Review of Big Ben, London

BIG BONG

Advantages: Hearing Big Ben. The Houses of Parliament
Disadvantages: Not open to the general public

...Big Ben, situated in Westminster, London, is one of the many attractions in the big city for tourists. Goodness knows why, because it's only a clock, for goodness sake! Well, it is joined to the Houses of Parliament, so there's that as well to see, of course! You will know when Parliament is in session as a light shines above the clock face. There are 4 dials on Big Ben, each measuring 23 feet square. The minute hand is 14 food long, and the figures themselves are 2 foot high. 'Big Ben' is the name given to the 13 ton bell hung in the clock itself. It was named after the first Commissioner of Works, Sir Benjamin Hall. The bell first came from the Old Palace of Westminster. The BBC first started broadcasting the chimes on 12 December 1923, which is why it's so famous on New Years Eve. There is a microphone in the turrot...

Review of Big Ben, London

Ben Hur ~ A Tale of the CHRIST ~ (and His Times)

Advantages: 4-disc Collector's Box Set includes fully-restored 1925 Silent Version with Carl Davis Score
Disadvantages: The Chariot Race, originally set at Antioch, was moved inconceivably to Jerusalem in 1959 version

...When you hear the name "Ben Hur" what comes to your mind? The famous Chariot Race in the arena against the Roman Messala? Think you of the galley slave rescuing Quintus Arrius after the sea battle with pirates? Or do you think about the setting ~ the babe born to be "King of the Jews" worshipped by magi (such as Balthazar, the Egyptian), brought up as a carpenter's son; then, as a rabbi, speaking peace and healing; then crucified with that same title "King of the Jews" nailed above His head? Of course, the story is All that ~ and MORE. When (American Civil War General) Lew Wallace wrote his tale "BEN HUR ~ A Tale Of The Christ" in the late nineteenth century, he was trying to place Jesus, Son of Mary and (as it seemed) Joseph, the carpenter from Nazareth, into the historical context of Roman Occupied Judea. How...

Review of Ben Hur (DVD)

Gentle Ben

Advantages: Ben, the two of us need look no more..........
Disadvantages: .......We both found what we were looking for

...Now I?m a big fan of Ben Sherman, I wear his shirts and T-shirts, I occasionally slip into his pants, and I always strap a watch of his onto my wrist and can be seen adorned with his sunglasses in the summer months. So when I heard tale that he had lent his good name to a range of deodorants and body sprays I was excited beyond compare. Now I could smell like my hero as well as wearing all of his quality clothing and accessories. Hot foot, I race to my local Tesco store in search of the latest addition to the body care range and a quick scan of the deodorant and body spray aisle soon had me united with the product in question. And to be fair, you?d be hard pushed not to notice Ben Sherman body spray as it comes resplendent in a lime green canister. Both the body spray and deodorant come in three scents, all given cheeky little names...

Review of Ben Sherman

Is that Ben on your back ?

Advantages: A good way of carrying things
Disadvantages: None

...Ready for school? ~~~ Don?t forget your backpack full of those essential things. There are so many backpacks around these days with pictures of favourite characters. I had to use a boring school satchel carried over 1 shoulder. So if your child is Hannah Montana mad or Ben 10 crazy you will find the back pack to suit them. I know a child who is Ben 10 mad so his parents bought him a back pack featuring Ben. This back pack is available from several sources. ToysRus have it for £9.99 Amazon have it from £12.99. Looks~ This is a black and green backpack. The main compartment is black with a green trim this closes with a long zip. This has the word Ben 10 written centre front .On the front of the bag there is a small zipped pocket this has Ben ten in an action shot .on it and is the green colour. On the sides of the bag there...

Review of Ben Hur (DVD)

Ben Eltons fertility questions

Advantages: fascinating, easy to read,
Disadvantages: far too absorbing

...As I am currently not working I have plenty of time on my hands and am so far using a fairly large chunk of it reading and re-reading some of the heaps of books that litter my bedroom (I was meant to be tidying up, but you know how rude it is to pick up a book and not read it don't you?). This is one that for whatever reason had previously been overlooked so must have been languishing in book purgatory for over a year, given that I have always enjoyed Ben Eltons other books it was time to devote my eyes to this one. It is well known that this book is about one of the hardest topics for any couple to come to terms with. The reasons behind infertility and the solutions to this problem. Of course it is also known that Ben Elton is writing from his own experiences as he and his wife had to get IVF treatment before they could become...

Review of Inconceivable - Ben Elton

A Monster of a Ben10 Scooter!

Advantages: Smart looking scooter. Sturdy and well made. My son loves his!
Disadvantages: Secret fold out drawer and little alien figures are a little bit of a gimmick

...it is effective once your child's worked out how to operate it. Since he's been using the scooter, my son has become much more confident about going out on his bike too, so I do think that riding the scooter has helped to develop his balance, as well as his confidence. It's a two-wheeled scooter so your child does need to be able to balance to ride it but it seems relatively easy to master. Overall, I'd highly recommend this item. It seems very well made. Everything is sturdy and securely attached. It pushes along well and has the usual padding on the handlebars. The wheels are big enough to get speed up but not overly clumpy and the bright Ben 10 graphics are smart enough to make your six year old the envy of the street! Ours has had regular use over the past nine months and is still going strong. Must be the alien power!...

Ben & Jerry's Bohemian Raspberry

Advantages: Tasty, fair amout of chunks and swirls, 10p goes to charity, helping the environment
Disadvantages: Expensive, hard to get the lid when first opened, not the healthiest

...~~~~~~~~~~ Ben & Jerry's ~~~~~~~~~~ Ben & Jerry's ice cream was founded by Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield and has now been brought by Unilever. They met in school and several years later after many unsuccessful and unenjoyed jobs they both attended a $5.00 course in ice cream making and after investing $12,000 they then opened their first 'scoop shop' in a gas station in Burlington, Vermont in 1978. It didn't take long for them to become very popular. Ben had no sense of taste so he relied on what he called 'mouth feel', and big chunks of all sorts of ingredients, especially chocolate became their signature, and it is still is to this day. In 1979 they began selling pints of ice cream out of the side of a VW camper van, they continued to grow and improve throughout the years and have now stand as one of the favourite brands...
