Advantages: Excellent tracks, new and refreshing music style
Disadvantages: Some tracks are a bit similar

...to be on there to fill up some space which is a real shame. Probably the most recognisable track on the album is 'The Avenue', which was the first single that was released too. This track features clips from 'The Maisonettes' number one single in 1982, called 'Heartache Avenue'. On listening 'The Avenue' it is really similar to the original so the song is likely to be of interest of young and old music fans (though may not be listened to as favourably as the original, by the older music fans). Another single from the album will be 'Shake A Leg' which is probably the albums stand-out track in my opinion. *Track-Listing * 1. Intro 2. Flying Away (Featuring Alex Mills) 3. The Avenue 4.

Advantages: Pretty gardens, lovely rooms
Disadvantages: hill to get up, rainy weather

...Osborne House situated on the Isle of Weight was designed as a country retreat away from London. Constructed in the fashion of an Italian villa, Queen Victoria & Albert found privacy from the prying eyes of public life. The building first began life in 1845; Prince Albert had a liking for the Italian style something which I noticed when wandering the corridors of the house. There are many unclothed statues in the style of how the Romans would have had it about 1000 years ago in the time of the Gladiators; there is one of Albert in a General’s uniform. The walls and ceilings are decorated with extraordinary features, one of the drawing rooms is done up in plush red, a style I think I would have had myself if I had the money. There is a Billiards table designed by Prince Albert, which has marble legs & gigantic yellow shaded lights which... Read review

Advantages: Great touristic offer
Disadvantages: If you live in, sometimes you feel like in a prison of 80 kms.

...or at the area called 'The avenues' (las avenidas). The 'Festival park' is a mini-ville placed at Marratxí (at the middle of the island); there you can find the Nike store or Levi's, NewYorker, at low prices. If you prefer the 'eating option', you can buy Sobrasadas or Cheese from Mahon. Don't forget to buy some spanish ham called 'Jamon Serrano' (I can't live without this... I know, I have a real problem). *** WHERE TO EAT *** Don't go eating at Jaime III avenue or sorroundings... or it will cost you an arm and a leg, maybe both arms and both legs. Often the restaurants far away from the center of the town are cheaper and you can eat much better. The restaurants near the sea are expensive and the food is 'food for tourists' pre-cooked food, not good; even paella is pre-cooked, so don't say you have tasted spanish paella if you go to one...

Advantages: Great weather
Disadvantages: 5th Avenue is oh so touristy

...to get through, get visas, pick up luggage, have it x-rayed again (um, why? What would Manchester let onboard that Cancun wouldn't allow to enter the country?) All visitors need a tourist card but these are granted automatically. They will ask you how long you want and you can get up to 180 days with little in the way or hassle (or I could). Most people will get 30 days which is sufficient, though if you leave the country (say, to pop to Belize) you have to surrender it and get a new one on the way back. Thus, the borders are crowded with people "renewing" their about-to-expire tourist cards by popping over to a neighbouring country for a few hours. *** Getting Around *** Playa is the easiest place to navigate because it runs on an American-style grid layout. The only thing slightly off is the numbering. Avenues run parallel to the sea... Read review

Advantages: Reminiscent of 'Baro Foro' towards the end, great music!
Disadvantages: More punk and less gypsy in the earlier songs

...on this album, the answer is - no, not in a single song. However, taking this album as a whole, I think the answer has to be a resounding yes! Listen to Avenue B, then Start wearing purple, then Undestructable... there will be a pain in your leg. That is there because you have been tapping your foot so hard. If the album has a low point I suppose it is that, just very occassionally, it sounds a little like the levellers in its political stances, which some may find a little nieve. However, it's worth bearing in mind that this is popular music, and that Eugene Hutz obviously has a lot more to him, and some sophisticated political views - it's just not always possible to communicate them in a pop song! (Not that this album is particularly poppy). Hutz's vision is to attempt a rapproachment with the traditional gypsy music that lies in his Roma roots... Read review

Advantages: time killer
Disadvantages: weak story line

...A is for Alibi is the first in the ABC series by Sue Grafton. I originally bought “I is for Innocent” at a boot fair for twenty pence. I foolishly decided to try and get the whole series before I started reading them. I wanted to start from A and work my way through ‘til the end. It took me a while to find A for Alibi but eventually I found it! Our hero is Kinsey Millhone who, up ‘til page 89, I thought was a guy! I was beginning to regret starting the book from about page 70 onwards. Not that I'm homophobic but I didn't really fancy having the main character in the book as a gay man describing sexual experiences and so on. On page 90, however, Kinsey starts shaving "his" legs and then it all clicked into place! Kinsey is a female PI licensed in California. She's thirty-two years old, twice divorced... Read review

Advantages: Nice smell. Shaves really well.
Disadvantages: Slightly expensive.

...When it comes to shaving, I'm right in there with the shaving gels and creams. I like to keep my legs and pits as hairless as possible. There's so many shaving creams/gels/lotions out there aimed at men and women alike. To be honest with you, it doesn't worry me whether the shaving stuff on offer is for men or women. If I like it, I'll buy it. Simple. So, on my latest trip to Sainbury's, I decided to buy something I'd never tried before. That is 'King of Shaves AlphaGel DDS Shaving Gel'. It's not the cheapest brand around. I paid £3.09 for a 175g tube of this. But, it's really eye catching and stood out on the shelf. The plastic tube is clear on the bottom half so you can see the contents, and green on the top half with the named brand written across it. I bought the 'supercooled menthol' version. There is a flip lid which I... Read review

Advantages: Some strong tracks present on this thirteen track album.
Disadvantages: Some tracks fail to impress.

...'Ocean Avenue' is the 2004 album from the American Pop Punk band Yellowcard. Although fitting snugly into the genre of Pop Punk, the band actually incorporate a violin into their sound and this is something that makes them stand out a little from the crowd. When you listen to the music of Yellowcard it is not your standard Pop Punk affair and therefore their music is all the more interesting to listen to. The first track I ever heard from this album was 'Life of a Salesman', a track that initially put me off listening to 'Ocean Avenue' as I was not at all a fan of what I heard. With 'Life of a Salesman' there is just too much going on within the track at once and as a result it all seems a little congested as the band progress their way through this three minute piece of Pop Punk. The drums just don't seem to fit with the guitars... Read review

...Avenue Angling is owned by John Lambert and run by both John Lambert and Martin (don't know his surname). Avenue Angling is located up Denbeigh Road in the Golden Triangle are of Norwich. If you can't visit the shop then I know that John does mail order, Call 01603 764004 It was one of my carp fishing buddoes that got me in to Avenue Angling. The way carp fishing was going had meant that carp super markets were being opened up just like Angling Direct. The personal touch was missing and it was impossible to obtain help and advice from knowledgeable anglers, instead you get served by YTS Saturday boys that don't know the difference between a boilie and a bivvy. It is good that all products are on display in that it is possible to see the size of the bivvy and what it looks like when it is set up, feel how heavy the rod is before you... Read review
