Flymo Turbo 330. I bought this and I KNEW what I was buying!

Advantages: Compact, light, easy to store, grass box, quiet.
Disadvantages: None I have found

...at the description. Please excuse the brash tone, this is directed at those who complain about features they knew about before buying. It's a turbo compact hover mower, compact means it may well be smaller than the one you used to own so expect that. A 33cm metal blade to me indicates a 33cm wide cut. If I thought 33cm was too small, I'd opt for a larger model. A 30 litre grass box should be ample for a small to medium garden. My garden is quite large but the mower is a perfect compromise when it comes to the amount of grass it holds, too much it gets too heavy so 30 litre is a good size and even better for storing. 1500 watts power is enough power to get through slightly long grass. If your grass is too long, don't blame the mower if it can't cope, blame yourself. 12 metre cable, if your garden is longer, get an extension or a mower...

Connections

Advantages: A Good Read and Not too Heavy
Disadvantages: Not an addictive read

...Sheila O'Flanagan is a popular Irish writer who has written a lot of popular novels. Her novels are normally one long continuous story. 'Connections' is different as it is a collection of stories, all based around a hotel - 'White Sands' - in the Carribean. There are 12 chapters in the book and each chapter has a heading of a name and room number. Chapter one begins with Corinne, who's in room 404 and is a crime-writer. She is on a working holiday, trying to get inspiration for her next novel, but is having a case of writer's block. It doesn't help when she sees everyone on the beach reading crime books by a different writer. The next chapter centres around Bree in room 217, who is here on holiday with her partner, Declan. He is 20 years older than her and widowed and he has been to White Sands with his wife. Bree is...

Review of Connections - Sheila O'Flanagan

DMR -EZ48VEBK; at the price sold refurbished - awesome!

Advantages: The VEIRA link gives the Panasonic DMR the best picture qualities for products of it's kind.
Disadvantages: The connections liable to disturbanced by movement of the DMR; the handbook too complicated!

...Can't say they're 1000% perfect but not far short; the DMR -EZ48VEBK Reg 2 for the Waltham transmitter is little less than the perfect companion to any decent LCD / SKY - or PLASMA set-up (if you have the hackers for one): After being disappointed by several online retailers I managed to get a good deal from Amazon for my Recorder, so to find an Eddy's link on there was sorry but little short of amazing. I have been buying electical goods from Eddy's for nearly 35 years, so you won't get me writing anything but a cracking review; for this reason I give the DMR 4 stars. My only problem is the setting up cos I'm disabled but a neighbour helped me and in less than an hour the whole system was up and working along with the SKY box. Sadly since helping me with this, he has suddenly passed on and will be sadly missed; but the lasting...

CONNECT 4 - SIMPLE BUT GENIUS!!

Advantages: QUICK TO SET UP AND QUICK TO PUT AWAY
Disadvantages: ONLY FOR TWO PLAYERS

...CONNECT 4 Sometimes the simplest of games give the most pleasure and after playing Connect 4 with my children today I thought that I would review it. THE GAME ITSELF The game is made up of red and yellow counters and a simple blue plastic grid. The game is for two players and each player chooses one of the colours. The object of the game is to then slot the counters in the grid (it houses 42 counters as a maximum) at the top (taking turns) and the first player to get four counters in a straight line wins. The line can be horizontal, vertical or diagonal, but the row must be uninterrupted. Of course, whilst you are trying to get your four in a row, you are at the same time trying to block your opponent from achieving the same thing. What I like most about the game is that very young children can master it (I would say age 4...

Review of Connect Four

connect 4

Advantages: great classic game
Disadvantages: boring after a while

...This is the classic counter game for two players, the aim of the game is for those players to compete against each other taking it in turns to try to be the first to connect four counters together. Players take it in turns to use the yellow and red counters and placing them into the grid to form a straight line of four in a row, vertically, horizontally or diagonally. Who ever gets the four in a row wins the game. Each player takes it in turns and needs to think strategically as to where to put there next counter to help them to get four in a row, but to also think about if they need to block their opponent to stop them from winning the game. The game is simple but is great as it does not require hours to set up and a game can be as quick or as long as you want it to be. There are also not a long list of rules to be able to play...

Flymo Turbo Compact 330 Vision

Advantages: powerful, efficient, easy to manouvre
Disadvantages: needs all the spacers to cut the grass low enough

...I bought this to replace my old Flymo 300 plus which after 7 years had finally collapsed, largely due to my mowing over a tree branch which broke the impeller. I decided to go for a bigger mower and am very pleased with the Turbo Compact 330 Vision which is Flymo's replacement for the old TC 330 Compact. It floats across the lawn beautifully and picks up a lot more grass than my old one. It doesn't pick up as much as a rotary but if your lawn is average sized or an odd shape a rotary isn't really suited anyway and I can't say that the bits it does leave are either noticeable or a problem. If anything it's too good at hovering and needs all 3 spacers fitting between the blade and impeller to get the lawn as close cropped as I like but having said that it doesn't need to be any closer so is not actually a problem if you're not comparing...

Porsche Cayenne Turbo

Advantages: the coolest 4x4 ever!!
Disadvantages: everything is an optional extra!

...a wonderful peice of kit! although it maybe pricey its worth every penny, when you hit the sports button in my words it goes from cayenne to turbo carrea! it sounds like a nascar when you put your foot down a little, produces an orgasmic sound! the handling of this car is wonderful (on the road) but do be worned my recent testing had prooven this car to be a let down when it comes to snow and offroading! on the other side... when they say the starting price is £75,000 they really mean it! porsche provides everything...as an optional extra!, even floor mats at £90 for a set! You dont even get wheels as standard! i would highly recomend the bose surround sound system for a music lover!...

Review of Porsche Cayenne Turbo

Can you connect.

Advantages: good game , durable.
Disadvantages: might get boring after played a few times

...In the 1920's two brothers created a company selling textile remnants. They soon started making and selling pencil cases and things for schools. This company was Hasbro. Over the years Hasbro purchased various other toy companies. Working with children for many a year I have played with lots of Hasbro toys. I was in the playground at work this week and joined in a game of connect four on the giant garden edition of this game. A large garden connects four /four in the row is made by a couple of other manufactures but ours is the Hasbro one. Product description . ~~~~~~~~ The giant connect four is a giant edition of the smaller table top toy. It is a large plastic toy. It is 1.1 metre tall. The main playing frame is a blue colour. This is slotted at the top so that you can post the discs in it. There are 7 rows of 6 round...

Review of Giant Garden Connect Four

Connect Four

Advantages: fun, strategic, cheap, suitable for all ages
Disadvantages: none

...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Connect Four ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At 7 years old I was playing connect four with my brother and yesterday, aged 18 I played connect four with my youngest brother and still thoroughly enjoyed it! Connect four has been going for years and is a game of strategy for two players. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Game ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The actual game consists of a vertical board made from blue plastic, which has six slots running down through the centre of it where the counters can be dropped. The board has 42 circular holes in it where you can see the counters that have been dropped in through the top. To keep the board standing up there are two blue plastic legs which can be slotted on to each side of the board. Some versions of the game have the legs already attached. Many versions of the game have a flap...

Creative Sound Blaster Connect

Advantages: Good sound, optical connections, complete bundle
Disadvantages: A bit light, stereo only via analogue

...It’s not always easy or convenient to open your PC to install a new soundcard. You may just not like the idea of physically opening the machine. It may be you are a laptop owner and plagued by their notoriously poor audio capabilities. In either case, if you need to upgrade your machine’s sound capabilities, the Creative SoundBlaster Connect is just what the doctor ordered Installation Being a USB device, you simply need to install the drivers, plug it in to a USB socket and away you go. The Sound Blaster Connect takes its power from the USB connection so no external power pack is needed which is a major plus point. My system has Windows XP and an existing onboard sound card but it's a bit average. After installation both the original sound card and the new external one worked fine but I decided to disable the onboard sound via...
