Button it!

Advantages: Enjoyable
Disadvantages: About 45 minutes too long

...The film begins in a hospital with Caroline and her mother, her mother is dying with only a few hours to live. She suddenly tells Caroline the tale of Mr Gateux (or Mr Cake) and his train station clock, the clock runs backward, and this prompts Caroline's mother to ask Caroline to read from a diary she has in her suitcase. The diary has been written by a man Caroline doesn't know, and is the story of his life, it was written by Benjamin Button. Benjamin was born on the night that World War I ended; whilst everyone else is celebrating Benjamin's father is rushing home to his wife. He gets home to find the priest has already been called and the doctor informs him that she will die shortly. He rushes to his wife's side, and with her last few breathes she asks him to make sure 'there will always be a place for him', her husband agrees...

Eco refill my coffee cup!!!!

Advantages: Great new product which is good for the enviroment AND your pocket!!
Disadvantages: Only come in 150g bags, so not good for large offices.

... Kenco Eco Refill Introduction When I buy instant coffee, it comes out of the glass jar and straight into my coffee jar in the kitchen, the glass jar then goes directly into the recycle bin, to me this always seems like such a waste, and although it is always recycled, it seems silly to have to pay for the packaging of a glass jar and then for it to go straight into the rubbish. Of course, many people do keep their coffee in the jar it came in, but, these still end up in the rubbish or recycling when they buy another jar. So when I saw this new product from Kenco, I thought it was a wonderful idea. The Kenco Eco Refill is your normal Kenco coffee, but instead of coming in the jar, it comes in a foil re-sealable bag which is, according to the packet, 97% less packaging weight than the glass jars, also the bag is...

ECO-Kettle

Advantages: saves time, energy and pennies
Disadvantages: takes a little bit of getting used to

...The Eco Kettle is designed for you to be able to more accurately put in just the right amount of water that you want boiled - therefore saving energy for the planet and saving you money in electricity costs. How does it work: the kettle has 2 chambers; one acts as a reservoir (this is the one you fill) and then by pushing and holding down a button on the lid of the kettle you transfer the required amount of water to the boiling chamber. Both chambers have 'windows' marked with cup levels, so you can see the volume in each. OK, so that sounds a bit faffy but seriously ITS EASY its just hard to explain! If you buy one then definitely read the instruction booklet and all will be come clear. And practice makes perfect - I found it did take a few goes to perfect the technique. What's Great: I love that I'm being eco and env friendly...

Button your lips.

Advantages: Delicious cadburys chocolate.
Disadvantages: Health-factor.

...Have you ever seen that advert with the cheese on toast? Somebody see's somebody eating it, so they go and have some, then somebody see's them with it, and someone else goes and has it, and so on. Well I was in a similar situation a couple of weeks back. I was at the shops, -minding my own business-, when I saw a youth sitting on a bench, tucking into a pack of cadburys buttons. There and then, I knew I must have a bag, and so I set off to find some. Somewhere on my travels however I got distracted, and I ended up NOT buying any, and totoally forgetting about them. A couple of days later my Grandma invited me up to her house to help my little cousins bake for my aunties birthday the following day. I love to bake, and so there was no doubting i'd be up there helping. We made various types of cakes, including some plain sponge cakes...

Button in the Pitts?

Advantages: Its over
Disadvantages: Hyped up Oscar bore

...Starring - Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett Genre - Oscar chasing romantic biopic Awards - 3 technical Oscars Running time 166 minutes ----------------------------------------------- Benjamin Button: "Your life is defined by its opportunities... even the ones you miss". ----------------------------------------------- The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is the worse case scenario for the professional film critic, which isn't me, of course. Its not that it's particularly bad or anything but what it represents. It's strategically released around the awards season in February so the movie press can go along to the freebie junkets and parties and pick up their gift packs so encouraged to go away and write nice stuff about it, and with the studios full PR machine behind the film low-and-behold it gets loads of nominations...

Delighted With The Citizen Eco-Drive Calibre Watch

Advantages: fast delivery, first class customer service
Disadvantages: none to be honest

...i've recently ordered the Citizen Eco-Drive Watch for my father online and found both the product and the company i ordered from to be top class. The delivery was next day, and it was free too (which makes a nice change) and the old man really liked his present too, so all in all, a good experience. I have to recommend the company i purchased from, as i found them very helpful when i called them to find out more information about delivery, and returns policy, so thank you Mores Jewellers The watch it's self i've been told is very comfortable and feels natural when wearing, it's heavy enough due to the quality, but light enough to not get in the way. The gold remains to be as shiny today as it was when i brought the item (over 3 months ago) and the face isn't scratched, even though the watch is worn every day and not just...

Review of Citizen Eco-Drive Watch

Citizen Skyhawk A-T Eco-drive watch

Advantages: Atomic time-keeping, solar powered, 200m WR
Disadvantages: Not the lightest of watches

...Citizen Skyhawk A-T Eco-drive watch, model no JY0000-53E. At the time of writing, this watch is the top of the Skyhawk model range, Citizen's take on aviation themed watches. In addition to the usual Skyhawk features, the A-T model synchronises with the atomic clock signal. As well as being able to receive the European signal, it can also be trained to the USA and Japan time signals by setting the relevant time zone - an advantage over some of the cheaper atomic watches offered by other manufacturers. The watch is a chunky design with a stainless steel bracelet and base contrasting the black face and rotating slide rule bezel. The hands are metallic with luminous inserts, and all the hour markers also contain the luminous inserts. The watch weighs in at 178g (on our digital kitchen scales) and the glass is 34mm diameter...

On the button

Advantages: Great Talent
Disadvantages: Needs to grow up

...If someone had said to you, “Did you hear about the young guy from Somerset who got given a ride for the season at one of the biggest Formula One teams?” you might be forgiven for thinking that some punch-line involving farming/new-fangled technology might arrive, however in the case of Jenson Button it really did happen. Admittedly the story is not quite that simple, since Jenson wasn’t hoiked off the dodgems by a passing Sir Frank Williams, to come and join the F1 circus. So what did propel Jenson Button into the shop window to be snapped up by Williams? He had followed the tried and tested route than others such as Senna had taken, i.e. he came to the sport having started out in karting, before moving to the British Formula Ford series in 1998. During 98 he won the Formula Ford Championship, the Formula Ford...

Review of Jenson Button

Having fun with buttons

Advantages: Good for those threading skills
Disadvantages: None

...Galt toys have made these fun buttons for many years. I have seen and played with them in several early years settings. Your children and maybe even you will have played with them. Galt fun buttons are brightly coloured red, yellow blue or green plastic buttons they come in a pack of 40 including a threading lace. A fun button is circular. These buttons I guesstimate to be about 3cm in diameter, I have none at home to measure. They are a couple of mm thick. The edges of the fun button are raised and crimped. There are some buttons with 1 hole in the centre, some with 2 some with 3, 4 or 5 holes. This makes the threading options more varied These buttons are a good size for a child to hold the holes are a good size too. These buttons are ideal for practicing learning threading skills. . The buttons can be threaded onto...

Review of Galt Fun Buttons

A Man Sized Button

Advantages: They are delicous !
Disadvantages: None

...Just tell me, what has Cadbury's chocolate got that other chocolate hasn't? I don't know the answer but more often than not I will always head for a bar of Cadbury's before I take any notice of the rest of the chocolate sitting on the shelf. Plus I wonder how many of us go to the supermarket checkouts with a couple of bags of chocolate buttons on board our trolley and delude ourselves, saying that we have bought them for either grandchildren or some little visitors. The whole idea of Cadbury's buttons couldn't be less complicated, just a small slim sweet and creamy milk chocolate disk, no larger than a ten pence piece and not even enough to fully satisfy an adult craving. But there is something that is incredibly magical about the product, maybe the secret lays within the simplicity of the idea, a button for adults who wish to...
