Garlando G500 Table Football Table

Advantages: Commercial quality table at an affordable price.
Disadvantages: Assembly instructions and balls could be better.

...I recently bought a Garlando G500 table for use by all the family and have not been disappointed. I know Garlando tables from playing on their coin-operated models at college and was worried that the freeplay models would not give the same playability. However, the G500 uses the same telescopic rods as the tables I was used to and has the same size playing are so the feel is very similar. It is also heavy enough not to move around during play by 4 big lads and the contruction is completely rigid and very solid. Very few negatives other than a couple of the balls were a bit egg shaped although it came with 10 so 8 were fine ! The table was well delivered and was easy to set up although it did take some time to get the rods in the right order as the instructions were not very clear. You can see the G500 for sale onlline at www.garlando.co.uk....

Review of Garlando G500 Football Table

Table Football. A good game

Advantages: Good game. Fun. Good Graphics.
Disadvantages: Takes some getting used to

...Ok so i wasnt too sure about tis game at first. Im not the best at table football on an actual table, so playing it in simulation did'nt seem the best idea, but something was telling me to give it a go. I was not too sure wether it would work well on screen and how the controls would work. But i have to say im pleasantly surprized that this is actually a good game.

Review of Table Football (Wii)

Top of the tables - ten out of ten

Advantages: Smooth rod action, Strong, Good finish, Professional Standard Football Table
Disadvantages: Tricky to level on an unlevel floor

...I've always enjoyed table football - but only on fast, proper full size football tables. I even won a medal for goalie in a college tournament, so when a major birthday loomed a year last November I decided to try and get my own football table. I tried various web sites and the one that seemed to offer the best combination of specification and value for money was the Garlando G500 from Table Sports Ltd. So I shelled out £285 plus £40 delivery on a Garlando G500 football table. It is like the one in "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" and has excellent smooth action telescopic steel playing rods with nylon bushes and ball bearings and a full set of moulded players in red and blue. The main table is made out of solid 25mm heavy duty MDF with butchers block melamine surface, and box section steel legs. The playing surface is green plastic...

Our Table Table at Carlisle Bordergate

Advantages: Unique design works well, quality pub food, reasonable prices.
Disadvantages: Close proximity to motorway makes outdoor eating a no no for me, tiny loo's.

...A couple of weeks ago, my parents and I, along with my children, decided we would go out for a bar meal. We've all been quite busy recently and it's been quite a while since we got together like this. We decided to go to a place we knew pretty well, which was reliable and child friendly. Knowing it as it's former name, 'The Carrow House', and more recently 'The Border Gate' and part of the Brewers Fayre chain we headed off. Arriving, we where surprised to see it had been taken over again, and completely refurbished, now under the name '"Table Table'" About Table Table This isn't a chain I personally have ever come across before, indeed didn't realise it was actually part of the same company as Brewers Fayre. Part of The Whitbread Chain, Table Table has a more up-market feel than it's sister chain Brewers Fayre. Table...

Review of Table Table

I'd recommend a table at Table Table!

Advantages: Food presentation, good seating and decor, portion size, quality of food, vegetarian dishes
Disadvantages: Temperature of the restaurant, long waiting time, extras that weren't stated

...Yesterday was my dad's birthday, and for the evening we decided it would be a good idea to go out as a family to Table Table for our dinner. So after getting ready and changing into my Ark Clothing dress that I'd bought a couple of months ago, but hadn't got round to wearing, we made our way to the restaurant - at around 6:15. The Exterior When we got there it was around 6:30, and the six of us - My dad, my mom, my sister, my grandma, my grandad and me - made our way inside the restaurant to take our seats and wait for my auntie and uncle to arrive. The outside of the restaurant was very typical, but very nice looking. There were two, maybe three, benches outside for people to sit on in the nice weather if they decided to, and I pointed out to my mom that it looked like a restaurant you'd see abroad. I'm not actually sure why...

Review of Table Table

Football mad

Advantages: A great game for all.
Disadvantages: Quite expensive.

...I must write about the latest purchase a table football! I had never seen the attraction of playing this game until we have a go in our local pub. I was instantly hooked on it and thought what a great idea this would be for the youth club. I have purchased it on behalf of a local youth group. It was rather an expensive buy at £299.00 from www.excercisezone.com, but it was one of the cheapest after doing a search on one of those price comparison sites. It is made of pine wood making it very durable and strong. It's basically a table with a deep top where there are long steel tubes going across it width ways with the men attached to the tubes. There is a glass plate on top of the table making the men inside locked in. The tubes are what you play with and there are four on each side with a handle on each of the tubes for you to...

Review of Harvard Table Football

The Captains Table, Molyvos, Lesvos.

Advantages: Wonderful food, service, with great view.
Disadvantages: Nothing to write about.

...Google ?The Captain?s Table? Lesvos and you can read the following: ?The Captain?s Table is reputed to be one of the finest of its kind in all Greece - don?t just take our word for it - see what ?The Lonely Planet?, ?The Rough Guide?, and the famous American ?Frommers? and numerous other international guide books have to say.? We have just been to Lesvos for two weeks and we ate at The Captains Table 6 nights out of the 14 and 1 night we could not get a table. I add that we where a group of 7 of us so finding a table for 2 is a lot easier. During the course of our stay we must have had everything on the menu. They have a special every day of the week, salmon, hake, stuffed pork. Our menu and cost for one evening was as follows: Mushroom a le grec, which Ann and Dougie had and Ann had each night we went. Tzatziki...

Review of Toning Tables

Time for table football.......

Advantages: fun to play
Disadvantages: tables are expensive!!

...today. The table consisted of a plywood box, with wooden dowels for the rods, and rectangular blocks of wood for the players. For those of you who are unsure, I will explain how a table football table works. The field of play is rectangular in shape, and has the markings of a regular football pitch. Each side of this pitch is walled, and the table can either be open-top or covered in glass, so that the balls do not escape. There is a hole for the goal at each end of the pitch, and 11 players on each team, mounted on metal rods in a 2-5-3 formation. The balls are fed into the table through a small hole in one of the side walls, and the aim, naturally, is to hit the ball with the players and score goals. I must admit, when I first attempted to play this game, I was hopeless. Completely. I lost count of the number of own goals I scored...

Leapfrog Bilingual Leapstart Learning Table

Advantages: Encourages clear language, motor skills, variety of stimulation
Disadvantages: Takes up a little room.

...I love this toy! I know it was meant to be for my 1-year-old daughter but I love pressing all those different buttons just as much as she does. :-D It plays 50 songs and melodies in English and French. The lights are very bright and appealing to babies. There is a lot of different activities for the little ones some of them aimed at developing motor skills. The babies can spin, slide, push, pull, open and close things. The open and close especially goes down a treat with a small compartment underneath to hide treats in or sometimes Mummy's house key! Great is too that the instruments on the table play their actual sound by pressing them in various ways. There is so many sounds going on that I am glad for the two-step-volume control although the songs really have not even started annoying me yet, not even when playing for 15...
