Miele S300 Bagged Canister Vacuum: I didn't think it was possible to love a vacuum cleaner

Sat, 10 Aug 2002 20:27:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lafutura - Let me start off by explaining that it takes a lot for me to clean my own place. I don't have dirty dishes piled up in the sink, but if it's cleaning that involves a mop or gloves, I'll put it off as long as I can. Even when I was a kid, I would whine...

This book is so good

Thu, 13 Jul 2000 20:14:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lafutura - I will admit to having picked up this book after reading a review of it in the hope that George Dawson's view on his long life would somehow give me a perspective on my comparatively short one. Sometimes I feel as if life isn't quite so good, so for...

If only high school history books read like this...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lafutura - Wouldn't it be great?

If you haven't read any of Bill Bryson's books, I can tell you that all of them are quite a fascinating read. I have yet to read other travelogues that are in quite the same style. Michael Palin's come close, but even then his...

East Is East Is Best

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lafutura - I had not heard a lot about this film before going to see it, so it was a pleasure to watch it all unfold without having any preconceived notions. I am neither Indian nor Pakistani, but found the film to deftly cover issues between the two communities as...

A quality flight for a quality price

Fri, 7 Jul 2000 17:00:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lafutura - I have flown on many different airlines for many different lengths of time, so I feel that I have a good basis of comparison.

Anyway, I booked a flight on Air Emirates from London to Melbourne, not realizing at the time that I was literally going...

A story that has to be experienced first-hand

Fri, 7 Jul 2000 16:28:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lafutura - Let me start off by saying that when I was growing up, I only wanted a cat. It wasn't that I didn't like dogs, but I felt that I didn't understand dogs. Once I was older and was on my own, I decided to adopt a dog. When I got him, some friends of mine...

The men who rule the world

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lafutura - ...or I hope one day they will, anyway!

First of all, music-wise, Travis are not stomping on any new territory. Having said that, I can't think of a single band these days that is. Yes, "Writing To Reach You" has chords in it from Oasis'...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lafutura - This book was recommended to me by a friend, long before it was added to the Oprah's book club list. I am pleased to see that it was put on the list as it is a wonderful, wonderful book.

Kaye Gibbons somehow managed to get inside the head of a young...

Guilty Pleasures...

Wed, 21 Jun 2000 17:14:35 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lafutura - I've never been one to read trashy romance novels, and was a little skeptical when my mom loaned me Tara Road. Based on the summary on the cover, it sounded a little more like a trashy romance novel than I would want. However, I read it and then...

Murphy's on tap vs. Murphy's in a bottle

Thu, 8 Jun 2000 17:31:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lafutura - I will first start this off by saying that I have only ever had Murphy's on tap in the UK - never in a bottle in the US. I know that I look forward to my trips back to London for many reasons, and the chance to drink a cold pint of Murphy's is one of...

Hampstead Heath - Wilderness in London? Wow!

Thu, 8 Jun 2000 17:16:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lafutura - I was living in London and felt like except for the odd common (Americans: park) there was not enough green space that I could walk or ride my bike around. Hampstead Heath changed all of that. I will admit that I have not been there enough to explore...
