Pole To Pole...A Captivating Tale
This is the amazing story and documentary of Micheal Palin (Monty Python's Flying Circus) and his journey to travel from the North Pole to the South Pole following the 30-degree east line of longitude. It encompasses 17 countries, both hemispheres, from Greenland in the North, through Russia, to Kenya, South Africa and Chile, and onwards to the South Pole.
It is truely one of the most remarkable tales, and is only surpassed in terms of sheer enjoyment to watch by his later, and more adventurous journey, 'Around The World In 80 Days'. However the cinematographic Some of the highlights, and best bits for me was:
Trying to buy Vodka in Russia with Lenin, meeting Santa Claus, seeing the Safari, and his time stuck in the Sudan, oh and lets not forget the awful Karaoke singing, and tiny hotel room (and i mean tiny) in Hong Kong!!
Along with his frequent jokes, and the compelling nature of the world which means you are forever left wondering if he can ever possibly complete the journey.
This DVD has been one of my favorites to watch. Each episode you get more and more into the journey. Palin brings it alive in such a way that you fel as if you are next to him. You feel as if the sights he is seeing are the sights you know so well, and that you have been there too. You just cant get better than a nice quiet night in, with this DVD collection, and a nice glass of wine. I would also recommend topping it off with some exotic cuisine, and then you really do feel like you are in the wild with Palin!!
Cinematography, Directorship (Roger Mills and Clem Vallance), and Narration (by Palin) are stunning providing such a vivid and distinct programme, that allows you to feel and see exactly what you would see if you were there. I just cant help but praise this series, as i feel it is so good. It has been shown on many TV channels, and repeated through the years, but nothing compares to owning this remastered version, complete with an exclusive interview with Micheal Palin. Do yourself a favor, buy this DVD!! You will watch it always!!

Excellent
Replacement for old one that broke. Take your time putting the hoses back on and use the supplied grommet and gasket or things will end up wet. This handily drops down to allow sink cover top to come over and also allows mixer from hot to cold in use with the carver system. My caravan is from 1993 and now has lease of life because of this product.

Samsung SGH-U700V
Good low priced phone to replace Sony Ericsson mobile. Call quality good, very easy to use. Menus are complicated, but once you got your bearings, this is an easy one to use. The touch sensitive buttons are a pain in the arse, so expect to have to try again - bit hit and miss basically. The navigation is good, and sound is fine, and the expandable memory gives a real boost. The HDSPA should be very useful, but i must admit i have yet to try this feature.
The phone itself has a lovely look, and is very light. I have the silver vodaphone model U700-V which features their logo - great but im on O2 (long story!) but it works perfect. Installing the settings for WAP, MMS, and internet is a manual jobbie as the settings cannot be installed automatically. This is a network issue, not phone (it is unblocked mobile).
The screen looks resiliant, and certainly survived the journey and a bit of 'heavy use'. The phone is a workhorse, though my doubts about battery life are justified reading other reviews. Basically expect to have to charge every 2 nights, possibly three. It is a 3G phone, and this is a huge benifit. You can set the phone to only operate on the 2G band, and ensure you do not use bluetooth, knock down the screen brightness, and not use the music player or camera, and get 5 days out of it...BUT why buy a phone with those features and never use them? The phone is a good life for what it has.
Compared to my last phone, a Sony Ericsson T3O3, this is a nice phone with the only advantage the T303 has is battery - but that is due to lack of features to stress a bettery, so no competition really. A more realistic comparison can be found in another phone i had - the Sony Ericsson W980i. The battery in that phone sucked, the features were clunky, the camera was not as good as this Samsung. It had 8GB memory, but not expandable. It was as light, but clamshell. The clamshell made me so mad. It covered up the camera, never worked right, and the touch senstive buttons were by far worse. The space for the keys was limited - something the U700 easily outstrips the W980i and T303 in.
In short, get this phone if you are on a budget and are not looking for the latest, but want bluetooth, hdspa, 3.2mp camera, slidephone, and a decent enough battery. I would consider this a worthy workhorse - just keep your chargers close by!!
