On Guard, for this rip roaring film

Advantages: just excellence with a clever storyline
Disadvantages: the ending is a little deflating

...ON GUARD- A review by Addy Background On Guard is a French made film that was adapted for film from the book titled Le Bossu, (The Hunchback) by the author Paul Feval. On Guard was released in 2004 and is your swashbuckling style movie in the vein of all those classic Musketeer movies or The Count of Monte Christo. Being made in France the film On Guard is in French language with English subtitles. This gem of a film is filled to the brim with conspiracy, action, retribution, love, and passion with a healthy layer of wit to top it all off. However, for me what this film has in such abundance is simply that it is such great fun. Additional info Genre: Foreign Films Starring: Daniel Auteuil, Fabrice Luchini, Vincent Perez, Marie Gillain, Sacha Bourdo, Yann Colette, Jean-Francois Stevenin, Didier Pain, Charles...

Review of On Guard DVD

Right on guard.

Advantages: Smells good, great protection, no worrying that you might stink.
Disadvantages: Leaves white marks, flammable, could cause irritation.

...We all hate the thought of smelling don?t we? I have found a great way of avoiding that fear, Right Guard anti-perspirant deodorant. Right guard has many different versions of its sprays with slightly different smalls in each. I have the cool version. I have tried others but this is the one I prefer. They all perform the same and have the same effect. This deodorant is a spray can which holds 250ml. It is dark blue and black with a dotted background making the can look textured. It boldly says ?24 hour time released protection?. It says on the back - Microencapsulated fragrance releases over time when you need it most. - Provides 24 hour protection against wetness and odour. - Helps to keep you feeling fresh and confident all day. There is a push on pull off clear cap which covers the spraying cap so that it...

Review of Right Guard Deodorant Spray

soft guard - hard floor

Advantages: easy to assemble; light weight and fold up
Disadvantages: more dangerous than a tumble out of bed

...I recently moved my little boy (21 months) from a cot to a bed and as he?s such a fidgety sleeper we felt a bed safety guard was a must. After looking around at the various bed guards available I decided on the Tomy Soft Bed Guard, based on several factors:  This was one of the few bed guards that was suitable for a slatted bed ? my son has a cot bed and so it has a slatted base.  It comprises a soft mesh panel (similar to the Tomy stair gates) and so I felt he was less likely to wake himself up/hurt himself if he rolled into it in the night. He also as he has a tendency to drum his feet against the ends of his bed when he wants attention which he wouldn?t be able to do against the mesh.  It easily folds down whilst on the bed for reading bedtime stories and folds up small for going on holiday...

Be On Your Guards Guards

Advantages: Potentially excellent
Disadvantages: Doesn't use its potential

...**NOTE - This is a review of the graphic novel interpretation, adapted by Stephen Briggs and illustrated by Graham Higgins. Thought it was better here than in a separate section.** Dragons don’t half have a hard time of it, y’know. They have their name given to a 21 sided dice game with subsequent cartoon and crappy movie. They appear foolish in Pete’s Dragon. And Sean Connery did the voice for one in the turgid Dragonheart. If anyone can give them the majesty and mystery they deserve, it’s Terry Pratchett, right? Well… yes and no. Guards! Guards! begins with Discworld’s tallest dwarf being sent to the city to make his fortune by his parents. We then meet a mysterious secret order intent on conjuring a dragon up so the rightful king will turn up. Everyone knows kings have to fight dragons, y...

Review of Guards! Guards! - Terry Pratchett

Oh it's a banana guard, you're not just pleased to see me!

Advantages: Stops the banana getting mushed, lightweight
Disadvantages: Not always nessisary as a banana has inbuilt protection

...I bought a banana guard for my brother who is a keen off road cyclist and always has a pocket full of fruit to keep him going. It comes in a variety of colours, and incredably fits almost all bananas. Personally I went with the glow in the dark version as I figured anyone who needs additional banana protection could probably use protection suitable for all conditions! I have found it great the days I have used it for taking my banana to work, however my brother has complained that the smaller bananas rattle within the guard when he is out riding and end up a little mushy. For this reason I think that the guard is suitable for conditions that might require moderate damage to the banana, such as in a handbag or briefcase, however if it is unlikely to get directly bumped, but might be moving a lot, as is the case with cycling, horse riding...

Woof Wear Tail Guard

Advantages: Soft & Easy to use.
Disadvantages: Only 1 size and 1 Colour.

...I own the Woof Wear Neoprene Tail Guard and I have done for a few years as its so reliable. Manufactured from soft, flexible neoprene to protect the tail whilst travelling. It has 4mm PX closed cell neoprene, ergonomic design for easy positioning and fit, it is designed to protect from above top of tail right to end of dock. Has a plush outer finish for unlimited strap adjustment and a secure fit and 4 adjustable high density Touch & Close straps. I noticed after the first few times I used it, it slipped down my horses tail, not much but the top of the tail started to poke out. I thought it might be because my horse has quite a thick tail so I decided to put a tail bandage under the tail guard. After this the tail guard didnt slip once!! I also think that having a bandage under the tail is a bit more support and protection. I do...

Review of Neoprene Tail Guard

Mr Crud Race Guard

Advantages: Great, durable design, very adjustable, simple to fit, many colours.
Disadvantages: it further reduces the lowest seat height if you ride DH

...A great quality, durable mudguard. The mudguard is really simple and easy to fit, just attaching to the seat post (it comes with different sized blocks, so that you can fit it to any sized seat post). Then there is a bracket in the middle, then the guard its self, making it a simple, durable design. You can either buy a long, or short bracket (the bit that covers the distance between your seat post and the rear wheel) on my GT Avalanche, the long one is perfect. You can obviously change the height of the mud-guard, and the tilt of it. And when adjusted, it stays firmly in place, with a little movement to soak up the vibrations of riding. During use, it blocks 90% of all the mud you may encounter, and, should you take a tumble, the manufacturer claims that it is 'indestructible or your money back'. It is really easy to...

Review of Mr Crud Race Guard

Right Guard, Right Stuff

Advantages: Does the job, smells great
Disadvantages: a bit pricey but nothing else

...When i'm at work in the comforts of my office, the last thing i need are damn sweat patches that not only smell not too good, but a bloody sight embarrasing, it's happened to most men. It was time to find an anti-perspirant and fast. A trek to my local supermarket allowed me to see which i should choose. They didn't have alot so i wasn't really spoiled for choice, but the one that grabbed my attention was Right Guard Xtreme. I was curious about how well it does due to some adverts i saw, but they're made to glamorise products such as this. I didn't want to shell out on something that didn't work, so it was make or break. I got it home after paying somewhere in the region of £3.00 for it. I'm not sure if you go elsewhere it'll be cheaper but i wasn't really bothered. The more expensive it is, the more likely it'll work so this...

Review of Right Guard Xtreme Sport Ultra Spray Anti-Perspirant Deodorant

Well Guarded

Advantages: Funny, exciting
Disadvantages: Will get you hooked on the rest of the series

...This Discworld books are set on a flat, circular world that's carried on the back of four elephants, which stand on the back of a giant turtle called Great A'Tuin. The series is comedy, poking fun at many of the more serious fantasy series out there. This doesn't prevent there being a great deal of depth to the characters and interest in the plots. Although the Discworld books belong in the same world, and frequently use the same places as backdrops for the actions, there are various groups of characters. There are books focussing on the wizards of the Unseen University. Others have Death (and later his granddaughter) as the principle character. There are some that are stand-alones, with no knowledge of previous books required. Guards! Guards! is the first book to feature the Ankh Morpork City Watch as the main characters. As...

Review of Gaurds! Gaurds! - Terry Pratchett

Guard Your Card

Advantages: There are no advantages if you are the victim of fraud
Disadvantages: Stressful and difficult to sort out, Could cost you money

...it also underlines why it is important you do what you can to protect yourself against this sort of crime - it is stressful, difficult to sort out, and you could still find yourself paying your liability of £50 for a transaction you didn't make or authorise (or the full amount of the purchases made if your credit card provider decides you acted negligently). Credit cards are very useful things to have, but you do need to be careful with them - as long as this sort of fraud remains big business, then you would do well to take some precautions with your card and your personal data. There are several ways that you can guard your card: 1) When your statement arrives, check it carefully for any transactions you don't recognise. While purchases with some companies will appear under different names on your statements (e.g. Top Shop purchases...
