Off With Their Heads

Advantages: Great for stress relief, incredibly addictive
Disadvantages: Hard to operate at times on the Wii

...Picture the scene: Its Boxing Day the mother in law and grandmother are engaged in conversation, while the other half is submerged in a book; meanwhile I'm animated in front of the television Wii controllers in hand casually hacking people's heads off with machete's before waving them at windows or violently assaulting people with the heads of their one time brothers in arms. This is the world of Manhunt 2 an ultra violent game available on the Wii, PS2, and PSP; the games original version ended up on the banned list and caused quite some stir five years ago when it was launched by Rockstar games. Back then as news of the impending ban was announced on the game wise Ebay traders bought as many copies in as many formats as they could in order to make a killing the moment the ban came into place. I personally sold a few for upwards...

Review of Manhunt 2 (Wii)

Off with your head!

Advantages: taste nice
Disadvantages: bad for your teeth

...Sitting in my drawer at work is a large bag of jelly babies. It's not often I buy these, but the half price offer was too much for my sweet tooth mood last week when I really needed a pick me up. Jelly Babies come from many manufacturers and you will find a lot of imitations from other companies. I will buy the cheaper versions if Bassets aren't on offer, but there is something about the true original variety of jelly babies that makes me smile. I'm not sure if its memories from my childhood of biting off the jelly heads, and eating the poor defenceless mites limb by limb until there was nothing left, or whether it's the lovely fine sugar coating that surrounds these jelly sweets. Bassets packaging for jelly babies don't seem to have changed too much in the past. The packaging is still bright yellow and sports the little jelly...

Review of Bassett's Jelly Babies

OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!

Advantages: Real fruit jelly characters.
Disadvantages: None.

...-- JELLY BABIES-- "When Jelly Babies were launched in 1918 to celebrate the end of World War 1, Bassett's called them "Peace Babies". Shortage of raw materials stopped production during the Second World War, but was resumed in 1953 when the sweets became known as Jelly Babies". I adore Jelly babies. There is something really fun about them and I love biting off their heads! They appeal to young and old and they really are cheerful colourful soft sweet characters. Made by Bassets, they are one of the biggest selling jelly sweets in the UK today. "Bassetts are available in Great Britain and Ireland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and North America. Along with their Liquorice Allsorts Bassetts Jelly Babies are now very much a UK national institution...

Review of Bassett's Jelly Babies

Off With Their Heads

Advantages: Bit of action, bit of romance, bit of mystery
Disadvantages: Not as good as others of its genre

...and getting on their nerves. They give chase to him and he meets and is helped by (and in turn helps) pretty villager Yuanyin and returns with her to Martial Village, supposedly the next place on the bandits' list with many coveted heads. Because of his past Fu is imprisoned by the village but Yuanyin trusts him and enables the help of her friend Fang and Fang's boyfriend Han to free him. Whilst Fang stays to take the fall for the group (she is the chief's daughter, so they assume she won't get into too much trouble), Han and Yuanyin go with Fu to Mount Heaven and Master Shadow-Glow for his help. Shadow-Glow has four disciples, although we only really meet Chu Zhaonan (Dragon Sword), no other swordsmen are explored; we just have a cursory introduction to them. I assume they each have their own stories and that the book has more detail, but...

Review of Seven Swords (Subtitled) (DVD)

Off with his head!

Advantages: Original and intriguing
Disadvantages: Incomprehensible in parts

...constantly brush off his questions and encourage him to enjoy life in the prison. Cincinnatus is the only prisoner in the whole of the prison, until M. Pierre moves into the cell down the hall. Rodion and Ivanovich encourage the two prisoners to spend time together, although Cincinnatus is confused by M. Pierre, who seems to be almost a circus performer, amongst other things. Why are any of them there and what are are the strange visions that Cincinnatus keeps experiencing? The characters Cincinnatus is kept very much as a mystery. Occasionally the author takes us back into his past, into the days as a worker when he met and married his wife Marthe, but very little is mentioned about the man himself. He seems to be deeply depressed; understandable when he has been imprisoned for a reason he doesn't know and doesn't know exactly when the end...

Review of Invitation to a Beheading - Vladimir Nabokov

Giving head

Advantages: Total relaxation
Disadvantages: Not suitable for all people unfortunately.

...in turn. A gentle man visiting the barbers as part of the treatment will finish off his haircut and shave with a head massage. Indian Head Massages are given on the beaches as part of relaxation by vendors. The whole Indian culture benefits and is seen to be a reason they tend to be more laid back and less stressed. The massage itself differs in different parts of the country and when it was introduced here in the UK by Dr. Narendra Metha in the 1970's, it also incorporated, not just the head but also the back, upper arms and shoulders, neck and face areas too. This treatment had become westernised. Indian Head massage is a powerful therapy and had a positive effect on the whole person, Mentally and physically and can balance the body's energy centres, know as chakras. It is becoming increasingly popular and has many benefits...

Review of Indian Head Massage

4head-aches, use this!

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...Every so often I get awful headaches. They are torture, feeling as though my head is being at once gripped in a vice and being kicked from the inside at the same time . Whilst generally paracetomol and other painkillers do work, they take some time to act, and when they wear off I'm usually reluctant to take more . Fairly recently, I was up at my mums when a headache started to make itself known . Quick as a flash, my mum felt around in her handbag, before thrusting 4head into my hand- - a stylish silver container with a clear plastic lid, looking like a short , fat lip salve . At the bottom of the pack is a part that you twist to get more of the product to come out of the tube . The hot pink label announces that this is 3.6 g . It also informs us the Levomenthol is the active ingredient . Now, I'm aware of menthol in a lot of products...

Review of Diomed 4Head

4head

Advantages: it works
Disadvantages: if you any where near your eyes you will know it! expensive

...later on you need to re-apply then you can. Once applied you can carry on with what you were doing although I normally try and sleep the headache off. Be VERY VERY VERY careful not to rub your eyes as if you do you will more than likely get some of the stuff in your eyes and will be temporarily blind and in more pain than you were before!! Once applied the remedy does not leave a mark at all on your forehead so no worries about looking daft! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Dosage ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Due to the fact that it is a natural remedy the ?4head? stick can be used as often as required, however the instructions to say to avoid excessive use. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Sensation ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ The immediate sensation is a cooling and tingling one which is...

Review of 4Head Headache Relief

Scent Off

Advantages: helps reduce pet fouling on lawns, cheap and works well
Disadvantages: none

..., the areas will need to be cleaned and treatment re-applied. The pellets should be stored in a cool place and are packaged in a plastic bag inside the box. Providing that the packet remains unopened, the pellets will retain full strength for 2 years. Once the packet has been opened the bag needs to be sealed securely with a clip and not just folded over a few times. So did the Scent Off pellets work? In short, Yes. As soon as they were put on my lawns the cats stopped pooing on the garden and even though we had few days of heavy rain and strong winds, this made no difference. During the 4 week period I also mowed the lawn. My neighbours' cats still run across my garden, but at least they are not longer messing in it. As Vitax Scent Off Pellets are a 4 week treatment, I headed back to Wilkinson's to buy another box and will continue using...

Review of Vitax Scent Off

Off with the heads of the republicans!!

Advantages: History, tourism, something to be proud of
Disadvantages: None

...I am a staunch royalist and always have been. I think the royal family are fantastic and to abolish them would be a tragedy. Here's a few reasons why I think this. HISTORY: I'm hoping to become a history teacher so history is obviously high on my priority list. Britain has had kings and queens since before the Romans invaded. The current line can be traced back over 1000 years. Isn't this fact alone something to be proud of? How many other institutions can be traced that far back? Well, very few actually. In that time we have had 11 years of being a republic when Oliver Cromwell decided it would be a good idea to chop Charles I's head of (OK so maybe I simplify!) and look what a diaster that turned out to be. By the end of they were begging Charles II to come back. Ok so the situation is different now, the Queen has little real...
