Don't Laugh At Me - Norman Wisdom

Don't Laugh At Me Cause I Am A Reviewer.

Advantages: Buy this to listen to TWO great nostalgic songs.
Disadvantages: There are 20 awful songs as well!

There are celebrities, there are stars and then there are legends. Sir Norman Wisdom, 94 years young as I write this review, is most certainly an entertainment legend in his own lifetime. Like many British entertainers of the 1940s and 50s he was multi talented and could do just about anything brilliantly from comedy to acting to dancing to writing to singing. I am not going to pretend that this 22 track 1CD album is a breathtaking masterpiece of post war crooning but I will say that his signature tune which is track 1 "Don't Laugh At Me (Cause I'm A Fool)" is worth the whole purchase price alone. Track 22, "Me And My Gal" is also very good.

Review of Very Best Of Norman Wisdom, The - Norman Wisdom

Please don't give up on him

Advantages: The voice
Disadvantages: None

**Introduction** As a fan of Soul music One of my favourite artists has got to be the legendary soul singer Solomon Burke, With a voice as big as his build Burke is regarded as one of the greatest singers of all time by fans, critics and fellow performers alike. This album is made up of songs written by some of his biggest admirers in the music industry. All the songs were written especially for Solomon Burke and this album Don't Give Up On Me. A diverse range of artists wrote songs for this album including the likes of Tom Waits, Van Morrison, Brian Wilson, Bob Dylan and Elvis Costello aswell as the album's producer Joe Henry who wrote the song "Flesh and Blood". Some well known songwriters there but will the album work well or not. well here are my thoughts. **Don't Give Up On Me** 1 Don't Give Up On Me This is a superb ...

Review of Don't Give Up On Me - Solomon Burke

The bible for usability (Don't Make Me Think! - Steve Krug)

Advantages: Full of seemingly obvious pointers
Disadvantages: Steve Krug isn't in my team

Don't Make Me Think! - Steve Krug is sub-titled "A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability", but it's much more than that. The principals can be applied to many other areas where you expect s 'user' to be able to use something. So, if you are interested in User Interfaces, whether website, computer program or even beyond that into the tactile world of devices, then this book is a must-read for you. If you actually design Websites and/or User Interfaces and you *haven't* read this book, then WHY NOT? Steve Krug is a legend in operability and once you've gone through this book you will understand why. It's a practical, no nonsense guide to what you should and shouldn't do to make it easy for visitors to your site. Written in a very matter-of-fact manner, it is an easy and quick read. I found it hard to put down and learned a lot from ...
