Lock it up

Advantages: Locks cases
Disadvantages: Not high security

...Antler combination lock On a recent foray abroad, I decided that it was about time I started locking my trusty holdall.. just because it has served me well for about 20years, doesn?t mean that it will always remain tightly shut when I get it off that carousel. So, needing something simple, and not with a key, I settled on the combination lock. I realised early on that I would lose a key, or put it into the bag for safe keeping, but realised that I could probably remember numbers. ~~Product and Packaging~~ My combination lock is in orange, but I have seen the blue ones for sale. These type of locks are for zipped cases?ones which have zips which join together and can be fastened I assume. It is about 5cm in length and has 3 small dials at the side with a metal hook like contraption which snaps closed like other...

Combination boilers

Advantages: Good where there is a lack of space.
Disadvantages: Not always the best option.

...Combination boilers (also known as combi boilers) are the most popular boilers in the UK. With a combination boiler you have one unit which supplies both your heating and hot water, there are no separate tanks. Advantages of a combi boiler: Hot water supplied on demand. No hot water cylinder required thus saving space which is why a lot of people choose to have a combi. Hot water supplied at mains pressure. Disadvantages: Most combi boilers can only supply one tap at any one time. You will be left with no hot water if the boiler was to break down. Not the best option for larger homes. Cannot supply hot water and heating simultaneously. With a combi boiler, the water is supplied on demand, which means when you open a hot water tap the boiler will fire up to heat the cold water entering the boiler, the water is heated by what...

"LOCKED" INN . . .

Advantages: lovely rooms, great food, good location, easily accessible
Disadvantages: could be noisy at night

...This week I stayed at the Holiday Inn Camden Lock for three nights while I was in London for work. My only previous trips to London have had me staying in the ExCel Novotel in Docklands so this was a new experience for me. LOCATION The hotel is located in Camden, next to (predictably!) Camden Lock. It is about a five minute walk from Camden Town tube station, which makes it fairly convenient if you?re having to use public transport to reach it. The website states that the hotel is also outwith the congestion zone, which I guess means you could drive down to the hotel and then use it as a base to get elsewhere using the tube or buses. (Although its worth noting that the website also states the car parking facility is 1km away!) As it is right off the main street, it is very handy for all the shops, restaurants and bars too. Which...

TSA Approved - Travel to the US securely

Advantages: Customs can check bags without any damage
Disadvantages: None

...This Combination padlock is the official TSA (Transportation Security Administration) Lock for travelling to the United States, and is a recent addition to our travel accessories. From the outside it looks just like any old combination lock, but when you look underneath you can see a small socket which presumably is the place where the customs officials can open the padlock. That socket is the reason this lock is different to other combination locks, each lock can be opened and relocked by staff at the airports. This saves them having to cut into your case, or break off the padlock if they wish to examine the contents of your case. Initially I thought ?well, that doesn?t make it very safe? but if customs decide they want to examine your bags, they will do so whether it causes irrevocable damage or not (I?ve seen suitcases...

Lego Technic Combine Harvester

Advantages: Looks so cool! Fun to assemble
Disadvantages: Don't misplace any pieces!

...find it so rewarding putting the pieces together and following the instructions to make something that looks really impressive. It looks really good on display and is a great conversation piece! It is currently looking very swish on a table in the corner of our sitting room. The total length of the combine harvester is a massive 17 inches! It really is impressive. The age on the box is 10 - 16 years, but personally I thought this was quite tricky to make, especially since there are so many pieces and the actual combine harvester is so big. I'm not sure I would have managed it when I was 10! There are 1025 pieces in the model. I would take care not to loose any pieces whilst making this, we had to stall our assembling for a little while while we searched for one tiny piece that we could not continue without! I would advise...

Lock, Stock and Two Thumbs Up!

Advantages: Great direction, acting, plot twists
Disadvantages: Bad lannguage and rather bloodthirsty - you have been warned!!

... LOCK, STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS film only review Eddy: "They're armed." Soap: "Armed!? armed with what?" Eddy: "Err, bad breath, colourful language, feather duster... what do you think they're gonna be armed with? Guns, you tit!" Soap: "A minute ago this was the safest job in the world. Now it's turning into a bad day in Bosnia." In 1998 an unknown British film Director named Guy Ritchie set off to film a side of London that was rarely seen. A deep underground syndicate of crime, corruption, and power; but instead of documenting it, and sulking his viewers in darkness, he made it a damn good time. A surprising sketch of wonderful ideas, situations, and dialogue. In 1999 Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels was released world wide. It introduced the world to Ritchie's groovy stylized...

Lock Up

Advantages: One of Stallone's "Better" Performances, The Score, Cast, Brutal Action
Disadvantages: Predictable, Unrealistic

...How much can a man take?, how far can he be pushed before he fights back? This is the premise of Lock Up: a jailhouse battle of wills movie that attempts to portray the harsh realities of the justice system, with enough blood and machoism to feed your blood thirst. Lock Up is perhaps a brutal version of Rocky: set in the very real Rahway Prison, East Jersey, Stallone plays the emotional nice guy Frank Leone who only wants to do the time for escaping his previous sentence to see his dying step dad. Unfortunately, the warden Drumgoole (Donald Sutherland) has other ideas: dragging Leone from his cell in the middle of night and transferring him to his maximum security prison, where he proceeds to beat him senseless via his corrupt dealings with the bad boy inmates. With little interest at the time of its release, Lock Up was lost...

A rubbish way of locking your loo!

Advantages: ummm any?! no!
Disadvantages: Doesn't stick at all!

...I looked into buying this when I decided I needed to child proof my home! My baby isn't quite at the age yet where she's putting her hands down the toilet or trapping her fingers between the seat of the loo but my friend's toddlers are and it's yet another thing to think about- is another teddy going to be dropped down the loo again?! I saw this advertised in a magazine and thought it looked like a good idea. It's aim is to keep the toilet lid firmly shut so that children don't drop things down the loo or put their fingers into the unhygenic water. I guess it could also be used to stop dogs drinking out of it too! It sticks on with adhesive on the side of the lock. It's very easy to secure on and very easy to use- you just squeeze the side of it to open it when you want to lift the lid so very straight forward. However, what I...

Kensington Laptop Lock

Advantages: Increase in laptop security
Disadvantages: Not the ultimate solution, but that cant be helped.

...and walking away with it when your back is turned or when you aren?t there for a small amount of time (but to be honest, just don?t leave it alone in the first place!!!) WHAT IT DOESN?T DO -------------------------------- This goes without saying, and I hope that I have been careful in NOT giving the image that this will stop even the most determined thief. It won?t. The port that the lock attaches to isn?t indestructible by any means, and if you wrenched hard enough you could probably remove the lock end in the laptop. However if they did manage to get it out, it would probably cause considerable damage to the laptop chassis anyhow, reducing its usage and value. USABILITY --------------- Having had this lock for about a year, I can safely say that it really hasn?t been tested in the old ?please don?t nick my lovely expensive laptop...

Threatening Behaviour with a D-Lock

Advantages: It is a Solid Chunk of metal
Disadvantages: No Guarantee in New Jersey

...Cycle security is something that is essential these days, especially when I live. So when choosing a lock you need to get something that is secure. This lock cost me 25 quid from my local bike shop, and if it is not stocked by yours then ask for advice. It is a D-Lock, which means that it is D shaped, obviously. It consists of a big u shaped metal tube coated in tough black plastic padlock that fits securely onto the lock. The best was to secure your bike is to find a suitable post or cycle stand. Then feed the lock through the rear wheel and the frame, this secures the rear wheel as well as the bike frame, the instructions are quite clear anyway. You can also attach a chain to secure the front wheel as well. Again the instructions show this very clearly. Once secured in this manner it would take a very persistent bike thief...
