Pieces

Advantages: Alright slasher
Disadvantages: It's been done before. Lynda Day

...It's 1942 a young boy is playing peacefully I his bedroom. However, somehow it's a jigsaw of a naked woman he has and his mother is annoyed at discovering this and finding heaps of pornography hidden all over his bedroom. She demands that he goes and gets her the matches so she can burn it all but the weird child being a true blue porn fan instead gets an axe and brutally, albeit very unrealistically, kills his mother. He is then found in the blood covered room after cutting her into several pieces. Many years later and we have a random scene of a woman skating about on some University grounds before she crashes into two men carrying a mirror across a road. That scene seems pointless and is forgotten. But then another young woman is sitting on the lawn reading her book when she is disturbed by a man with a chainsaw cutting...

Review of Pieces (DVD)

Pieces of a jigsaw

Advantages: Great entertainment, hilarious!
Disadvantages: Not sure it's supposed to be funny!

...In the early nineteen forties, a young boy resents his mother's intrusion into his bedroom and takes an axe to her, pretending afterwards that he was an innocent bystander. Some forty years later, young girls on a college campus begin to be picked off by an electric saw-wielding madman. It seems that the killer must be someone on the campus, perhaps a teacher, and the police officers in charge of the case, along with a fast-thinking student, do their best to keep on the killer's tail. Yet the murders continue, each one gorier than the last. Will they ever catch the murderer? And what is the link with the young boy? For some strange reason, there is a following for horror films that are so bad that they are good - I, for one, am a fan. Pieces, or Mil Gritos Tiene La Noce (One Thousand Cries Has the Night) as it was originally called...

Earex ear drops

Advantages: A big help for hardened wax
Disadvantages: none

...Earache and toothache have to be two of the most uncomfortable conditions that anyone can suffer. The nagging pain of earache is very hard to relieve. Often as we get a bit older ear wax becomes a problem. The wax is produced in small glands situated inside of the ear canal, the glands produce a thin film of wax to keep our ears clean and help fight against any infection. If too much earwax builds up then that`s when the problem starts, my husband has suffered from hardened wax building up in his ears for a while now, it seems to be a problem that has worsened with age. If the wax builds up too much then his ear canals get really painful and the build up also starts to affect his balance and then he has to have them syringed by the Practise nurse at the local Doctors surgery. When you start to feel that your ears may be waxy...

Hopi Ear Candles

Advantages: *
Disadvantages: *

... ~ Introduction ~ In the months leading up to my driving test and my January A-Level exams I started having frequent migraines. I used to get them less than once a year but I was now getting them every week. So willing to try anything that might prevent a migraine attack I started having Indian Head Massage (IHM). I've been having them for over a year now and they do really seem to help. When I went last month I told the therapist that I have been having lots more headaches (I'm quite stressed) and I'm starting to get mild migraines (not half as bad as they were before I started getting IHM). She did the IHM as usual but suggested that I book a Hopi Ear Candle instead of the IHM. I agreed, so on Wednesday I went for the appointment. ~ What are Hopi Ear Candles? ~ The candles used at the place I went to are made by...

'Ear This Wax Lyrical!

Advantages: Goes some way to relieving excess ear wax. Lats a long time
Disadvantages: Difficult to count the drops. Not a miracle cure for lots of excess ear wax.

...■■■ Price and Availability ■■■ My GP advised me to buy these ear drops and given that a prescription is currently £6.85, she suggested that I buy it over the counter at the cheaper price of £4.79 at Boots. The ear drops can be found in most chemists and supermarkets with a pharmacy: Superdrug Lloyds Pharmacy Morrisons Asda Tesco ■■■ Packaging ■■■ This comes in a cylindrical box with a bit of additional card with the 'bumph' at the side of it. (Hopefully the photo will demonstrate this more clearly). Inside the box is a small, 8ml little tube. The tube has a sealed cap that is easily 'broken' by twisting the screw top cap, a good idea as it shows that the product has not been used or tampered with. Once the cap is taken off there is a small...

Review of Otex Ear Drops

Ear, have a look at this!

Advantages: cute
Disadvantages: retired

...Over the years I have had many a collection. One which I adored was my TY Beanie collection! My friends and I all collected the soft and cuddly beanie teddies, so we were able to tell one another of our stories and most recent purchases, which was great fun. Between us we had most, if not all of the beanies out then, and I still have a few too. One of the beanies is a rabbit, who goes by the name of Ears. He is a cute little bunny, lying softly on his stomach. He is a very attractive colour too - a rich chocolate brown shade, with the insides of his ears and a patch on his nose being white. He also has a little fluffy white cotton tail. His little pink whiskers and beady eyes add to his cuteness - he is definitely one of the best TY rabbits as far as appearance is concerned. To the touch, Ears is very soft with his fine fur. If you...

Review of TY Ears the Bunny

PARDON? I have something in my ear!

Advantages: Eases discomfort, gently breaks through wax build up.
Disadvantages: Feels funny during application

...As a child I was always prone to earaches so it was no surprise after a recent cough and cold that I was struck down with discomfort in my right ear. I noticed it when it was quite mild and wanted to stop it getting any worse and preventing a trip to the doctors. Hoping it was just down to waxy build up and not a more severe ear infection I decided to try out the Earex ear drops that we'd bought for our son earlier in the year. Earex ear drops are a gentle and natural remedy made up of 3 different types of oil- Almond oil, Arachis (peanut) oil and Rectified Camphor oil. The 10ml brown glass bottle has a screw cap featuring a dropper to apply the off yellow drops and comes in a bright yellow and blue outer card box. The combination of oils is designed to gently break through built up wax and clear it easing discomfort in the ear...

Review of Earex Ear Drops

Cerumol Ear Drops. Effective and easy to use.

Advantages: No horrid side effects, easy to use
Disadvantages: May not shift stubborn wax

...Review of Cerumol Ear Drops Why I Bought it Both my daughter and my partner have hearing loss, for different reasons, but they both suffer with the discomfort of hardened, excessive ear wax. The condition is uncomfortable for them as the presence of the wax can have the effect of lessening what hearing they do have. Unfortunately, a side effect of my partner's hearing aid is that it causes a build up of ear wax. Cerumol was recommended to me by my daughter's Doctor when she was little and I have since purchased it for my partner. The Product **Packaging** Cerumol Ear Drops are designed to aid the loosening and removal of ear wax. The product is for external use only and is a safer alternative to using cotton buds to dislodge excessive ear wax. The product is presented in a white and cerise pink cardboard box...

Review of Cerumol Ear Drops

Bits and Pieces

Advantages: Some very decent music
Disadvantages: For the fans, the new songs are a bit of a let down

...strength of character too. It is this combination that has enabled her to release a greatest hits album "Pieces of a Dream" after only five years as a major label singer, yet still manage to pack it with hits. The album opens with the debut single, "I'm Outta Love", a song which grabbed me from the first and made me an Anastacia fan to start with. In five years, nothing has changed and I still love this song. It's a high tempo pop song, with soul undertones and a beat that has you dancing and unable to help yourself. At the time this was released, there was really no-one who combined soul and heavy pop the way Anastacia did and there are very few singers today who have the strength in their vocal to pull it off even now. The second track is also from her debut album. This time it is the title track from 2000's "Not That Kind". This...

Review of Pieces Of A Dream - Anastacia

Hopi Ear Candling

Advantages: It Works, Wax Free
Disadvantages: Can be expensive

...I found this whole procedure a little shall we say "odd" and perhaps "unbelievable". However I decided that as a friend was now qualified in the practice I would pay for the service. I am a sceptic when it comes to things like this and could not understand how burning a candle held into my ear hole would remove the wax and leave me feeling better. Described as "Quite different from conventional wax candles, a Hopi ear candle is actually a cotton tube, impregnated with beeswax, honey and therapeutic oils, that is painlessly inserted into the ear to draw out impurities, relieve pressure in the head and sinuses, and aid hearing problems." I was advised before the treatment started that I may not visibly see any wax in the candle when it was unravelled but that the treatment would have dislodged earwax even if it hadn't removed...
