Its on the ball

Advantages: efective little cleaner
Disadvantages: Noisy

...I have a small home so when I needed a new vacuum cleaner I chose the Dyson DC24 which is a smaller version of the standard model. It cost £189.99. I was expecting almost a child sized vacuum cleaner but there is not really much difference at all. It was so simple to put together, there are peel off stickers on the unit to explain things as you go. It only took me 5 minutes to have it assembled. The ball makes vacuuming effortless, and the head of the vacuum is narrow so its easy to get under the sofa, low tables, etc. It has strong suction as you would expect from a Dyson but it is surprising how full the cylinder is when you have finished. It really gets everything up. This does mean however that you need to empty the dust cylinder quite frequently. The power cable is short and not retractable which can look a bit untidy if it is...

Check the picture out - The boo ball

Advantages: Looks incrediable.
Disadvantages: Gets dirty quickly

...I have been bowling now for about 3 years and curretnly average around the 175 mark. I play for Nottinghamshire and Lenton. For those of you who dont know, in bowling , bowlers usualy carry 2 or more balls.........one of these is a "spare" ball. For picking up spares. These balls are very shiney so they skid in the lane oil, and have little/no tendancy to hook. Where as a reactive ball contains a weightblock to make the ball "break" when it reachs dry boards, spare balls have a even block which distrabutes the wright of the ball evenly. On to the ball....... I bought his ball about 4 months ago now, as I needed a new spare ball sine my old one had "worn out". I was looking in my local proshop and I came across this amxing item. Most bowling balls are a single colour, a few mixed colur, but this one revolutionised the indusrty...

Review of Ebonite Skull Bowling Balls

Forget Crazy Golf...Here is Crazy Bowling

Advantages: Fully inflatable so easy to set up and pack away
Disadvantages: Need a flat surface to play on

...pushchairs and cots. The Early Learning Center have a wide range of top quality toys and work in partnership with the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) to ensure their toys are of the highest standard. Many stores even open their doors specifically for parents to bring their children in to play with the toys on specific days. We have not been there for one of these days though on experience of going in the stores I find them very relaxed in allowing children to play with numerous toys around the shop floors anyway ? this is ones shop my daughter doesn?t mind going in when shopping! LETS GO BOWLING Crazy bowling consists of a completely inflatable playset with one brightly coloured bowling lane, six pins and 2 bowling balls. The lane is easy enough to blow up though does take a little bit of puff to get it going as there...

Review of Crazy Bowling

Goliath is a big hooking ball

Advantages: Hook potential, colour, price
Disadvantages: Discontinued

...The Brunswick BVP Goliath is part of their 'Value Performance' range of bowling balls together with BVP wizard, BVP Ambush, BVP rampage and the BVP punisher. The BVP is now a discontinued bowling ball replaced by the BVP Mammoth. The BVP range of bowling balls are supposed to give high end performance at value prices which they seem to do very well. The BVP Goliath has a high-load particle cover-stock (400 grit sanded) which up until the mammoth was the highest hook potential ball in Brunswick's history with a hook potential rating of 160. The two piece core of the goliath is a inverted bell core which gives a medium RG of 2.590. This gives a ball that hooks through the oil. The ball comes in a deep purple colour which is almost black which I think looks good. It isn't noticeably purple which is what I was after cause I'm not too...

Review of Brunswick BVP Goliath Deep Purple Bowling Ball

Bowling comes to the DS (again) - AMF Bowling Pinbusters

Advantages: Excellent range of multi player options
Disadvantages: Poor controls system, no touch screen support - generally repetitive game

...for children of most ages. In summary, this really is quite a limited game, as the main element of the bowling isn't really that much fun. Even with experience, the ball still doesn't go where you want it to, and the lack of stylus and touch screen support does take away from the game. There are positives, especially the impressive range of multi player options, but given the quality of the game play, it's not likely that you'd want to play using these features for long. (also on dooyoo under same name)...

Review of AMF Bowling: Pinbusters (Nintendo DS)

Crazy bowling

Advantages: Good fun, plastic so easy to keep clean
Disadvantages: Balls hard to blow up

...My son got this crazy bowling set for his birthday recently, and he has had great fun playing with it with his cousins and friends. It comprises of a bowling alley (about a metre and a half long), 6 skittles and 2 balls. Everything is plastic and inflatable, so they are great outdoor toys, and great to keep clean. The other good thing about them being inflatable is that they are easy to store away again when they come back down in size - they can just be put back in the box. That could also be a problem too, though - it means that each time you play with it you have to inflate everything. I have kept the bowling alley inflated and keep something on it outside so that it won't blow away, so that I just have to blow up the skittles and balls when my son wants to play with it. The skittles are easy enough to blow up but...

Ten Pin Bowling

Advantages: Fun
Disadvantages: Not cheap

...Ten Pin Bowling is really more of pastime in this country as opposed to a serious sport, whereas in the good old USA they take their games a lot more seriously, and it even gets on TV!! Most of us here will have experienced Ten Pin Bowling as a social event, with friends, in one the big bowling places such as Mega Bowl or Hollywood Bowl that inhabit just about shopping centre in the country. The nearest one to me is the Metro Centre, so when you go with your friends you normally do some shopping, eat some food and go bowling. The large bowling places are really rather good too. The one I go to has a bar, a fast food restaurant, loads of arcade machines and a large pool hall. There so much entertainment under one roof, and you really can spend hours (and lots of money) in one of these places. As far as the bowling goes it isn...

Review of Bowling - General

A Big Ball with a Big Impact

Advantages: cheap, easy to use (relatively), extremely effective, used for all sorts of training
Disadvantages: maybe its overall size

...The Reebok Gym ball is a fantastic cheap piece of gym equipment that will support your training needs in a plethora of different ways. As gym equipment goes, its value in correlation to its effectiveness is second to none. Gym balls (also known as fit balls, Swiss balls, body balls etc) have been utilised in health and fitness long before their obvious potential were used in gyms. Physiotherapists had been using the balls for years to aid the recovery of a number of different injury's. In particular, they were used in the recovery of back injury's as the ergonomic shape and support allowed the physiotherapist to create focussed core stability exercises. WHAT IS CORE STABILITY Ok without getting too scientific, core stability really relates to the deep muscles within the trunk of the spine (in particular the muscles around...

Dyson Ball DC25

Advantages: Very light and very manoeverable.
Disadvantages: Bit too light and moves around a lot.

...on the machine to stop it moving around. It comes with a 5 year guarantee which is not bad for household equipment, but the replacement filters are around £18 which i thought a bit expensive. The tools are easy to use and simple push in to the side of the machine. Very easy to clip on and off and of course saves storage space as they fit into the machine itsef. Removing the filters i found the top one easy, but the one in the ball very fiddly and quite hard to get out. On the whole i would recommend this product but only for small houses or flats. If you have a large home then i would suggest the larger and heavier model of this cleaner....

Dyson DC25 Animal - Having A Ball!

Advantages: Large collecting bin and great suction!
Disadvantages: Not so Lightweight, and Power Cord could be longer.

...I bought my Dyson DC25 Animal about a month ago now, and have been very pleasantly surprised by the results. My old vacuum worked perfectly and I was more than happy with it, but once it started emitting smoke during use, I knew it was time to purchase a replacement. I did a little internet research and as we have a cat, the animal dyson appeared to be our best option. I was intrigued by the "ball" by Dyson and went to Curry's to have a closer look. The handling of the Dyson Ball is very smooth and remarkably easy. Once you've released the locking mechanism that keeps it upright, the vacuum becomes very flexible. No more pushing and shoving the vacuum around the room or furniture. With a simple turn of the wrist the Dyson goes exactly where you want it to go. I've found that the suction is incredible. With my previous...
