Nice coffee table

Advantages: stylish, good quality, perfect size, reasonable price
Disadvantages: sore to stub your toe on!

...As one of those people who had a really old, proper wood coffee tables (it became a sanding experiment gone bad!), I didn't fancy going for a completely modern glass type one. I first came across the Nexus range at the sale in Macdonald's furniture, and decided to go for the coffee table and the lamp table in light oak. The range is also available in chestnut. I think the oak looks better in small spaces as it's a lighter colour - the glass panel in the middle also helps to give the feeling of space in a room. In my opinion, the table is stylish yet not in a way that will make it ever look outdated. It measures H41cm x W129cm x D62cm and has stylish slotted joints and a smoky glass insert and was apparently designed by a British designer. It is constructed from mostly oak veneer and some solid oak. It's easy enough to push around...

Review of Nexus Glass Top Coffee Table

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

The Captains Table, Molyvos, Lesvos.

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

...for money. After the meal they brought us a complimentary plate of peanut brittle, and each of us except for Samuel a glass of cherry brandy. The Captains Table overlooks the harbour, and at night is just magical. The staff are very good, but not intrusive. Most of them are from Australia and working there for the summer. One of our waitresses had seen the job advertised in London, whilst staying in London from Australia, thought the weather in England was not up to much so applied and flew out for 10 weeks. The owner herself Melinda is from Australia and married Theo the fisherman some years ago. We would all agree that what you read when you ?Google? the Captains Table is correct and we look forward to returning again just to satisfy ourselves that we where right first time....

Review of The Captain's Table, Lesvos

Toning Tables that exercise and vibrate!

Advantages: Fun way to get in shape, and of course there's the vibrating table !
Disadvantages: Possibly the cost, depending on where you go

...Ever thought about using Toning Tables? Wondered about toning up and trimming down all those wobbly bits! I have discovered this lovely place to visit where I can relax while shaping up! There's even a vibrating table! What Slender You says: Slender You® has been in business since 1983 as the world's largest motorized fitness system.

Conscience Coffee

Advantages: Fairtrade, ethical business, reasonable product
Disadvantages: Bit bland, not full bodied as rivals or real ground coffee

...-term planning and sustainable production practices. So glowing with enthusiasm and pride from the moral high ground I set about enjoying this worthwhile product. Just gleaning this from the Fairtrade Foundation Website is almost enough to make you feel good about any Fairtrade labelled products. My Experience The glass jar is highly colourful and attractive, sealed with a screw top plastic lid, beneath which sits the usual foil seal to keep the product fresh. Opening the pack did not deliver me the same intensity of aroma as its Kenco rivals, but the freeze dried granules looked fresh and consistent. The packaging blurb leads you to believe that this coffee will give you an adventure in coffee and connect you somehow with the people who grow and produce it. My nostrils clearly failed this first test! I have however persisted with the coffee...

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. Main Features: Fast paced table football action Create your own team of Table Football players Play using official rules or create bespoke rules to suit the game Partnership with ITSF Play on official tables Firstly you are greeted with a set of options enabling you to set-up games using any of the Table footballing rule sets, you may select to play from a number of pitches, also deciding you're team, the opponents and the weight/ material of the ball you wish...

Review of Table Mountain (South Africa)

Coffee with a Conscience?

Advantages: Good taste, cheap, sustainable development.
Disadvantages: Air miles?

.... You can check out more about the Rainforest Alliance at: www.ra.org This is in fact a very cool website and I may review this at a later date. The smell and taste: Open the jar and you are hit with a very rich and dark smell, that is unmistakenly coffee, but also has a distant smell of chocolate in my opinion. I also love the paper tops that coffe jars have and the smell that hits you when you pop them. The smell when you pour boiling water over the granules is divine, one spoon is adequate, I use two. The taste is rich, I was surprised at how much like filter coffee it tastes as I am not a great fan of instant, it is smooth and strong and leaves an aftertaste that is pleasant and decadent. Packaging: The Jar it comes in is glass and is quite attractive with a bamboo coloured facia that has a picture of some coffee beans...

Review of Kenco Instant Coffee

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...
