In need of a Diesel engine

Advantages: Great car scenes
Disadvantages: Poor plot, a bit cliche

...Fast 2 Furious" has no Diesel in its engine, it still manages to splutter along providing entertainment and enjoyment through the numerous action sequences and the pimped up cars. Of course a much better plot would have helped this film no end, but as this seems like it was furiously rushed out to capitalize on the success of the original just 2 years earlier, it is no surprise that it is somewhat mediocre. I doubt if an appearance of Mr. Diesel would have lifted the film to above this, but then it would have been nice. Although the lack of a decent plot may put a lot of people off, "2 Fast 2 Furious" definitely has a target audience which it will appeal to, mainly the fans of the original film and those who like to watch fast cars doing fast stunts amongst beautiful looking people. For those who did enjoy the original may feel slightly...

Thomas The Tank Engine and Friends

Advantages: Great stories, good engines, educational experience
Disadvantages: The new stories aren't as good

...I am now 17 years old, but I do still love watching the odd Thomas The Tank Engine story very ocassionly. I grew up watching it and I had, and still do have, most of the videos and story books. I was pleased to discover that the programmes and concept is still going strong. They are continuing to make new stories and introduce more characters, both of which have some positive and negative costs. I will write everything that I know about Thomas The Tank Engine and try and gives those of you who haven't seen it before, a good idea of what it all involves. Thomas The Tank Engine (and Friends), is a childrens programme about the trains that operate on the island of Sodor. It follows them through their ups and downs and also their funny moods and strops that they get into. Each story tends to have a message at the end of it and it...

Diesel - one to watch!

Advantages: Subtle, classic, functional, comfortable
Disadvantages: Hard to find replacement strap

...For my 21st birthday, I decided that I wanted my parents to give me something I could keep for years to come. Jewellery was of course the first thing that sprung to mind. I didn't want a necklace I'd never wear, or a bracelet that would come out of its box once a year, so I decided to choose a nice watch. I was living in Paris at the time, so enjoyed leisurely wandering around Galeries Lafayette and Printemps trying to pick out the watch that I wanted. I allowed myself to dream a little, wandering around the Bvlgari and Chanel stands, even wandering into the Swarovski shop. After several months, I still hadn't found The Perfect Watch, although I was umming and aahing about the DZ5102, essentially the white version of this watch. When I happened across this watch - DZ5104 - the same watch but in black, I knew I'd found it. ??Diesel...

Review of Diesel DZ5104 Ladies' Watch

Lots of Plus's to Diesel Plus!

Advantages: cheap compared to other perfumes
Disadvantages: unable to see how much fragrance you have left as bottle is not see through

...I have an addiction to perfumes. Currently I have around 60 bottles (and about 5 more after Christmas presents). I was bought Diesel Zero Plus Feminine for Christmas last year. The Packaging Diesel Zero Plus Feminine comes with really unique packaging. It kind of has a perspex dome which sits on a base. The base then has two raised plastic sections, which allows the bottle to the wedged in place on the base. When you first open a new bottle, there is a clamp on the spray section at the top to stop the bottle being sprayed accidentally. The bottle itself is a bright red colour, with a silver top. Diesel Zero Plus Feminine is written on the bottle, along with information about the perfume, for example, on my bottle is written eau de toilette 75ml. The Price This is one of the cheapest perfumes I have seen around. For a 75...

Thomas and the Jet Engine

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...This isn?t one of the original Thomas stories by the Rev. W. Awdry, but is based on the characters which he created. ?Thomas and the Jet Engine? is a very sturdy hardbook book which measures 15.8 x 15.4 x 1.6 cm. The cover is bright blue with a picture of Gordon looking disapprovingly down at Thomas on the front. Each page of the book has a small amount of writing and a bright colour picture taken from the television series. The pictures really seem to keep children interested in the story. ?Thomas and the Jet Engine? tells the story of when Thomas, everyone?s favourite little blue tank engine, wishes that he could go as fast as Gordon, the fastest engine on Sodor, just once. Thomas? wish comes true one day when the Fat Controller asks him to collect a jet engine from Brendam Docks. The jet engine is attached to Thomas and is...

Review of Thomas and the Jet Engine - Egmont Books

Diesel the most friendly grizzly teddy bear

Advantages: Great quality and attention to detail usually only found in very expensive teddy bear brands
Disadvantages: Not suitable for children under three, but really a bear for grown ups!

...Diesel has got to be the most popular Charlie Bear right now and it's easy to see why. No one can resist his soft fur - it's white on the ends and brown at the base so when you stroke him you can see the different colours. He's got the look of a real grizzly bear, not-so-much a cartooney teddy bear, and has really expressive eyes that seem to look right at you! I don't think that Diesel is a bear for children - he's not suitable for under-threes and is a little too big for a child to hold comfortably. Diesel is still my favourite Charlie Bear even though there are so many to choose from. They've all got their own personalities and are so nicely made, especially considering the price. Everyone I have introduced Diesel to falls in love with him and I've given several Charlie Bears as presents, which are always popular!...

Review of Charlie Bears Diesel

Tomy Thomas the Tank Engine, it's a true friend of kids

Advantages: A great toy in your child's collection.
Disadvantages: None in my opinion .

...Thomas the engine and it's friends are all very popular toy trains. My 22 month old son grew interested in these after watching their shows. He wouldn't ask for anything besides these trains. He also remembers all their names very well, Thomas being the foremost of them all. I have collected a whole series of Thomas engines and Tomy is one of those. It's a dark blue coloured engine with round eyes that attract the children. It's bottom is red and it has a steam outlet right on it's top. It works well with a set of tracks that are sold separately. It's size is also very appropriate. I think my son wouldn't part with it. He simply loves it and expresses that this is his best friend. Mine came in for 12 pounds. It's a very good bargain for this great toy. It's a one in itself toy that can keep your child busy for hours...

Review of Tomy Thomas the Tank Engine

Edward the Very Useful Engine

Advantages: Great for Thomas and Train Fans
Disadvantages: None

...Edward the very useful engine is a book based on the Thomas TV series. The front cover of the book has a picture of Edward and Thomas and there is a purple banner above the picture with the title of the book in yellow lettering. The back cover of the book is also purple and has a yellow square with smaller pictures of a few other titles available in the collection. This edition is in hard back. THE STORY The book starts by telling us a bit about some of the engines on the Island of Sodor. Gordon was good at pulling the Express, Percy was good at carrying the mail and Edward was good at being a back engine. It tells us that when the engines were heavy Edward would couple up behind and help them push. Edward is an old engine and some of the other engines thought he was unreliable. Gordon and Percy thought that he should...

Review of Edward, the Very Useful Engine - W. Awdry

Diesel feminine!

Advantages: Great smell, Great price!
Disadvantages: not any that i can think of!

...Diesel zero plus feminine I got a sample of this perfume through the post a while back and it smelled nice. I didn't really have a particular perfume I liked wearing at the time and it was near my birthday so I asked my mum to buy me some as a present. This perfume has now turned into my favorite perfume and I wear it every day. Appearance: The bottle for the perfume is a deep red and looks good. It is rounded and has the writing written down the side of it. I was immediately attracted to the shape and colour of the bottle, though as many say appearance isn't everything. The Fragrance: According to Diesel, it contains: coconut milk, strawberry, vanilla, cherry, red apple, cassis, cassia oil, plum, muguet, maroccan rose, pitosforum (a leafy plant), bitter orange, black pepper, nutmeg, magnolia leaves, pineapple, orchid, orris...
