Scone Shoes

Advantages: comfortable, better fitting shoes at reasonable prices
Disadvantages: limited range, most of them are quite ugly

First let me explain ?scone shoes.? When I first ordered shoes from the Shoe Tailor, experts in wider-fitting shoes, I measured my feet incorrectly and found that the only shoes in their catalogue that would fit me were their widest, ugliest, most orthopaedic, brown, granny shoes: the type you might wear to go out with your friends for a scone, in your later years. Hence my friends groaningly called them my ?scone shoes? and walked several yards behind me on the way to the pub every night. They were very comfy! However, they fell apart after a couple of years of continuous wear, and once gone, same said friends took me shopping to some ?proper? shoe shops in Glasgow and I never once consulted my Shoe Tailor catalogue again. That was about eight years ago, and although I?m not exactly old and doddery yet, I am finding shoes to be ...

Review of The Shoe Tailor

Dancing shoes on

Advantages: well thought out characters and a nice story
Disadvantages: likely to make you cry

I first read Ballet Shoes when I was eight. It was the first of Noel Streatfield's books I'd read, and it remains my favourite. I put it away during my teenage years and forgot about it until Christmas 2007 when I watched the BBC adaptation with Emma Watson. I went to Indonesia and got the film on knock-off DVD, and immediately after watching I rang home to get my parents to order me a copy. It was a great welcome home.

Review of Ballet Shoes - Noel Streatfeild

Carbon

Advantages: customization is great
Disadvantages: too short

i'm a big fan of the nfs series but i wasn't too impressed by carbon which could have been great. Ive given it a three star rating becuase a couple of reasons. number one- it is too short- it doesn't compare to the other nfs game. i completed it in less than 2 weeks playing occasionally. number 2- The graphics are quite good but don't look like they have changed from need for speed underground. The gameplay has improved and driving the cars is much more realistic with better handling. The highlight of the game is probably the awsome autoscuplt where you can modify you cars looks and performance. You can can change the size, shape and height of the extras before buying them. If you're loking for a cheap decent driving game then this is perfect for you but nfs fans may be let down. ...
