A Taste for Baroque-Duo al Dente

Advantages: Read Opp
Disadvantages: Price

...This review is about my time at the magnificent and luxury hotel the Burj Al Arab. I was lucky enough to spend two nights at this hotel during New Years Eve and New Years day 2008/2009. I had a friend who?s dad did a tone of import export business and thus I even managed to stay their for free, yes that?s right for free, under the condition that I paid for all my own food, and drink, which I was more than happy to at the time. Now everyone has either heard about this hotel, been their or at least seen the pictures of what it looks like, and let me tell you its even more breathtaking in real life. This review will hopefully give you an insight into the hotel, information regarding all the rooms in particular the one I stayed in, what the facilities are like, what the food and bar is like as well as the service provided by the hotel...

...Following a rather mediocre experience last winter with a strangely watery four pack of Mr H's spaghetti hoops, I eyed with trepidation the can of Tesco value short cut spaghetti in its spartan-yet-somehow-smart red,white & blue uniform, leaning dejectedly in that manner that only a dented tin can can, if you see what I mean. 4p or not 4p I mused. With a sense of now or never and over the top lads, the tin leapt into my basket and nestled unobtrusively amongst goods of purportedly higher quality to the checkout, although it stubbornly refused to stand to attention with its troop members along the conveyor belt. A few rumblings of my tummy later the heated spaghetti sat in a surprisingly thick heap on hot buttered toast.Within moments, nostalgic thoughts of a tomatoey childhood treat convinced me to make a mental note to pick up...

...Most people are surprised when they hear about my musical tastes. Most see me as someone purely into heavy metal, my friends as heavy metal and clasic rock, but even my very close friends don't seem to understand how far my taste goes. I have always loved every type of metal and some rap and dance but it is only recently when i discovered the wonders of 70's Soul and funk. The first time i heard Al Green was on Pulp Fiction with the song "Let's stay together". I loved the song from the first time i heard it but never looked into it until i bought the movie soundtrack, since then i have been searching Al Green in youtube and discovering all sorts of other great music. I have always been into laid back songs and have often skipped through albums to find that one slow love song. With this collection you get some of the best of Al green... Read review
