Advantages: Well paced Disadvantages: Unrealistic ending
was little depth. What disappointed me most was the ending, which seemed unlikely and unsatisfying and didn?t seem in keeping with much that had gone before.
This isn?t a bad read, perfect for a time when you don?t want to concentrate too hard on things. But like the alcohol which provides most of Dury?s calorific intake, it may be filling for a while but you find yourself wanting and needing a little bit more. ??Gutted?? is entertaining enough, but despite the occasional nice touch on show, there is better available.

Day 1: Monday
I arrived at the port in Southampton around 2 o'clock and the first thing that hit me was just how amazing ...
Advantages: Pretty smell, different from the rest! Disadvantages: Not as strong as the rest so doesn't stay for as long!

I got this perfume in a Collector?s Edition pack of 5 Escada Perfumes; Island kiss, Rockin? Rio, Pacific Paradise, Sunset Heat and Ibiza Hippie.
I first heard of Escada when I bought Pacific Paradise on the Ferry on the way to Italy, from then on the smell always reminded me of that holiday, and became one of my favourite perfumes. So when I saw this pack for £12.50 for 5 small bottles (4ml each), I just had to buy them to try them all, so I could choose my favourite one!
And I must say they were all delicious! With such strong fruity smells which stuck around all day, my only problem was there wasn?t enough of it in the bottles, and I tended to use half a bottle each time I used it!
