The magic of The Cup

Advantages: great cup competition,traditional, Small teams can beat the biggest teams
Disadvantages: semi finals at Wembley? not good idea -should only be final!

...cup games with Chelsea. They played Maccelsfield in 2006/07 season in the 3rd round on the way to winning the trophy that season in the final against Manchester United. When lower league teams come to big premiership clubs it is their big day out and Chelsea gave the whole of one end to Maccelsfield and they brought 6000 of their fans. Maccelsfield actually equalised to make it 1-1 before Chelsea went on to win the game comfortably but it is with certain moments that the Fa cup is so famous. In the 07/08 season I attended a game against Huddersfield and it was the same with many fans coming down for a big day out for the club. They also equalised before Chelsea won 3-1 in the end. Whilst I was at this game news was filtering in of Barnsley's amazing win at Anfield against Liverpool. Next round Chelsea played Barnsley and lost 1-0 away from...

Chicken & Leek in a Cup

Advantages: a quick snack
Disadvantages: none

...For the past few days I have been unwell with a migraine headache so I haven`t really wanted to eat much food. As I had skipped breakfast yesterday morning and my stomach was complaining I decided to have a cup a soup. Chicken and Leek Cup a Soup There are 5 sackets of soup inside a cardboard box, the box is blue and orange in colour and there is a picure of the soup in a mug. You can also see a picture of chicken, leek and onions, on top of the box you will find the best before date and opening the box is very easy. It says on the box that there are no artifical colours or flavourings, that the soup is low in fat and sugar. On the back of the box are simple instructions on how to make the soup, each sachet contains a powder, just open the sachet and pour into a cup. Then add the hot water and give a very good stir...

Review of Batchelors Cup a Soup

The alternative cup

Advantages: It might just happen this way
Disadvantages: Most unlikely

...for the next round. Uraguay steal some of the thunder from Senegal by winning 6-0 in their final group match. This condemns both France and Denmark to an early exit from the tournament. France, bitter at losing to Senegal refuse to play and demand a rule change. Denmark ask for a pardon for Schmeichel but the Koreans instead imprison the entire team. Rumours of betting "irregularities" start. Qualifiers to stage 2:- Winners: Senegal Runners Up: Uruguay Group B. Spain, Slovenia, Paraquay, South Africa. Spain are destined to win a world cup. They must do in the end. Not this time though as the usual jinx takes effect. Slovenia win the 1st encounter with Jackov, Jerkov, pullov and effov all scoring in a 4-0 rout. Paraquay also win with a similar team as the Uraguayans. FIFA claims Uraguay and Paraguay are not different countries and order...

Review of The Cup

great cup!

Advantages: easy!
Disadvantages: may spill!

...I really like this little beaker! Both my nephew and my baby use these and they both got the hang of them really early on and with such ease! Babies need to learn to drink out of mugs and cups instead of just from a bottle. It's important they learn how to drink without just sucking at a teet and I tried alsorts of beakers to try to get my baby and nephew to learn this skill and none of them seemed to work. They both would choke a lot or just pushed it away and weren't interested. Eventually I tried this one and it's been the best we've had! It's easy to use, you just fill it up and snap on the lid. The spout can fold back to prevent leaks although it isn't fool proof and my bag is often damp in the bottom or my car keys covered in juice so be warned! I wrap it in a muslin cloth now when I put it in my bag-good tip there...

Review of Tommee Tippee First Cup (4 Months +)

Enjoying the taste of Starbucks anywhere

Advantages: Cheap, very easy to use, portable (ideal for camping)
Disadvantages: 1 cup version too small, a chore to clean, takes ages to boil

...of the stove top variety. It consists of an aluminium jug made out of two distinct sections. The first consists of the bottom water holding vessel and the second is a top pouring pot. The two sections are screwed together to make a single unit, in which water and coffee is added before the pot is heated up on a hob, a gas ring, a camping stove or any other cooker that you may wish to use. The Moka Express range The Moka Expresso is available in a variety of sizes including a 1cup, 3 cup, 6 cup, 9 cup, 12 cup and 18 cup. The range of sizes in good but are they all really needed? I can see the point of the 1, 3 and even 6 cup versions but everything above this seems pointless to me. When you consider the boiling times, the actual energy you are going to use in boiling such large vessels and the hassle of cleaning the large pots (all...

Review of Bialetti Moka Express 1 cup

Cup a Soup TO GO

Advantages: Quick, easy and very convenient
Disadvantages: None

...remove the lid to get to the soup (well that was obvious) once the lid has been removed there is a silver layer with a tab to pull off. The silver layer has written and picture instructions (the picture instructions must be for the men) lol in blue ink with all the instructions you need on how to make the soup. The foil is easily removed, where you will then find the powdered soup. There doesn?t seem to be much soup there, but after adding the water and giving it a good stir I was very surprised. 1. Pull tab and remove foil.. well this would help 2. Add hot water (minimum 85°C) to the fill line (this is shown on the inside off the cup, You can miss it as it is written all the way around with an arrow pointing to the line. 3. Stir well, wait a few moments and enjoy.. I found its best it you stir it a few times, this stopped...

Review of Tefal Quick Cup Claris Filter Cartridge

Anywhich way you like, these cups won't fail

Advantages: Cheap, indestructible, non-drip, non-spill, completely toddler proof
Disadvantages: Nothing at all

...able to remove it and make a lovely puddle on your carpet. This is important for me because Harry has always found a way to open these supposed "Child-proof" lids yet he has still had no luck with this one, not for lack of trying mind! The only downside to these for me is their availability. I have never seen these cups in my town, despite us having a big Boots, a Superdrug and a large Sainsburys supermarket. I haven't seen it in any of these shops, yet they sell them in my out of town Tesco. I have heard that Boots do sell them, yet 3 Boots stores I have been in do not stock them, which is a shame as they are the best baby/toddler cup I have tried! As for prices, the 2 handled cup will set you back around £1.99 which is great value, and the Tumbler is around £2.39. Both are great prices and these cups are indestructible so will last...

Review of Anyway Up Cups

Cup A Load of This!

Advantages: Tasty, Cheap, Low Cal, Low Fat, GVFM.
Disadvantages: Need Access To Boiling Water.

...Has everyone seen the new Batchelors advert where the blue furry arms bounce up behind the unsuspecting lady and give her a big, warm Batchelors hug? W ell thats exactly how I feel every dinnertime. I've just sat down now with my all time favourite Batchelors Cup-A-Soup (granules)- Tomato and Vegetable (which contains, tomato, carrot, pea, onion, and ring noodles). These Cup-A-Soups are brilliant. They're so easy to make, (as long as you have access to boiling water), and are absoloutely delicious. I have one with my dinner every day, and I never get sick of them either. The granules dissolve quickly, and never leave the strong tasting lumps of granules at the bottom of the cup. They're also fairly priced, and great value for money. I recently bought a box of four sachets (109g) for about 84p in my local supermarket, which...
