Advantages: Unusual food, Not your average cookbook.
Disadvantages: Not for begginers, not exactly low- calorie, more veggie options?

.... It is jammed full with gorgous recipes (I counted 30!) which include such delights as 'Slut- Red rasperries in chardonnay jelly' or if that doesn't flot you boat, then how about 'Chocolate rasperry Pavlova?' Yummy. There was a good balance between light summery puddings and good baking. There was shaortbread recipes, and lavender cupcakes, but there were also recipes for things like 'Whote chocolate Almond cake' or 'Caramelised pinapple with hot choclate sauce'. This was a fabulous section! An unusual sub- section, home made ice- cream. Yummy! This section includes the basic vanilla, strawberry ones, but also has some more unusal ones such as 'Baci Ice- cream' or 'Dime bar ice cream!'. There was also a recipe for a sorbet, and a hot chilli sauce to pour over your ice cream! Next was 'Drinks'. Just a warning, this section is very heavy with the old... Read review

Advantages: The knowledge of the fly
Disadvantages: Can get caught in weeds

...I am a fly fisher. I enjoy it much more than coarse fishing which is featured on the site. It takes time in pleasure my hobby and I have devoted many years to it ever since I was 7, I was so eager to learn. Fly fishing I feel is a great hobby and people should take it up. Flies are crucially to the sport, seeing that is what the fish is attracted to and how you catch it. *The fly first of all must be suited to the fish that you are wishing to catch (e.g. a rainbow trout is more partial to the brown and green flies, the 'pheasant tails' and 'dampshels nypmh'). *The type of water that you are fishing in (e.g. the clear waters of a well kept lake, the best colours would be white with black, white or yellow, the best fly for clear water would be the buzzer).On the other hand, the lakes that I am most fond of are the Lochs of bonnie...

Advantages: There's a moral
Disadvantages: You might not like it.

...Not my own work, but I thoght it worthy of sharing :) A dragon fly was flying a foot over the water when a bass spotted him and thought "If that fly drops 6 more inches I'll jump up and eat him". About that time a bear near the water saw the bass and the fly and thought "If that fly drops another 6 inches and that bass jumps up to eat him I'm going to swipe that bass from the air and eat him". About the same time a hunter a ways away was eating a cheese sandwich when he saw the bear looking at the fish who was looking at the fly and he thought "If that fly drops 6 more inches and that bass jumps up to eat it and that bear grabs that fish I'm gonna drop my sandwich and shoot that bear". About that time a mouse was watching the hunter watching the bear who was watching the bass who was watching the fly and he thought "If that fly drops... Read review

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: They Buzz, Annoy, Grow, Spread Disease

...There are nearly 100,000 known species of flies, including, horseflies, bluebottles, mosquitoes, midges, fruit fly, crane fly, green bottle, cluster fly, lesser house fly, beer fly, house fly, blowflies, the list goes on. Most flies feed on liquids, mainly nectar but others on blood and contaminate or spread disease by vomiting on our food after landing on waste rubbish and other nasty things like manure etc. Now I don’t wish to discuss in too much detail flies on there own, I would like to make an observation and then explore ways of ridding your house of unwanted buzzing. Flies and other flying insects such as Wasps, Bees, Dragonflies, Flying Ants, Crane flies all appear to be getting much, much bigger. This is obviously evolution and as a planet we are evolving, other species animals, humans etc are growing bigger – the world... Read review

Advantages: Feel Special and Prosperous
Disadvantages: Older Planes are slightly uncomfortable

...I always choose British Airways when flying internally, the reasons why are simple. BA terminals are easy to navigate and provide excellent customer support. Parking is easy and checking in electronically is simple and effective. I like the feeling I get when relaxing preflight in their lounges and Their frequent fliers scheme is affiliated with airmiles so you can really boost your collection. On the plane, the food is always respectable and the staff are relaxed and very helpful. Some of the older planes are a little uncomfortable but the new planes are wonderfully comfy to fly in. I always feel special after flying with BA.... Read review

Advantages: Good fun
Disadvantages: Lot of travelling

...I find it very odd that there is only one Airline that flies directly to Vegas from London Airports. That of course is Virgin. There are several that fly off to Amsterdam first and then onto the USA. I dont really fancy the idea of flying away, stoping, unloading all the baggage and then getting a connecting flight. It means on my week long vacation, Im gonna spend about 2 days solid travelling. That is quite a lot. Its at least 350 quid to fly out there and you gotta add the price of a hotel on top and dont forget spending money. All this because someone I know is getting Married out there.... Read review

Advantages: catches unwanted flies
Disadvantages: only drinks rain water

...I have a baby venus fly trap at home and i didnt realise how difficult they are to look after. Firstly the plant can only have rain water so outside my window i have a bottle and a bucket waiting to collect any rain. This time of year it is easy but if we have a dry summer it could be difficult. (although this is england so having a dry summer is doubtful) Secondly it is very hard to find flies for them to eat. They obviously prefer live food but trying to catch a fly is difficult. As the majority of the time i have to kill them i have to use twisers to move the fly in the trap so it closes. Again this time of year getting alot of flies is also hard. They can eat things like crickets but i gave it a ladybird that was dead and i think it has killed the trap . You also only need to feed them about once a week in winter. Also... Read review

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: Every thing about them

...One of the worst things I hate most, are flies and this is why!!! The most common of the 85,000 kinds of flies that exist in the world is the HOUSE FLY. It is tiny, does not sting nor bite yet it is one of the most dangerous creatures on the face on the earth! Why? Because of the germs it carries. It comes into contact with all sorts of corruption and filth. The fly that strolls round your sandwich plate, sampling everything in sight, is actually wiping its feet after ambulating through some.......... I would rather not contemplate where it might have been. It certainly carries germs of all descriptions and is contaminating everything it touches. The fly has very large eyes, each one having 4,000 six sided lenses! When we think of the "artillery" lined up against it, it needs all the vision it can get. Its eyesight is very keen...

Advantages: Easy to become Royal Wing flying a few Long haul flights.
Disadvantages: Flying short haul in Europe may take up to 30 flights.

...KLM Flying Dutchman programme is my faveroute I have been a member for over 4 years and this is one of the easiest to move up to a higher level, with relatively few flights as long as they are long haul. 3 Flights in Economy to Hong Kong in one year and you will become a Royal Wing member. A lot of people fly regularily but with the right choice of airline they can get the reward. Such as Access to the KLM and Northwest lounges and this then available when you fly on any airline in Economy. If you become Royal wing you will automatically qualify for space available upgrades when flying Northwest from Economy to First class flying domestically in the United States. Overall one of the most friendly and when you redeem points for flights they dont charge airport tax like the others. Cool huh!!! The best uses for the points... Read review
