Advantages: That Caribbean atmosphere. Disadvantages: Stinking hangovers!
There's a lovely story attached to the origins of Tia Maria, all about Jamaica during the Colonial Wars, fleeing noblewomen, black pearl earrings and a secret family recipe. You can read it on their website (http://www.tiamaria.co.uk) if, like me, you like to know the folklore and stories behind the things that you buy. The website will also tell you how this famous liqueur is made and the process sounds equally romantic: coffee beans grown in the foothills of the Jamaican Blue Mountain range are gathered, cracked, and mixed with vanilla and sugar and alcohol then bottled and sold to those of us who love to savour a little bit of the taste and the atmosphere of a lazy Caribbean holiday whenever we can. Otherwise, I'm afraid, the website is a little dull with some rather unadventurous cocktail suggestions and a design in similar rich ...

Advantages: It's gorgeous, it'a alcoholic, it's a sweet, luxurious liqueur.. Disadvantages: Too expensive!
This has got to be my favourite drink in the world. And to use an American expression that I think rather fitting....Period. It's fantastic, I could rave on about it using all sorts of adjectives. but that's not going to get me a high rating, nor particularly inform you guys. :P
As described on the rather lovely packaging, this drink is 'uniquely dark and intriguing' and I've got to agree. Tia Maria is a dark rum and while it looks like it could be quite dry, it's got a deliciously sweet coffee/vanilla taste to it that is so moreish. Pour it into a glass and you'll see a thick, dark coloured, wonderful-smelling liquid come out. Put the glass to your lips and inhale the vanilla/coffee smell. Sip it slowly and taste the luxurious pleasure that is Tia Maria. I can't describe the taste, I wouldn't do it justice.
It's26.5% volume ...

Advantages: Fast moving, adventurous Disadvantages: More plot-driven rather than character-driven, unlike the book in this aspect
The Outsiders: This film is based on a book with the same title, written by S.E. Hinton. Although in terms of storyline, the film does follow the book, the book develops the relationship between the characters to a greater degree, and in doing so, makes the strengths and weaknesses of each character more evident, and perhaps also more likeable. The film is more plot-driven than character-driven, and therefore in this way differs from the book. As both a reader and a viewer, I preferred the book, as you get a greater understanding of the characters, and they become more likeable to the reader, however the film is an interesting watch.
Plot: The film is based around a group of boys named the greasers, with the narrator of the film being Ponyboy, a boy who was orphaned at a young age, and has been brought up by his two brothers, Sodapop ...
