5.0 out of 5 stars Three hours of a master at work, 21 Oct 2009

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme ( What's this?)
Things like these short talks make you realise just how lucky we are to have the BBC. For all its faults, the Beeb gave us David Attenborough and that alone is worth a lifetime's licence fee. These marvelous 10 minute nuggets began life on Radio 4, and were available as free podcast downloads for anyone organized enough to do downloads every week for the entire summer. I wasn't so I'm extremely pleased to be able to have the complete set - and without the annoying "This is a download from the BBC. For more informantion..." intro that appears at the start of the Beeb's podcasts.

Attenborough's voice has been part of my life almost as long as I can remember watching television. He could probably be reading the phone book and it would still have the effect of lowering my blood preasure. The fact that he isn't reading the phone book, but fascinating and engaging pieces on topics as diverse as celocanths and bower birds, just makes these three discs the perfect way to wind down...

5.0 out of 5 stars 20 Insightful Episodes Into The The Natural World, 22 Oct 2009

This review is from: David Attenborough's Life Stories (BBC Audio) (Audio CD)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme ( What's this?)
Customer Video Review Length:: 6:52 Mins

First broadcast between 5 June - 18 October 2009, as an audio series for BBC Radio 4, David Attenborough's 'Life Stories' followed alongside the popular television series as well as the fully illustrated book, both of the same title. This audio presentation contains the complete collection of twenty episodes that beautifully explore some of the most amazing aspects and evolutions of the natural world.

Each episode lasts for just shy of ten minutes, in which Attenborough delivers a truly thought provoking insight into one chosen subject or area of nature. Attenborough's soothing, comforting and unmistakable voice manages to immerse the listener into the fascinating subject at hand, almost straight away, each and every time.

Attenborough's love and sheer unashamed passion for both zoology and botany are instantly apparent, as he offers up an interesting and colourful viewpoint on each episode. Not only does Attenborough lay down the... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars The great fossil rip-off and other stories, 20 Oct 2009

This review is from: David Attenborough's Life Stories (BBC Audio) (Audio CD)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme ( What's this?)
Sir David Attenborough's Life Stories have been one of the genuine joys of listening to Radio Four this year, as these ten minute sections from his extraordinary career charm, amuse, and educate. There is a slight air of Sir David producing a type of mini greatest hits from his illustrious career in this three disc set, but when your career has spanned over half a century, any insights from this wise old commentator deserve our attention.

With fascinating stories from Sir David's travels, mixed with some memories from his early years, Life Stories is a jolly mix of the genuinely interesting, sublime, amusing, and strange. With stories about creepy reptiles, amazing Bower Birds, and how not to buy fossils in Morocco, there is enough on here to charm almost everyone, and combined with one of the most recognisable voices in world broadcasting, Life Stories is the kind of cd you will want to listen to repeatedly.

1.0 out of 5 stars really cheap, don't buy it, 16 April 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase( What is this?)
This review is from: Silverline 292707 70 mm Disc Padlock (DIY & Tools)
I bought this and returned it. The keys are made of cheap metal and the lock body itself is stamped meaning it's a folded over sheet of metal not a machined solid piece of metal. And the movement is reluctant because it's poorly made. Really, don't buy this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works flawlessly and transmits audio on 2010 MacBook Pro models, 28 April 2010
This review is from: Apple Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter / Converter cable by Cablesson® (for Unibody MacBook - Pro - Air - Supports new THUNDERBOLT port + PC etc.) IMPROVED WITH AUDIO (Electronics)
This converter works perfectly with my MacBook Pro and matches the design of Apple's own cables and converters. To my delight, this converter WILL transmit audio! (The product description has been updated to highlight this.) Your mini DisplayPort output needs to support audio too for it to work. Apple introduced audio support with their late 2009 iMacs and mid 2010 MacBook Pros.

Got this for new (2010) Macbook Pro. Arrived in 2 days, seems well made and works flawlessly when hooking MBP up to a HDTV with a HDMI cable and I can confirm it does carry audio on these newer model MBPs (I did have to select this in System Preferences the first time I used it though).

I bought this after reading many online forums. It is cheaper than the Dr Bott one on apple, but I can confirm that audio is transmitted from my new MacBook Pro. Picture quality is also great, so I can recommend whole-heartedly.
