Advantages: Nice Crisp Taste Disadvantages: Can get you drunk very quickly
So its the first time you walked into a pub, your still 16 and faced the bar trying to make up your mind about what to drink. Then something suddenly hits you that maybe you should try Stella it sounds cool. That first decision came 4 years ago in a pub that no longer bears the same name, however unlike the pub my drinking habits haven't changed dramatically.
One of Belgium's more famous beer exports Stella has been around since 1717 when Sebastian Artois bought the Duchy of Leuven Brewery in Den Horen and originally started brewing Stella. The brewery had been brewing beer since 1366 but really took off after the brewery was bought. The first time Stella was released it was as a limited edition for Christmas with the Stella star on the bottle to represent the Christmas Star.
Of course Stella in Britain is no longer imported from ...
Advantages: Nice staff, clean, kettle in the room Disadvantages: The local area, rather expensive
This is yet another hotel stayed in when travelling with work.
It's a four star hotel (Ciao has it listed as a three star) and is located in the business district in Madrid. The Estadio Santiago Bernabeau, the home of Real Madrid football club is also very close by if you are interested in football.

And no over-crowding or rubbish strewn everywhere!
The hotel itself is a typical sprawling 1980's concrete block. The surrounding area is a bit dodgy at night and opposite the hotel is a boarded up cinema. In fact the whole area is pretty much a concrete jungle and I would be careful with going out after dark as it's pretty deserted once ...
Advantages: Lovely long lasting perfume. I'm not likely to forget the name. Disadvantages: It's not cheap
OKAY. WHY THE TITLE?
I'm reviewing a product called Stella endorsed by Stella McCartney and the review is written by me - Stella. Stella by Stella by Stella. See what I did there?! Ahem.
WHAT IS IT?
In this instance, I have a 50ml bottle of Stella Eau de Parfum and a 75ml Soft Body Milk which come as part of a gift pack.
WHY THE PRODUCT
I like having things with my name on it and I like the bottle but wasn't in a hurry to pay the price for it so it was a nice surprise to be given it as a Christmas present in 2006 by my Darling Daughter. I'll call her DD for the purposes of this review.
WHERE CAN IT BE FOUND?
A little tricky this one. DD found it in the in-flight catalogue on board an easyjet flight from Inverness to London. Now you may not want to go to such measure for a bottle of perfume. A bit 'Milk Tray ...
