Advantages: They're all cute and cuddly...
Disadvantages: You might not think so!

...toy bat which had a zip up the front, where you could zip the wings together. 3. Meerkats Like many other people, I first became aware of meerkats by watching a wildlife documentary (which I still have on tape somewhere). They are desert animals, part of the rodent family – which must be my favourite animal family, as I like pretty much all rodents. They organise themselves into groups with lookouts, carers and so on. When they are on guard, they stand on tiptoe and look extremely cute. They can also be quite vicious too, I remember footage of them fighting scorpions and spiders (two animals you won’t find on my list!). They had some meerkats at Marwell Zoo for a while and I know there are some at Longleat too. They are fascinating animals, as well as having that all-important cute factor. 4. Rats Another...

...gonna be good if you like hip-hop. The album also has appearances from Mary.J.Blidge,Nate Dogg,Busta Rhymes,Tony Yayo,Faith Evans and Marsha of Floetry, as i allready said The Game has had more than a little help on his debut album!

Advantages: Great beats and production
Disadvantages: too many guest spots ??

...The Games debut album 'The Documentary' is brilliant. Almost every song on the album can be listened to over and over again, and I know this is not just my opinion. At least 5 songs from this album have been released as singles and all have held their own, most notably the breakthrough single 'How We Do' which really opened the door for the Games success. The only worry about the album though is similar to that of Obie Trice following his debut album 'Cheers'; has its success come from the big names and producers involved? Production from Dre, Eminem and 50 including a lot of features provides some excellent songs but it doesn't show off the Game himself. Anyway whatever the reason for why this album is so good is besides the point I would recommend this album to anyone. 1.: Intro 2.: Westside Story - Game & 50 Cent Great beat... Read review

Advantages: 10 Documentaries that you surely dont want to miss; there is a variety to choose from
Disadvantages: some may be too much for some to take

...become the primary home for many of these films. You can catch a documentary on everything from WW2 to Steven Spielberg to the cobra snakes of Mongolia. In this review, I would like to present to all of you my choices for the 10 Best Documentaries of all time, including some honorable mentions. While I'm sure you have heard of many of them, you probably haven't seen the majority of them. However, let me know what you think if you would in your comments. Hope you enjoy them, and I will back soon with another movie review.

Advantages: Superb look at troubled youth, excellent performances, a young Michael J. Fox
Disadvantages: Violent, brutal, and sometimes quite unpleasant

...Stegman and his gang to the police, but things go awry in more ways than one…and the once peaceful, committed educator soon finds himself in a battle of wits against Stegman, who proceeds to terrorize him. ************************************************************* AN UNFLINCHING LOOK AT TROUBLED YOUTH ************************************************************* I will make it clear off the bat that this film is not for everyone's taste, though I believe it is truly a potent depiction of a genuine problem: violence in the school system. What's scary is that is getting worse year after year, as we all know. I will admit that CLASS OF 1984 is very tough to take at times, with scenes that are too unpleasant (like when the gang kills all of Mr. Corrigan's lab animals) for some viewers; but I have to say that I was rooting for Mr...

Advantages: I like them all.
Disadvantages: Most of the time.

...I love animals and have enjoyed reading reviews lately of top 10 animals. I was surprised how difficult it was to think of 10 animals that I could consider my favourites. It is an enjoyable thing to write about though, and much more interesting than writing about 10 things about me. I am more of an outdoor animal type but that doesn`t mean that I don`t like pets so it is a bit of a mixture. At the bottom:- 10 Budgies. * * * * * * * * At the bottom of the list at number 10 are budgies. I know they are birds not animals but I still counted them. I have 2 budgies at home so I couldn`t really not include them. One is yellow and one blue. Budgies are quite nice to look at in their different colours. They are alright but I am not really keen on having birds in the house. We really got them for when my son was younger... Read review

Advantages: get close up and personal with the animals
Disadvantages: none at all

...has just vacated with any problems. There is a short incline from the car park to the main entrance with a couple of booths where you can part with your hard earned cash to enter the park. Current prices are GBP 10.50 per adult and GBP7.00 per child with a guide book and map priced at GBP2.00 which I would recommend getting as it is a glossy book with 100 pages and contains all feeding times for the animals as well as a easy to read map. The guide book also contains full details of what the park is about. The Park itself is committed to conservation of animals both in the park and outside the park and is home to two international charities, the Sumatran Tiger Trust and the Wildlife Protection Foundation and a huge amount of information can be found in the guide book , on the park or on the internet both via the Parks own website...

Advantages: It's different
Disadvantages: Vegetarians might not like it, and it's a bit long...

...I thought that I would write something a bit different for my anniversary of a year at Ciao. Although my first review was 23rd November, my account shows I joined on 15th November. I was considering a "My Ciao'ing" review and talking about how Ciao has changed my life and made me millions…but decided that can wait for another special occasion (aren't you the lucky ones?!) I have never done a top ten review before, but came across a member's review on their favourite animals earlier this month, and then I thought, hang on a minute, I bet my top 10 animals are different from anyone else's! As you will see from my choices, it is not as simple as saying I prefer rabbits to rats because they are cuter and more fluffy (although incidentally I think that rabbits are more cute and fluffy than rats). In fact, some of the choices I... Read review

Advantages: I tried!
Disadvantages: So many albums so limited number!

...I once got a call on the phone to participate in a survey. I would be paid $50(circa 35GBP) at the end of the experim...er...ah...survey. We all met at a conferance room at a hotel. There were about 200 of us. Truckers, bikers, executives, blind people, unemployed, etc. we all came together for that $50 in 2 hour deal! It was a marketing group that was conducting a survey for a local Adult/Contemporary radio station. Their audience was the 25-40ish crowds, at the time. They wanted us to hear a segment of a song, and rate it on a scale of 1-5, as to what we think of it now!!! You see, I may have loved Stairway to Heaven when it came out, but after playing it 1 million times to the fifth power, I may not care for it today! If you are under 30, give this review a couple of years!!! My point is as you age, there are to many favorite... Read review
