Easy and cheap cut at home

Advantages: even easy cut, good value for money
Disadvantages: none to report yet

...I got this for my partner because, quite frankly, I was sick of him stealing the scissors and my razors at home! This clipper is a good product and I would always reccomend something from the babyliss range - call me a sucker for brands but I have never had a problem with the make when buying products before. The overall appearance isn't the typical appearance to clippers, at least not ones I've seen before but just like it says on the tin my partner found them easy to use and hold. Straight from the box the clippers use "Unique circular blade technology for multi directional cutting" which seem to make a massive differents than a pair of scissors giving the cut a nice and even appearance. The product is rechargable and comes with the mains equipment for corded use or uncorded, whichever you prefer! The results look very...

Pass the Bomb!

Advantages: great game, really gets you thinking
Disadvantages: you can be made to look v.stupid!

...I don't know about you lot, but it seems to me that every time we have family over for Christmas or New Year, after dinner we end up playing some sort of board game! This is ok to start with, but does tend to get rather dull after a while. On boxing day of the Christmas just gone, yes you've guessed it - we ended up playing a board game. A member of the family brought it round and it was called Pass the Bomb! Sounds ominous I know (don't worry its not a real bomb!). Well, it was great fun and very different to the usual type of games which go on for hours and people lose interest. The game starts by drawing a card from the pack which is shown to all players. Each card has letters on it and can be two or more letters. A dice is then rolled which tells all players whether the letters shown by the card must be at the start, middle or end...

The Simpsons: Backstage Pass review

Advantages: Amazing writing, hilarious
Disadvantages: None

...The Simpsons: Backstage Pass is a collection of four episodes featuring some of the best bands of the past and the present. The four episodes are "Homerpalooza", "A Tale of Two Springfields", "The Otto Show" and "Homer's Barbershop Quartet". "Homerpalooza" is one of my personal favourites and concerns Homer, who seems to be having a mid-life crisis, so he takes Bart and Lisa to the Hullabalooza festival where, through some bizarre coincidences that could only happen in The Simpsons, he gets to fulfill his rock star dreams by touring with the festival. The bands here are amazing, from classic rockers (Peter Frampton) to newer, indie rock (Sonic Youth, Smashing Pumpkins) and really shows the difference in musical tastes between then and when the show started, and also since Homer was a teenager as well. "A Tale of Two Springfields...

Pass me that Pass!!!

Advantages: Superb value, all Tussauds attractions included, great discounts, Now Unlimited Entry!!!
Disadvantages: Up-front expense

...As of the October 2007 the Tussauds Annual Pass(TAP) has been replaced by the Merlin Annual Pass. The Tussauds Group was bought out by the Merlin Entertainments Group - this group includes the Sea-Life Centres, the Dungeons and other parks such as LegoLand. The Tussauds Group has ceased to exist and along with it so has some of the advantages of the TAP. Due to some very poor Customer Service I will not be renewing my Annual Pass. Thank you to all the people that reviewed this little blog-like review!! "Why are you reviewing an entrance ticket??" You might ask, well quite simply it's the best value ticket around - and thats what this site is all about - isn't it? GREAT VALUE The Tussauds Group Annual Pass is essentially 52 entrance tickets all stored on one 'credit' card. Unless you can get it at a discount then it...

Review of Tussauds Group Annual Pass

To Roam aroun Rome by a Roma Pass!

Advantages: Queue jumping, don't have to worry about entrance fees
Disadvantages: Can not be cost effective

...The Roma Pass was something a work colleague mentioned to me, although she did not know the name just there was some card thing that gets you benefits. So I looked up things to do in Rome and eventually came across the website for the Roma Pass through a link from another website. The Roma Pass website is: http://www.romapass.it/?l=en The website gave me a great insight as to what the card was, there are 2 types of cards, so it explains what both offer and how much they cost. The standard (red) Roma Pass costs 23 Euros, and the Roma & Piu (blue) Pass costs 25 Euro's. The website goes on to have tabs for museums, events, a virtual tour, information, download and buy. I opted not to buy ours online, and decided I would get them when there. The website sells the cards with this strap line "The Cards that offers you...

Pass The Bomb - Careful It Might Go Off

Advantages: Improves Vocabulary, Family Torture At Christmas
Disadvantages: Sweet Mother Of God It's Annoying

...I was introduced to the game by The Blonde's parents at a large family gathering on Boxing Day this year. I used to like those people. Pass The Bomb - The Explosive Game That Will Blow Your Mind... No, No it won't. No really, it won't. The premise is incredibly simple. Start the timer (Conveniently shaped like a bomb; see what they did there!) and draw a card with a selection of letters on that must be contained, in that order, within the word you put forward. When the "Bomb Goes Off" the person left holding it is out. Also forbidden is repetition and making words up, they will also lead to you being out. Which apparently is a bad thing... So, the length of the game depends on 3 things. When will the timer go off? Can you actually remember the words you used to pick up on repetition and vocabulary knowledge (Although...

The Pass

Advantages: Nice deisgn
Disadvantages: Needs more content

...OK. You are bored, the kids are bored, even the goldfish looks a little jaded. So, what are you going to do about it? Feed the goldfish (that's his idea of a good time!) and as for you and the rest of your family? Visit www. the-pass.co.uk. The first thing you will notice about www. the-pass.co.uk, is not only is it an extremely interesting website to visit and use, it is also extremely easy to navigate, too. And to be fair to www. the-pass.co.uk, that's not always the case with other websites, is it? Some of them are designed by people who want to show off their skills or who are totally inept at good website design. Of course, some of the websites that I have visited have apparently been designed by people who, although totally inept, want to show off their "skills." Not so with www. the-pass.co.uk! This web site is user...

Breakheart pass

Advantages: Good Adaptation of a MacLean novel
Disadvantages: Film a bit grainy

...trouble with a supposed prisoner, Levi Calhoun, on the loose, and indians within its walls. As I previously said it keeps close to the book, although the ending is different in execution if not outcome. I would recommend this as a good film to be purchased at £5, and is a good enough watch, even if I personally still prefer the original book. The only downside from the DVD is the limited nature of Extras, not surprising for a 1975 film, and there is only the Original Theatrical trailer, as an added bonus. Also in some of the scenes the film does look slightly grainy but can be ignored especially with some of the scenery that is filmed as the trains pass through some snowy mountains....

Pass the Parcel for adrenalin junkies...

Advantages: crazy party fun
Disadvantages: mine broke after about a month

...Pass the Bomb - a game that's easy to pick up, takes no time at all to explain, and can be played even by slow-witted relatives after you've grown sick of telling them for the billionth time that they can't build a house on Mayfair until they've bought Park Lane as well. In short, a snappy and light-hearted game perfect to liven things up after a particulary cerebral Scrabble or Risk session. Basically, it goes like this: you have a plastic bomb and a pack of cards. The cards have three letters on them, for example: RGN (just in case your imagination can't conjure up the idea of three letters). You then have to press a button on the bomb, which starts ticking. You must name a word the contains the three letters in order (say, Resign) and then chuck the bomb to the next person. They must do the same, and so on, until at some random...

Review of Pass The Bomb

  Passing your driving test!

Advantages: Freedom! The end of all those lessons, where to go now..!?
Disadvantages: Very expensive, nerve wracking, and frustrating!

...minors and this is quite a good margin. If for example you touch the kerb in your reversing round the corner, brake lightly, it?s easy to hide it! Or if you feel your parallel park going wrong, you can move forward and back as many times as you want (within reason) until you are happy with it ? it?s now how you get there that really matters, as long as you do get there, and safely. Turn off your mobile ? you don?t want constant ringing to occur as your trying to overtake the lorry to prove you can drive at 70 on a carriageway! Don?t give up ? just because people pass first time doesn?t make them a better driver. It comes down to so many things on the day, including a bit of luck, and probably a bit of how the examiner is feeling as well. Keep on going, you will get there in the end, just keep practising and it will happen...
