Around the world in more than eighty ways

Tue, 20 Aug 2002 15:38:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Juliejules - … Well, maybe not the world but Europe is at least a good start isn’t it? And seen as I'm European English it gives YOU the perfect excuse to forgive my European (as opposed to American) English, doesn't it?

Anyway, I’ve chosen to review...

Don't bite her hand - SHE FEEDS

Mon, 27 May 2002 17:53:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Juliejules - And boy! – doesn’t she feed well (London lass compliments London lass)?!

The sheer fact that I have decided to review a cookbook at this moment in time says something about (the state of) my life, my mental health and my appetite. Within...

Er, do you really, really love snow?

Fri, 26 Oct 2001 08:09:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Juliejules - After recently talking with one of my Canadian friends, I thought of re-visiting Canada during my November week off. I was lucky enough to spend the year abroad of my degree studying at Université Laval in Québec City (I'm a Brit myself) so it’s a region...

What a gal! - Kirsty you were a good lass!

Sat, 11 Aug 2001 11:26:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Juliejules - It made me genuinely sad last year when I heard that Kirsty MacColl had died in a tragic water incident in Mexico.

I loved and still love all of Kirsty’s work and to say that she was a magical entertainer would be a ridiculous and unimportant...

First time in London? - Well read this won't you?!

Fri, 10 Aug 2001 15:26:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Juliejules - I get really excited when people I know from afar are visiting London because I can chat-on and suggest things for them to do.

I’m not actually ‘from’ London. I’m not a ‘real’ Londoner – just an honorary one who has probably spent too much...

How shall I describe thee ...?

Thu, 9 Aug 2001 20:33:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Juliejules - Let me tell you something old and new. I just love Venice. I really do.

The first time I visited, I was sixteen years old, but what can you appreciate at that age. Maybe just the ice cream, if that, and let’s face it there are other ice...

Kiss me quick but Squeeze me slower - Tilbrook rules O.K!

Thu, 9 Aug 2001 14:23:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Juliejules - Remember then? Remember them? But how could you forget either/or? Squeeze squeezed into a timewarp or even in a nutshell are just lovely. It's the only word to use.

It's nice to think of a time when pop music could be funny, witty and...

Forget the hype just go with the flow

Thu, 9 Aug 2001 12:38:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Juliejules - It's amazing how both the press and musical press make heros out of individuals one minute and then drop them the next. All this, of course, happened to The Verve. It's called hype and it works in both positive and negative ways.

What the...

Keep Feeling Fascination

Thu, 9 Aug 2001 10:26:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Juliejules - Human League emerged at a time when I couldn't even read properly - 1978 it was, I was four years old. I remember them so well from that time though because my older sister loved them, worshiped them and wore a whole lot of make-up. Strange recognition...

Football, football and even more football

Thu, 9 Aug 2001 08:26:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Juliejules - I'll let you into a couple of my little secrets - number 1: I generally hate football and number 2: I only read this book the first time because I was going out with a Spurs fan. Sad but true. On a positive note, the relationship lasted only a little...

2000 Zagat New York City Restaurant Survey: The Zagat guide - is it all that???!

Wed, 8 Aug 2001 22:33:59 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Juliejules - I know us guys are supposed to trust opinions and we do (I think!) but am I the only person out there who doesn't fully trust the Zagat guide?

For those of you, who haven't used it, and without blinding you with unnecessary science and...

Put on something tartan and dance I said!

Wed, 8 Aug 2001 21:07:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Juliejules - O.K - this isn't dance music but it's a bloody good alternative!

Big Country have always done enough to rock the place and this little collection is no exception - it's spellbinding stuff and enough to rouse any heart. Guaranteed.

...

Sleek, sultry, sexy stuff

Wed, 8 Aug 2001 19:43:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Juliejules - She was a popular girl in her prime, that Alison Moyet - and can you blame her? I'd never say she had a voice to sink ships, but raise temperatures, well maybe. She was once quoted in the music press saying 'I'm fat but gorgeous' - well, what a...

A good memory-jogger

Wed, 8 Aug 2001 18:24:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Juliejules - I'm actually tidying my record collection at the moment - can't you tell?! - and every single time I nearly file one away I just have to write another review.

I stopped when I found Gary Numan because it's such a long time since I played this,...

A classic classic

Wed, 8 Aug 2001 16:29:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Juliejules - This album in an elegant manifesto of one of the strongest, most enduring voices in pop/rock. That's not to say that Gabriel's voice is essentially 'strong', he's much softer that that, a voice like warm chocolate perhaps or burnt toffee.

I...

Chuffing great

Wed, 8 Aug 2001 15:00:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Juliejules - Here I go again - rambling on. I hate to think that you haven't heard of The Jam. You must have done. You must!

I'll let you into a secret - number 1: I'm 27 years old - number 2 - all this music was created by the time I was 10 years old -...

Strong Irish music - grips your soul

Wed, 8 Aug 2001 14:11:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Juliejules - What can I say / not say about Sinead O'Connor? For years I have found her magical music haunting, beautiful and, put rather simply, (as opposed to Tina Turner) the best.

This collection puts many of the best pieces together in one place - an...

Fab British fare!

Wed, 8 Aug 2001 13:28:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Juliejules - Some of you are maybe going to notice that I'm a bit pro-British in my opinions. Sorry, that's because I'm a Brit. I do apologize with my politeness and all that - however - may I just say that Parklife and Blur should be commended as some of the best...

Quality ramblings.

Wed, 8 Aug 2001 12:54:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Juliejules - I personally like Blur because they ramble on a lot - like me. They seem to have an opinion/reaction to everything - unlike Oasis (remember the Oasis v Blur debate - British folks) - which to me makes them winners.

There are many fine lines...

A good read - for subtle appreciation

Wed, 8 Aug 2001 10:42:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Juliejules - I've just finished this book and rather than say 'I enjoyed it' I think it would be more apt to say 'I appreciated it'. Really appreciated it.

The book is Maureen Gibbon's first novel and anyone would be forced to say that this is a really...

A brilliant page-turner - best book I've read in ages!

Wed, 8 Aug 2001 09:22:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Juliejules - What a great book!

Kissing in Manhattan opens up with no promise particularly and then turns into an absolute page-turner when the web unfolds.

The plot is random at first with a lot of play in character description and analysis...

O.K but Marian Keyes can do better!

Wed, 8 Aug 2001 08:57:55 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Juliejules - I'd like to say some very nice things about this book. I mean, I like Marian Keyes immensely. She is a warm, funny and knowledgeable writer - but this book has let her and the reader down somewhat especially when one compares it to her previous more...

Good book - light reading, suitable for wise women

Tue, 14 Mar 2000 13:53:29 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Juliejules - I first read the book a few months ago after being hounded by loads of English gals who had read it before me. "It's soooo true" - they would say, so eventually I, another female, started to read.

I think foremost that the author - Zigman...

Yaffa Cafe IS IT!

Thu, 9 Mar 2000 16:05:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Juliejules - What can I say about Yaffa Cafe? Certainly nothing bad. As a young(ish) English woman, I'll always remember living in New York and visiting the Yaffa with friends when we wanted to relax, eat well and healthily - without paying the earth.

In my book...

Talented or what?!!!!!!! A fantastic whopper of a film!

Thu, 9 Mar 2000 15:39:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Juliejules - This film has just come out on general release in the UK and lordy am I impressed! As an Italy freak, I was first attracted to the film not through the plot but because of the Italian connection and the cinematography I expected to see.

However, I...
