1Punk - JUGHEADS REVENGE - Pearly Gates

Advantages: Very consistant goodness
Disadvantages: Not quite as good as 'Just Joined'

...Pearly Gates was released by Jugheads Revenge (now Jugs Revenge because they got sued) on Nitro records way back in 1999. It is very rare to find an album with consistancy like this. Every song is quite amazing in it's own little way. If you haven't heard them before, the lead singers voice (Joe D) might sound a bit wierd, but you definitely get used to it. As I said, there really isn't one bad song on the whole album. There is also nothing really totally flippin' amazing here either. My favourite songs are no.1 (which starts off with a bloke talking - it works pretty well and is a really good idea), 2, 4, 7 (cool guitar riffs) and 11 (which borrows the riff off of 'Just Joined' song no.14). I haven't really made up my mind yet as to whether this one is better than their previous release, 'Just Joined'. Just Joined has...

Review of Pearly Gates - Jughead's Revenge

Baldurs Gate 1 Good value

Advantages: Very Cheap, Good interpretation of AD and D rules, Portable Charcters
Disadvantages: Old game, Buggy

...This is the first PC game I payed that I thought had a realistic interpretation of the AD&D rules. It also led me as a direct result of playing it to get both Icewind Dale and the vastly improved Baldurs gate 2. In the UK Baldurs gate 1 can be bought in the shops, bundled with tales of the sword coast, for the low price of GBP12.99 but it is probably available for much less on the net. The Game installed very easily, and the applying hte expansion pack was easy too, Although unless a full install oif all 6 CD's is done you might find the need to insert CD 6 (The expansion pack CD) when the game starts to authenticate the game, followed by the actual game CD you are playing, an anoyance. I know I did after a while. The game starts with you as a young whelp in a castle called candlekeep, and as much of the fun of the game is...

Cows Milk or Cow & Gate Milk

Advantages: added vitamins andminerals
Disadvantages: expensive

...Cow & Gate Follow on Milk... Jack is now an unbelievable 20 months old and I had stopped giving him any sort of formula milk when he was 1 year and moved him on to full fat cows milk. However he seemed to get cold after cold so we decided that maybe he needed the added nutrients that formula milk would offer him. We reverted back to formula milk several months ago and surprisingly he hasn't had a cold since so perhaps it has helped. When Jack was younger and on only formula milk for his food we used SMA milk but when looking at the price of SMA compared to Cow & Gate in the shops, most stores were selling Cow & Gate at around 25 to 30 pence cheaper. This may seem like a small amount but every little helps plus Cow & Gate sold a follow on milk which is specially designed for children from one year on. This is the milk we bought...

Baldur's Gate: not Balderdash!

Advantages: A great, tradiational role playing game. Loads to do.
Disadvantages: Might not run on modern Operating Systems, some voice acting irritations.

...Warning! This review uses words not often seen in the real world such as 'foe', 'flee', 'maiden' and the like. Apologies. Baldur's Gate has long been regarded as the best traditional RPG available on the PC. When I say traditional, I mean a game with the usual experience points system, magic weaponry, party of adventurers rather than something like Deus Ex, which was a hybrid of a few genres. Installation of the game is a breeze and before you know it, you're creating your character. Character creation is a staple of traditional RPGs and this one's no different. Most attributes can be altered, even the voice, and these are all fairly unimportant in the grand scheme of things. Watch your "rollable" attributes though - constitution, dexterity, charisma and the like. It's these that determine how much of a pansy (or not) your...

A Very easy Gate to Fit

Advantages: very easy instructions, very easy to fit
Disadvantages: says you can open it one handed but hmm this is a bit tricky

...We already have 2 stairgates in our house but one of them has broken and although my son is now 2 1/2 years old I really feel that we still need one by our living room door as it leads into the kitchen and I want to keep my son safe especially when I am cooking. I had a look online for stairgates and the Lindam Easy Fit Plus gate looked the best price, as we already have a Lindam gate I know that the quality of them is very good. Packaging The stairgate comes in a large square flat brown box , you will find on the box a picture of the stairgate with the product details that comes in various languages. Inside the box is a white metal stairgate which has a blue handle , a manual, a leaflet so you can order spare parts ,a box with :- 4 screw adjusters rings 2 screws 2 wall caps 2 sticky pads 2 wall plugs...

Enemy at the gates

Advantages: Good film
Disadvantages: Unrealistic

...Introduction ~ Yet another world war two war film except this is one with a difference. When we think of world war two we most likely think of England, Germany and America. But Russia actually paid a huge part in the war, that is often left out of films. Enemy at the Gates is about the war between Russia and Germany. Enemy at the gates is very unusual in the way that it is a film from the USSR’s point of view. To get an idea of how unlikely that would have been 20 years ago, imagine a Hollywood epic about the heroic lads of Iraq or Cuba. The exclusivity of what it takes for a story to get a greenlight in Hollywood is why there are still so many great true stories yet to be told, and Enemy at the Gates, depending upon how truthful you think it is (varying authors and experts dispute the existence of Tania, the heroine played by...

The Gates Of Rome Are Calling

Advantages: An excellent compelling story that has you gripped from the very beginning.
Disadvantages: A bit of a sudden ending, but paving the way for the series

...used true events as a basis. From there he has expanded each story enough to make an incredibly interesting and enthralling novel. It's important to remember that it is only loosely based on true events while you are reading it. If you are looking for true accounts of Caesar's life then I'd say hit the history books but this makes fantastic Historical Fiction. Until I discovered the joys of fantasy writing recently I'd never really taken much of a risk away from War and espionage stories. My discovery, first of David Gemmell and now Conn Iggulden has seen my range of books increase dramatically. Although I was used to sticking to set topics Iggulden has really sparked my interest in the Historical fiction genre. He has written one of the most compelling novels I've read in quite a while in The Gates of Rome. From the start Iggulden...

Good all rounder of a safety gate

Advantages: wider than average gates, looks good, sturdy, easy to fit, cheap
Disadvantages: hard to open one-handed, trip bar gets in the way

...When my baby started to crawl, I started to research into safety gates so that I knew I was getting the best thing for my money and the most suitable for what I needed. I settled on one of these Lindam Easy Fit Plus Gates for the bottom of my stairs, and I chose a different one for the top. I was rather restricted in choice of safety gates due to the width of my staircase being rather larger than average. I chose this gate because it fitted within my price range, was wide enough for the gap and looked like it was going to be simple to use, combined with it being the winner of various baby safety awards, I decided that it was the right gate for me. Price - I purchased two gates together from Toys R Us, this one was £21.99 and the other a few pounds cheaper. Toys R Us have been running a special offer for some time that gives you...

cow and gate milk too rich for baby's tummy

Advantages: slightly cheaper than some
Disadvantages: too rich for delicate tummies

...I bought this formula milk to have in the house before my baby was born as a precaution incase we needed to formula feed. i didn't know the difference between the different kinds of formula and was so overwhelmed with nursery furnture, prmas, baby clothes that formula was just another thing to worry about so didn't put much thought into it and just bought the one i'd heard of. Cow and Gate is one of th ebetter known baby milk formulas but it isn't the best on the market. Midwives tend to recommend the use of Aptimal as it's the closest to breast milk. When we used this formula my baby ended up very sick. She brought it straight back up and it wasn't a pretty sight! Upon speaking to others about this it turned out that a lot of people had had the same experience and so had changed milk to SMA or Aptimal. Cow and Gate is...

step through the heavens gate

Advantages: traditional hard rock
Disadvantages: Possibly not heavy enough for some

Gate of Heaven (4:35) *Total Running Time: 43:40 Livin in Hysteria Livin' in Hysteria The album title track starts things off with great flair. The meaning of the song isn't entirely clear perhaps down to somewhat poorly written lyrics. Musically and vocally the song is a real treat. Whilst it is a bonafide hard rock track it is very much like an eighties style rock song complete with whiny lead guitar. The track is pretty fast and full of intensity. This is in part where...
