Advantages: All 5 thugs unlike some of the other cds
Disadvantages: nothing!

...- An intro to the album starting with a bit of talking and then a display of what Bone are capable of. 2. The Righteous Ones - A track with good music and really good female vocals from "davids daughters". smooth track with tight rhymes. 3. 2 Glocks - Heavy bass, different beat. Fast raps. 4. Battlezone - I luv this track. Its got the "swing low, sweet chariot" as an intro/chorus. After this, Bizzy unleashes some crazy rhymes. Layzie then comes in with some great lyrics and finally Krayzie finishes the track with hardcore rap lasting 2 minutes. 5. Ecstacy - This is a really relaxing track about Bone getting high on Ex. At the beginning they talk about Ex being better than weed and then they go into the tune. The rapping in this track is very smooth but still fast. 6. Murder One - This starts straight into the rap, no music. Similar music... Read review

Advantages: Every bit as funny as the series
Disadvantages: Little kids copying the stunts!

...Jackass the movie is definately a film unlike any that you will have seen before. Basically it is an extended version of the popular MTV series which incorporates stunts that they could not put on the box. In a nutshell this means that a group of about 10 American guys do things that are just plain stupid, dangerous, crazy and also scary! (A lot of bones have been broken I think!) If you like the series then you are guaranteed to enjoy this. Just a little taster of the stuff they get up to includes off-road tattooing and paper cuts between the toes and fingers (cringe worthy!). Pushing their luck as far as they can and trying not to die in the process (all I need to say to u is golf cart and you will understand what i mean). 75 minutes of crass humour which is basically an extended version of the series with more swear words...

Advantages: A good mix of Billy's songwriting styles
Disadvantages: None, really

...This is my favourite of the Pumpkins' albums. I haven't yet heard anything from "Gish", but I think this album typifies early Smashing Pumpkins. The record opens with "Cherub Rock", a strong rock track, and continues with "Quiet", an angry guitar-fest, "Today", with its cute intro guitar riff, and "Hummer", a kinda sweet track. "Disarm" was a single, which is pretty good (acoustic-based, with strings to boot). My favourite track on this album is "Soma". This song starts off really slow and quiet, but after a couple of minutes bursts into a huge chorus/solo section. There were in excess of 40 studio tracks used on this song, and at least 10 just for the first guitar solo! (played on an acoustic with an Ebow - crazy!!) Other highlights are "Mayonaise" and "Spaceboy". The sleeve pics/lyrics etc are pretty cool. All of the lyrics... Read review

Advantages: Great hardcore album
Disadvantages: Not as good as their other more recent releases

...I Hate Myself When I'm Not Skateboarding is Bones Brigade's debut album. They had previously released a 7 inch but this was their first go at a full length album. I Hate Myself When I'm Not Skateboarding is a lot different to Bones Brigade's recent releases as they have a different vocalist and quite a different sound. They are now known for their skate thrash sounds and harsh sounding vocals, but this album sounds a lot more like other hardcore bands that are around. Bones Brigade are well known for being one of the best skateboard bands around and this album is no exeption. Alot of the songs are about skateboarding or relate back to skateboarding so this may put people who aren't into skateboarding off. Infact this album has Bones Brigades most well known song on it 'Skate or Die'. The full Bones Brigade line up is: Vocals... Read review

Advantages: Great storyline, superb acting
Disadvantages: Ending is a little rushed

...After hearing mixed reviews about this movie, I finally decided to go to see it, purely to have a look at Samuel L. Jackson’s crazy hair style. I have to say that I wasn’t disappointed with M. Night Shyamalan’s latest offering. Many people, myself included, were under the impression that this was going to be another "Sixth Sense" with some even hoping for a sequel. However, if you go to the cinema with this expectation then you will end up feeling very disppointed. Yes it stars Bruce Willis, yes it its directed by Shyamalan but it is *not* another "Sixth Sense" - it is a film in it’s own right and should be viewed that way. Without giving away too much of the plot, the basic storyline centres around Bruce Willis’ character David Dunn who is involved in a train crash. He manages to escape unscathed... Read review

Advantages: A Truly Classic album, available at
Disadvantages: It costs a lot to get to south africa.

...Unfortunately, everybody has beaten me to the book of superlatives on this one! What can you say, I once read that 1 in every 6 homes in the UK own a copy of this album and I can quite believe it. Paul Simon's 'Hearts and Bones' album begin to explore rhythms different to anything he'd used before, tracks such as '50 ways to leave your lover' paving the way for the Graceland. It must not be forgotten that, artist such as Mike Oldfield for example, had visited South Africa and experimented with their rhythms on 'Ommadawn' (1975), but it was undoubtedly Paul Simon who brought this music to a mass-market appeal. The fusing together of Simon's slick New York production and the angelic chorus's of the Ladysmith Black Mambazo choir, coupled with the ever solid rhythms of Steve Gadd on the drummers stool go far to make this one...

Advantages: Effective, durable protection
Disadvantages: Mud tends to stick so frequent washing needed

...I bought 3 pairs of long Sportabac socks from my local saddlery for approx £26 each in Dec 2003. My horse had suffered a horrific injury to the lower part of her left hind, leaving very little flesh on the bone and after 4 weeks at the vets she was going stable crazy! The long turnout socks held the very large dressing in place and protected it from the elements so I could turn her out during the day - which I am sure aided has her recovery. As the healng progressed, I put them on her so I could ride her in a sand manege - and they successfully kept all the sand off the dressing whilst helping protect against brushing. Now they protect the still delicate scar tissue when she is turned out as well as keeping the mud off. After a year of wearing the socks each day - she has had absolutely no rubs. I have managed with just 3 pairs... Read review

Advantages: Izzard is a stand up genius!
Disadvantages: Overly political at times.

...Lets start out with this. Eddie Izzard is a great stand up comedian. However, those of you who like to be told jokes should buy a Chubby Brown video. This video is set in San Francisco ("not San Fran, no apparently not, its THE CITY!). This means Izzard starts with a short tour including a hilarious offbeat look at trams and the prison of Alcatraz. For observational humour Eddie is second to none. For those of you who remember "Glorious" this video is a departure from the insanity and is a more sarcastic look at cultures across the globe. Some of you may find this a bit close to the bone and may wish to avoid it. Don't worry though. The insanity which is Izzard shines through on occasion ("when squirrels eat nuts why do they stop and look as if to say, have i left the gas on? No i,m a f%$£*% squirrel!). Once the actual stand up... Read review

Advantages: Intelligent and zany hilarity
Disadvantages: none

..., crazy, educational, controversial and child-friendly all at the same time. It's hard to pick a best part and almost impossible to find a part that wasn't a stroke of pure brilliance. Perhaps after the show's finished you could indulge in one of Bill's favourite relaxation techniques, simply remove the clear plastic vegetable box from your fridge and push it into your washing up, that way you can observe your washing up under-water. The bonus material on the disc includes a video diary from the tour. This docu-comedy approach to something as simple as the good ol' British obsession with quality tea and coffee making facilities in hotel rooms which leads to an amusing way to fill 10minutes, but it's more than a stopgap, it's a must see report that panorama itself would be proud of. No matter how dry (or sopping wet) your sense of humour... Read review

Advantages: Fantasic colours, Glowing cheeks
Disadvantages: A bit pricey

...I absolutely love the make up in the Benefit Range. The prices of their products are quite high compared to other "high street" brands but you get lovely products that give you great results. They have put in a lot of effort designing their products packaging which shows. All of their products come in cute little boxes, all of which are 50's inspired. Benefit's Cheekies is another exceedingly good product to buy from the Benefit range. At £16 for a tube, it's quite an expensive blusher! It comes in a squeezy tube that resembles an artist's paint tube. I chose the colour "Crazy In Love" and as the colour name indicates it gives your cheeks a great just-flushed look, like the times when your so in love with someone that you blush every time you see them!! It has great staying power and does last all day over my foundation... Read review
