index

Advantages: don't have to leave home
Disadvantages: can't try the clothes on

...I ordered a coat form index extra (www.indexextra.co.uk) and although i had to wait a while it did eventually come. The problem with the site is that it is hard to navigate and very slow, as you would expect with all the images but this was really slow, i also had to place my order twice and make two phone calls to the company before my order was finally accepted. They give you the option of easy payment, with which you get 10% off your order. Although it took about a week for my coat to arrive, when the site says 2 days, i was mainly pleased with the service and i now have a nice new coat. Only do certain sizes (up to a 14)...

ITS A RIGHT INDEX TO INDEX.

Advantages: Good if they have it.
Disadvantages: They normally dont have it.

...Its My Right Index to Index. Its almost Xmas and myself and my partner are planning what presents to get for friends and family. This is me looking back by the way and I am not confused as to what month we are in. It?s the 6th April so please don?t be worrying about my sanity, well maybe just a bit. So out with the good old Index book and lets have a look at what there is in it. To be fair it is a really good catalogue and has something for everyone. So we look at the toys section and get that toy for the kids and something for my Mum and a few things for ourselves, cant very well leave ourselves out can we. The list is complete and the codes are all filled in and its just a matter of getting into the car and driving to Index. On arrival I can see its totally packed and I know I should have done my Xmas shopping earlier but...

Short and straight Brio track.

Advantages: Usefull pieces of rail
Disadvantages: None

...Brio Mini straight tracks . These small pieces of straight track are actually a very useful addition to a Brio track. Thee are 4 pieces in this pack http://www.thelittlehencompany.com are selling it for £3.95. There are many other online shops selling this for similar prices. Just search for the best deal. These mini straight rails are not all the same 2 of the pieces of rail have at opposite ends one male/lug and one female /hole joining part 1 of the other pieces has two female /holes joining parts , the remaining piece has both ends with a male /lug joining part. Each piece is small and measures 54 mm 2? These pieces are as I said incredibly useful. If you are constructing an elaborate railway circuit then you may well find you have left a very small space to fit a piece of track or you are stuck with two male /lug...

Review of Brio Mini Straight Tracks

Are you on the right track?

Advantages: nice story
Disadvantages: /

...When I was younger I always had my nose in a book. Being the huge animal lover I was, I often chose to read books about animals. The Animal Ark book series by Lucy Daniels was very popular with me, and one of the titles was Tiger on the Track. Although you should never judge a book by its cover, I always do, so it is important that it looks quite good! The cover of this particular book is quite cute. There is an image of a tiger, staring out at you. While tigers can be quite scary, it reminds me of the lion king (ironically), and holds some emotions for me. It definitely drew me in. The book itself is about Mandy Hope, whose parents are vets. Mandy and James discover that tigers are going missing, and they are worried as there are poachers going about. Can they track down the tigers and save them before the poachers find them? This is...

The original international track and field on the DS

Advantages: Loads of events to master, great graphics and great fun
Disadvantages: Some of the games are a bit hard to master, possibility of ruining the touch screen

...I remember playing International Track and Field back in 1999 on the original Sony Playstation. Playing this in single player mode was boring it was a game to be played with mates and we used to enjoy nothing more than going head to head across the wide range of athletics events available from the 100m sprint to the hammer throw. I remember the abuse the control pads took whilst playing this game. Frantic button bashing was required for every single event, with the 100m, 400m and swimming events giving the control pad the most abuse. Through trial and error we learnt that rather than bash the buttons separately if you put a scarf or old t-shirt over your knuckles and scrapped it across the buttons you could get your character to run faster of throw further. June 2008 saw International Track and Field launched on the Nintendo DS...

A Grief Stricken Masterpiece - Blood On The Tracks

Advantages: Every Track Provides Layers Of Emotion And Feeling
Disadvantages: None

...Before I begin the review, I will say that even though I usually give ratings to each song, in this case I will not, as every single track is worthy of five stars, which for me just shows what a truly classic album this is, as few albums can come to that level. Now I have been a long time Dylan fan, and even though this was one of the first albums of his that I bought, I still love to listen to it, it is just spectacular. It is though an emotional record, taking down Dylan's thoughts on his split from Sara and what he is left with, they were together for some years, so it hit him quite hard and dominated many of his songs for a few albums. The tracks themselves go back to a more restrained style for Dylan involving for the most part just him and his guitar (and light drums), recorded quite intimately, which helps to put across...

Index online is fast

Advantages: Fast,easy online ordering
Disadvantages: email never arrived

...I placed an order with index extra on Tuesday morning; by early afternoon they phoned me to confirm the delivery address as in their words it was a large value order. The site can be viewed at:www.indexshop.co.uk or www.www.littlewoods-index.com I found the site very easy to navigate through, with plenty of menus to guide you to the product you want. This I appreciated as it shows that they are indeed security conscious. It was also confirmed that all of the items ordered were in stock and would be delivered on Thursday. I waited in all day and around 5.00pm I thought, well it?s not going to arrive today, how wrong I was.5.30pm the doorbell rang, it was my goods from Index, the delivery driver informed me that they often delivered later in the day as a lot of people are at work during the day, how thoughtful of them. Upon...

Back Tracking Through Bruces Back Pages

Advantages: An alternative view of what Springsteen could have been
Disadvantages: A little expensive - but you get a lot

...wrangles. When he made his albums there was always a lot of material left over. He addressed this once by releasing “Lucky Town” and “Human Touch” simultaneously, but apart from that material has accumulated throughout the years that was far too good to stay unreleased. This is that material. The problem is that there are sixty six tracks, ten are alternate versions of already released material such as “Growin’ Up” , “Born in the USA” and “Pink Cadillac” but the rest is mostly undiscovered gold. The result is this lavishly presented four CD set. You can pick this up for anything between 30 GBP and 60 GBP (It's 33.99 GBP on Amazon) so shop around. There was companion single disc compilation called "18 Tracks" (11.99 GBP on Amazon) consisting of selections for people who didn...

INDEX IS CLOSING April 2005

Advantages: Easy to shop and return any goods
Disadvantages: Self assembles don't always have right parts. INDEX STORES ARE CLOSING

...I was totally shocked to see on the news that Index/Index Extra were closing all of their high street stores, selling some off to rival Argos. Index has been making huge losses for years it seems and they can 't afford to keep their shops open. This is a total heart breaker for me as I only live a few streets away from an Index Extra inside of a Littlewoods store. This is where I used to get all of my jewellery cheap for prezzies and other things as gifts. Life just won't be the same without Index shops to go and quickly get items from. No more reserving online, or reserved for pick-up and what about the staff. I feel for those who are losing their jobs. No more bustling to the catalogue stands and checking to see if the item you want is in stock. No more little pens to put in my pocket absentmidedly, (they were always handy later on...

Click Clack Down the Track

Advantages: Lovely to look at,fun for all, no batteries
Disadvantages: Trying not to lose the cars, but that's only a tiny, tiny niggle, not really worth mentioning

...The ELC Wooden Click Clack Track was a toy I bought for my best friend's 19 month old son for Christmas. Imagine my surprise then, when three weeks later on my son's first birthday we opened the exact same gift from her. As she noticed the confusion on my face she explained that it wasn't that she was giving the same gift back to us (and for those cynics among you their family do still have their own version!), it was just that they had so much fun with it they thought it was a good present for any baby. She went on to say that not only did their toddler like the toy, so did his older brothers aged five and six. Appearance What I most like about the toy is that it's made of wood and needs no batteries, unlike the whole host of flashing, beeping, talking plastic toys we seem to have. It's quite simple in design with four...
