Rug-tastic!

Advantages: gr8 fun
Disadvantages: none

...Roads Play Rug..... Argos sell these rather large rugs for a good price of £10. We bought one for Jack so he could use his rather large collection of cars playing on the roads that are printed on the rug. Jack totoally loves it and it was well worth themoney. The rug is about 1 ½ meters by 1 meter and the colours are mainly grey and green because of the roads and gardens that are drawn onto the rug. There is also a lot of buildings drawn in on the rug too such as the police station, school and hotels. The rug is perfect for playing on and a good tough material that will take a lot of mess. I found cleaning the rug with carpet cleaner easily and hassle free and in these messy days of Jack spilling things I am also protecting my carpet underneath. The rug seems huge to Jack and he is able to spend a lot of time travelling...

External Hard-drive fit for rugged adventures

Advantages: Fast transfer speed, protection from knocks and drops
Disadvantages: Fairly high price

...The LaCie Rugged All-Terrain External 250 hard-drive is a portable storage device which will allow you to store 250gb of multimedia files such as pictures, music and video. You will obviously also be able to hold documents and other files as well (e.g. software installations). Measuring at 9 cm wide, 14.5 cm long, 2.5 cm in height and weighing just 250 grams, making the LaCie external hard-drive very light as well as portable. The hard-drive is portable in the way that it is very light, the only thing you have to take into account is that you will require a medium to large sized pocket or any form of bag in order to carry the device. You could always opt to just carrying it around in your hand, which is not very practical in everyday life. All external and internal hard-drives state a certain amount of memory capacity, but in fact...

Don't sweep this under the rug

Advantages: Fanastic lyrics & music
Disadvantages: 2 weaker tracks

...Answering her critics who call her a man hater, on 'Under Rug Swept' Alanis displays a new maturity. Yes, she sings about failed relationships and egotistical men, but she also likes men as difficult as men find that it to believe that! The general tone of the CD is upbeat, although tracks 4 and 7 are slower and more melancholy/pensive. Even the songs that are bitter or sad have a certain calm strength to them rather than a vindictive air a la 'Jagged Little Pill'. Alanis has moved on and grown up, although the past still affects her ('flinch'). Most people know Alanis Morissette from her debut album 'Jagged Little Pill'(1995). If they did not listen to her subsequent releases ('Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie' [1998] and 'MTV Unplugged' [1999]) they will be pleased to hear her voice has developed and strengthened, lost some...

Regal Masta Stable Rug great fitting for the larger horse

Advantages: Superb fitting, high neck, deep pattern
Disadvantages: none found yet

...I have one of the above rugs it is in my opinion a fantastic fitting rug for the larger boned horse. Masta rugs have the deep pattern. which I think suits the larger horse The high neck on this rug is good and I find helps alleviate rug rubs I have had trouble in the past with rugs slipping as they have not been deep enough but not with this fits like a glove on my big girl. I have found this rug to be hard wearing and my horse is not careful with her rugs, lesser rugs have ended up in tatters It comes up like new when cleaned, what more could I ask for.. All in all in my opinion a rug that is worth every penny I spent on it....

CoolerMaster CM690 is the master!

Advantages: Cheap, well ventilated, screw-less design
Disadvantages: None for me.

...When upgrading my computer and installed the new parts in my old case, this proved to be a bit of a silly idea as the temperatures it was running at was too high. Having largely spent out on the upgrade i wanted a fairly cheap case. The CoolerMaster CM690 looked like it was to fit the bill perfectly, its was fairly cheap approx £55, it did NOT come with power supply, which for me wasn't a problem as I'd just bought a new CoolerMaster Real Power M620 620W PSU. To start with this case looks very good and feels light when empty. It also feels sturdy and well balanced on my desk and on carpet, although a carpet with too high a pile on it could interfere with the PSU exhaust and the mounting for another fan. The front and top of the case is basically a big grille which obviously helps with letting the hot air escape. Access is...

Kenwood CM651 - coffee maker

Advantages: great tasting coffee at a drinkable temperature
Disadvantages: looks quirky (but maybe you like that)

...Our last coffee machine (Tefal) had been part of our family for nine years - until he sadly died due to being put too close to a rather hot microwave and melted. We spent a very long time searching for a replacement product and finally decided upon the Kenwood CM651. While scouring the market we discovered many different coffee machines which were adorned with various spangaly extras such as timers and "aroma switches" but to be honest - all we wanted was a decent cup of COFFEE! THe Kenwood CM651 has a fairly basic design (which is exactly what we wanted - less to go wrong) Water is poured into the back reservoir which is easily accessable. We use the glass jug for this and discovered that it pours really cleanly without any dribbles! The Kenwoods capacity is 13 cups which is rather generous amount for such a petite design...

Fusion EN-CM525 Component Car Speakers

Advantages: Good value for money, Good sound quality, You get everything you need
Disadvantages: Tweeters can be slightly delicate (so use supplied cross-overs)

...What you get: 1 x pair of 13cm fusion woofer 2 x Grills 1 x pair of fusion tweeters 2 x cross-overs Speaker wire These are the set of speakers which you get with the fusion '4 corner package' (EN-4CNR). I have installed both the woofers and tweeters into the doors of my vauxhall corsa and the sound quality compared with the old factory standard ones is by far a big improvement. I am not using the provided cross-overs purely because they are rather large and secondly my car already has cross-overs in the door. Sound Quality: Originally I had some pioneer 13cm coaxiles which I was very disapointed with as they didn't even seem to be as good as my old standard speakers. When I purchased these I wasn't expecting too much from them to be honest. Like with the 6x9's which I also got in the package I have actually been rather...

TORO 40CM ELECTRIC RECYCLER MOWER 21072

Advantages: Recycles grass clippings, cuts all grass lengths
Disadvantages: Not good for tight spaces, no roller

...Toro Electric Recycler Mower (40cm rotary £229) 21072, 1400 watt electric induction motor Ideal for small/medium sized lawns. It's that time of year again, the grass is growing, the sap is rising, out comes the trusty old mower - "oh****", perhaps its not so trusty after all. Down at the garden centre staff are busy dusting down the machinery and gemming up on the mower manuals to see who can make the best sales. Believe me, ( I have worked in these places) they're not interested in sending you home with a mower best suiting your needs. At the end of the day its sales figures that matter. After being let down by my trusty old flymo last year, I did a little research and brought home a Toro Electric Recycler (40cm, rotary) Mower. I am very pleased with it. It does a quick, quality, no frills (stripes) job and I'm quite...

Rugged Rucksack

Advantages: good-looking, durable
Disadvantages: none

...rucksack market, how it can be cool to have something everybody else around you has, is beyond me. Eastpak make rucksacks with wild colours and bold prints, the unicoloured ones are in the majority, though, at least in Germany. I?ve got a dark blue one, a simple specimen ( 40 x 30 x 19 cm), its brand name is Dakota. It has only one big compartment with a zipper running down on either side nearly to the bottom so that it can be opened wide, very convenient. A pocket nearly half the size of the front side is sewn on. On its upper part is the logo, a red globe with the name Eastpak® U.S.A. This pocket has a zipper for an inside pocket the size of a wallet (it's not advisable to put the wallet there, though, too easy to reach for pickpockets). The adjustable black, padded straps are six cm broad. They stay well on your shoulders if your...

Magnetise your Mount

Advantages: Magnotherapy
Disadvantages: Unknown

...sure that this situation will change in the near future. The rug is made of blue mesh fabric with sheepskin padding around the neck. It has blue trimming and straps. The mesh fabric makes the rug ?breathable? and lightweight enough to be worn under other blankets. It has cross-straps under the belly with both ?touch and close? fastenings and a clasp around the chest to make it a secure fit. The rug comes in four sizes: 160cm (5?3?), 175cm (5?9?), 191cm (6?3?) and 198cm (6?6?). The recommended retail price is £390 for all sizes. Anyone who recognises the benefits of magnotherapy will realise that this is a very competitive price for such an article. Ecoflow also have a 90 day performance guarantee and a twelve month guarantee against faulty parts and workmanship. There is also a Customer Loyalty Scheme whereby the customer...
