Zero Tolerance - Attila The Stockbroker's Barnstormers

Advantages: Lovely taste and no sugar.
Disadvantages: None

...I've recently seen adverts on telly of Coca Cola Zero. My friend was given a free can of this the other day outside Woolworth's and he enjoyed it. After seeing the adverts and my friend saying he enjoyed it, I thought I'd give it a shot. So, in whilst shopping in Asda today I noticed these on the checkout so picked a bottle of it up. I paid £.0.88p for a 500ml bottle of it. PACKAGING ~~~~~~~~~~ The coke comes in a clear plastic bottle with a red screw top. The label has the famous Coca Cola name on it in red lettering with the word Zero under it in white. The labelling is predominantly black with white smattering on it. In small letters on the front is says 'great coke tast - zero sugar'. On the other side are the ingredients, nutritional information is the contact information and website address. I like the look...

Advantages: Good if you're not bothered about historical accuracy.
Disadvantages: Completely Caucasian Huns.

...As a fictionalized version of the Attila saga, I would say that this movie is passable. True, historical accuracy goes out the window. Better if an Asiatic actor was chosen for the role of Attila, like Sergei Bodrov did by picking Tadanobu Asano to play Genghis. Instead we have a lamentable Hollywood history of white men feebly adapted. In the older version of Attila (Sign of the Pagan) the part was played tolerably well by Jack Palance, but with the usual dodgy history. And what screwball figured on John Wayne to play Genghis? Charles Bronson would have been great in either of these roles, as he at least had that rugged Mongolian looking appearance, especially with the eyes and moustache. So why pick guys like Gerard Butler to play Asiatic warlords? Butler is a good actor, but best in European roles please. I did enjoy this film, but I... Read review

Advantages: interesting range of styles and clever lyrics
Disadvantages: too challenging for many in this Robbie Williams driven world

.... The mix of these older sounds mixes with the modern electric bass sounds and a recorder and Barnstormer reveal one the more unusual side to their work. This instrumental number is followed by a second and by now you could be forgiven for thinking that you had been conned into buying a Baroque pub band time shifted from the Goose and Gridiron or the Mermaid Tavern or one of those historical drinking dens. But just when you are getting to grips with this style, the pace has moved up a notch and the violin is carrying an upbeat jig, Barnstormer do the unexpected, they present us with something more normal. The historical is put away and a semi-punk rock song appears on the scene, The Blandford Forum. Everyone is back on their familiar ground. The Fish Brothers contingent is playing punk and Attila is waxing lyrical about the political state of his... Read review
