Men and Sheds - Gordon Thorburn

Slow and steady...Gordons Sloe GIN...

Advantages: Taste's sweet, refreshing, very moreish.
Disadvantages: very moreish...lol

Gin is Gin right ? WRONG !! Recently I was introduced by a friend to Gordon's sloe gin, something I have never come across though brings to mind the Flavoured Absolut vodkas which are also really nice. It's the same kind of thing but Gin. I gave it a try (nope it didn't take much persuasion I like my spirits) and well - it's a really GREAT drink. The bottle is same as your regular screw top Gordon's Gin bottle but clear not green, the gin itself is a pretty deep-purple-red berry colour though still a clear spirit, not cloudy.. There is a faint pleasant smell of fruitiness along with the normal 'gin' smell, yes I always smell drinks before drinking?..still gin taste but there's also the definite fruity flavour of berries, it's sweet with a nice aftertaste?a bit moreish All this yummy tastiness is down to the sloe berries ...

Review of Gordon

"Gordon's Alive?"

Advantages: Brian Blessed's in it shouting "DIVE" alot! And it's got the best soundtrack to a film... ever!
Disadvantages: Maybe to camp and colourful for some. Avoid if you lack a sense of humour or are looking for something high-brow.

FLASH GORDON "Flash - a-ah - saviour of the universe. Flash - a-ah - he'll save every one of us." Or so the Queen soundtrack goes over the comic-book enriched title credits (something Spiderman 2 would later borrow). It serves to get the audience's toes immediately tapping in anticipation for the film to begin outright and, for some bizarre reason, coupled with the spandex pants, phallic shaped spaceships, an over-developed sense for bright, garish colours and Brian Blessed shouting "DIVE" to his birdman hordes whenever he gets the chance, Flash Gordon comes across as a deliriously brilliant, camp piece of outrageous space opera cinematics. Indeed, with these hallmarks, it's impossible to imagine a movie that's more innocently entertaining (only Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure seems to usurp Flash Gordon to such a title ...

Review of Flash Gordon (DVD)

An Englishman's shed is his castle... so it needs protecting

Advantages: Simple to install, very loud and works very well indeed
Disadvantages: uses many batteries, shame it's not solar powered

It?s a sad state of affairs but these days security is close to being top of many peoples priorities, be it personal security or making sure your property stays in your possession and not taken by some little toad who thinks getting a proper job and actually earning some honest cash is beneath them. Being safe and secure is very important in most people books, and trying to keep your personal property safe is paramount, especially with the cost of insurance sky rocketing every other day, and then, if the worst does happen, god forbid, actually getting your Insurance company to pay out for your loss. In fact, a lot of those insurance companies wont even cover certain parts of your property, such places like your garden shed or a garage which is not attached to your house. So, here I am to tell you about a cracking little alarm which ...
