Advantages: lovely rooms, great food, good location, easily accessible Disadvantages: could be noisy at night
This week I stayed at the Holiday Inn Camden Lock for three nights while I was in London for work. My only previous trips to London have had me staying in the ExCel Novotel in Docklands so this was a new experience for me.
LOCATION
The hotel is located in Camden, next to (predictably!) Camden Lock. It is about a five minute walk from Camden Town tube station, which makes it fairly convenient if you?re having to use public transport to reach it. The website states that the hotel is also outwith the congestion zone, which I guess means you could drive down to the hotel and then use it as a base to get elsewhere using the tube or buses. (Although its worth noting that the website also states the car parking facility is 1km away!)
As it is right off the main street, it is very handy for all the shops, restaurants and bars too. Which ...
Advantages: Locks cases Disadvantages: Not high security
Antler combination lock
On a recent foray abroad, I decided that it was about time I started locking my trusty holdall.. just because it has served me well for about 20years, doesn?t mean that it will always remain tightly shut when I get it off that carousel.

~~Product and Packaging~~
My combination lock is in orange, but I have seen the blue ones for sale.
These type of locks are for zipped cases?ones which have zips which join together and can be fastened I assume.
It is about 5cm in length and has 3 small dials at the side with a metal hook like contraption which snaps closed like other ...
Advantages: One of Stallone's "Better" Performances, The Score, Cast, Brutal Action Disadvantages: Predictable, Unrealistic
How much can a man take?, how far can he be pushed before he fights back? This is the premise of Lock Up: a jailhouse battle of wills movie that attempts to portray the harsh realities of the justice system, with enough blood and machoism to feed your blood thirst.
Lock Up is perhaps a brutal version of Rocky: set in the very real Rahway Prison, East Jersey, Stallone plays the emotional nice guy Frank Leone who only wants to do the time for escaping his previous sentence to see his dying step dad. Unfortunately, the warden Drumgoole (Donald Sutherland) has other ideas: dragging Leone from his cell in the middle of night and transferring him to his maximum security prison, where he proceeds to beat him senseless via his corrupt dealings with the bad boy inmates.
With little interest at the time of its release, Lock Up was lost ...
