bbc.co.uk on 27/06/2008

This has the distinction of being the first site ever that I've set as my homepage (aside from the ones that came as the default).

The bbc site covers more or less everything, and is updated so frequently it's perfect for having in the bac...more

Comicbookresourcescom on 27/06/2008

Alright, it's geekier than I like to admit to, but I stumbled upon it while reviewing randomwebsite.com (http://www.helphound.com/Business/37647), alright?

A good resource for info/news/rumours etc, and not quite as closely tied to comic b...more

www.randomwebsite.com on 27/06/2008

And now for something completely different...

Clicking on the 'randomlink' button on this site takes you to, well, a random website. It took a few goes to get something that a) was any good and b) I had the fantest idea what it was, but a...more

Dailybunny.com on 27/06/2008

A total and completely accidental disvocery has led me to what might just be the cutest sight on the internet.

I wanted a picute of a rabbit for an easter card, and one google search later found myself on Dailybunny.com. It appears to hav...more

The Market Bar, NOTTINGHAM on 27/06/2008

A fairly run of the mill late-opening bar in Nottingham. Nicely decorated, but fairly cramped and dark. The prices vary depending on what night you go - from obscene to student deal. It's a bit out of the main area, but serves the Lace Market well...more

TGI Friday's, NOTTINGHAM on 27/06/2008

Pretty good, really. Standard American-diner fair, reasonably priced. The food is very good for what it is, with a pretty varied menu. Not too expensive either. Probably the best point though is it's central location, making it ideal for cinema, ...more

Frankie & Benny's, NOTTINGHAM on 27/06/2008

A good version of the popular Italian-American diner chain. Well located for food on the way into or out of the city, and for the entertainment facilities of Lenton Industrial Estate, the food is of good quality, pretty quick, and not too expensive....more

Frankie & Bennys Ltd, NOTTINGHAM on 27/06/2008

A shame, this one, because I quie like the Frankie and Benny's Chain. Specialising in traditional Italian-American food, relatively quick and none too expensive, there's little not to like.

However, last time I went to this particular fra...more

Sausage, NOTTINGHAM on 27/06/2008

Kooky and unusual, this place is definately worth at least one visit - whether or not you go back is dependent, fairly obviously, on whether or not you like sausages.

The menu is suprisingly varied given that it's limiting itself by its pr...more

Bella Italia, NOTTINGHAM on 27/06/2008

I've already covered Bella Italia in general over at: http://www.helphound.com/Business/38162 - this is the same. A little more modern as it's in the Cornerhouse development, but one is more or less the same as the other....more

Bella Italia, NOTTINGHAM on 27/06/2008

I don't really like Bella Italia, I'm afraid. I know many do, but it's not for me.

My reasoning runs thus - 20/30 years ago, when Ialian food was the high-point of the exotic dining experience, this sort of place would have been excellent...more

Game Ltd, NOTTINGHAM on 27/06/2008

By far the better of the two Nottingham stores, this one is very large, and on two floors. Never-in-stock-items aside (Wiifit, Sonic & Mario, etc) you should be able to find everything you want here.

I could level a general criticism that...more

Game Stores Ltd, NOTTINGHAM on 27/06/2008

Not entirely sure of the reason for this place to exist, as there is already an enormous Game on Listergate. Quite small, and making bad use of the space it has got, this version is not easy to navigate round. I know it probably has nothing to do w...more

The Roebuck Inn, Nottingham on 27/06/2008

Definately the best of a mutlitude of Spoon/Lloyds in Nottingham, at least for the casual pint with a friend. It's usp as a Wetherpsoons is the upstairs 'terrace' (although in fact it's largely an open square on the top floor, which on a sunny day i...more

Fancy Frox, SPALDING on 26/06/2008

My experience has been the same as below. I know people who were on 'ball circuits' (no, seriously) that went here, thus presenting the staff with an opportunity to sell several dresses across the year and make a fair profit given their high prices....more
