great for keeping up with news and friends (4 more)
ability to get notifications whenever a certain account tweets something new
good for openly contacting companies with queries or complaints (and being likely to receive a response!!)
a major advantage the app has over the website/ online browser version is the ability to save drafts of tweets to edit and publish at a later time
some companies and services (especially travel) seem to update via twitter before other sources (!!) so it is very useful for getting accurate/ relevant updates
inherent issues with what Twitter bans and lets slide (1 more)
main timeline can get confusing and it is easy to miss tweets

A nice and sweet time-travel romance. Melissa was a well-developed heroine for Rory, who while not as developed and portrayed as practically perfect, was a wonderful hero for her. The story was smoothly written, although I could have done without some of the flowery prose, and had well-defined plotlines. I thought the epilogue was a little bit of a letdown because I would have liked to hear about the children at Freedom House. An easy and otherwise nice read, but it didn't connect with me as much as other books. Still, it really was well-written and the romance between Melissa and Rory was lovely.

Third entry in the 'new' X-men series (that started with the 60s set First Class, then had the cross-generational Days of Future Pay bringing both sets of X-men into the one film), so probably about sixth overall (or seventh if you included the spin offs), this is set in an alternate 1980s and is actually surprisingly unengaging.


Unlike the time travel shenanigans of the previous film (and the Sentinels), Wolverine only makes a cameo in this while the 'big bad' is actually the worlds first mutant who - in the prologue - gets buried in ancient Egypt.

Unlike the Marvel universe films, however, Quicksilver survives in this!

I am about a quarter way through this amazing book and so far have found that it gives the reader an informative insight into what lies beneath our feet as we walk the streets of London or in some cases as we travel the train lines.

 Having now finished Catharine Arnold's book I would say the book is well written and contains an informative history of how London buried their dead but not only this it also shows how death has been dealt with throughout the ages, anyone with a interest in social history , architecture or the history of cemeteries will definitely find this book appealing.

A nice little family game
this is a clever little game, and easy to grasp right away, plus it's just a bag of tiles so it's easy to take with you and play on a picnic table at a campground, or a folding table, or even a hotel lobby coffee table. the tiles don't blow away in the wind which is another big time feature of it. Usually games are hard to travel based on size and complexity of pieces, this one is ready to go... try it and take it with you.

Intense sci-fi
This Netflix original is a good one. Once again Netflix comes through with an excellent story. Time travel is always a tough one to make work but they did in this intense action thriller. The characters were played well and the film work was extremely good. It takes place in one house/lab where a machine designed to generate limitless energy somehow loops time. The protagonists have to keep figuring out what to do in each loop to survive. The story unfolds beautifully and is full of twists and turns. Some violence but nothing gory- pretty family friendly. REALLY worth a watch!
