Not as good as Nell McAndrew's other DVDs.

Advantages: The free weights work and abs work is excellent.
Disadvantages: The second workout is boring and monotonous.

...If you are going to buy a Nell McAndrew exercise DVD then I would buy her Maximum Impact or Ultimate Challenge DVDs. This DVD can get a bit boring. Like the other two DVDs it is divided up into 3 sections. The first workout is 10 minutes and is basically a warm up that takes you through a number of the exercises that you do in the Interval Training. The second workout is when all the hard work is done. It does really hurt and it will take a few times before it is possible to do the whole thing. I find this aerobics session quite boring as it is mostly just running on the spot with various different arm movements. This section in the other two Nell DVDs are much much better. However, the second workout does end with some brilliant free weights work. You can really feel your arms hurting and your muscles working during these...

Review of Nell McAndrew's Peak Energy (DVD)

The adventures of Robinson Crusoe

Advantages: rich in symbolism, giving a good insight into the zietgeist of the time
Disadvantages: slow paced and often dull, Crusoe is often hard to sympathise with

...Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, depicts an 18th century trader gripped by a wanderlust who finds himself shipwrecked on a tropical island where he is forced to cultivate hidden survival skills, re-evaluating his own values in the process. The story is told retrospectively by Crusoe and written in a style which is extremely dry and thorough, and much of it is very tedious to read through. Crusoe busies himself not just with the business of survival but with technological and economic advancement and the pursuit of luxury, all of which is documented exhaustively. The reader is subjected to endless painstaking descriptions of Crusoe's trial and error attempts to bake clay pots, breed goats and sow corn, interspersed with jaunts across the deserted island as Crusoe does his best to stave off loneliness and boredom. The often crushing...

FREE DVDs

Advantages: Free trial, large choice, post included,new realeases
Disadvantages: see review

...I like movies and I like freebies, so when you get offered both in one swoop you?re bound to accept! I used my two week free trial with this company and remained with them for a couple of monthsbefore moving on to try many other companies free trials (and winning a new DVD player on Tesco DVD rental site on their free trial offer). I then had an email from DVDs 365 asking me to go back, and offering me a free DVD if I did so. I had just left Tesco (with my new DVD player) so I chose to go back with them. ∆◊◊ THE SERVICE THEY OFFER ∆◊◊ Basically it?s like going to a video shop and hiring films on DVD, except you don?t pay for each film you chose ? rather a monthly fee for which you can watch as many movies as you can fit in, for us this is usually around 8 a month (2 a week usually weekends...

Robinsons Be Natural - Apple & Strawberry

Advantages: No added preservatives, sweeteners or artifical colours
Disadvantages: Price and sweetness

...I love squash and always try to have a couple of bottles in the house. I generally like the fruit and barley ranges and drink Robinsons (when on offer) and Tesco. When I went shopping a while ago I was looking for squash and noticed the new Robinsons Be Natural range was on offer for 99p per bottle and I'd seen the adverts on telly too (with the little bird that comes home and drinks his squash with the man clock!) so I thought I'd try it out. I bought the apple and strawberry flavour and it comes in a 600ml bottle, I normally get 1 litre so it is smaller, and it states you get 17 servings out of it but I couldn't say for sure as I use big glasses and I think it depends on how strong you like your squash. The bottle (and the advert) state clearly that it is squash made from naturally sourced ingredients but there is nothing else to...

Juice me up Andrew!

Advantages: Thicker looking hair with a lovely shine
Disadvantages: Only available from Asda

...I came across this product in Asda last week when I was looking for something to give my fine hair a bit more body. At £3.00 for 250ml I thought it wasn't too expensive and if it didn't work, as so many different products I've tried didn't, well at least I hadn't wasted too much money. It comes in a tall cylindrical black plastic bottle with a lift off top and has a spray applicator. The words Shiny Happy Hair Andrew Barton Big Hair Lifting Juice Body Building Style Spray are written in green and white on the front of the bottle. I must confess I've never heard of Andrew Barton but on doing some research I discovered he had been in the hairdressing business for over 25 years tending the hair of the rich and famous. His new haircare range has been sold exclusively from Asda since 2007. ***WHAT THE BLURB SAYS*** This body...

Surprising Picture Quality - Panasonic DVD-S54

Advantages: Incredible picture quality when compared to my old non-upscaling player with a scart lead
Disadvantages: Sometimes disc drive can be really noisy when DVD's initially load.

...At first I wasn't convinced by up-scaling DVD player technology but was persuaded after reading an article in "What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision" magazine. Unable to afford a Blu-Ray player my sister and I bought the Panasonic DVD-S54 to match our parents brand new Panasonic TX-32LZD80 LCD television as their Christmas 2008 present. Admittedly it was a slightly selfish purchase as we both live at home and wanted to watch DVDs on the big new TV ourselves! We bought the player from the electrical retailer Comet for about £100 just before Christmas so there were no discounts applied. On Christmas day when opened we found a relatively small box tightly packed with the player in polystyrene packaging. All the components such as cables, remote and manuals were well presented in their own protective plastic bags, to keep them protected. The player...

Summer = Wimbledon = Robinsons Lemon Barley Water

Advantages: Refreshing, makes a great cold drink in the summer
Disadvantages: Quite a bit of sugar - but perhaps not as much as some squashes?

...The end of June means Wimbledon, which means my mum spends a lot of time flicking between various tennis matches on TV. This late June/early July ritual is accepted as the norm in our house and such tennis exposure means that I have developed a good bit of Wimbledon general knowledge - and one trivial snippet that's made its way into my "things I just know" memory bank is that Robinsons drinks are always around on the court. I always assumed this to be down to some type of sponsorship deal going on (ets face it, you can't get much better advertising space than 10 hours or so per day on the BBC for a fortnight a year) but actually, the back of the bottle in our fridge tells me that Robinsons made the drink for the Wimbledon players back in 1934. A litre costs £1.46 at Tesco (assuming the price on their website is up-to-date) and it...

Review of Robinsons Lemon Barley Water

By Royal Appointment-Robinsons Blackcurrant Squash

Advantages: Refreshing and versatile
Disadvantages: none

...My young niece came to stay for the half term week and brought with her a supply of favourite goodies 'just in case' we didn't have them. One item she brought was Robinsons apple and blackcurrant, no added sugar, squash. She was quite right because although we had the orange squash, since every one has all ways said they didn't like blackcurrant, we didn't have this at home. So she did us all a favour because we all ended up liking it and I will probably be buying it again. ○◊○ Who are Robinsons? ○◊○ The company started as Robinson & Belville in 1823 making 'patent barley and groats'. Patent barley was sold in powder form to which boiling water was added to make into a drink. In 1862 the company merged with Keen & Son, which was a mustard business. In 1903 they were then acquired by...
