General Reviews

In my review on cricket world cup 07 I wrote about people getting bored of cricket. 50+ matches stretched over 7-8 weeks in sunshine. This is second edition of that review because quite a few things have happened in the last few days. Twenty years ago probably no one thought of corruption in cricket. When Dennis Lilley had ...

GENERAL sounds a strange title for a category but I am thinking perhaps it is a heading where we can discuss anything which takes our fancy. PRINCE HARRY So here goes!!! First of all, today's news tells us that shortly Prince Harry will be heading off to Iraq to join the forces out there. All day there have been discussions ...

Since being ever so slightly disillusioned with the constant churning out of talent less track after another, there comes a time in a writers life (or a certain age, which ever comes first when she sits back and starts to take stock of what is exactly out there these days. I’m going to disregard the X factors of this world, because these are ...

First, the name of this book is actually entitled, "Safely Home". The back cover gives this little blurb - "'Is this the day I die?' Quan stiffened at the shout behind him. The voice rang with the authority of the Gong An Ju, the Public Security Bureau. 'You meet in the night like the criminals you are. How dare you defy ...

Ok, now this is different and I don't know how many will make it to the end of the list - but for once, I thought I would try a different approach as my brain is a little fried from attempting to draft another few reviews for discussion under current debate topics. So here goes -- Oops - almost forgot having spent a number of years ...

Flatulence is perhaps one of those subjects that effects us all but is never really a subject you often hear spoken about and in truth is considered taboo. Often known as a ‘Fart’ and possibly in your younger days a ‘pop-off’, flatulence comes in many forms and guises, has a tendency to creep up on you making itself known at an inopportune moment ...

Vegetarians beware!!!-- Walkers sneak in meat again! Do you remember reading in the papers, about two years ago, about the campaign to stop Walkers cheese and onion crisps using animal rennet? Do you remember how vegetarians wrote in about the hidden meat and how Muslims created petitions about non-halal meat being in ...

But do we really love cricket? Or is cricket in schools a thing of the past. After England’s Ashes heroics there has been a greater demand for the sport, but are schools around Britain doing enough to keep this great sport alive. Many youngsters are fascinated by the likes of Kevin Pieterson and Freddie Flintoff. They occupy themselves ...

okay this is my a-z of sex and relationships A is for anal(not like THAT)-Spending exactly 5 mins on one breast,then 5 mins on the other during foreplay before he goes lower only for him to comment that the lampshade is crooked and he needs to straighten it before he continues... B is for breasts cos thats all he thinks ...

I have attended many children’s parties and discos since I became a Primary teacher, and every time without fail there have been little girls dressed like seventeen year olds on prom night. A nine year old pupil of mine once came to a Christmas party wearing a tight black halterneck dress, with “sexy” written on the front. The fact that this ...

Ok, thanks to Sweetpea1 and room 101 review, I have now become irate about call centres (again), and so I hope to use this opportunity to once and for all get my view across on the matter and hopefully live the rest of my life in a torment-free state. Just in case you haven’t gathered yet, there will be few good things for me to say about call ...

Shop for your significant other - Guys labels say it all! Shirt collar, sleeve lengths, trouser waists and inseam. For the ladies its all guess work a bit like a minefield for a man to understand. Numeric and Imperial sizes virtually have no meaning for a man. So here is a little help for the boys when shopping ...

This 'review' is my way of protesting against the low quality of reviews that are being submitted on dooyoo and which make the author a small sum of money. However by doing this often enough it means that they can end up with quite a few tens of pounds of amazon vouchers. It seems to me that anyone can come up with a subject and write ...

Another topic in 'General' where all you lucky readers get the chance to read my opinions on everything and have a little argument between disagreeing readers in the comments. I was actually going to do a review 'General: My Top product on everything' and just say my best movie, actor etc. and explain why but this seems to be quite fun. Read on. ...

Another bunch of questions for you all to get your teeth into, its just an insight into my thoughts and feelings about these topics and i do understand theat some of you may not agree with me so feel free to voice your opinion on the comments page! SHOULD SMOKING BE BANNED IN PUBLIC PLACES? I would love to be able to say yes ...

I was browsing through dooyoo and i found this little questionare and i thot i would give it a bash! Hope you enjoy reading! SHOULD SMOKING BE BANNED IN PUBLIC PLACES? I have slightly mixed views on this. I am a smoker myself but i am also a mother and i always make sure at home that my daughter is in a completely ...

During the course of my work, which is teaching related, I have come across some incredible examples of how not to write in English. Having just marked some exams, I feel that I have to comment on the biggest mistake that I find when people are writing any sort of essay, review or article. They put all of their trust in SpellCheck. They imagine ...

Well hello and welcome to my general discussion! Its 3pm and since midnight last night its been snowing. We thought when it started it was really mild and light so this morning we could go about things as normal. NO CHANCE when we looked outside there is at least 6 inches of snow and its still coming. My daughter and ...

Seeing as there is a general corner with nothing to tell us what we can write about, I though that I would submit my poem that I have recently composed and hope that you enjoy it as a different section that I have entered so far on DooYoo. Any constructive criticism is welcome, and I don’t mean to offend or upset, if this is how you translate the ...
