Advantages: Very readable, enjoyable, imaginative, contains some sensible & good philosophies Disadvantages: The modern versions of the books are altered to make them politically correct
The set of Malory Towers books was written by Enid Blyton during the post-WW2 part of the 1940s?.I think the final one may have spilled over into 1950. They tell the story of pupil Darrel Rivers? time at the school, from her very first day as a 13-year-old, through to her last, when she leaves at age 18.
I read my first Enid Blyton Malory Towers book when I was aged about 9. We?d had a bring & buy sale at my primary school as an end of term activity, and I managed to cop a paperback edition of the 3rd book in the series for the grand sum of one old halfpenny! Later in the evening when at home and in bed (I was supposed to be asleep), I began to read Third Year At Malory Towers, and just couldn?t put the book down ? I read it from cover to cover that night, in secret by torchlight under the blankets, and the next day my mother ...
Advantages: A Classic Comedy/Drama. Disadvantages: None to speak of.
Terms of Endearment was released in 1983, a Comedy/Drama classic which took cinema goers by storm largely due to the remarkable pairing of two brilliant people, Jack Nicholson and Shirley MacLaine an unlikely couple by any stretch of the imagination. The strong casting and inspired screenplay turned the novel by Larry McMutry into the Oscar-winning best film of the year and became a cinema legend.
Synopsis
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Aurora Greenway (Shirley MacLaine) is the over-possessive widowed mother of Emma (Debra Winger), their thirty-year relationship a stormy one. When Emma marries the feckless Flap Horton against her mother's wishes and moves away to live in near-poverty with two small sons Aurora is left alone in her large lavish house with an obnoxious neighbour Garrett Breedlove (Jack Nicholson) constantly annoying her. Garrett is ...
Advantages: Style, excellent service, great location Disadvantages: Too many tourists
The only problem with The Ritz is that being such a landmark it does attract a bizarre mixture of people.
The Rivoli Bar is perhaps a bit kitsch for some, decorated with much gold and glitz, but The Palm Court and adjoining lounge bar are sophistication in themselves and ideal places to take elderly relatives to tea or for drinks with clients/friends.
The restaurant offers the best of British in terms of a traditional menu and the room is spectacular. Surprisingly, they often offer great deals on lunch so don't think that it is only a place to go when on an expense account.
Rooms are excellent and of the high standard one would expect of a hotel of this calibre. Prices are high, but for that you do get the best.
The service is impeccable, the staff excellent and their attentive yet discrete manner is most impressive ...
