Frame of the Future

Advantages: Great photo quality, effecient, can hold 500 pictures
Disadvantages: never taken 500 photos, hassle with memory card, easily forgotten

...Me and my mum saw our doctor with a digital frame in her office and we thought that was such a clever device we just had to get one. In a world where everything is pretty much digital it seemed logical to show our photos from our digital camera on this rather than leaving them on the computer. ***The Product*** It has a 7inch LCD frame which is photo quality. It will rotate your picture in the frame for correct viewing of landscape and portrait positions. The multi-card slot accepts Memory Stick, Memory Stick Duo, SD, MMC, CompactFlash, MicroDrive or xD media. Pictures from your computer can be easily transfered to the frame's memory with no software needed. The internal memory is 256MB which can hold up to 500 pictures to display on your frame. You can choose whether you wish to use the slideshow mode to show your photos or choose...

Review of Sony DPF-D70 - Digital photo frame - flash 256 MB - 7"

A den on top of the climbing frame

Advantages: good fun
Disadvantages: none

...My daughter bought a climbing frame for the children last summer and bought a climbing frame tent to go with it. We visited my daughter last week and wondered where my grandson aged 5 was. Adrian is sulking my daughter said he couldn't get his own way. Where is he then ? In the climbing frame tent that's his favorite sulking place. This climbing frame tent makes a good place to hide from the world. Your child can climb their climbing frame then pretend they are in their tree house. There is a platform for this tent so your child can sit inside it. This tent fits on top of a TP climbing frame and gives an extra dimension to climbing activities. The fabric this tent is made of is waterproof. It is a tough rip stop nylon type material like a tent is made of, quite thick and strong. There are 2 roll up doors which can be fixed...

Review of Early Learning Centre TP Explorer Den

Climbing...one for the ladies

Advantages: It's awesome!!
Disadvantages: Getting to decent crags from the South East

...I have been climbing for more than 15 years now. Climbing actually encompasses a fairly broad range of activities, so I thought I?d start by explaining where I fit in. I am not one of these mad fools who think that tramping all day up a mountain in miserable cold wet conditions is fun. I enjoy technical rock climbing, on sea cliffs or inland crags, preferably on a hot sunny day and preferably with a very short walk from the car park :-) You can also climb on indoor, man-made walls, and this is where most people now start. New indoor climbing centres seem to be springing up all over the UK, and you can find the wall nearest you via the British Mountaining Council website, http://www.thebmc.co.uk/indoor/walls/wall.asp. Most offer introductory courses for a small fee. For example, the wall nearest to me (which I am not advertising...

Review of Climbing - General

SONY - THE NAME FOR FRAME ACCLAIM

Advantages: Crisp images, easy to use, looks lovely, large screen
Disadvantages: No USB Cable supplied - so no way of getting photographs onto the frame without buying one

...My Mum, bless her, can?t get her head around viewing photographs on a computer monitor, she is of the generation that like their pictures in albums or in a frame, to be enjoyed at her leisure, preferably in a comfy chair, and without the need for constant mouse clicking. Between the family members with digital cameras we have a fair number of digital photographs, numbering into the thousands in fact, but not having a limitless supply of ink and photo paper printing them off would be immensely costly, as well as time consuming. Clearly something had to be done to open up these many photographs to Mum, which is how I found myself toying with the idea of a digital photo frame for Mothers Day. The brief was to find one that was simple to operate, aesthetically pleasing and with enough storage to hold as many photographs as we could throw...

Review of Sony DPF-V900 - Digital photo frame - flash 512 MB - 9"

A Challenge like no other!

Advantages: Great Fun for the children
Disadvantages: Time consuming construction

...Just before Christmas my mother and I were having a discussion about what to buy the boys for presents. My mother then came up with the brilliant idea of buying a climbing that we could add extra things to for their birthdays/Xmas etc. I say brilliant but as you read on you'll know that I begin to change my mind! ***** The Challenger Climbing Frame ***** The challenger climbing frame is produced and supplied by TP Toys. TP Toys specialise in Activity toys primarily for outdoor play. They were founded almost 50 years ago. They produce several different type of climbing frames both in steel and wood. We opted for the challenger climbing frame as this is the one I had when I was a child. So apart from I had it as a child what were the other reasons for plumping for this over the explorer or a wooden one. Firstly the wooden ones are...

Review of Tp Activity Toys Challenger Climbing Frame

The climbers are framed by this gardman willow trellis

Advantages: goiod support
Disadvantages: price

...purpose. Being heavy the planter stops the trellis being blown over and I can plant flowers and a climber in the planter too. How it copes with climbing plants~~~~~ Very well really I do not have a climber up it this year so it looks a bit barren , I shall remedy that at the garden centre soon by buying a new climber of some sort. The last climber I had, a honeysuckle turned up its toes last year. There is plenty of room in the pot for plants I have lots of spring bulbs then bedding plants in it Success and how it looks ~~~~~~ This is a successful screen it could do with being fitted a bit firmer but we rarely have winds strong enough to move it much. It does look a lot better than staring at my wheelie bins. Positioning ~~~~~~~~~~~ This open weave framed trellis is good support for climbing plants, either against...

Review of Gardman Framed Willow Trellis Panel

Climbing The Mango Trees

Advantages: A beautiful and evocotive read, well-illustrated, bonus family recipes.
Disadvantages: none

...Madhur Jaffrey is the undoubted world authority on Indian cuisine, as well as being a successful actress and an award-winning author of numerous cookery books. In Climbing The Mango Trees she tells the story of her childhood, growing up in a wealthy, very extended family in Delhi. Madhur dedicates her book to her grandparents for 'helping to make their grandchildren who we all are'. The majority of her reminiscences are delightful, enjoyable childhood recollections and reflections, which are a pleasure to read. There are, however, some heart-rendering moments, and running throughout the book is a very dark undertone surrounding the family's relationship to one uncle, which certainly makes poignant reading, and also shows that Madhur can portray difficult matter in a subtle and suggestive way. As well as the family tales, around which...

Review of Climbing The Mango Trees - A Memoir Of A Childhood In India - Madhur Jaffrey

Who's been framed?

Advantages: Some of the clips are funny.
Disadvantages: Most of the clips are repeats and very out of date.

...You've Been Framed is a 'comedy' show where members of the public send in their home videos which will contain funny moments such as mishaps or tricks being pulled on people. The show has been running for almost 20 years now and this shows in some of the clips that they show which are from the 80's and 90's and therefore everything in them seems very out of date (clothes, hair, toys etc). There have been a number of hosts over the years, the most memorable being Jeremy Beadle (RIP) and Lisa Riley. It is currently shown on Saturdays, late afternoon, on ITV1 and to be honest most of the clips look like ones I have seen before and the show is really not very enjoyable. The clips are quite standard and at one point the show had a few minutes where they would show you videos that had clearly been staged as for each video that...

Review of Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (Collector's Edition) (Live Action / Animated) (DVD)

Freeze Frame Shame!!!

Advantages: Gritty, Psychological Thriller Well acted by Lee Evans
Disadvantages: Very Little Publicity surrounded it's release

...This is a film that i picked up one day in Blockbuster videos knowing nothing about it. As a Lee Evans fan i thoguht i would give it a go. This film was very different to what i expected as there is very little direct humour in the film. Although the character that Lee Evans plays is laughable due to the fact you could imagine someone actually doing this in a constant state of Paranoia. The film follows Lee Evans character, Sean Veil as he tries to ensure that every single move he makes, and i mean EVERY single move is captured on video so that he has a complete record of exactly what he was doing and when. This is basically because he was tried as a murder suspect many years before and has become very Paranoid and feels he always needs an Alibi as he will be framed again. The film really gets moving however when another...
