Rapesco Zero series - Fastenating Staplers

Advantages: Well made, Lovely finish, Inexpensive
Disadvantages: Would be nice if it held more staples

This is an absolute peach of a stapler! I have 2 of these, one for home and one for work and they never let me down. Sure they are not flashy and lack any gadgetry or innovation but if you want documents stapled, the Rapesco is your man! At approximately £12 including 1000 24/6 staples this little cracker is not going to break the bank. The finish is a nice glossy silver/grey which handles well and is extremely smooth to the touch. Reloading is simple by just flicking up the handle to reveal the top loading staple cassette. As can be seen from the image the handle extends past the point of stapling which helps you gain extra leverage when tackling a large document. I have found this stapler very capable up to 20 sheets or so. The staples themselves can be turned inwards (conventional) or outwards using the rotating metal ...

Review of Rapesco Zero-01 Stapler

Singles

Advantages: perfect little gem of a film
Disadvantages: none

?I?d try to comprehend you but I got a dyslexic heart?? Singles, Cameron Crowe?s 1992 tale of the twentysomething search for love in Seattle, is one of my all-time favourite films. This sweet, episodic mix of neatly interlinking storylines is very human, very funny and has probably the best soundtrack of any film in that decade (yes, that includes Pulp Fiction). ?How did this stuff get so complicated? I don?t know.? The storyline strands are relatively few, and this is why the film continues to be coherent and believable. Poor Linda has been dumped on more times than she cares to remember, so is in no mood to meet Steve, who might just be the love of her life. Steve?s ex Janet is, meanwhile, in love with her neighbour in the block of ?singles? in which they live, but Cliff is just too wrapped up in his music to give a damn ...

Review of Singles (DVD)

Is "Punch-Out!!" a knockout?

Advantages: Pick-up & play fun, lengthy, endearing
Disadvantages: Very similar to the classics, sometimes tedious

as they both try to dodge, block and counter to the best of their abilities. Besides the usual Stamina and Heart meters though, there is also the Giga Mac Juice gauge to keep an eye on. It fills up whenever you hit an opponent that hasn't landed a punch in a while and eventually transforms you into Giga Mac, a humongous brawler that feels like a foe from the single player modes. He plays like one too, with taunts that charge him up and devastating over-the-top attacks, but he remains far for invulnerable and it's very possible for the Little Mac player to turn things around. It's surprisingly playable which makes me wonder why they didn't include the rest of the roster in this mode. I'd think that, without their patterns, the single player opponents would be hopelessly overpowering, but they managed to work things out nicely ...
