Folded Ears

Advantages: The best companion you could hope for
Disadvantages: The breeding

...This is a review about a breed of cat which I am pretty sure most people have never heard off. Even if you have heard of the breed I am fairly certain you might not have seen one either. How this breed came about ----------------------------------- Well in 1961 in Perthshire, Scotland a shepherd by the name of William Ross noticed the first Scottish Fold cat on record at a farm near Coupar Angus. The cat had ears which appeared to be identical to how an owl might look which were folded. He decided to try and create the breed himself. He then took the cat to be registered and they began this breeding program with 76 kittens being born over a four year period. Out of those 76 kittens 42 of them had folded ears and 34 didn't. The theory is that the reason they have folded ears is due to an incomplete dominant gene and is this is...

Fold Away's A Delight

Advantages: Folds up small for easy storage. Lightweight.
Disadvantages: Locking handle comes off. PUncture risk if not cared for properly.

...The Mothercare Fold Away Bath is a great space saving idea for people like me who have limited storage space or a smaller house. It is made of a durable white plastic rim, blue plastic fold down legs and an inflatable inner which is made from similar material to paddling pools. Setting up the bath is simple by unfolding the white rim almost like you're opening a card, as you open it fully it will click, locking the centre joins into place ensuring the bath doesn't fold in on itself, the 4 legs are pulled down and also click into locking points ensuring stability and making sure that the bath doesn't tip and spill the water, you can use the bath without inflating the inner section however if you choose to inflate it is much like blowing up rubber rings or beach balls, blowing air into the plastic valves and plugging them closed to keep...

Fold and Off we go

Advantages: folds and fits easily into a bag
Disadvantages: bit hard to sit on

...Last summer, when my then 2 year old was potty training, it came to my attention that she was a bit small for sitting on big toilets when we went out. I lost count of the number of times she fell down the loo! I had remembered seeing a folding seat in a magazine and found it in Blooming Marvellous, but after a few failed attempts to order it from the net, I ended up going to the Tesco website and getting it for £7.99 plus £3 packing. I recently saw the seat in John Lewis but didn't notice the price. The seat is called a toodle Loo seat! My package arrived 3 days later while I was on holiday and it appeared to have disappeared until my mother in law announced that she had a parcel for me! My A5 sized enveloped contained a plastic bag, sort of like what some toys come in now, with a handle which would make it easy to carry. I...

Smoby Junior Folding Slide

Advantages: Durable
Disadvantages: None

...This is a brilliant sized slide for a wee one, and it is durable too. My son got this slide for his second birthday, he is now 3 and still uses it, as well as my 5-year old niece! So it is durable and good-lasting. (I had thought my son would be bored of a small slide when I got him a bigger one this year, but he still uses it). It is bright colours so it is also a good visual for wee ones. When you buy it, it is still in the box so you have to assemble it yourself but it is fairly straightforward to assemble. Children should be supervised on the slide, although it is quite small so if they do fall they probably won't be too badly hurt. The slide folds so it is easy to take in and out, or easily stored away. The price of the slide is very reasonable too - about £18.99. The age range is from about 2-4, although...

ben folds five the unique album

Advantages: this album is like no other
Disadvantages: none

...Ben folds five are an american trio of bass drums and piano. The diversity of ben folds` piano combined with robert sledge`s distorted bass create a unique sound only recognizable as the sound of bf5. This sel-titled album is their first and best. 12 tracks full of spirit and energy. Presented as though they were in your living room, this c.d. is programmed to perfection. 1)Jackson Canary - The opening track will get you hooked from the start with it`s catch bass riffs and vocals.Ben folds shows the strength of the bass on the piano and also the effect of mixing it with the treble. A perfect opening number. 2)Philosophy - A contrasting opening with an almost irrestible piano melody. This song is a classic showing what they are capable of. From sweet piano to a heavy handed ending as ben does his rendition of `rhapsody in blue...

Review of Ben Folds Five - Ben Folds Five

The reasons to buy this are five fold

Advantages: original, uplifting
Disadvantages: an acquired taste

...I recently rediscovered this album, after about 8 years and have fallen in love with it all over again. If you are not acquainted with the lovely Ben Folds. then it is well worth a listen. if you are already a fan, and you havent got this album, then buy it now!! This album brings back happy memories of studying for my A levels, it is an original album with a quirky style, that you either love or hate. The songs on the album are clevery written with a strong piano base, with a sense of rythmn that's captured and reinforced within the music and not just the drums, you really 'feel' them. It's impossible not to take notice and get involved with each song. There are 12 songs on the album: Jackson Calvary, Philosophy, Julianne, Wheres Summer B?, Alice Childress, Underground, Sparts and Wine, Uncle Walter, Best Imitation of Myself...

Blood of the fold continues Goodkinds greatness

Advantages: Brilliant story line - great detail yet still not a hard read
Disadvantages: You wont want the adventure to stop - but it does

...Book three of the series and Blood of the Fold is just as exciting, absorbing, and readable as the first two. Goodkind shows no sign of slowing down as he thrust Richard Cypher into a new adventure. The first two stories are now starting to come together as this book answers questions that the first two may of left you with. A new enemy has appeared and thsi time not even the keeper of the underworld himself would take this new evil. Richard Cyper the man that longs to be at peace is again thrust into danger and peril as he steps up to face this new enemy of the free people. Again Goodkind writes in a style that makes you feel as if you are there, makes you feel that you are walking the same ground as the heroes and breathing the same air. The Characters that you have familiarised yourself with and have grown to love are still as...

Review of Blood of the Fold - Terry Goodkind

Folds Your Hands To Play

Advantages: It's got a good even mixture sad and slow, and happy and fast songs.
Disadvantages: Ben Folds Five have split, so if you get into them, once you've bought the other 3 albums, that's it.

...Let me tell you a true story, I used to be addicted to this album, and if I?m truthful I still am. My obsession actually began with a track not on this album. I bought the single "Underground" and played it on rotation. When "Battle Of Who Could Care Less" was released I found I was unable to resist buying my first Ben Folds Five album, "Whatever and Ever." And my sister will testify, as she was sharing a room with me at the time, how much I played this album. This album has just the right mixture of sing along songs, jump up and down anthems, and odd, sad reflective tracks. If you?ve never come across Ben Folds Five before, basically they were an American three-piece, (they split up a few months ago). There?s a piano, drums and cello or, occasionally a guitar. Ben Folds being the piano player and singer. On tracks like...

Review of Whatever and Ever Amen - Ben Folds Five

folding e-bike

Advantages: cheap to run, healthy way to get about, environmentally healthy
Disadvantages: heavy even with battery removed, not suitable for long distances

...suitable for long trips unless the battery is removed. They say that you get around 12.2 mph and I would reckon that's about right, unless you pedal. The throttle is on the right handle bar, and this can be a bit awkward when turning right, as you tend to engage the throttle without meaning to, however I am sure that we will get used to this with time. The bike folds fairly easily once you get used to it and can fit in the boot of a Ford Fiesta. It comes with a lockable box on the back, at no extra expense (although they refuse to accept any responsiblilty for damage in transit - fair enough) and it also has front and rear lights and a horn. It comes in 4 colours - we've got silver which is quite nice and cedirect.co.uk deliver for free which is great Generally speaking if you want a bike for city riding to and fro work, it is...

More Ben Folds Five

Advantages: Great band
Disadvantages: Not enough coverage

...I hope British radio and television discover Ben Folds Five soon. I'm a big fan but have never heard their songs on national radio and have only ever seen a couple of their video's on the sky digital channel MTV2. Not only do they have catchy tunes but their songs also have great and often very funny lyrics. They are also unique in that they are a three piece, with the main sound coming from Ben Folds' piano. I'm sure that if they got more coverage they would be as big in Britain as bands like Blur, Pulp and Supergrass....
