Advantages: Hilarious, touching and well-acted
Disadvantages: Maybe a bit of a predictable message

...and everything in between! The only problem is – where’s Olive?! Let’s get straight to the point – Little Miss Sunshine is probably the funniest film of 2006, and one of the best I’ve seen overall. It’s the kind of film that makes you laugh and go “aww”, but at the same time has moments of real emotion, and doesn’t shy away from the darker side of life. The tone can sometimes change surprisingly quickly, but it’s always done smoothly. It’s quite satirical towards America’s obsession with “winners” and “losers”, and it’s a comedy with a serious message. Saying that, though, the film just moves from one hilarious situation to the next, as well as having some funny running jokes, such as the way they all have to push the van then run and jump into it. The Oscar-winning screenplay is excellent, full of sarcastic one-liners from Frank and granddad... Read review

Advantages: Will last for ages
Disadvantages: Can get a bit boring

...This is the first harvest moon game I have ever played and I have to say I love it. When I first brought it I was a bit worried that it would get boring but I was pleasantly surprised. Harvest Moon A Wonderful Life is a nice little role playing game. It has no violence, shooting or other nasty stuff. You don't have to complete annoying missions to build and stats or moves. Instead your a farmer. You have to grow fruit and vegetables. When you buy some cows you will be able to milk them and either sell it or keep it. The same with chickens. You can collect the eggs and choose whether to allow it to hatch, sell it or use it to make your own food. If you buy a sheep, depending on how well you keep it, you will get qualty wool which can be sold. Finally you can catch fish and sell them or eat. You can also buy a goat or horse... Read review

Advantages: ermmm, I get to read a lot
Disadvantages: travelling

...A day in the life of little old me (Alarm clock sound effect). What? Is it 6:30am already? Do I have to get up? Grumble, grumble, grumble. I am NOT a morning person, in fact, I have never been a morning person. But I’m digressing … It’s time to get ready for work. I have a quick shower and go downstairs for some cereal and to prepare my lunch (Bag of crisps and sandwich using homemade bread, yummy). After breakfast, brush my teeth, put my contact lenses on (is this too much information? I don’t know) and get dressed. It’s usually smart casual, except for Fridays, of course. Once ready (usually around 7:20ish), I grab my laptop, leave the house and head for the train station. Get there about 10 minutes and where do I head to first …. the ticket counter? No, I’ve a season ticket … the espresso bar, of course! Greet the barista... Read review

Advantages: Freedom from the Buggy, Very Adjustable
Disadvantages: Hard to try out, Expensive

...**************** Littlelife Explorer Child Carrier **************** Child carriers are a nifty little invention which allow you to carry your child around on your back - hopefully in relative comfort. They are very similar to normal backpacks in their variability in cost, size and design. We have always enjoyed walking, usually just long ambles around the English countryside, but occasionally we have tackled mountains as well. We didn't want to limit ourselves to pushchair friendly walking when our little one arrived so we looked into child carriers as soon as she was old enough to sit in one comfortably (this is probably around six months). Now I don't want to scare you off baby backpacks altogether, but buying one is not a job for anyone lacking in persistence or stamina. Before I get into details about the one we chose here...

Advantages: Aborbant, small for packing
Disadvantages: a bit small

...rough towels from yester year. Now like all products there are of course the downsides, although they aren't that numerous with this towel. 1. It is very small which at first is an asset but when you come to dry yourself can pose a bit of an embarassment! 2. If a towel can be stylish this one is not - it contains no pictures of famo
