Let's Kill some Floor!

Advantages: An awsome game...
Disadvantages: So few...

...I have never been that serious a gamer. Only casually playing things like Age of Empires, Grand Theft Auto on the computer, and a few games on the Nintendo Wii. My friend, Jam, however, has always been rather heavily into his games, and always had a good number installed on his custom built PC. It wasn?t until I played this one game on his computer, that I got hooked. Killing Floor. It was an instant hit with me, and after a while, he brought me a copy (so he could play it against someone he knew). The Basics of the Game Killing Floor is an online, co-op horror survival, first person shooter game, which means that you control the character that is shooting ? typically viewing the two arms of the character. The aim of the game, is to kill specimens, which are different types of ?zombie?. ?set in the devastated cities...

Review of Killing Floor (PC)

Wizzing across the floors

Advantages: Does as it says
Disadvantages: Not disinfecting

...Wizz floor cleaner We have lots of wooden floors in our house and although they are not laminate, i tend to try use this stuff or similar because bleach is too harsh and I like a nice fresh rather than bleach smell. WHAT IS IT? This product has apparently been specially formulated to effectively clean most types of sealed wood flooring ( so not just for laminate) and it promises to remove grease and grime with no need for rinsing afterwards. PRODUCT AND PACKAGING... The floor cleaner comes in a plastic bottle containing 1litre of the product. It?s quite handy because there is a handle on the side which makes carrying it around easier, although a down side of the packaging is the fact that the screw on/off top isn?t child proof, and can easily be opened. The product itself is a light brown colour which is quite...

Review of Wizz Laminate Wood Floor Cleaner

Floored

Advantages: easy to wipe clean, better for asthmatic children and more hygienic than carpet
Disadvantages: shows dirt quicker than carpet and can be noisier

...My friend has recently installed a new laminate floor. He did all the work himself, it only took him two days and was a third of the cost of a carpet. I thought of many reasons for him not to do it:- 1. The room would seem colder 2. It would scratch easily as they have 3 kids and a dog 3. It would start to lift if anything was spilled 4. It would not be comfortable to sit on. 5. It would be noisy 6. It would be harder to keep looking clean 7. There would be a lot of work involved Four weeks later I take it all back. The room doesn't feel colder at all, in fact the rich colour of the wood makes it look warmer. One of his sons is always rolling around on the floor with cars but they don't scratch the surface and neither does the dog. The surface is tougher than I expected. Any spills are easily wiped up...

Review of B&Q Flooring

laminate flooring

Advantages: looks fine
Disadvantages: a bit tricky

...the locking system but with a little fiddling we got it right. It took us nearly a day to fit it. Well it looks good .Hey it feels good to have done it our-selves. Not too difficult not super easy though. I spilt some soil on it from a plant easy to wipe clean with a damp cloth. I was very impressed. We intend having a kitchen extension next year planning applications have just gone in and I think I might use this type of floor covering different colour for the kitchen floor and lay it myself. Thanks for reading I would certainly recommend this floor covering....

Review of B&Q Flooring

Detox the Floor

Advantages: Extra protection to the cleaning chores
Disadvantages: Careful storage needed

...Thank heavens for laminate floors. Cleaning is just so much quicker and easier. But have you noticed the trail of dirty footmarks and odd dirty patches which stubbornly resist the sweeper or vacuum cleaner??? Whilst not suggesting you might wish to do this, there is a product which is multi-action to clean the floor, so that you could aspire to eating your food there-off!! 'Dettol' the household watchword for stinky clean, now make handy anti-bactericidal extra strong floor wipes in a re-sealable pack, lightly fragranced??yes, not stinky! Each pack contains 15 rectangular wet wipes , 22*30 cm in size.

Review of Dettol Anti Bacterial Floor wipes

plans are rarely simple

Advantages: cinematography, billy bob thornton
Disadvantages: slow, some unbelievable moments

...are both out of work see this as retirement and want to keep the money. "You work for the American Dream, you don't steal it." Exclaims Hank, although he is soon going back on that when he comes up with a plan. The plan is simple (hence the name of the film). He will keep the money till the Spring when they are sure that the plane will be found, if (when it is) there is no mention of the money, then they will distribute it three ways and leave town never to return. The three are sworn to secrecy not to reveal the money or the plan to anyone, Although hypocritical Hanks is soon telling his Pregnant wife Sarah (Bridget Fonda) and its not long before she is adding extras to the plan which Hank needs to carry out, The result is that this breeds further arguments and mistrust, which escalates and snowballs out of control, this ultimately...

Review of A Simple Plan (DVD)

Plan on Sleeping Through It

Advantages: Some nice warmth from Dwayne Johnson.
Disadvantages: Pedestrian direction, under-developed characters and predictable narrative.

...the film. If it isn't brassy themes for the first American football game, it's blowsy nu-jazz for Joe's party, sad strings and woodwinds for his moments of loneliness, horror squeals when Peyton reveals her identity or Bond-style electric guitar for Joe's flash car. There are a couple of attempts at humour including one scene where B-movie thriller themes accompany an overflowing bubble bath. The other soundtrack choices sound like a grab bag of current soundtrack favourites such as "Rubbernecking", "Mr Blue Sky" and the perplexing end credits sing- and dance-along to "Hunka Hunka Burning Love". But the whole thing feels too scattershot. "The Game Plan" is an extremely formulaic family movie that may appeal to under-tens, but will have grown-ups snoring their heads off. The direction is pedestrian, the writing predictable and the performances...

Review of The Game Plan (DVD)

Plan on buying this!

Advantages: Great stories, great characters, good value
Disadvantages: None

...Although we have somewhat moved onto pastures new (Noddy and Peppa Pig) when it comes to Harry's television viewing, Bob the Builder still remains a good faithful to plonk on for him when I desperately need to get on with the dinner and Harry's trying to "help" me. We have a small collection of Bob DVD'S courtesy of Harry's Nanny, and this is one he does like to watch pretty regularly, and I must say it is a fun watch, even for me who has seen it god knows how many times! Bob the Builder is a hit children's television show currently being shown on Nick Jnr and Nick Jnr 2 throughout the day. The show is also widely available on DVD, from all of the televised series, as well as specials which were created specially for DVD such as this one, Bob's Big Plan. Bob lives and works in Sunflower Valley with fellow builder Wendy and their crew...

Review of Bob The Builder - Bob's Big Plan Special (DVD)

When all else fails - there's always Plan B!

Advantages: absorbing read
Disadvantages: none

...I have read most of Emily Barr's novels and each one is fresh and enjoyable and you think they can't get any better. However, having just read Plan B, they do get better and I was totally absorbed in this story from the moment I picked the book up! Emily Barr is such a good storyteller and she hooks you from the very start so that you don't want to stop reading. I found myself snatching odd moments in the day to pick this book up, and now that I've finished it I'm almost disappointed as I didn't want to stop reading. The main character in the book is Emma and over half of the story is told from her point of view and is written in the first person. At the beginning when we first meet Emma she is reluctantly moving to France to start a new life with her partner Matt and their two year old daughter Alice. They have bought a ramshackle...

Review of Plan B - Emily Barr

Flight Plan - Everyone thinks she's crazy.

Advantages: A good thriller, with an interesting story line.
Disadvantages: Perhaps not enough tension for some.

...This is a movie that I bought for £3 from Asda. It took me a long time to get around to viewing it, but when I did, I was pleasantly surprised. Flight Plan is a thriller directed by Robert Schwentke and starring Jodie Foster, Peter Sarsgaard, Erika Christensen, and Sean Bean. It was released by Touchstone Pictures in 2005, and is based on the classic film The Lady Vanishes, which was released 67 years earlier. I am a bit of a wimp these days when it comes to watching films. Anything over a 12 rating and I have to sit near the door. If there is any hint of violence I am usually known to go and make a cup of tea! Don?t get me wrong, I like a good action movie, I just find it hard to cope with the tension and violence. So was this movie too much for me? Did I have to spend the duration drinking earl grey or even worse a fruit tea...
