designers have refined the original shape of Team Fortress, like carving masters whittling away at a piece of prime wood. Every wall and weapon and machine gun turret feels as solid as oak. Every map has been reduced to its most basic form, play-tested and polished with a glossy varnish. The finished product positively shines.

Dell Inspiron 6400 Laptop

Put simply, I'll not be buying Dell again. This is my second Dell machine and the second that has failed within a few months. First there's the DVD/CD drive that makes some discs sound like a tractor. Then there's the failure of the OS (something about BOOTMGR not being found - why not?). I had to reinstall the Vista OS. Result? The machine no longer talks to my wireless hub and the whole thing freezes when I plug in the ethernet cable. Dell help people weren't much, er, help. English isn't their first laguage (not a criticism of them, I should add) and this does pose problems. They seem keener to clear the call. Shame, as the spec is good and the design sensible (eg DVD and volume on the front). MAC book anyone?
