Mummy Look at my Drawing - too late it is gone!

Advantages: No batteries needed
Disadvantages: A bit big

...On holiday last week I spotted the Tomy Megasketcher in Tesco's for £10 which I thought was a very good price, I had been looking for something to keep my son occupied in the car and this seemed ideal. The megasketcher is made out of a strong sturdy plastic, it is blue and orange in colour and has a very handy carry handle at the top of the board. A megasketcher is a magnetic drawing board which is filled with iron filings, when your child uses the stamps or the pens the filings get drawn to the surface of the board and look grey in colour. It is quite big 45cm x 30cm with the drawing area measuring approximately 29cm x 19.5cm. Looking at the board there are 4 stamp magnets - a flower, a spiral, paw print and a house though this also looks like an arrow. There is a pen which is attached to the board by a white cord string...

Nokia 6300

Advantages: Slim and sleek, easy to use
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...I got my new Nokia 6300 just over a month ago so I feel its enough time of using it to write a review. I had been due an upgrade of my phone but hadn't really seen anything I fancied until I saw someone who had this phone and I really like the design of it. I've had Nokia's for years (my last one was the 6230i) and so am able to find my way around them. I rang Vodafone and they said I could have it free on upgrade and so I jumped at it. **The design ** I think the phone looks really slick. The dimensions are aprx 10.5cm x 4.5cm x 1.5cm. The screen is 4.5cm x 3.5cm. The top part of the phone (3/4 of it) is black which has the screen in it and 5 keys to make call and access the menu. The number keys at the bottom are silver and flat. It was easy to put the sim and battery in, and the back cover came off much easier than...

ba- very well airline

Advantages: safe, punctuall, very kind service
Disadvantages: none

...British Airways, the full service global airline, offering year-round low fares and an extensive global route network operating from centrally located. I used two times British Airways. I like this airline. Is very punctullar, very safe, kind and nice staff-always helpful and can you answer for all your questions. When you flying with BA you can eat something for free, you don't have to pay nothing. If you take ecomony class you can take one luggage (max. 23 kilos) and one handluggage (unlimitted weight). The standard-sized bag is no more than 56cm x 45cm x 25cm (22ins x 18ins x 10ins), including the handle, pockets and wheels and you can take also one laptop-sized bag, handbag or briefcase. If you are booking ticket you don't have to pay for lugguage like in Ryanair (30 pounds for one lugguage). I recommend British Airways for another...

Simply a great Nokia

Advantages: Good looking, good feature set
Disadvantages: None

...I have had my eye on the Nokia 6300 for a while and a couple of weeks ago managed to get one free from Orange as part of a contract renewal. The phone is visually very appealing. Its a a realivelty small phone (10.5cm x 4.5cm x 1.5cm) but is heavier than its looks suggest at 91 grams. About half of the front of the phone is occupied by the screen which is very bright and clear, the screen itself and the 4 way (joy stick type) button the 4 seperate menu and call pickup / hangup buttons are enclosed in a classy looking black plastic as is the top 3rd of the back of the phone in which is the 2MP camera. The rest of the enclosure is actual metal which not only looks good but gives the phone a quality feel. Before looking at the features of the phone it is worth briefly covering the user interface, which to me is one of Nokias assets as...

SUCK AND SEAL

Advantages: Excellent storage, cheap and very versatile
Disadvantages: You want to suck and seal everything

...Lakeland Limited, after looking in my cupboards and realising that if I wanted more clothes for this winter some of the stuff was going to have to go. However, never throwing anything away, remembering Lakeland having sold this product for a number of years. So I endeavoured to find this product by surfing the web, low and behold there they were just as I thought www.lakelandlimited.co.uk, under their storage section. The bags come in two sizes the first being a jumbo bag which measures 36? x 48? (91cm x 122cm) this comes at a cost of 10.25 GBP and the second bag which is a Large measures 22? x 33? (45cm x 84cm) and this one is priced at 6.95GBP. The Jumbo bag claims to hold two double duvets or six pillows, the large bag holds 10 sweaters, which is not bad when you work out how much space both of these actually take up in your airing...

Come play with this puzzle park

Advantages: good strong puzzle
Disadvantages: none

...I have been looking at puzzles thinking about one to buy for my 3 year old granddaughter. This play park puzzle by Galt is one I am seriously thinking of getting. The box of this puzzle has a handle to carry it by. The puzzle is a floor puzzle measuring 45cm x 60cm (18" x 24"). Small children find it easy to do puzzles on the floor I think it would be useful to have a large drawing board to maker it on though not just the carpet. This puzzle has 24 pieces they are large and easy to hold and fit into each other. The puzzle is made from thick board with a wipe-clean surface. It looks very durable should last a long time. This puzzle is very attractive with its bright colour and play park pictures. The picture is very lively with swings slides, sandpit, and play house, climbing frame and roundabout a picnic bench too. There are...

Basic Multifunction Printer - Impossibly Low Price

Advantages: Very low price, carries out all basic tasks well, photo-print quality is excellent
Disadvantages: Basic feature set, low-quality scanner, ridiculously high-priced cartridges

...I bought this printer to replace the PIXMA ip1600 which I had before, prompted by the £20 cashback offer Canon was running at the time. This allowed me to purchase a multifunction machine for cheaper than replacing the cartridges on the ip1600! Unfortunately the cashback offer has now expired, but this machine is still available at an incredibly low price for the features. Out of the box, the MP210 is averagely sized for a multifunction machine, coming in at round about 45cm x 35cm x 17cm (not counting the headspace it needs for the scanner lid to open). The buttons on the front panel are somewhat lacking in description, meaning that you will almost certainly have to delve into the instruction manual to find out what they do. Essentially, there are buttons for colour and B&W copy, 'Stop', 'Scan', 'Settings', 'Fit to Page', 'Paper...

A good multifunction device

Advantages: Quality of Prints, Features
Disadvantages: Dark Prints

...for creating quality photo prints and an easy to use scanner, not as a commercial black and white printer. The quality of photo prints is very good on the Epson providing a 5760 x 1440 dpi resolution that should surfice a4 prints, although most pictures are bright and vibrant any photos taken in the dark seem to come out very dark on this printer. Overall a great printer providing lots of separate features and still keeping print quality high.

Zen Za Bronica

Advantages: A quality Medium Format Camera
Disadvantages: Price of accessories

...The Bronica ETRS an excellent camera with the only downside being that extra lenses are expensive due to the fact that each lens has an electronic leaf shutter built in. I bought my first Bronica ETRS in 1988 after being recommended by a colleague. The camera is medium format 4.5cm X 6cm producing 15 pinsharp negatives. I have printed 5 X 4 ft prints from the negatives with excellent results! I found the camera to be quite robust having been dropped by a junior colleague the only damage being a bent filter ring this was straightened out. I sold the camera in 1991 thinking that I would never use medium format again, how wrong could I be. In 1995 I bought another Bronica this time an ETRSi. The ETRSi is almost the same as the ETRS the main difference being that the ETRSi has the facility to use TTL flash metering (something I haven...
