What a Sucker!!

Advantages: Gives you loads of extra space, clear so you can see the contents inside
Disadvantages: None at all

...wave when he suggested some vacuum storage bags. He said he’d seen them advertised on the shopping channel. We had no time to wait for a delivery though so we decided to go out to the shops to see if we could find some. We have a (very small) branch of Lakeland Plastics near to where we live. So, we drove out to see if they sold any. They did – but we underestimated the cost. Lakeland were selling them for £14.99 for a measly two bags. We reckoned ...
...three bags contained one large vacuum bag (55 x 85cm) and two jumbo bags (60 x 105cm). We bought three packs in total, giving us nine bags. These wonderful bags do everything they claim to do. My brother, dad and me managed to stuff a total of ten woolly tops into the large bag, 5 jackets into the second large bag and 4 coats into the next one. I have tons and tons of soft toys all over my room which I have always been unwilling to throw away, but ...

Review of Zippo Playboy lighter

Check your Electricity consumption.

Advantages: Can be used by anyone, portable and accurate.
Disadvantages: Use restricted to one socket at a time, need to know some technical stuff

Made in China and to a high standard. Expect to pay 25 pounds for this device. This seems to be a very fair price for an accurate instrument that literaly did not exist in this form 5 years ago. There are a series of buttons to press - however it defaults to 1. So what does it do? 1. Measures the voltage coming out of the socket - it does need to have the socket switched on. There are no batteries or serviceble parts inside. It is surprising how ...
...demand. 2. Measures the current that an appliance is taking. My electric kettle takes just over 9 amps ( More about the kettle later!) There is a maximum current of 15 amps - apparently the display flashes, and a buzzer sounds. Domestic plugs are rated at 13 amps, I would expect the fuses to blow before then. 3. Button 3 has two different displays it toggles between. The top one measures the Watts the device is taking. 1000 is 1 unit of electricity ...

Review of plug in power and energy monitor

Keep it burnin'

Advantages: Lasts for a VERY long time
Disadvantages: A bit expensive

...overall cheaper to buy a zippo wick and have it last you a good few years. in the time you have used 1 zippo wick, you will have got through about 50 non-zippo wicks, keep adding up the 20 odd pence every month and it will soon cost a bit. another good point is that it is far much less hastle in terms of not having to change the wick as much. HOW TO USE pad, spring, spacer and Flint. Now remove the felt pad and the rayon balls. Remove any remaining ...
...ball. keep doing that until you have replaced all of the rayon balls. when that is complete, you need to replace the felt pad, the flint, spacer, spring and screm, you are now ready to but the insert back into the case and your zippo will be ready to use. ...

Review of Zippo Wick lighter

Make the flame last longer

Advantages: EXTREMELY long lastiong
Disadvantages: costs slightly more than the other brands

...petrol lighters i found the zippo fuel to be by far the best because it lasts for weeks, unlike other brands that evapourate within a few days. presonaly i think it looks a lot more attractive than other brands. its definately worth paying the extra few pence NOTE FOR ALL ZIPPO USERS: this is the only lighter fluid you can use in genuine zippo's or else it will void the gaurentee and you wont have the privilage of free repairs/replacements. HOW ...
...up side down lift the felt pad, oped the spout on the cap of the fluid can (you can use the lighter case lid to do that) turn the fluid can up side down and gently squeeze for 5 seconds. let the cotton soak up the fluid for a few seconds then squeeze the can for another 5 seconds, replace the felt pad, put the insert back in the case and your lighter is all fueled up. SUMMARY it is very long lasting and worth the extra bit of cash ...
