♪ LISA MAFFIA - FIRSTLADY ♪
Now most people will most likely recognise Lisa Maffia for coming second to the irritating Kirsty Gallagher in the most recent installment of "The Games". However, a couple of years ago, she was more famous for being the firstlady of the garage collective "So Solid Crew" who had just went solo as an urban star in her own right.
Unfortunately, her solo effort failed to set the world alight - which is a shame, as her first single release "All Over" was absolutely fantastic! Similar to her So Solid "brothers", Romeo and Harvey, her solo projects were much hyped but then virtually ignored once they actually hit the charts.
Lisa has concocted an album using a variety of music styles - it embraces first and foremost a more r & b style than you would expect from someone who made her name in ...
Advantages: Picturesque, relaxing Disadvantages: None for me
My recent visit to Zurich was so brief that I had to choose between a boat trip on Lake Zurich (Zurichsee) and a train ride up the Uetliberg mountain. My son and his partner had, before my arrival, made a trip to Lake Lucerne and Mount Pilatus, so they insisted I make the choice.

, and a useful month-by-month summary of annual events in Zurich.
The section on Making the Most of Zurich looks first at shopping, then at eating and drinking, followed by entertainment and nightlife. These are all rather generalised, but the next sub-section on sport and relaxation lists a fair number of activities. Then comes accommodation, which suggests nineteen hotels in three price categories. My comment here has to be that for the Helmhaus Hotel where I stayed, the book says 'Ask for a room overlooking the river'; the hotel is close to the river, admittedly, but the rooms do not overlook it.
The section continues with a brief look at Zurich's top ten attractions. I was able to see five of them in twenty-four hours, namely Lake Zurich, the Bahnhofstrasse, the Fraumunster, the Grossmunster and Niederdorf. I would gladly have swapped ...
