Light up your desk or not

Advantages: Can move the light into any position
Disadvantages: Gets way to hot

...Just before Christmas I brought myself I new desk for my computer and I decided that I would also get myself a lamp for the desk as I only had the main light of the room, so I had a look round and found this one, it looked ideal. ~Product~ It is an adjustable lamp. You have the option of moving 3 different parts of the lamp. At the top you have the head which you can move up and down or from side to side depending where you want the light to shine, you as have a metal stick that comes out of the head so you can move the head to where you want it. Then you have the mid section, this part just goes up and down so you can adjust the height of the lamp, which again I found very helpful. Then you have the bottom section this you can move round 360 degrees to suit you, so you have the light exactly how you want it. It came with a GU...

Top Gear

Advantages: Great entertainment
Disadvantages: None!

...Men of the world unite ? this is Top Gear. The ultimate car show. Forget the charade that is Fifth Gear over on Channel 5. BBC Two?s beloved Top Gear is the pinnacle of motoring shows. Made by the Beeb and hosted by Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond, this hourly show has been made for years now ? orginally it was more of a basic motoring review show with the likes of Clarkson and Tiff Needell, but it was completely revamped in 2002 and brought in May and Hammond to not only review brand new cars ? often sporty ones or ridiculous super cars ? but to task part in tasks to produce entertainment. The show isn?t religiously broken down into section but there are various parts of the show which occur each week. There?s always a ?Star in a Reasonably Priced Car? who will try a lap around the Top Gear track in a Chevrolet...

Top of the class

Advantages: Fun, easy to pick up, Multiplayer
Disadvantages: a lil dated

...Tennis, a sport that the greats are amazing at, the great matches amaze us, but to be honest, so few of us are actually any good at. Well for those like myself who's back-hand ends up on the rail way tracks (as in where the trains really go) and who's forehand smash usually results with my swan-diving the asphalt, Top Spin, is our friend. Published by Microsoft Game Studios, it was released in Q3 of 2003, to those Tennis watching fans, who are also partial to some video gaming action. Originally hitting the American market in October of 03, and Britain in November 03, Japan's releases was in July of 2004. The game was released to massive success, and was the Xbox's first major Tennis game. Latterly it was published by 2K Sports for the PS2, before spawning sequels in Top Spin 2 and Top Spin 3. The game which can be picked up...

Review of Top Spin (Xbox)

Top Programme

Advantages: good programme
Disadvantages: none

...Top Gear???? Top Gear is a motoring show that is broadcast n BBC2 on Sunday evenings at 8 o clock and repeated again during the week. There are three main presenters on the show and they are Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. Each of these presenters has their own quirkiness and their own very individual opinions relating to cars. The show lasts for an hour and you feel you are getting a lot packed into one show when watching it. There is usually a few new cars that are featured on the show and test driven by one or other of the presenters. There is also "The Stig" who is a racing driver dressed in all white driving suit with a blacked out visor on his helmet. The identity of "The Stig" is unknown and there is always a lot of speculation as to who really is in that driving suit (any ideas let me know...

Top Class!!

Advantages: Brilliant features, full of useful tips etc, available on subscription
Disadvantages: Can be deemed expensive, the hundreds of ads!

...In my stocking last Christmas, I recieved a small envelope in which looked quite intrueging. Inside the envelope was a subscription to one of my favourite magazines "TOP SANTE.Top Sante is, in my eyes classed as a "Special Magazine" and so I was pleased to recieve this gift as it meant I wouldn't have to splash out every month. The name Top Sante, comes from the french word "health". This indicates before you even read the magazine, that the contents will mainly be health related. My mum has been buying these magazines for 4 or 5 years and had saved up most of them. So you can imagine my delight when I came across a huge pile of them in one of my mum's drawers! Top Sante is a magazine which comes out monthy, normally on the 1st or 2nd day of the month. The magazine contains roughly around 140 pages, and each page is jam-packed full...

Top Gear review

Advantages: Very fun to watch, great chemistry, informative
Disadvantages: None

...Top Gear is a multi award winning TV show about cars that is broadcast on BBC 2 while repeats are shown on Dave. It started in 1977 as a conventional motoring show but, since it's relaunch in 2002, a lot of comedy and quirkiness has been injected into the show. It is currently on its 12th series. The show is presented by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, James May and The Stig, who drives all the featured cars around the Top Gear track to see which posts the fastest time. Jeremy Clarkson is synonymous with this show, having been one of the reasons the old Top Gear peaked in the '90's. Unfortunately, the show was cancelled in 2001 but brought back after Clarkson and producer Andy Wilman pitched a new format to the BBC executives. During the first series Clarkson was joined by Richard Hammond and Jason Dawe, who was replaced by James May...

Eleven on top? Never!

Advantages: Quick moving and fun to read
Disadvantages: nothing really!

...Janet Evanovich has written a whole series of books all centred around the incredible life of Stephanie Plum the fictitious American Bounty hunter with attitude. This story sees Stephanie tiring of her role, life is fast becoming one big hassle. There is no glamour attached to being covered in someone's spit, nearly swallowed by giant canines and forever being on the receiving end of a tirade of verbal abuse.

Review of Eleven On Top - Janet Evanovich

Blast your desktop with surround sound

Advantages: great value for 6 speaker system, loads of cables, remote control, quality design
Disadvantages: Only 5 watts per channel, so a little weak if used in a big room

...the speakers too far away. The speakers come with natty little stands which slide into the speaker, and have padded feet making them stable and well angled for most tables. You also get a monitor stand if you wish to balance the centre speaker on the top of your monitor, but given that the best sound comes from having the front three speakers on a level with each other, you will probably find it better to place the centre on the desk in front of the monitor. You even get little stickers to stick onto the back of the speakers, and onto the cabling identifying which speaker it is, so you will make no mistakes in plugging your speakers in. Then it is a simple case of plugging the (huge!) power supply into the subwoofer, and using the cable provided to plug the subwoofer into the soundcard of your computer. You can use the cable to create 2...

Vtech Alphabet Fun Fun FUN Desk

Advantages: makes learning fun
Disadvantages: screen can look confusing

...I bought the Alphabet fun desk for my daughter for Christmas. She had had the Vtech phonics toy but had outgrown it – time to upgrade! The alphabet fun desk is big and chunky and is sturdy enough to withstand the kind of treatment 4 year olds subject them to! It has a carry handle in the back so that your child can carry it easily as it is quite large. It has a keyboard with large buttons that are easy for a child to press; this goes in the order of the alphabet with 4 shape buttons at the end. Each key has the letter plus two words beginning with the letter plus a picture of each word. For example – a, ant, ape. The space bar is replaced with a big help button and there is a music and repeat button on either side. The screen is a LCD and the contrast can be adjusted to get the best picture. There is also a numerical...

Top Fear!

Advantages: Fun, thrilling to watch, completely bonkers
Disadvantages: Only an hour long

...Please note: this review is for the Top Gear POLAR SPECIAL and NOT for the show TOP GEAR. I have recently persuaded my partner round to my way of thinking when it comes to the TV program Top Gear. Consequently, I seem to be watching it on a loop at the moment, on BBC2 and the Sky channel Dave but I don't mind too much because it's fab. Anyway there was a special episode on last weekend called Top Gear: Polar Special. The title itself made it sound interesting so we decided to tune in, and what a wonderful hour of entertainment we got for that decision...marvellous! A little background, but not enough to bore you I hope! Top Gear is a motoring show presented by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May and is usually shown on a Sunday evening on BB2. The three men together test fast cars, do stupid things to cars and generally...
