Advantages: It's the best Harry Potter score yet - deeper, darker and inspired!
Disadvantages: Where have the old themes gone??

...When Warner Bros announced that John Williams was to take on the composition of the score for “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” (“Sorcerer’s Stone” for any Americans reading) I knew they had made the right decision. I was studying Music at the time and, I will admit without shame, had discussed this at great length with a few other students beforehand. We agreed that it would ‘have’ to be John Williams – the King of Memorable/Cheesy/Inspirational film scores that most have ingrained in the back of their minds. Who could forget the menacing Imperial March as Darth Vader marched into the corridor in “A New Hope”? I think I spent half my childhood running around pretending to be Indiana Jones (accompanied by the famous theme, of course). I heard the score to the Philosopher’s Stone in fragments on the radio...

Advantages: Breath-taking views, extremely friendly people
Disadvantages: None that I found...

...70mph and don't stop on the way. For anyone who cares we went via the M40, M6, A74, M74, M73, M8 and A82. My husband and I left on a Sunday morning at around 9 a.m. as we'd been to a friend's 30th birthday party the night before and our intended 7 a.m. start got a bit delayed… We stopped a couple of times along the way for a bite to eat and to stretch our legs. I took a few pictures en route to Scotland as I found the scenery breath-taking. As we were taking turns driving, obviously, I only took pictures when HE was driving LOL… Makes sense eh? We arrived at our B&B eventually at about 7pm, 11 hours after we'd left London. Fort William is a town at the foot of Ben Nevis by the shore of Loch Linnhe, which is a deep sea loch. With a population of around 12,000 people Fort William offers most necessary services for residents and visitors... Read review

Advantages: Erm.............things can only get better!!!
Disadvantages: Many of the tracks are poor

...As I start this review I have to make it clear that I am a Robbie Williams fan. My better half and I saw him live in Paris last year and it was, undoubtedly, the finest 2 hours of live entertainment and showmanship that I have ever seen. He is, without question, the finest performer and "popstar" that the UK has produced in the last twenty years, building a career on musicality, pop songs and performance, which is why "Rudebox" seems to have been a genuinely bad idea!! It's a departure into electro-pop, hip-hop and rap that is as unwelcome as it is unconvincing, and I worry that Robbie is starting to sink with his demons again! It is backed up with unusual images of Robbie in tracksuits, staring at us with hip-hop "attitude". The Background Robbie Williams' meteoric rise to stardom with Take That, the apparent acrimony behind... Read review

Advantages: Handling & Performance, Reliable & Robust, Easy Maintenance
Disadvantages: Drink lots of oil, Bodywork deterioration, Price of parts

...I had a Clio Williams from 1998 to 2001, and I have to say that this is one of the best cars I have ever driven. I bought the car in 98 with 102,000 on the clock for £10k - that was cheap then, as most were going for in excess of £12k. I knew I would put a lot of miles on the clock, so didn't mind that it had already covered so many - at least I knew it hadn't been clocked! At 100k it had worn well, a few stone chips on the front - to be expected, but the engine sounded like new, and it had a full service history - meticulously maintained. In the time I had it, the car got seriously abused. It is a drivers car - handles like it's on rails, and has good accelleration too - although you need to rev it hard to get the best out of it. My other car was an Escort Cosworth, and while the clio was not as quick as the cossie, it handled... Read review
