Advantages: Easy to read, some interesting tales Disadvantages: It's not really an autobiography, and can be a bit confusing
Having finished reading Jordan's un-review-worthy autobiography (yes I know - but it was only 25p) I searched my desk drawer for the next book to read and thought I'd continue with another autobiography. I bought "TooMany Mothers" by Roberta Taylor from the charity booklist at work for 25p, not bad at all for a pretty much brand new hardback book (although I have to say I don't like hardback books on the train).

Advantages: Awe inspiring Ska Disadvantages: Only 8 tracks
of the UK's coolest bands with their super mega chilled out grooves that will get inside your head and stay there for months. Pama are not the sort of the band that you are going to be forgetting in a hurry - tunes like these stay with you forever and will constantly be playing on your mind. There is so much to take from the music of this band that you have to listen to this album many times before you can even begin to understand where the band are coming from and what they are trying to do. In a world of average, poorly skilled Ska bands - Pama International are a shining light, and will hopefully show the way for Ska bands of the future with this album. You can buy the CD now from the website http://www.inflammablematerial.co.uk/catalog/productinfo.php/productsid/66934 for £9.99 - this is well advised.

Advantages: Looks very Christmassy, Well Directed Disadvantages: The people look creepy
snow scape and the manyChristmas carols that make up the soundtrack for the film as well as the inherent Christmas-ness that comes with the Christmas Carol story. Maybe it?s too early because I did feel it lacked a little something, early November is not near Christmas no matter how manyChristmas trees Tesco puts up.
Of Importance
In can?t really think of anything too facetious to say about this film except for the fact that the characters of Dick and Fanny were introduced far too closely together so when the first just rises a crude smile the second brings a laugh.
Scrooge is very politely spoken for an angry dude. I mean the most aggressive he gets is ?Bah humbug? and saying ?I said ?Good-day, sir?? loudly and repeatedly. Where?s the bad language Walt?
