Advantages: Nice quality, compact, simple to use Disadvantages: battery life
.
The camera also has video feature which doesn't record sound which was a bit of a dissapointment but then again i bought it to take pictures and not to record videos.
Another dissapointment was changing the batterys after one to two days of use. The main problem with this is the battery indicator goes to half level and there is no further warning, the camera just shuts down. I would recommend using rechargeable batteries, always keeping one set fully charged. These can be purchased from B&Q for approx £10. The camera takes 2 x AA batteries.

Advantages: This works!!! Disadvantages: the colour
It was thanks to the nice people here on ciao that I actually got to try out this stuff, I won it as part of a Tigi gift set in the recent colurings competition.

The creative genius comes in a large recyclable bottle giving you 200mls of the green liquid. To be fair liquid is the wrong word to use in describing it's constitancy, its more like a watery cream. The instructions for use are found on the bottle in rather small lettering! No I don't need ...
Advantages: Very funny film Disadvantages: Nothing
really funny to cheer me up - and this film proved to be it.
Real Genius is rated 15 and runs for 102 minutes. It was originally released in 1985 By Tristar Picture Inc. This DVD was released in 2002 by Columbia Tristar Home Entertainment. It cost £7.99.
This disc comes in a normal plastic DVD case with the title of the film and a picture of Val Kilmer on the front. Val is sat on an office desk, wearing a shirt and shorts with an 'I love toxic waste' tee shirt underneath.
