Teething links

Advantages: simple fun bright
Disadvantages: none!

...I bought these for my daughter now that she's started teething and they have fast become her favourite toy despite being very simple and cheap compred to many of the other toys she has! These links are simple. They consist of one large black and white plastic ring which then has a series of other rings that can snap onto this main ring. These links are all different colours and textures. THere are 10 links in total and they have smooth ones, bobbly ones, ones with ridges on and ones with dots on. They are orange and green and red and purple and many others. What is great about these is that they are very light so it's realy easy for Baby Hope to hold onto them and play with them herself. She is able to hold onto them and jiggle them around, because they are plastic and all linked on they make a very nice rattly noise which...

SPEEDING

Advantages: you "feel" that you are getting to your destination faster
Disadvantages: death, injury, you often dont get there any quicker, people are ignorant about it

...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Speeding ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I felt like having a good old debate and seeing as I am currently learning to drive I thought speeding was an appropriate topic. Any one who says that cars are not dangerous in my opinion is rather ignorant. Although cars are now an invaluable part of our society they still have great potential to be dangerous. There are different factors which can cause car related accidents and these include speeding and the use of drugs or alcohol whilst driving. It is estimated that speed is the major factor in around a third of all road accidents. Now ok, so road accidents can range from being minor to severe and we don?t tend to think about it until our lives are somehow effected by it. Just over a week ago my boyfriend witnessed a man reversing his car at a high speed...

Speed is making a killing!!

Advantages: Makes money for the council to top off their pensions
Disadvantages: Ripping off those who will pay

...In Northamptonshire we have 42 cameras, but five have been secretly turned off this week after the government cut the funding for the camera partnership by one million pounds, more than Oxfordshire county council's forced £750,000 cut which resulted in all of theirs turned off. Northamptonshire refused to say which five are no longer working. If they do then motorists will no doubt speed through them. The council say they no longer need to be turned on as the accident rate has dropped in those locations, which begs the question why they were still turned on up until this week. What five would you turn off if you just lost a million bucks? I would turn off the least profitable ones. We pressume those are the five under-performers. ONE in three drivers are caught each year by a parking warden or speed camera. In comparison only 3 in...

Links Crossbow Training - Worth a Look

Advantages: Fun, use of zapper adds to game
Disadvantages: Short

...Links Crossbow Training on the Nintendo Wii is basically a vehicle for the Wii zapper which is included in the package. Like most new software that is released for the console there it is always introduced with a famous title to help it sell and it was a good idea from Ninty to attach the famous Zelda series to this. First thing to bare in mind is that the title is in very little relation to the rest of the series. Twilight Princess is still the better option for Zelda fans seeking the typical adventure type game known to the series. This a basically a spin off in which you play Link shooting and shooting and shooting! The zapper itself is quite solid and everything fits and clicks into place well. It feels heavyish and unlike the unofficial zappers you can get for as little as £1 nowadays it feels well made. Its responsive and works...

Review of Link's Crossbow Training (Wii)

The missing link in the chain.

Advantages: See text.
Disadvantages: See text.

...I would just like to write a review on the Weakest Link, which is now actually shown on BBC1 and not BBC2 as it says here between 5.15 and 6 pm or thereabouts. It is hosted by Anne Robinson, and the format of it is going to be described here. There are about nine contestants who start off at the beginning of the show, and they all introduce themselves; their age (sometimes); what they do, and where they come from. The rules of the game are then described ? the person whose name is first alphabetically starts the game off by answering the first question. All of the questions are general knowledge pretty much, but they do actually in fact cover the equivalent of all of the subjects that are on a Trivial Pursuit board so it is really in effect pot luck what all of the contestants get asked when it is their turn. There is about 1...

Review of BBC2 - The Weakest Link

Speed

Advantages: exellent film with great characters
Disadvantages: none

...Speed stars the fantastic Keanu Reeves and the wonderful Sandra Bullock, along with Dennis Hopper. The main part of the film is based around 'the bomb on the bus', but we also see a bomb on an elevator at the beginning. So basically, the entire film is based aroud a bomb on something! Harry and Jack (Keanu) are two cops who unfortunately are given the task of trying to save a lot of people on an elevator attached to a bomb, or the other way round, a bomb attached to an elevator. Anyway, they manage to save these people and come face-to-face with the bad guy (Dennis). This events in Harry being shot and everybody believing the bad guy is dead. But it's obvious something else, something interesting is going to happen as we are only 45 minuites into the film! Harry and Jack recieve an award for their bravery, whilst the bad guy...

The Link to excellent service

Advantages: friendly staff, good range, loyalty scheme
Disadvantages: is there one in your area?

...Need to buy a new mobile, want impartial advice? Then this is the place to go! If any of you reading this have seen my previous opinions on the Mitsubishi Geo & Mars mobile phones, then you may be wondering where I got my info from. Voila! The Link is the place that I shop at. I initially went there a few years ago to buy my very first mobile. Knowing nothing at all about what type, tariff, network etc I eventually after much window shopping went into my local Link store in Liverpool cIty Centre. That was 4 years ago, and I still go there now - you may be asking yourself why. Upon entering I found one very noticeable thing - no salesperson jumping on you as you enter the door. As I walked around looking at different mobiles/tariffs, the staff seemed to allow to peruse the shop without interference. When I approached one for some...

Review of Need for Speed: Shift (Xbox 360)

The Trap of Speed

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Plenty

...Advice from the AA concerning speeding states that the speed of a vehicle is restricted by the type of road being driven on and the type of vehicle being driven. I believe they have accidentally omitted the driver who is ultimately in control of the speed of their vehicle. Who Speeds? Males drivers are perceived and confirmed by surveys to be more likely to speed, particularly young male drivers. It comes as no surprise then that when questioned, men believed speeding to be a less serious offence than women. Other studies have shown gender to play no part in speeding behaviour but have pointed the finger at younger and new drivers. The stereotypical 'boy racer' is broadly accused of having a wreckless and thrill-seeking style of driving. However, in 2002 less than 2% of drivers caught exceeding the speed limit in Glasgow were aged...
