Advantages: Classy packaging, fresh & fruity smell, distinctive
Disadvantages: Bit over-powering

...Thats exactly how tall this bottle is - 9 inches (bet that puts quite a few of you lads to shame!!!). I am a bit of a fan of Ghost but recently on an outing (I love shopping outings!) to Debenhams I walked past the perfume counter (quite quickly I must add to avoid being sprayed with 10 different perfumes by the women in white coats!) and I spotted this sleek looking bottle. I stopped in my tracks! The bottle itself is truly amazing...a tall (9 incher) elegant slim bottle in a diamond shape. Frosted glass on the front and back - clear at the sides, and a frosted plastic lid with the DKNY logo on. The box is fabulous - a silver 'oiled' effect which you can see rainbow colours in. All in all, it was the simplicity and elegance of the packaging that caught my eye. Then the perfume.... The first squirt is extremely potent - very... Read review

Advantages: Cuts through many materials, big disc
Disadvantages: Awkward to hold, noisy, no carry case

...After recently having our drive extended, I thought I would have a go at saving money and lay a block paved path down the side of my shed. At first I was using a brick bolster, which split the bricks in exactly the same place, no matter where I hit it. There seems to be some sort of weak point in the brick. After wasting about 20 bricks in the space of an hour, I decided to fish out my 4 ½ inch angle grinder. This didn't really help matters, as it wouldn't cut the whole way through the brick. After speculating for a few days over what to do, I finally decided to purchase a bigger angle grinder (yes it did take me a few days to get to this - I don't like spending money). I went for the cheapest 9 inch angle grinder I could find, which happened to be one in the Argos catalogue. It cost £29.99, which I don't think is too bad. I reserved... Read review

Advantages: The music
Disadvantages: Testosterone fuelled boys

.... There is no denim allowed. A stripy tie, which is not to be a work tie. Thankfully when I went to Kos 2 years ago I had gone to Cheadle to say with one of my closest friends and we went to her old school and bought two ties for a bargain 50p each. Now for the feet - you have to wear shoes, boots, trainers or high heels. It is as simple as that. Unless you’re me of course. I wore a skirt which was between 9-10 inches long, something I would never have been allowed to wear at school, a very tight white shirt, stocking and suspenders which again I would not have worn to school and knee height boots for effect or FMB's as they are also known. Did it work? Yes, it did.... I got lots of attention, as did my friends and we revelled in the fact that we looked great. ***Boys*** There is also a dress code for the boys and again... Read review

Advantages: Plenty to do, fun for all the family, not too expensive and a brilliant circus!
Disadvantages: None unless you are scared of heights.

...'t leave the safety of the indoor level. It did used to be possible to climb one further level only a few people at time could go right into the point but this has long since been stopped. In the indoor section of the top of the tower a massive piece of the metal flooring has been removed and replaced with a two inch thick piece of laminated glass, known as the walk of faith you will be encouraged to go step on to it and look straight down at the road and cars bellow. The initial step onto the glass turns your stomach it is a very weird experience, it really feels like you are stepping off the edge. You can buy certificates to say you have taken the walk of faith whether you have or not but come on no cheating!! Ok as I said at the beginning I like to leave the circus till last and have done so in my review also, it really is a casa... Read review

Advantages: Does a good job
Disadvantages: Takes effort

..., or something, even though I sometimes make her sneeze. When she's in a hurry she tries to do without me but the result just isn't the same. There's no getting away from it I do a sparkling first class job, even if I do say so myself. What do I look like? Well, I'm 9 inches long - yes, honest - and 6.5 in circumference (23 x 16.5 cm) - certainly sufficient to bring a smile to her face. Kay's hand barely fits round my girth, but this doesn't stop her once she accepts that there is no other choice but me. I'm quite red at the very top and sort of nicely rounded and, oh yes, I'm most definitely all male! You can tell this by my name. Being called what I am I couldn't be anything else, could I? No, don't be silly, I'm not a Barry or a Charlie or anything like that, I'm much more formal. There are many others in the shops... Read review

Advantages: It makes you smile (a lot)
Disadvantages: When you cane it the petrol really disappears !

...back down to ground level from the high I am currently on. So wot is it then ? A bike that no doubt is not top of the fashion stakes for most people, is not the fastest or most nimble handling and again, for some folks, is not the sexiest looking thing on two wheels – if you believe any of the dross in the bike mags that is – step forward the much maligned Kawasaki ZX9R. My machine is a 2002 F1P model in a lovely silver colour with 9800 miles on the c
