Advantages: Interesting Disadvantages: Not enough of the "old" history of the East end
East End Through The Ages is a Green Umbrella release. The video is a production by the famous and somewhat controversial actor, playwright, film star and director, Steven Berkoff.
Why? Because Steven Berkoff is an east Ender and he returns to the place of his birth to tell its fascinating and exciting story.
He describes the East End as the stomach of London, with the limbs of London, as it were, taking the "food" that is brought in from the stomach. It is a somewhat strained metaphor, but I think I can understand where Berkoff is coming from on that one. Though his attempt to explain that the East end has become tired of being the stomach and wants to grow into a head, is an analogy too far. As with many places, I would contend that the East End is changing not because it particularly wants to, but because other people are ...

Advantages: This doesn't have room, this has aircraft hangars. Great iPod Disadvantages: Few small problems, nothing major though
Why would you want to have so much memory inside your MP3 player you might ask, well, why not? Before I purchased the 160GB iPod Classic, I owned a 256mb Goodmans MP3 player, which only held 30-40 songs. I then was given a 2GB iPod Nano for my birthday and I thought that 2GB was a lot considering I didn't really have much music on my computer at the time. But as I started downloading music and buying more CD's, I started to acquire a lot of tracks that would require a lot of space. Then I had so much, it was quite a task trying to sift out 2GB of music worthy enough to go onto my iPod. Then I started downloading U2 bootlegs at 100MB (approx.) a show and this was the final straw, I was in need of a bigger capacity MP3 player.
So, after much thought and the release of the new iPod Classics at the time I decided upon the Classic ...
