Review of Bremshey Pacer C Elliptical

Just off for a quick run!

Advantages: able to exercise at home, needs small space
Disadvantages: none

...Ever since the birth of my youngest daughter almost three years ago I seem to have been fighting a battle to lose weight - at times I seem to be winning and at others it's more like I'm losing, but one of the things that definitely seems to have helped was buying my York Pacer foldable treadmill. I used to be a bit of a gym addict, but with two young children I have neither the time nor the energy to spend evenings at the gym any more! In a moment of desperation, I said to my husband a couple of years ago 'If I can't go to the gym - why not bring the gym to me!' Well it seemed a good idea but of course wasn't practical in terms of space but we did work out that we probably had room for a tredmill! I did a bit or research and discovered that the York Pacer ws available at a cost of £300! This might seem quite expensive, but when I...

Review of York Pacer 3100

Unquestionably the greatest

Advantages: Good insight into the worlds greatest cycle racer
Disadvantages: Some poor narating and unimpressive book

...victories in these races. Of the grand tours he won the Tour De France 5 times, the Giro D'italia 5 times and the Vuelta Espana once to bring his grand total of grand tour wins to 11 which is absolutly astonishing even in comparison to Lance Armstrong who solely chose the Tour De France as his race. In his peaks between 1969 and 1975 he won an amazing 35% of all races he entered which today is still an achievement not matched. He owns the record for career wins which stands at a giant of 525 victories and 445 as a profesional. He was seriously untouchable in his sport. In the grand tours he won an amazing 34 Tour De France Stages. His career was not aslways a happy scene as he suffered from many crashes and injuries including an end of season race in which each ride had a motorcycle as a pacer and another cyclist and his pacer crashed right in...

Ultrasonex toothbrush - problem changing head

Advantages: brilliant clean and helps stop gum disease
Disadvantages: head very difficult if not impossible to change

...This is the product description: A sonic toothbrush with ultrasound. There are three brushing options to cope with extra needed performance and for more sensitive teeth. LED lights to indicate what mode is in use. There is a 3 minute timer which has an auto shut off and also a pacer function to make sure you have even brushing.of all four quadrants in your mouth There is a lightweight and easy grip handle. . These brushes definately help with gum disease and my dentist actually commented on how good my teeth looked compared to previous visits. I had one of these toothbrushes for about 18 months and was very impressed with how well it cleaned my teeth. It definately made a sonic sort of vibrating which seemed to clean even better than the previous electric tooth brush I had with a circular head. The fact that the head was...

Review of Ultrasonex Phaser Toothbrush

Cheap cadence computer

Advantages: Has a cadence sensor, good for turbo training
Disadvantages: Wired, small screen, not waterproof, useless for outdoor use

...Despite its name the Trek Incite 11i computer has just ten functions, which include current speed, an odometer, trip distance, elapsed time, 12/24 hour clock, average speed, pacer, maximum speed, temperature and cadence. The cadence sensor measures how many revolutions per minute you are turning the pedals, and this function is generally found on much more expensive cycling computers, therefore you may wish to consider this computer if you participate in spinning training. Except for the temperature function, all functions are likely to be used by all cyclists in training. Personally, I can?t see the point of the temperature feature as it doesn?t add anything to the overall computer. One thing to note is the lack of stopwatch, which is a bit of a let down, however, there is a clock that starts once you start pedalling which you...

Review of Trek Incite 11i Cadence Computer

Absent Friends

Advantages: Good batting line up
Disadvantages: Missing Sales and Hayden, bowling attack weak

...had as much success this year. Nor has brother Alec who also appears to have stopped progressing. The remainder of the attack has been disappointing and perhaps Northants would do better to choose an experienced bowler as their overseas player to carry more of the attack and perhaps help some of the current County players. Northants did sign Matthew Cassar from Derbyshire as an all-rounder and Lesroy Weekes who appeared for Yorkshire last season but both have failed to hold down a place in the side. Jason Brown is a promising spinner, Paul Taylor an average medium pacer. Really they are as an attack just too ordinary to compete against the likes of Surrey, Yorkshire or Lancashire. It will continue to be a difficult season for Northants and the second division is beckoning....

Review of Northants

It's more messy if you eat it sideways

Advantages: Tastes good
Disadvantages: Makes a hell of a mess

...And so, for my first foray into the "Food and Beverage" section, I've went for the coward's way out (no, not suicide), and taken an easy option: the ubiquitous Flake bar - the crumbliest, flakiest milk chocolate in the world.... Ahem - sorry about that. Note to self - do not repeat Mr.Cadbury's advertising blurb or people will think you're plagiarising. Now where was I? Oh yeah, Flakes. Chocolate bars and other sweeties tend to come and go over the years, depending on their popularity. I'm still mourning the loss of Splicer bars, Pacer chewy mints, Relays (they were far superior to Toffets - they didn't shatter your tooth enamel when you bit one for a start), and in particular I am suffering the loss of the coconut variety Boost bar to this day. *sob*. So it is a testimony to the popularity of a choccy bar if it is a particularly...

Review of Cadbury Flake

Another remnant of a mis-spent youth

Advantages: Nice change from normal boring chocolate
Disadvantages: Might make you nostalgic for other "childhood sweeties" like the hugely over-rated mouth-shredders, Spangles. Don't get me started.

...Cast your mind back, my friends, to the days when this was all fields, and beer were tuppence 'appeny (to be read in a bad comedy Yorkshire accent). In other words, go back to your childhood. Now we've all got TV shows that we remember from our more youthful days (Mr.Benn or Chorlton And The Wheelies, anyone?), but there's also other stuff. Like penny dainties, white tubes of Smarties, Pacer mints - and Caramacs. And guess what? You still get Caramacs today! Yippee! Sorry, got a bit over-excited there. Anyway, Caramacs (nightmare to type, by the way). My earliest memory of a Caramac wasn't of a bar, but of an Easter Egg. A Caramac Easter Egg. An Easter Egg that was so hard, that to this day fragments of it are used as drill-bits on North Sea oil platforms. Seriously, this egg was harder than Vinnie Jones. Not that the bars were, mind...

Review of Nestle Caramac

Best brush on the market by dental profession

Advantages: very good cleaning action, removing stains and plaque
Disadvantages: cost

...I have been recommending Sonicare for sometime now to my patients. The company firstly is very easy to talk to and are extremly helpful IF you have a problem...out of the several I have sold to patients only one brush unit was faulty- I phoned and in 24hours a new unit arrived with a complimentary brush head. The unit its self is a very cleverly thought one..it has a QUAD-PACER (which simple means its a two minute clean) Firstly you start with one quadrant of your mouth and when the brush bleeps you move to the next and so on. I have found that patient using this product return to me with much healther gums and much less scale (Tar-tar). Okay it is more expensive than your run of the mill electric toothbrushes, but IT IS NOT your run of mill brush--- one average a electric brush moves at about 8,000 turns a minute.. Sonicare is...
