A fairy on my plate

Advantages: cute
Disadvantages: cheap

...raised rim to the plate which is white. This then has a darker pink band around the edge of the plate with a few stars on it. It really is a pretty girly plate My granddaughter likes to eat from this plate. We sometimes have a picnic in the garden and use it. I do not have to worry about it breaking. This plate is made from melamine. It is dishwasher safe but not microwave useable. If you have a girly toddler then yes I would recommend this plate. I bought mine from Wilkinson?s for £1.99p. You could buy it on line at http://www.wilkinsonplus.com. There is also a plastic glass to match available too ....

Review of Sparkly Princess Melamine Plate

This plate can take the heat

Advantages: can withstand heat up to 300 c
Disadvantages: none

...I have 2 Pyrex reheat plates I do used them often. These plates are a clear toughened glass they are 25cm radius. About the same as most dinner plates. So why do I use these and what for? Well I use them in the microwave and in the oven as they are made of borosilicate glass and can be heated up to 300c without breaking. I use these plates as a splatter guard in the microwave when I am cooking in a pot without a lid. I also use them in the microwave as a plate if I wish to cook /reheat something. I have sometimes put a complete dinner on it frozen it and put it in the microwave to heat up useful I did a couple of plates like this after I had come out of hospital. I do not think these glass plates very attractive so do not use them often for eating my meal from. If I had one I could wash these plates in the dishwasher and as I...

Review of Just For Fun Winnie The Pooh Plates

The perfect gift on a plate

Advantages: A sound investment
Disadvantages: The initial cost

...Personalised Car Registrations from the DVLA It is said that a man views his car as an extension of himself, but for a woman a car is just a house on wheels, something she can furnish and lavish gifts on. If this is true, it occurred to me that when shopping for my wife this Christmas I should include something for her car - along with the perfume, the earrings and the Black Magic, of course. Alloy wheels and sun shades, matching seat covers, car mats and more, she has the lot. The one thing she hasn't got is that ultimate in car accessories - her very own personalised number plate. ---But isn't that expensive?--- That all depends on where you shop and what you want on the plate. A prefix style registration - that is, one with a year letter indicator followed by a number, a space and three letters - is one of the cheapest you can...

Review of personalised registration number plates

Pioneer Spirit & Glass Plates

Advantages: Touching insight into a life, and a way of life
Disadvantages: None

...the floor, or what vegetables had been harvested. She would tell what she & Ewen read, the poetry they shared and the spats they had. There are the raised animals and the adopted ones. The ranched horses and the wolf cubs. The birds and coyotes. Friends and neighbours and townspeople. Itinerants and hunters and shearers. It is a very real tangible time and place. That is only half the story though, that is just the words. There are also the photographs. In 1888 Kodak introduced the flexible film roll camera. Small and lightweight. It revolutionised photography, allowing amateurs to take the pictures and send them to the professionals to be developed. Yet five years later when Evelyn decides to take up the art, she opts for dry-plate glass photography. She learnt manual exposure (removing the lens cap & counting...

Bunny kins running round tyhe plate for baby

Advantages: cute
Disadvantages: fragile

...Don?t you just love Bunnykin?s nursery ware all those plates and bowls made by Royal Doulton. One I have seen baby use is the baby plate, it was a china plate but a melamine one is also produced. *Shape. Now this Bunnykins baby plate is a better shape for baby really than the flat plate or even the cereal/pudding type bowl. It has a flat stable base and straight sides /edges. There is a lip at the top of the straight sides this makes the bowl easier for mummy/daddy/nanny to grip while feeding baby. Personally I prefer the standard flat plate, or the other shape of bowl, Albion I believe its called, the pudding shaped bowl. This baby plate does look babyish I think the other shapes would be more acceptable to a 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 year old who thinks they are grown up . *Pictures There are several different scenes that are found...

Review of Royal Doulton Bunnykins Baby Plate

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...

Review of Shattered Glass (DVD)

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...

Review of Solo Piano - Philip Glass

Through a glass darkly

Advantages: Good Conclusion
Disadvantages: Slow pace

...discover all the charges against Marco have been dropped. Upon his release the three men bump into Marco's father in law De Cal, an owner of the local glass making plant. He is furious with Marco and threatens to hurt him. After some informal enquiries Brunetti is satisfied that 'the old man' is just shouting his mouth off and means him no actual harm. Then Giorgio Tassini, the Night Watchman at the Glass Plant is found dead. Upon investigation he has also been talking bitterly about the Plant to everyone. Brunetti discovers he has a dossier about the Plant, claiming the owner to be responsible for his two year old daughter's bad health. The Commissario must find out if it is Tassini's own guilt that makes him believe this or if there really is a case to answer by De Cal and the other next door plant owner Fasano. My thoughts...
