Advantages: No lack of variety, intriguing, and he's gorgeous!! Disadvantages: Can take a few plays to 'sink in', possibly an acquired taste.
Ooh, I've been meaning to write a review of this CD for ages since I requested it to be added some months ago now, but so many distractions, so little time! Anyway now I've got round to doing it, here we go??
Let's start with a quick, potted rundown of the artist for those who may be unfamiliar with the name. The luscious (yes, he's one of my many crushes?..!) 37 year old Scott Weiland was lead singer of rock band the Stone Temple Pilots from 1991 for about 10 years. He fell into the 'traditional' round of drug and alcohol addiction for a few years before going through rehab and emerging as lead singer with Velvet Revolver last year. Somewhere amidst all this in 1998 he produced this solo album, "12Bar Blues", released on the Atlantic label, which was met with mixed reactions from fans and music press alike.
This solo album ...
Advantages: Great stories, good engines, educational experience Disadvantages: The new stories aren't as good
I am now 17 years old, but I do still love watching the odd Thomas The Tank Engine story very ocassionly. I grew up watching it and I had, and still do have, most of the videos and story books. I was pleased to discover that the programmes and concept is still going strong. They are continuing to make new stories and introduce more characters, both of which have some positive and negative costs.

Thomas The Tank Engine (and Friends), is a childrens programme about the trains that operate on the island of Sodor. It follows them through their ups and downs and also their funny moods and strops that they get into. Each story tends to have a message at the end of it and it ...
Advantages: Kids just love him Disadvantages: Wacky prices
and his friends toys....
We personally have so many Thomas toys that I couldnt give you discriptions without needing a week to do it. Suffice to say that my boys spend hours playing with their Brio trains which we add too as often as possible, seeing as brio is on the more expensive side. But ebay does offer an alternative to paying out so much money, but in my experience have found that everyone wants Thomas so the bids exceed drastically, the original price.
This christmas my boys will not be let down. I have for them the usual colouring books and pens and my mother has told me that she has sent over a remote control Thomas. There is a limitless range out there, all guarenteed to keep the little uns occupied for many hours.
On closing, I want to again say Tanks Rev....you have made millions happy through taking a great passion ...
