dyson dc24 not as good as i would have thought

Advantages: small, good for small spaces, easy to store
Disadvantages: suction not up to par

...I purchased this dyson having owned a dyson for many years, and then my new puppy decided to chew any chewable parts that it had, so opted to buy a new one. Now initially my mum had went and bought me a miele hoover, which was not an upright or bagless but the suction is apparantly superior, but i prefer an upright and when i tried to vacuum my rugs with the miele, i decided an upright would be the less physically demanding cleaner for me, which is always important to a busy mum and housewife. I searched the net and found one on cdiscount for £179.99 which was on offer at the time, so i went ahead and bought it and looked forward to receiving it. I chose this one instead of the dc24 as i have a lot of stairs in my house and the smaller size appealled to me as not being as heavy as a larger one, would be easier to take around...

Infocus Lite Pro 425 Projector

Advantages: Reliable, good picture quality, easy to use
Disadvantages: Starting to show its age!

...The Infocus Lite Pro 425 is a LCD projector designed to display computer images onto a screen or wall. Its compact size shows that it has been built with portability in mind. This projector was purchased about 3 years ago by the company I work for. The projector cost about £1400 and at the time and it was a pretty high specification machine. The projector can display a maximum computer resolution of 800x600 and this is in 24bit colour. Although this is still acceptable, the resolution is perhaps a little low by today?s standards. For those who are unsure of what an LCD projector does, here?s a brief explanation of what we use it for. The LCD projector is designed to be used with a laptop or desktop computer and is best used to display images onto a white screen. If you are familiar with overhead projectors, (like the ones most...

Review of InFocus LP 425

Previously on 24

Advantages: One of the best seasons of the series. be prepared to be shocked
Disadvantages: Other priorities in life with become secondary while watching

...Season 5 of the award winning series 24, was first aired back in 2006 and was mostly known for its shocking and explosive first episode. When mini trailers of hour 1 went around sky, i tried to switch over every time but to no avail, i caught something and i was hooked in. Normally id prefer to watch the episodes on dvd so i can watch as many as i like but my girlfriend at the time had sky plus so she recorded the whole series. After getting through 9 hours of it we broke up, not anything to do with 24 don' worry, therefore i had seen nearly half of the series and then had to wait for the dvd release to continue watching. Only once have i done this, never again. Wait for the dvd, its worth it. Anyway, this season is one of my favourites as it doesnt hold back on the storylines and shock factor plus provides probably the best ending so...

24: Redemption

Advantages: Jack Bauer
Disadvantages: Not much action

...Before I start this review I just need to get one thing off my chest, Jack Bauer is my hero! I've watched every series of 24 so far and have loved each one (some more than others) so when I heard that there was going to be a 'film' I couldn't be more excited. 24 : Redemption is a bridge between the events of series six and series seven. The producers/writers felt that this was necessary to fill the huge gap between series due to the recent writers strike. 24 is normally set out in one hour episodes which are shown in 'real time', that is, one hour long episode represents one hour of the shows storyline. Its an interesting concept that really does work very well. I met the news of 24 : Redemption with interest, excitement, intrigue but also apprehension. How well would this idea work as a 'film'? The whole nature of the show would need...

Review of 24 - Redemption (DVD)

24 - Season One

Advantages: Great acting, exciting, good effects
Disadvantages: Not really 24 hours! Slower paced than newer seasons

...I'd somehow managed to completely avoid watching a single episode of 24 right up to the current season (7). I'd seen the adverts but it was completely not my thing. I hate movies like that, and I hate TV shows along the same lines even more. For some reason I decided to give season 7 a go as so many people were looking forward to it coming back on - and, much to my annoyance, I got completely hooked and ended up buying all the boxsets so I could catch up. I ended up watching the entire set of season one in two days. It is completely, ridiculously, compulsive. About half way through every episode I would be fed up with having not moved in so long and would want to go and do something else, but then by the end of the episode my thoughts would change to, "Well...one more won't hurt." So, what's different about 24 from other...

Johnson's 24 Hour Body Wash.

Advantages: A good quality body wash from Johnsons.
Disadvantages: Lacks fragrance

...of the bottle do go a long way but without sounding cynical I am sure that the manufacturers have realised that we are willing to pay that little extra bit extra if our skin will benefit. Johnson's have to be one of the most respected names, they have produced first class skin care products for all ages for years. Speak to any young Mum and I am sure that they will have used something from the Johnson's range. The Johnson's baby powder has an unforgettable smell and I use it regularly. The Johnson's 24 hour moisture extra rich body wash ( what a long title!) comes in at an average price, I paid £2.99 for a 400 ml bottle. The plastic flip top bottle is undeniably Johnson's, the lily white plastic with the soft pastel pink top and the makers name written across the bottle in that familiar navy blue font. More often than not shower wash...

Review of Johnson's 24-hour Moisture Body Wash

Another brilliant instalment in the 24 franchise

Advantages: Some shocking plot twists and turns
Disadvantages: Doesnt quite hit the heights of previous seasons

...Another day with Jack means another rollercoaster ride, ups and downs (same thing!), tension, edge of your seat stuff and from what we have learnt over the 6 years, story 6 years, of Jack that people close to him generally tend to either end up dead or in a considerably worse position than they were when they met him. The loyalty for his country that this man shows, is beyond that of a normal american and in my opinion borders on insanity but what a legend and what another good series this is. I felt that this season fell slightly short of the previous one, it would be difficult to match the standard the creators set themselves but i still give it 5 stars. Maybe it took viewers a while to get used to the new characters and Jack not working at CTU anymore but you know what to expect from a 24 series, although this one for me missed...

BBC News 24 - the same thing, 24/7!

Advantages: See text.
Disadvantages: See text.

...I would just like to write a review on BBC News 24, the news programme from BBC found on cable channels (not currently found on Virgin Media for now) that currently runs 24 hours a day 7 days a week and brings you all of the latest news - or does it? In my opinion, BBC News tends to show exactly the same news stories from exactly the same viewpoints over and over until a new development happens within that story or something else happens elsewhere. From my own point of view, I would just like to see them looking at the points of view not only of those who have possibly been directly involved (such as those who are currently serving in the wars if they are able to or a member of their own regiment/ family etc back home), or another individual who has nothing to do with that particular situation directly (for example Joe Bloggs from...
