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...

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...

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)...

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...

  ♦Cosmic Cleaning With Saturn's Balls♦

Advantages: Eco Friendly, Could save you money in the long term
Disadvantages: Expensive initial cost, Not too good without Stain Remover

...My mum gave me this set of Ecozone Ecoballs® after she had received them as a gift. She asked me to try them out to see what I thought about them, knowing I like trying out new products. The box contained 3 Ecoballs®, 3 refill packs, 45ml tube of Ecozone stain remover and a very handy instruction leaflet. Apparently the contents of the box allow you to do 1000 washes based on a 30 minute cycle in the washing machine. (The balls with pellets last up to 750 washes and the refills included provide an additional 250 washes) Those in hard water areas may achieve a lower amount. Just to let you know we live in a soft water area and a 60°c wash takes 1 hour 30 minutes in my machine, so I was interested to see how these perform ♦ WHAT ARE THEY ♦ Ecoballs® are an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional washing...

Review of Eco-Balls

Playing with balls

Advantages: Stupid, funny, stupidly funny and Walken
Disadvantages: It is very very stupid!

...Balls of Fury is one of those marmite films? you will either love it or hate it. It is very similar to the Will Ferrell/Jon Heder ice skating comedy 'Blades of Glory' in that it is very very stupid, involves a former sports champion who has lost his way and a journey to regain his honour and name? well kind of! Randy Daytona was twelve when he was at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. He was the red hot favourite for the table tennis gold and America's darling. There was no way he was going to lose, unless something made him nervous or distracted him. His father did just this by telling him he had bet a fortune on his son winning with the local Triads. Faced with this Daytona fell apart and not only lost but embarrassed himself the world over. 18 years later Randy still plays, but not competitively. Now he is a table tennis entertainer...
