And Go They Did, Sadly

Advantages: Better than the previous album
Disadvantages: Not the greatest way to end a recording career

...-standing fans hadn?t liked it, and Terrorvision didn?t want to follow that road any further. However, the band were having too much fun to give up, and signed a fresh record deal in order to show EMI, and the world, what they?d been foolish enough to throw away. The world rejoiced. Well, certain parts of the world did, anyway. My house rejoiced, at least, and the album was bought and played to death. It?s not as good as the ?How to Make Friends and Influence People? album which made 1994 the year of Terrorvision on the rock circuit, but it certainly wasn?t far behind ?Regular Urban Survivors?, which had produced their biggest hit thus far in 1996. And it knocked spots off ?Shaving Peaches? which, after all, was the band?s main aim at that point. It stuck two fingers up at EMI and shouted ?we?re still here, and we?re still great!? Had either...

Going to School - another term starts!

Advantages: A lovely book offering an insight into a child's first day at school.
Disadvantages: None

...This is an Usborne First Experiences Book by Anne Civardi and Stephen Cartwright. ISBN 0-7460-1270-5 RRP - £3.95 My granddaughter started nursery school in September and when I saw this book in the library during the summer holidays I thought it would be a good way of introducing her to situations that she hadn't met before. The story starts by introducing the Peaches family - mum, dad and the twins Percy and Polly along with their pets Sidney the gerbil, Dusty the cat and Ping and Pong the two kittens. The Peaches' live in a flat above the Marsh family who have a daughter called Milly. The story goes through the routines of getting up, having breakfast and getting ready for school. At school the children have a special hook for their coats and in the classroom there is a variety of activities for the children to participate in...

Go On, Be Good To Yourself!

Advantages: Tastes Nice, Healthy
Disadvantages: Only Available At Sainsbury's

...Sainsbury's Be Good to Yourself Mushroom and Bacon Tagliatelle is just one of hundred's of products in the Sainsbury's Be Good to Yourself range. As the name suggests these products are supposed to be healthier and better for you than the equivalent product from their standard range. This healthier option does generally come at a slightly inflated price but to help the consumer decide if this extra cost is worth paying each of the products in the Be Good to Yourself range are clearly labelled with a Wheel of Health. The Wheel of Health is prominently displayed on the front of the packaging and this is colour coded in line with the recommendations made by the Food Standards Agency. I buy Sainsbury's Be Good to Yourself Mushroom and Bacon Tagliatelle fairly regularly. This purchase decision is based mainly on the fact that I like...

The Simpsons Go To Hollywood Review

Advantages: Amazing writing, full of memorable moments
Disadvantages: None

...The Simpsons - Classics - Go to Hollywood is a collection of four episodes including some new, and some classic ones. The episodes included are "When You Dish Upon a Star", "Fear of Flying", "Krusty Gets Kancelled" and "Flaming Moes". "When You Dish Upon a Star" has Homer, through some bizarre accident, becoming the personal assistant to Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger, who are staying in a secluded home in Springfield. After he becomes fired for telling his friends about who he's working for, he launches "the museum of Hollywood jerks" with various undergarments etc. With all celebrities in The Simpsons, they are never afraid of poking fun at each other, and both have some good lines together. Ron Howard makes another appearance and is again hilarious, especially when he steals Homer's film idea and the "Happy Days" theme plays...

Let's go to the City

Advantages: Hours of fun
Disadvantages: Characters talk too much

...Animal Crossing: Let's Go To The City is a game for the Nintendo Wii. You can purchase it on its own, or also with Wii Speak which enables you to talk to your friends via the game. The game on its own retails for approximately £27, and the cheapest I have seen it with Wii Speak was for £44 (from both ASDA and Zavvi if anyone is interested) although prices are subject to change. Wii Speak retails on its own for £25, so if you weren't sure if you wanted it, it is always possible to purchase it at a later date, although it will cost more in the long run. I had waited weeks to buy this, after many failed attempts, such as not being able to justify spending £44 on a game, I could finally justify it and off I went to buy it. I decided upon ASDA in case it was faulty, and I could return it, whereas I am not sure where Zavvi stand...

Topsy and Tim Go To Hospital

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...'Topsy and Tim Go To Hospital' is written by Jean and Gareth Adamson. It is one of the many adventures of the two twins which first began to be published in 1960. In this story poor old Tim has bumped his head and needs to go to hospital to have it checked out. He stays on the children's ward, has an x-ray and makes lots of new friends. He has such a great time that Topsy feels left out and decides that she needs to go to hospital too, with a sore tummy. Topsy is soon cheered up by Tim's homecoming and a surprise present from Dad. 'Topsy and Tim Go To Hospital' is one of the most useful books from the Topsy and Tim series when it comes to helping children cope with new experiences. Any child would be terrified going to hospital for the first time and I think that this sweet story could be very reassuring. This book is published as...

HEEY !! ABBOTT !!! Lets go to MARS?

Advantages: STILL VERY FUNNY
Disadvantages: NOTHING

...eventually uncover the real murder, though you can see who it is right from the beginning. Lots of running gags and slapstick made zanier with the aid of an invisible man. Hilarious and madcap right from the start until the barmy ending. The invisible squirrel is especially funny. Sound quality is good to very good. Picture quality is along the same lines, not really DVD but non the less highly watchable. DVD Extras, non to speak of apart from the usual sound options. Runtime 78 minutes Go to Mars: = The boys are maintenance men at NASA, as if !!! And one day bud accidentally presses a button which sends a space rocket to the New Orleans Mardi Gras instead of Mars. MAR di Gra S = Mars Bud never could spell. When the boys emerge they think they are on Mars because of all the weird Mardi Gras costumes. Just then they get...

Fries to go, the perfect tool for bribery!

Advantages: My kids love them.
Disadvantages: I don't!

...Well as this is a chip review you can guess whose favourite these are, yes you've guessed it my kids absolutely adore these so who am I to refuse! Actually they like them so much it is now classed as one of those bribery tools to get them to behave! The product I will now review is "Original fries to go". I hadn't heard of these chips until my mother brought them from Asda one day. My mum used to be my main childcare for my daughter and for a short time my son, so she was always trying to get them fed and watered before she had to go to work and also to save me a job when I had finished an 8 hour shift, my mums always been great! Discovering my children's penchant for chips, especially McDonalds fries, she found if she cooked a box of these, split it between the two of them and served it with vegetables and maybe a fish finger...

Review of McCain Original Fries to Go

Be good to yourself

Advantages: Funny, thought provoking
Disadvantages: bit on the short side.

...I bought "How to be good" for my husband, and waited patiently until he'd read it. It wasn't easy, but that's the sort of thing that good people do..... or is it? Katie Carr is a doctor, she believes in being good, she tries to do the right thing, but she has no plans about changing the world. She is a long way short of perfect - she gets tetchy with her children, she's had an affair, (but there were reasons of course) and, perhaps worst of all, she has to live with the angriest man in Holloway. David Carr does very little - but what he does mostly is write a short angry column in a local paper. He's terribly angry - not about thrid world debt or pollution, but about old ladies on buses and ice cream at the theatre. His rage seems comical, sinister, strangely misplaced. Katie and David are at war, taking continual pot shots at each...
