Advantages: Lots of bangers Disadvantages: Nothing specific
The Southampton R&B singer Craig David debuted with his album ?Born To DoIt? in 2000, shortly after his time spent collaborating with the 2-Step Garage group Artful Dodger, and so although this has him doing contemporary R&B work, it also features him on up-tempo beats which fit in with the urban raving movement of Garage at this time (the peak of its success).
1. ?Fill Me In?
The album fittingly begins with what was his debut solo single, and since everyone knew him most for ?Rewind?, which features as a bonus at the end of the album, he has things begin in a similar sort of fashion with a 2-Step song on top of beats from Artful Dodger as he sings about how he and his girl get up to the nasty as his partner?s parents go out.
**Five Stars**
2. ?Can?t Be Messing Around?
To me, Artful Dodger?s way of constructing the beats always ...
Advantages: Local to me, Easily accessible Disadvantages: Lack of stock consistency between stores
Having moved into our first house a year ago we were struck with the inclination to do something to it. A house that looked good on the surface gradually transformed into some sort of monster that needed a lot of work to make it to our tastes. Coupled with the fact that the previous owner could have been a contestant on DIY SOS we decided that our home form home would be the local DIY shop.

You can hardly fail to miss Focus if you are driving past with it?s garish Blue and Yellow corporate colour scheme, if I were you I would take the time to drop in ...
Advantages: Serves as a good reminder, inspiring Disadvantages: leaves a few questions
Anyone Can DoIt serves as a good interesting insight into Duncan Bannatyne's rags to riches story and gives a fair degree of inspiration to anyone struggling to find their own pot of gold.
Just like Duncan Bannatyne himself its a straight talking narrative that does exactly what it says on the front cover. The book gives an account of how Bannatyne fought tooth and nail to overcome unemployment and a navy court martial to turn one ice cream van into a multi million pound organisation including a chain of health clubs, nursing homes and an impressive list of other companies to boot. Bannatyne's account gives a great insight into his early life in Scotland and the variety of trial and error style escapades in his businesses. There is less of an insight into the personality and dragon of today.
Without any disrepect to Mr Bannatyne ...
