LG 42LG5000 - Made to be hung on the wall

Advantages: Aesthetically Pleasing, Great Sound, Power Saving Features
Disadvantages: Standard Resolution lacks in clarity

...I bought the 42 inch LG5000 from Currys at a cost of £649.99 a little over a month ago now. WOW! What a TV. <<< Setup >>> The box is huge and does come in handy for keeping the kids happy for a while leaving enough time for you to get the TV up and running. Once unwrapped and plugged in it really is a breeze. As I began to set-up the TV, the size of it made an impression on me. As I fired it up the next thing to attract my attention, was the great easy to use set-up menu which takes you through the set-up step by step, explaining everything as you go through. Once set-up was complete, I got down to sampling the many features on board. <<< Picture Quality >>> The colours stood out to me from the outset, with vibrant, bright tones and great deep and detailed blacks. High definition images are fantastic giving...

Epson Stylus DX5000 - It's not quite hate

Advantages: it looks alright, and the buttons are reasonably straightforward
Disadvantages: uneconomical ink cartridges, poor or liney prints too common

...I don?t exactly hate this printer, but I would not recommend it to anyone, for a number of what I think are rather important reasons. It?s ink usage is pretty terrible. I bought this printer as the ink seemed atleast somewhat reasonable, and could be purchased in four separate process colours. I figured it would be easy to change one without having to change them all. It has small cartridges with tiny amounts of ink. The cartridges run out astoundingly quickly. It turned out not to be good value at all. If any ink colour runs out, you cannot print at all. I would love the option to print the document in whatever colour(s) it can, but it just tells you to change the cartridge, and refuses to function. However on one occasion when I was low on black it offered to make black out of the other colours for me. This printer does look...

GWIZZZ, £5,000 FOR METAL MICKEY!

Advantages: Wonderful for the environment
Disadvantages: Rhetoric sound-bites at present

...climate change and the US would have been forced to tow the line also. Yet we have wasted time. Time we cannot afford to lose. Our politicians have been bathing in wealth from the super rich companies who have systematically exploded billions of carbon emissions into the atmosphere without any concerns of an iron-fist green regulatory body on their cases. It all sounds too familiar doesn't it! Now the wealth has been handed back by Westminster to ailing banks in their own words 'to protect the taxpayer'. So where are the funds to protect us from a mightier force being 'climate change?' By not having green taxes in-place for a quarter of a century another financial black-hole has appeared in redeeming this serious matter; and it doesn't depend on world market share-prices. GWizzz, £5,000 for ?Metal Mickey...

Review of Black (PS2)

Black Hawk Down

Advantages: Excellent Film
Disadvantages: Not many

...Recently there was an article which really sparked my emotions, both sadness and anger, surprisingly it was in The Sun (the most professional and reliable of the daily papers) the article was on the sate of Somalia and the history of the wars going on in the country. Quoted in the article was a film called Black Hawk Down, which I had heard of but never, had the opportunity to watch and had no clue about, later on when in discussion on the article, somebody brought the film up and highly recommended it. Buying the Film I bought the film in Blockbuster when I was returning a rental; it cost £4 which I thought was highly reasonable for a DVD, especially one which was recommended and according to the front of the DVD won two Oscars, and looked to carry an exciting cast set. Director The film is directed by a man called Ridley...

Review of Black Hawk Down (DVD)

ALWAYS BET ON BLACK.......

Advantages: Smells gorgeous, fragrance lasts for hours, cool packaging and unique bottle
Disadvantages: Price, size of bottle

...It would appear that the subtle hints dropped throughout 2003 by Badger Boy were not in vain as on Christmas Day he opened three, yes three presents to be presented with each fragrance in the Bvlgari range. Bvlgari fragrances first came to my attention a number of years back when an ex girlfriend wore the Pour Femme version of their best selling fragrance. The smell to this day still haunts me, but still gets my nostrils tingling when I walk past someone wearing it. Happily, she couldn?t stand the smell of Bvlgari Black and I instantly fell in love with it after winning a bottle in a prize draw a few years later. Bvlgari are a well known fashion and design house famous for their jewellery and watches more than their actual fragrances, however, the chances of me actually owning the latter are slim to zero due to the extortionate...
