Turn your furniture into cashDON’T dump your furniture. Recycle it and turn it into cash at JKL Furniture Warehouse .

SITUATED in the back streets of Newcastle, JKL Furniture Warehouse is a ray of sunshine, posi-tivism and hope for shoppers during this dark and dreary recession. We understand that times are tough, people are working harder for less. We understand that money has to go further and has to last longer. We are very much like you.

We are fighting back and the good news is that it’s working. The great news is that it’ s working really well and it can for you too!!!!

Everyone wants to create an individual home that looks a million dollars without costing a for-tune. Snapping up some stunning second hand, antique and vintage furniture and homewares is the way to go. Thanks to so many people turn-ing their unwanted goods into cash we have a huge selection of modern, contemporary , retro and vintage pieces to offer.

Our second hand buying concept works for everyone. It works for home owners wanting good quality affordable furniture to fit in with things they already have. It works for landlords and tenants who want good quality affordable furniture to suit every budget. Then there are the adventurous type who want to “up-cycle” vintage pieces which is very much in vogue.

New stock comes in on a daily basis. Some-times we know what is coming sometimes we don’t. However we are clever. We keep a copy of the pieces you are looking for and phone you to let you know when they have arrived. This gives you the first opportunity to buy them be-fore they are snapped up.

In addition to our second hand stock all our previous new stock is still available. New mat-tresses start from £50. Have you seen a piece you like somewhere else? Before you buy come in to see if we can give you a more competitive price. You might be pleasantly surprised that we can get the same thing but for much less.

ANSWERS PLEASE

HERE’S always been, and will be, young groups of friends forming bands, dreaming of releasing albums and rocking stadiums. What’s been the difference for you guys, coming from a small area in Northern Ire-land and managing to break through into the industry, and what advice would you give to other bands that are trying to do the same thing?

-We’ve had a few lucky breaks along the way

but we’ve also remained focused and together over the years. You really have to put the work in and not wait around for some miracle to land on your doorstep and you also have to truly want to play music for a living and real-ise its not like it is in the mov-ies...even though its still pretty damn good.

On breaking into the indus-

try and selling over 100,000 re-cords, do you consider you’ve ‘made it’, was that ever your aim as a band and what future ambitions to you hold?

-Thats an achievement that

we’re very proud of but we still have so much more to prove. We want to sell a few million albums and fill stadiums. We’ve got the songs and the live show to do it so why not!!

Rock’n’Roll touring is notorious for its ‘any-

thing goes’ attitude-does it live up to its billing and if so whats the wildest thing thats hap-pened on tour?

-I wouldn’t say anything goes but its not far

off. As far as stories go you’re gonna have to get me pretty drunk before I start dishing the dirt. Lets just say The Answer has a good time on the road and leave it at that.

You toured with AC/DC and are cited as saying

they’re one of your favorite bands. But who else has influenced you and who, among the current contemporary rock bands, do you like?

-I’ve been getting into The Mars Volta recent-ly. I also really enjoy Black Mountain and the Drive By Truckers. I would say however that theres very few bands around today (apart from ourselves of course) that are of the same calibre of the ACDCs, Led Zepplins and Nirvana’s of this world. Its down to bands like ourselves to step up to the plate and keep true rock n roll alive.

Where’s the best venue or gig you’ve played,

and how does coming back to Quinns bar com-pare to rocking huge stadiums across the world?

-We did a two night stand in Madison Square

Gardens which was pretty memorable..as was Wembly stadium and Punchestown Race-

course. Those gigs were a little different to the Quinns bar ex-perience but I mean it when I say that the Quinns home-coming was a special night for us. It was great to be able to play in front of so many family and friends again. That was afterall the venue where we really cut our teeth as a live band back in the early days.

When you do come back to

your local towns I’ve heard nothing but good things, and even the fact that you still play small pub gigs, suggests you guys are pretty grounded. Is this difficult to do when your in a band such as yourselves and your sell-ing thousands of records and touring with the likes of AC/DC?

-Not at all. Any band or musician from North-

ern Ireland who finds it difficult to stay ground-ed needs to get their head checked. Just because you sing a few songs for a living doesn’t give you the right to act the eejit!

.....and finally, what can we expect from The

Answer over the next 12 months? -Lots and lots of touring and hopefully a cou-

ple of platinum records. See you in Quinns for a pint in 2012!

T H E B I G I N T E R V I E W

“I SHOULD certainly do it,” said Sherlock Holmes.

I started at the inter-ruption, for my com-

panion had been eating his breakfast with his

attention entirely centered upon the

paper which was propped up by the cof-

fee pot. Now I looked across at him to find his eyes fastened upon me with the half-amused, half-questioning expression which he usually assumed when he felt he had made an intellec-tual point.

“Do what?” I asked.He smiled as he took his slipper from the man-

telpiece and drew from it enough shag tobacco to fill the old clay pipe with which he invariably rounded off his breakfast.

“A most characteristic question of yours, Wat-son,” said he. “You will not, I am sure, be of-fended if I say that any reputation for sharpness which I may possess has been entirely gained by the admirable foil which you have made for me. Have I not heard of debutantes who have insist-ed upon plainness in their chaperones? There is a certain analogy.”

Our long companionship in the Baker Street rooms had left us on those easy terms of intimacy when much may be said without offence. And yet I acknowledged that I was nettled at his re-mark.

“I may be very obtuse,” said I, “but I confess that I am unable to see how you have managed to know that I was... I was...”

“Asked to help in the Edinburgh University Ba-zaar...”

“Precisely. The letter has only just come to hand, and I have not spoken to you since.”

“In spite of that,” said Holmes, leaning back in his chair and putting his finger tips together, “I would even venture to suggest that the object of the bazaar is to enlarge the University cricket field.”

I looked at him in such bewilderment that he vibrated with silent laughter.

“The fact is, my dear Watson, that you are an excellent subject,” said he. “You are never blase. You respond instantly to any external stimulus. Your mental processes may be slow but they are never obscure, and I found during breakfast that you were easier reading than the leader in the Times in front of me.”

“I should be glad to know how your arrived at your conclusions,” said I.

“I fear that my good nature in giving explana-tions has seriously compromised my reputation,” said Holmes. “But in this case the train of rea-soning is based upon such obvious facts that no credit can be claimed for it. You entered the room with a thoughtful expression, the expression of a man who is debating some point in his mind. In your hand you held a solitary letter. Now last night you retired in the best of spirits, so it was clear that it was this letter in your hand which had caused the change in you.”

“This is obvious.”“It is all obvious when it is explained to you. I

naturally asked myself what the letter could con-tain which might have this affect upon you. As you walked you held the flap side of the envelope towards me, and I saw upon it the same shield-shaped device which I have observed upon your old college cricket cap. It was clear, then, that the request came from Edinburgh University - or from some club connected with the University. When you reached the table you laid down the letter beside your plate with the address upper-most, and you walked over to look at the framed photograph upon the left of the mantelpiece.”

It amazed me to see the accuracy with which he had observed my movements. “What next?” I asked.

“I began by glancing at the address, and I could tell, even at the distance of six feet, that it was an unofficial communication. This I gathered from the use of the word ‘Doctor’ upon the address, to which, as a Bachelor of Medicine, you have no

legal claim. I knew that University officials are pedantic in their correct use of titles, and I was thus enabled to say with certainty that your let-ter was unofficial. When on your return to the table you turned over your letter and allowed me to perceive that the enclosure was a printed one, the idea of a bazaar first occurred to me. I had al-ready weighed the possibility of its being a politi-cal communication, but this seemed improbable in the present stagnant conditions of politics.

“When you returned to the table your face still retained its expression and it was evident that your examination of the photograph had not changed the current of your thoughts. In that case it must itself bear upon the subject in ques-tion. I turned my attention to the photograph, therefore, and saw at once that it consisted of yourself as a member of the Edinburgh Univer-sity Eleven, with the pavillion and cricket field in the background. My small experience of cricket clubs has taught me that next to churches and cavalry ensigns they are the most debt-laden things upon earth. When upon your return to the table I saw you take out your pencil and draw lines upon the envelope, I was convinced that

your were endeavoring to realise some projected improvement which was to be brought about by a bazaar. Your face still showed some indecision, so that I was able to break in upon you with my advice that you should assist in so good an ob-ject.”

I could not help smiling at the extreme simplic-ity of his explanation.

“Of course, it was as easy as possible,” said I.My remark appeared to nettle him.“I may add,” said he, “that the particular help

which you have been asked to give was that you should write in their album, and that you have already made up your mind that the present inci-dent will be the subject of your article.”

“But how - - !” I cried.“It is as easy as possible,” said he, “and I leave

its solution to your own ingenuity. In the mean-time,” he added, rasing his paper, “you will ex-cuse me if I return to this very interesting article upon the trees of Cremona, and the exact reasons for the pre-eminence in the manufacture of vio-lins. It is one of those small outlying problems to which I am sometimes tempted to direct my attention.”

THE FIELD BAZAAR by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1896)

“The Field Bazaar” was written dur-ing an Edinburgh University fun-draising event. Doyle had been requested by his university to con-tribute a short piece of literature for a charity magazine. In the story Wat-son has received a similar request.

LIKE A BOSSSOME great characters and an alto-gether better cast hold a somewhat farcical plot line together.

PES had fallen so far behind FIFA, that I, along with millions of other gamers, had no choice.

PES had always prided itself on superior game-play- if not player names! Fans would happily set up a 4-4-2 system with Ruud von Mistleroom and Ryan Gills in the starting line-up, because we were purists- at the end of the day it didn’t matter if you had to sacrifice a certain amount of realism for a more satisfying gaming experience.

But that soon changed. Whilst the Pro Evo team were busy thinking up outrageous names for players and teams, FIFA were slowly but surely improving their game engine. Year by year they were edging closer to PES with the action on the field and when they did finally match them in

GAMES

THREE 30-something friends are all having vary-ing difficulties with their respective bosses, so much so, that it leads them to conspire to kill them.

Though the film is centered around the three murderers-to-be, it’s the three intended victims that really steal the show.

Kevin Spacey, a consistently brilliant comedic ac-tor, plays the sadistic psychopathic Dave Harken, who, after years of hinting at a promotion for Nick (Jason Bateman) takes the position for himself.

All is well for Kurt (Jason Sudeikis), until his boss dies, leaving his drug-addicted ‘tool’ of a son, Bobby Pellitt (Colin Farrell) in charge.

And whilst it may be a dream come true for many a man to have Jennifer Aniston pursuing them, Dale (Charlie Day) has had only one dream since he was a boy, ‘to be a husband’- Julia (Aniston) threat- MM RATING

ens to ruin his engagement if he doesn’t give in to her, somewhat aggressive, advances.

There are plenty of laughs throughout the film as our three protagonists get embroiled in all sorts of mayhem, and again any scene with the sterling support cast is a delight. Jamie Foxx plays a ‘murder consultant’ with an outrageous name that unfortu-nately cannot be repeated on these pages, however leads to some brilliant one-liners throughout the film.

The plot may seem a little off kilter but this can be easily over looked when the cast delivers as well as this.

FIFA 12PLATFORM: PS3, XBOX 360, Wii, PC & Mac

BEING a strict Pro Evo fan right from the International Superstar Soccer days on the SNES, it was with a sense of guilt, 3 years ago, that I defected to the enemy.

‘09, they had the advantage of full licence rights to player names, teams, stadiums and cups.

PES was dead in the water , and this year again has failed to reply in kind.

FIFA 12 is THE best football game available.The focus this year has been on the defence as-

pect of the game, although considerably harder than ‘11 it allows for an even more realistic gam-ing experience. The game physics have been im-proving consitently and the result is a brilliant example of AI power, the players react differently to any given scenario, resulting in little to no rep-etition in the game.

FIFA 12 produces the goods once again with an-other faultless football game.....its a long way back for Pro Evolution now.

NOEL Gallagher was always the bet-ter half of Oasis.

Sure, Liam had the frontman swagger, brash arrogance and undoubted stage presence, how-ever, that soon wore off as a thousand and one imitators saturated the ‘Britpop’ scene with the hands behind your back, two fingers to everyone attitude. So, with that said, it was Noel’s talent that insured Oasis’ longevity, which came to an abrubt, yet unsurprising, end in August 2009.

Two years on, is where we find Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, his first solo project since the split.

The album offers very little surprises, which is not necessarily a bad thing, especially for long MM RATING

time Oasis fans. The formula is a tried and tested one, ‘If I Had

a Gun’ his ‘Wonderwall’, The Death Of You And Me’ his ‘The Importance Of Being Idol’. Whether these tracks and the other nine or so on the al-bum, stand the test of time is yet to be seen.

The albums production is precise and clinical, which favours a number of songs on the album, yet overall the album lacks a rawness to really take it to that next level.

Noel Gallagher is still a major musical talent, so it won’t come as any surprise as to the quality of the album, however when you raise the bar to such an extent it may take more than high flying birds to reach them same levels again.

BT33 0AD

FOUNDED in 1969 as the first wine shop in the local area of Newcastle, County Down, DONARD WINES is very much a family run business, at the hands of the Maginn family since the outset. John Maginn and his wife Patricia now manage the shop with over four decades of experience in the wine trade under their belts, providing their loyal customers with an interesting and diverse range of wines, continually improving the collection and offering great value for money.

As an independent wine shop Donard Wines has the added value of being able to carefully source their own product, choosing from suppli-ers who operate solely in Northern Ireland and those who operate on a national and internation-al basis, enabling them to bring a unique range of mouth watering and rich wines that are rarely seen elsewhere, to their local community.

Every Saturday a wine tasting session allows you to sample the delightful tastes on offer, with highly qualified and passionate staff on board to cater for every type of customer, from the serious wine connoisseur to the casual wine drinker and everywhere in between.

A fantastic and eclectic mix of local and foreign beers can also be found in store, ranging from the cloudy Lisburn ales to the sweet Swedish ciders, whilst offering a great range of spirits, Irish and Scotch whiskey, Donard Wines aims to cater to all tastes.

Having now begun trading online, Donard Wines is able to bring both their range of wines and personal customer service to a new level. If there is any wine you require that is not in store, feel free to get in touch and they will do their ut-most to source it for you.

Donard Wines also provides free delivery when ordering from their online service. So go ahead, have a browse online today!

Donard Wines is now providing a Party Service. If you have a special event Donard Wines is your go to wine specialist, providing all the neccesary drinks and they’ll even bring the glasses!

“Sour, sweet, bitter, pungent, all must be tasted...”This old Chinease proverb wouldn’t be out of place emblazoned on the front doors of Donard Wines what with the vast amount of variety on offer.

Roast ‘n’ Boast

A great dinner party meal or a certain family favourite. There are two main processes to making this recipe. The first is to roast the mixed vegetables in the oven and the second is to make the tomato sauce. In the end you bring the both together to pack a real Mediterranean punch.

YOU’LL NEED:VEGETABLE INGREDIENTSMixed Bell Peppers (I use 1 Red and 1 Yellow)1 Zucchini5-6 mushrooms1 onion2 tbsp olive oil1/2 tsp Herbes de ProvenceSAUCE INGREDIENTS1 small onion, finely chopped2 cloves garlic, minced1/2 tsp tomato puree1/2 tsp sun dried tomato paste1 tsp paprika1/2 tsp dried mixed herbs1/2 cup vegetable stock1/2 glass red wine (optional)1 cup tinned tomatoes (puréed)1 tsp sugar1/2 cup green olives, finely choppedFresh Basil, chopped for garnish

F O O D & W I N EF O O D & W I N E

Roast Vegetable and Olive Pasta SauceTHE STEPS:

• Preheat the oven to 180ºC/355FChop up all the Vegetables into large pieces.Sprinkle with the herbs de provence, olive oil

and mix well.Roast in the oven for around 20-30 minutes

turning once or twice.

• While the Vegetables are roasting, prepare the Sauce.

Sautee the onion in a little olive oil in a sauce-pan until soft (3 minutes).

Add the garlic and cook for a further couple of minutes.

Add the red wine , sun-dried paste and tomato puree and turn up the heat to reduce and burn off the alcohol.

Add the pureed tomatoes, vegetable stock, pa-prika, mixed herbs and sugar and stir well.

Reduce the heat and allow to simmer for 15 minutes (stir occasionally).

Taste and season with salt & pepper.

• Once the sauce is reduced and ready, add the roasted vegetables to it .

Simmer gently for 5 minutes to allow the fla-vours to infuse.

• Add the chopped olives and fresh basil leaves

Stir and serve over your choice of pasta, driz-zle with olive oil.
