DRAUGHT EXCLUDER

Advantages: Keeps you nice and cosy
Disadvantages: Takes a long time to stuff

...If you have never sewn before but want to try something really simple then this draught excluder is an ideal starter. You will not need much material and you will end up with a practical accessory to make your home cosy and keep draughts at bay in a colourful way by making a draught excluder. If you make cushions in a matching fabric you can achieve a co-ordinating look. YOU WILL NEED 25cm x 122cm of furnishing fabric Scissors Pins Thread Needle Stuffing 1.6m wide ribbon INSTRUCTIONS Measure the width of your door; upstairs doors are usually narrower than those downstairs. Allow an extra 18cm width for the seam allowances and cut out the fabric to the required size. Turn in and pin 9cm at each end and machine sew two rows of a long (gathering) stitch, stopping just short of the seam allowance. Pull the threads...

The Draught Excluder Is Chasing Me

Advantages: Epic, Immersive, Brilliant, Rock Opera at its finest
Disadvantages: None

...This is an enthralling piece of music of epic proportions, and as such, requires a review of epic proportions to do it justice. Unfortunately, this review is probably not as enthralling, but if you have the stamina then read on ? I was sat in our living room, listening to this album on the headphones. Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I spotted a flailing alien tentacle, ready to drag me into that terrible green dome and devour my flesh as surely as the chair I was sitting in. Luckily, it was just the draft- excluder, but when you're nine years old listening to a record about martians invading earth and eating humans in the hoods of their monstrous fighting machines, then it can have a profound effect on you. I am of course talking about the Jeff Wayne Musical Version of The War of the Worlds. As a youngster, I can...

A Pint at the Bank!

Advantages: Cheap Prices
Disadvantages: Bit Dull and Drab

...Situated at 1-3 Market Place right in the centre of Sheffield lies the Banker's Draft. For many years this place has always had a bit of a reputation as a dull, drab smoky place where the market crowds and down and outs hung out. However at the back end of last year JD Wetherspoons who own this place decided to give it a bit of a facelift and suddenly the Banker's Draft re-invented itself as one of their more prestige Lloyds No.1 Bars. The History It is little surprise as its name suggests that this place spent most of its life as a bank. Occupying a prime location in the city centre it is now ideally situated next to the main bus stops and tram stops and only a short walk from the main bus interchange. The building itself is quite impressive, from the outside at least. A large mid-Victorian building occupying a prime corner...

Review of Bankers Draft (Sheffield)

It's Miller Time...unfortunately

Advantages: It's wet
Disadvantages: How long have you got?

...There's a wonderful, wonderland of different, exotic beers out there. Beers to suit all occasions, beers to suit all tastes. Sometimes I like to indulge in a beer that is rich, dark and complex. At other times a simple, thirst quenching combination of hops and malt is all that is needed to hit the spot. I'm not demanding, all that I require is a basic semblance of beeriness. Is that too much to ask? MILLER is the second largest brewer in the USA and has over 20% of that market. It was founded in 1855 in Milwaukee, by a German immigrant who, by an amazing coincidence, was called Frederick Miller. The company was taken over in 1970 by Philip Morris, the tobacco company (no ethical issues there, then). http:www.millerbrewing.com MILLER GENUINE DRAFT was launched in 1986 using a 'special' cold-filtering process which means that...

Review of Miller Genuine Draft Lager

Miller

Advantages: Taste, Goes down easily, Cheap (6 for £5)
Disadvantages: Not the best (though freaking great)

...the liquid makes a head inside te bottle neck, just like any draught/draft beer should, so theres a kudos for millers to begin. For those wondering why this review seems weird, I've just finished off a bottle of wine before hand. Right onto the beer then, smelling the top of the bottle doesn't give anything but a nice feeling that makes you want it more and more, a bit like sex with your neighbours wife, who you shouldn't like but do. The orange/bown colour just sreams "drink me, you alccy" and I think for once I'll listen and will drink the thing (again Im "drink reviewing", it's legal even if a bad idea). The first thing you notice when the liquid hits your mouth is just how fresh and chilled it feels. It kinda feels like an orgasm in your mouth, with a taste to match. This isn't just a great beer, but it's a beer that sticks two...

OCH AYE the NOODLE

Advantages: Cold and wet
Disadvantages: Boring and laden with cheap adjuncts

...the beer..... SAPPORO DRAFT is a bright and clear, deep golden colour when poured, with a very active carbonation which forms a pure-white, foamy head which lasts quite a while - considering the style of beer, and leaves a moderate amount of lacing. The aroma has a somewhat husky, grainy tone to it with mild leafy hops and a faint metallic edge. There's a little floral note in there too, but all these aromas are very subdued. It has a smooth taste and a relatively creamy mouthfeel - although the carbonation is a bit fierce. There's a light malt character with a touch of grain at the back but probably the most noticeable flavour, at least at first, is of sour apples - almost cider-like. The hops are quite subtle and have a vague lime/lemon tanginess with some floral notes. After the faintest of yeasty/bready flavours, the beer...

Review of Sapporo Draft Beer

Good for faxes and draft printing

Advantages: Reliable and cheap ink
Disadvantages: A bit large, no phone adapter, quite noisy

...driver and the first print is also very quick, there is rarely that gap where the printer does a five minute warm up before doing anything. The machine itself feels quite robust and the buttons feel well built. You never feel like pressing a button will have your finger enter the internals of the printer. Changing cartridges is a doddle, no printer driver needed - open the printer and the cartridges and printhead move straight into view with easy access. The print quality is a little bit lacking, I get problems with blank lines through the text/printout (very thin lines), I get problems with colours not always printing as expected. As a draft printer or a bulk printer and fax machine, this is a fairly good product. Be warned though. If you connect a standard (non-powered) telephone through this fax machine, it won't ring. Canon...

Review of Canon MPC600F

I'm a BABE...

Advantages: refreshing, light, sweet
Disadvantages: not very malty or hoppy

...... which stands for BOTTLED AMERICAN BEER ENTHUSIAST, if you were wondering. I do like my American lagers. Budweiser, Rolling Rock, Michelob, I love 'em. They have a subtlety and lack of sourness that you just don't find in other, especially German, beers. One of my absolute favourites is Miller Genuine Draft, and it was the first item I wrote on my Christmas food shopping list. The Miller brewery was founded in 1855 in Milwaukee (where The Fonz comes from), and it's one of the largest brewers in the US. Miller Genuine Draft is made by a cold-filtering process, which means nothing to me but might to some. Frankly I don't care how it's made - it tastes damn good to me and that's what counts. You can get Miller Genuine Draft from most supermarkets and booze stores, and it comes in a clear bottle with a black/gold label...

Review of Miller Genuine Draft Lager

Its What Fridges Were Invented For

Advantages: An excellent all rounder.
Disadvantages: Murder on the fridge.

...?What?s in the Fridge?? said a perturbed Wife. ?Its beer.? replied Clanmac4. ?I know silly, but what about the Groceries, where are they to go?? asked an increasingly irritated wife. ?What about the groceries?? responded an increasingly tipsy Clanmac4. ?If beer be the food of life, bugger the rest ?continued a drunken Clanmac4, ?Anyway we can order Pizza!? I can squeeze into our fridge, 99 bottles of Miller Gold, also known as Miller Genuine Draft. I can get 24 bottles into the top shelf, the same again on the second and third shelf. I can fit 6 each in both vegetable/salad compartments and force another 10 in the Milk compartment, one in the Cheese tray, 2 in the butter tray. If I am really clever I can get a further 2 in the egg tray. Since moving to an Area where there are no pubs, I have had to take a major...
