Wake UP Wake UP!!!

Advantages: Central hostel
Disadvantages: Don't get much sleep

The Wake Up Hostel had been recommended to me by my friends at Gap Year.com. I booked my bed well in advance as I was spending my 2 weeks in Sydney over Christmas and New Year. I have to say I was very pleased with the price over this festive period as a lot of other hostels and accommodation decided to bump up prices and take advantage of the stranded unorganised backpackers. PRICES: 10 bed dorm $28 a night, 8 bed dorm $30 a night, 6 bed dorm $34 a night and 4 bed dorm $36 a night. ROOMS: I have to say my first impressions where not great, I walked into the room and gasped! Not an inch of floor space could be seen, I didn't even have room to put my bag down. Rubbish was everywhere, I suppose for 14 bed dorm it was to be expected but I have to admit it was quite a shock. I decided to go down to reception and say ...

Review of Wake Up! Sydney Central - Youth Hostels, Sydney

A Lemon Wake Up Call

Advantages: Good value for money, foams up well
Disadvantages: Smell not as good as others in range

Recently when shopping for shower gels I saw that Tesco was doing an offer on Imperial Leather shower gels where you could get 4 for £3, they normally sell at £1 each so it?s a good offer. Never one to resist a bargain I choose four different varieties and have been slowly working my way through them. The current one in my bathroom is the Imperial Leather Wake Up Shower Gel. This is meant to be an invigorating scent to get you going in the morning and is Bitter Lemon and Ginger. The shower gel comes in a wavy clear bottle which allows you to see the lovely yellow shower gel and see when it is getting low. The bottle has a yellow flip open lid to easily dispense the shower gel and it holds 250ml. The gel has bitter lemon which they say is a fresh and zingy detoxifier enriched with Vitamin C. Not sure that any of that vitamin C ...

Review of Imperial Leather Wake Up Shower Gel

Waking up with Wogan

Advantages: entertaining
Disadvantages: terry has a lot of holidays

There's only one man who can wake me up at 7:30 in the morning and not expect to get a smack in the mouth(!) and Terry Wogan is the man for the job. From Monday to Friday you can expect to hear Terrys irish tones warming up for the total of 2 hours as he talks about pretty much anything. Throughout that time Terry and his fellow 'underlings or numpties' read out emails and answer phonecalls from listeners. They always seem to use fake names, this morning there was a 'bearded bandit' commenting about heavy traffic in some place. There is also news and traffic bulletins every half hour and the usual banter being thrown about all over the place. There are two main newsreaders which he appears to get on with the most, Alan Dedicoat and Fran Godfrey and then there's another lady known as The Traffic Totty, Lynn Bowles. These people aren ...
