Great Synergistic Competition!

We love competitions. And we love serviced apartments. So when we heard there was a great new competition that lets entrants win a serviced apartment AND give money to Great Ormond Street hospital at the same time, we had to blog about it.

Blogging On Bond

The new James Bond film, Quantum of Solace, opens at the cinema in a few days and everyone is getting into Bond fever mode. Hopefully it should be excellent, with Daniel Craig giving another great performance as he did in Casino Royale. Another Bond has been in the press quite a bit lately. Roger Moore - my personal favourite Bond - has just released his autobiography and been doing the usual PR tour. Hopefully it will be a big hit for him.

Since we're getting into the Bond spirit of things, over at our designer watch site, Watch Express, we've put together a list of the top five watches in the James Bond movies.

Must Have Toys for 2008

The Toy Retailers Association has released their annual list of their predicted top toys for Christmas. It must be quite an interesting process arriving at these decisions, and those selected will get a sales uplift so it almost becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. I can imagine there's quite a bit of arm twisting and lobbying to be on the list. Anyway, however they arrive at the list, it makes for interesting reading and we've got a page dedicated to helping you buy the top bestselling toys for Christmas 2008, as predicted by the TRA.

Let's Talk About SE10

Uretopia recently launched it's Greenwich blog and portal, and as part of that we have a nice new forum. The trouble with forums is that it's a real hard job getting people to start using it, and then when/if they finally do, it's a hard job moderating it and maintaining it. But challenges aside, a local site needs a local forum so we hope people from the nearby area will stop by and post a message on the Greenwich Forum.

And whilst on the subject, I hope someone will be using our new New Malden forum too!

Wondering what to get this Xmas?

Have you got to get presents for kids this Christmas and don't know where to start? Last year, High School Musical was the smash hit, and with the release of the 3rd movie, it will be this year too. But also check out Camp Rock from Disney, which is set to rival HSM on the Christmas lists this year. And whilst High School Musical was mainly popular with girls, Camp Rock starring the Jonas Brothers lookes set to have a broader appeal amongst boys and girls.

There's loads of toys available in both ranges, so have a closer look to get some gift ideas:
