A multi purpose bowl

Advantages: really good
Disadvantages: might break if you drop it hard on stone floor

...Pyrex glass bowl 1 litre. This is not the smallest Pyrex glass bowl you can get there is a 0.5 litre glass bowl. The1 litre Pyrex glass bowl that I have is guaranteed for ten years. I have had mine more than ten years now without any harm coming to it. No chips no cracks no pitted surface the glass still crystal clear. This bowl is not a casserole dish just a simple round glass bowl , no lid Pyrex is made of borosilicate toughened heat resistant glass. Pyrex kitchen ware has been made by Corning Inc since 1915, before that this firm developed toughened glass for light bulbs in 1879 Pyrex is a good material for a bowl as it is non- porous and flavours and smells do not linger on the bowl after washing it. I have used my small Pyrex bowl 100000's of times for many different uses. I can use it in the oven...

Review of Hollywood Bowl

Lots of Bunnykins running round this bowl

Advantages: lovely baby bowl
Disadvantages: breakable

...I was looking for a set of crockery for a new baby and recalled the Bunnykins ones my daughter had as a birth present. The Royal Doulton company was formed in 1853 went into receivership in January this year 2009. I am sure Bunnykins products will still be made though. Today I am talking about the infant Bunnykins bowl, a basic bowl shape I believe called Albion shape. This is a 6 inch diameter cereal bowl. There is also a baby bowl available this has a flattened lip all the way around the bowl . Over the years there have been several Bunnykins picture designs inside the bowls the scene inside the bowl has changing designs rotating over the years .there is a kite one which is the one my daughter has , there is one with the bunny children playing with knitting wool, then there is the bunnykins in bunk beds. There are special...

Charrington Bowl

Advantages: new lanes, quite cheap
Disadvantages: can get very busy

...Charrington Bowl is a bowling alley owned by Hollwood Bowl. It has 32 lanes attached with bumpers for kids and a large number of different weighted bowling balls. There is also a café serving hot and cold food all-day, a bar, games arcade and bowling shop which sells a selection of bowling equipment and accessories. I have been to charrington bowl many times because it is a short drive from my house and whenever I have been I've had a good experience. The lanes are in good condition and have electronic scoring and technicians on hand if anything goes wrong or your ball gets stuck etc. The staff are all very friendly. There are a few offers that they do which allows you to bowl at a discounted rate. These include 'lanes of fame' 6 games for £6.00 per person available Monday to Friday between 10am and 3pm. Also, Sunday to Thursdays...

Review of Charrington Bowl - Tolworth

The Golden Bowl - the film version of the Henry James novel

Advantages: Attention to period detail, good work with costume accuracy
Disadvantages: Poor dialogue, too long, badly produced in my view

...The Golden Bowl is a film released in 2000, based on the book written at the turn of the twentieth century by Henry James. The film lasts for 130 minutes, and my review is based on the DVD. In essence, the plot is that Prince Amerigo marries Maggie Verver, the daughter of Adam Verver. However Amerigo is in love with Verver's best friend, Charlotte Stant. There are some really good actors in the film, Jeremy Northam plays Amerigo, who I thought was a superb Sir Thomas More in the US Tudors series. Maggie is played by the beautiful and talented actress Kate Beckinsale, Nick Nolte plays her father in the film, and Uma Thurman, who I remembered from her roles in Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill, plays Stant. The film is directed by James Ivory and produced by Ismail Merchant. And as for the quality of the film, I was disappointed. The film...

'Fruit bowl or Sugar bowl'

Advantages: Handy for a quick kids snack
Disadvantages: too sweet

...and by the time he had peeled the banana, then ate it he did not have enough time left to play football before the final whistle!!!! Then I discovered 'Fruit Bowl School Bars'. These bars appear to be directed primarily in the lunchbox !! that is obvious due to the packaging... **Packaging and contents** Bright green box same size as a CD box, juicy green freshly cut apples on the front with a picture of one of the bars looking juicy and succulent. The words 'School bars' is emblazoned across the front and in a yellow triangle in the top right were the words 'Ideal for lunchboxes'. On the back of the box, apart from the ingredients (later) was a little green box with a list....made with real fruit, natural colours, natural flavours, good for energy, low in fat and the rather confusing.....'3 x it's own weight in fruit, not sure I...

The Bowl Was On Fire.

Advantages: Queen at their finest
Disadvantages: Are you kidding me?

...This review I have been itching to do since Christmas, but I wanted to do it the proper justice it deserves. Queen On Fire. Live at the Bowl. June 5th 1982. Its explosive, raw, sexy, funky, foot-stompin', head-bangin' great music, and could only have been provided by one Legendary Group...... ****************************QUEEN*********************************** 1) FLASH. While this song is playing, the boys arrive by helicopter, and launch onto the stage to thunderous applause. I Love this song because it is so corny..... Hero saves the Universe, but not without being out in mortal danger first, and saving the girl.... You know how it goes........ 7/10 from me. 2) THE HERO. Quick, flashy, Great song to listen to. Freddie is really into the groove now...

Review of Queen On Fire (Live At The Bowl) - Queen

Breaking Glass, the sound of a shattered career

Advantages: Good music and insight into Britain in the early 80's
Disadvantages: Certain scenes are very difficult to watch now

...1980, Punk was dying and 2 Tone was only just getting established in the Midlands. Music was either the New Wave alternative, Glam Rock , Prog Rock or Disco. And what was Coventry songstress Hazel O'Connor doing with herself. Making this movie, Breaking Glass. It's about a young woman called Kate (apparently named after Kate Bush) trying to break into music from the bottom in the London music scene. Along with a fairly young Phil Daniels fresh from Quadrophenia who plays her manager Danny are Jonathan Pryce playing their deaf saxaphone player Ken, Ken Campbell playing the pub landlord who hosts the bands early gigs (and consistantly refuses to pay them for any), Mark Wing Davey (better known as Zaphod Beeblebrox) playing the record exec that Phil is helping to artifically create sales for. As far as other musical talent there is...

Review of Breaking Glass (DVD)

Heart of Glass

Advantages: A superb story
Disadvantages: No real dislikes for me

...NOTE: There are some spoilers here due to the nature of the film. Shattered Glass won some pretty good reviews from the critics as did Hayden Christensen for his portrayal of Stephen Glass the man who inspired this movie. This was my first opportunity to see the man who would be Vader since Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, so how was it? = What's it all about? = Those fearful words raise their head again “based on a true story”, Shattered Glass is based on a journalistic scandal involving reporter turned novelist Stephen Glass. It is a tale of truths and lies, Stephen Glass is a reporter for The New Republic magazine, big deal? Well it also happens to be the magazine of choice...

The Beauty of Glass

Advantages: Simply beautifully moving
Disadvantages: None whatsoever

...I find it very difficult to begin to try and explain Philip Glass? Solo Piano because despite my preponderance of music ops I have absolutely no understanding of the theory behind music; terminology and technique means nothing to me: this is not a virtue and especially in attempting to explain the subtle delight in Glass? music I find myself flummoxed, but I shall try nevertheless, if only because no one else has and it is music that I love. I am very much a new convert to Glass? music and am now firmly entrenched in the belief that his work is magnificence of the highest order. From my little knowledge of outward cultural reaction to Glass it always appears to me that he has a following of near cult status, unusually successful and yet somehow shunned by critics and the establishment in favour of other composers. I am perhaps wrong...
