Export beats it's brother

Advantages: Beats it's brother in everyway to be an average drink
Disadvantages: It's still only an average drink

...Yesterday it was plain old Carlsberg tonight it's the export, courtesy of my mother who's sharing her booze whilst we have some Chinese food she's got from Asda. So again, lets do the intelligent thing and...review it. Carlsberg are one of the cheaper lagers, this ones a bit more pricey than the normal ?green can version?, infact talking about the colours, this one inverts the normal can and is silver with a green trim. This time the can comes in the smaller and more average size of 440ml, and is 5% ABV so a far stronger drink than it's little weak brother (3.8%). The company we're first brought to my attention as being sponsors of Liverpools shirts when I was little but unbeknownst to me they were an alcoholic beverage manufacturer as opposed to just a name on a football shirt (I was young). The company were founded over 160 years...

Review of Carlsberg Export Lager

Good cars, prices, doesnt come through. STAY AWAY!

Advantages: Wide selection of cars, good prices.
Disadvantages: Cars never ship, so nullifies the advantages.

...As Im writing this review, its the middle of March. Three months ago, in the middle of December, I sent them the first half of the payment for the vehicle, after which they should have put it on a boat, then I pay the other half. Up to now they have not shipped the car, and can not even tell me when they expect to do that. Other people I know have both cars from other Japanese companies, and gotten theirs already. I was drawn to IBC Japan after a few people I know told me about them, and the professional look and functionality of their website. However, Id recommend you forget all that. Go with other sites that dont look as fancy, but get the job done. Autorec, Mehran, Avongroup are all worthy of mention. IBC's website has a lot of features you dont find anywhere, live Customer Service Reps, skype, the full works, but they just...

Review of IBC Japan Car Exporter

No wonder they export it

Advantages: Good adverts
Disadvantages: Poor packaging, no complexity

...After a recent opinion I wrote concerning Carlsberg PREMIUM Lager, it was suggested to me that Carlsberg EXPORT Lager was quite a decent beer. Now that's the sort of challenge this site could use more of. So at the first opportunity, I rushed off to Safeway as fast as my little legs would carry me, and purchased a 500ml bottle of CARLSBERG EXPORT LAGER for the not unreasonable price of 99p. I won't bore you with any facts about the brewery as I've already listed some of the more salient points in the previous opinion. Nor will I go into any detail about the bottle...save to mention it's green and by a remarkable co-incidence, has the words of the product boldly displayed on the label. Likewise, in keeping this opinion succinct, compendious, even terse - but not laconic, I won't deviate from the opinion with an interlude...

Review of Carlsberg Export Lager

Export strength lager at it's best

Advantages: Great tasting lager and its refreshing too
Disadvantages: A little pricey compared to weaker lagers

...?cold filtered? choice on pub taps, and whilst lo-alcohol beers are good for drivers, I would rather stick to a more refined number. Having discovered that Mythos was distinctly average and Amstel was a fairly horrendous alternative, I was forced into Heineken, and this two week dedication to the drink got me a taste up. But one problem greeted me on my return, where could I get this drink on tap in this country. I soon realised that Heineken was nowhere to be found, yes you could buy the bottles, but for that 5.0% export flavour you would have to in fact export yourself to the continent. Fortunately the good people at Heineken began to export it here on mass. The first time I discovered the cans was in a pokey corner shop in Charlton, myself and my Greek flatmate (no relation to the holiday) fell upon it in wondrous gaze. With haste...

Review of Heineken Export Lager

heineken export lager...

Advantages: How refreshing and beautiful.
Disadvantages: not dark and bitter, some may say it is pissy or watery.

...thought and consideration, basically we love the thing. "HOW REFRESHING...HOW HEINEKEN" Imprint this in your mind, the ads are great, the man who made it is great, the beer is great and the bottle is great anyone for a drink, choose Heineken, the no. 1 !!! Premium lager, exported from the beer capitalof the world or so I think. A gorgeous delicious, creamy, refreshing, cold, bitter-sweet symphonie of music and of pure elegance, all wrapped up in a splendidly styled , green adn red, bottle, see buy and fly into your imagination. Live the music, live MR HEINEKEN AND LONG LIVE THE QUEEN OF HOLLAND!!?......

Review of Heineken Export Lager

Pearl Export ELX, my kinda kit !!!

Advantages: looks great, sounds great, durable
Disadvantages: ummmm . . . . ???? . . . I dare not

...I own a Pearl Export ELX Standard size kit and what can I say except WOW !!! I have had various kits, ok lets look back at what I had before the Pearl ELX. I had, a Simmons Electronic kit, great for that heavy 80's disco vibe. A Yamaha DTX V.2, verry cool for chruch and so on, but no real drummer plays on electronic kits. I then bought a Gretsch Catalina Birch, fusion, great kit, but it allways lacked something. I then bought a Sonor Force 2003, not bad at all, but the kick, the 16" floor and the 13" tom never quite made me jump for joy. Then I owned a Tama Superstar Custom, fusion. Verry nice kit, but I reckon if I had an extra 16" tom, the kit would have been what I wanted. Finally I saw an add of a second Pearl ELX, for R3000, roughly about a 187 pounds and what a great great kit. I put on some Evans EC2 heads and I got the best sound...

Review of Pearl Export Select Drumkit

An amazing car seat

Advantages: safe, cosy
Disadvantages: none

...Where to buy: This car seat is readily available. You can buy it from all the shops you'd expect to be able to buy them from including Halfords, mothercare, john lewis', toys r us etc. What do they cost: prices vary depending up on offers and stores but usually this car seat retails at £100. How do they attach? This car seat is different to many of the others on the market. It clips onto a base which is attached to your car, This makes it easy to get the car seat in and out of the car without waking up the baby. The car seat base is attached by the seat belt securing it in place and a metal leg which keeps it stable. Are they comfortable? This car seat is very padded and so a nice cosy seat for your baby. It comes with a head hugger which makes it cosy and safe for a newborn. This headhugger can be removed revealing much...

Review of Maxi-Cosi Cabrio Car Seat

great car seat

Advantages: see rview
Disadvantages: expense, heavy

...I bought this when I had my baby as it was apparently the best on the market and I really can't find fault with it at all it has been the most reliable of our baby products and can't rate it highly enough. This car seat is different from others as it is suitable for up to 9 months whilst the majority of others are just up to 6 months. The seat is well padded and has a 'head hugger' so it is safer for newborns. This headhugger can then be removed once your baby is big enough. The straps also can be adjusted once your baby grows so that it is still safe and comfortable. The straps are easy to use- at first they were fiddly but once you have the hang of them then you know what you're doing they're easy! once you have strapped your baby in you then pull on the straps to make them tight so that your baby is safetly in place...

Review of Maxi-Cosi Cabrio Car Seat

IBC Japan

Advantages: Excellent service, loads for pictures and honest infomation on cars.
Disadvantages: Some cars can be expensive.

...I have been dealing with IBC for a number of years now and I have never had the problems expeirenced with the person who wrote the last review. The only reason I can see they has trouble is that they may have bid on a car using the online auction and chickened out after the purchase. IBC has a policy of requiring a 100,000 jpy (?750) deposit to receive bidding rights. If you bid on a car, win the bid, and then decide not to buy the car then IBC is stuck with it and therefore keep your deposit And rightly so. However if you bid and you do not win, the deposit is refundable. As for other exporters, the concern I have always had is the lack of information about the car. Im not going to buy a car on the basis of a few pictures and a poor description if I do not have a good relationship with the exporter. With IBC you get as many...

Review of IBC Japan Car Exporter

The Export ELX - Yey or Nay?

Advantages: Sound, Look.
Disadvantages: Strong competitors in the same market.

...The Export select ELX is not a kit to ignore, when looking for something in the intermediate market. For its price (around £600), its hard to find another kit with both the sound quality and the looks to match the Pearl Export ELX. Its closest rival, the TAMA Rockstar, can just about match the finish but you wont get the same kind of quality until you upgrade to the Rockstar Custom range. A large difference in the Rockstar and Export ELX is seen when comparing the differences between fusion and rock setups. With the Rockstar, the difference in bass is clear, but the toms do not vary much in their tone. With the Export ELX, you can clearly notice a distinct change in pitch and tone between the two setups, on all aspects of the kit. The Export ELX also features Pearl's ISS tom mouting technology, which rivals TAMA's "Star...
