Advantages: One of their best tracks is included. Disadvantages: Quite a bit of dross.
Levellers, The Levellers.
This was the Levellers third album. The Levellers, by the time this had been released, had been a band for nearly five years, though their original vocalist left after album number 1, they were certainly getting well known outside of the punky/celtic/festival scene that was their origins. I certainly remember seeing them in London in 1990 and they had built up quite a following of students, squatters and festival goers.
This album for me marked a bit of a change in direction and, in my opinion is not as good as the first album 'A Weapon called the Word', or the 2nd album, 'Levelling the Land'. It is almost like they have got better and more polished, yet lost something along the way. That being said, there are some cracking tracks as I will divulge shortly.

Advantages: Quick and easy Disadvantages: none really its OK
Porridge is an old tradition in Scotland and there are many myths surrounding both the eating and the cooking of this healthy dish.

I have never actually purposely stuck to this rule but did notice recently that although whilst heating soup and the like I alternate between stirring clock and anti- clockwise, with porridge it is always clockwise. This is probably a subconscious thing, but it is kind of weird. Now of all the traditions and the myths whether they actually apply in the case of what is quick porridge I am uncertain, but just to be safe this WILL be stirred clockwise. Another popular myth is that it should only be eaten from a wooden bowl??????.in the absence of such I shall be using ...
