Advantages: Good story Disadvantages: I wish I stopped watching at the end of the first hour.
fiancée is only the 29th on the list and the list keeps on going to 101. Yapp, that?s the number it the film?s title.
Roderick has a bachelor party where instead of enjoying the party he tries to find out who sent the list and who knows such intimate details of his sexual life. He is closed in a room with the stripper girl and they are talking, occasionally crying out loud as if they had sex. After a refusal finally they end up making love. Turned out that the stripper?s real name was Carlotta Valdez and she was exactly the 30th on the list. Roderick admitted his infidelities to Fiona and told her about the list. Can Fiona live together with the thought that there are 71 women waiting for Roderick to make love to them?

I think it wasn?t a bad film. It was about average. It was promising in the beginning because ...
Advantages: Excellent backing tracks, competent vocals, a couple of strong pop hits Disadvantages: Not much in the way of soul, some dull tracks, all rather dated now

The UK arm of the label focused mainly on commercial pop and the Pearls fitted into this perfectly. Interestingly the US arm tended to focus more on soul music.
A String of Pearls
Going back to my dad?s old Sanyo radio cassette recorder there was a song which was oft played by myself back in 1974 called ?Guilty?. Performed by the Pearls I loved it and have vague recollections of a Top of the Pops performance which incorporated judges? wigs. I have hunted high and low for this clip on the internet and sadly can only conclude it was ...
Advantages: Get to have a moan Disadvantages: none
After reading a few reviews on what people would like to put in room 101 I decided that I would see what 10 things I would put in there.
Badly behaved kids - This has to be my absolute number one for room 101, I was always brought up to be respectful to adults, to say please and thank you and to never give a adult back chat so why is it these days some kids just have no respect what so ever, I mean is it so hard to knock on someone's door and say "excuse me I'm sorry but we have just kicked our ball into your garden, could we have it back please", I would much prefer that than them climbing over the wall onto my garden shed & stamping on my plants and then being mouthy and swearing when I ask them not to do it again.
People who stay in the middle lane when not overtaking - This drives me nuts, you can guarantee that every time you go ...
