KEF IQ9 Speakers

Advantages: Excellent sound quality at all frequencies, well built and good looking
Disadvantages: Would be imposing in a small room

...Bought my KEF IQ9s a year ago to replace my ageing Mission bookshelf speakers, and am still loving them. They are driven by my Mission Cyrus 2 Amp and are used to play a wide range of music mostly rock and pop both from CD and records . Having tested the IQ range these were undoubtedly the best from bass through mid range to treble, and for sound quality, performing well at low, as well as higher, volumes. I could have saved £150 and bought the next model down but I knowI would have regretted it. They are handsome and stylish floor standing speakers, all of the KEF IQ range are available in a range of three different veneers to suit your style. Apart from extracting them from the packaging (I had to crawl into the box to get them out), they were easy to set up and have been totaly reliable since purchase. A year on - not a single...

Review of KEF IQ9

Mini IQ

Advantages: review removed
Disadvantages: review removed

...do all the work selling the books and recruiting more nice people. In my opinion. Post Aug 2008, a lot of penny pinching from the company's greatest asset (it's people) started to be, I think, the beginnng of the company's downfall. Paying for the cheapest delivery company that damage the goods or just don't deliver at all, is false economy and did nothing but insult the loyalty of the associates.. Most of the books can be bought elsewhere cheaper - it's called google and when things went out of stock with Mini IQ I always chose to purchase from Amazon or elsewhere in order to maintain good service to my customers and not let them down after Mini IQ's warehouse went out of stock. This was not something I was taught it was something I did to keep customers happy. I even made a profit as the prices on amazon were often lower than...

Review of Mini-IQ - Fun, Educational Children

Basic IQ Test Book for Novices.

Advantages: Short and Sweet. Functionable.
Disadvantages: Has the same tests, similar to other better books on the market.

...This book is quite concise - it needs to be, many like me are not interested in anything else except for the tests that assess your IQ. I own several many IQ books so it was only natural for me to compare it with the others. This book is quite suitable for the novice, those who are testing their IQ for fun, however, those who have been through numerous books (e.g. those who are a little obsessed with confirming their high intelligence....) - this may be a little under-challenging as it contains many of the more common IQ tests and questions that appear in a lot of other books. The score and marking is relatively straight forward to understand, and follows many of the other IQ books. There are brief discussions on the issue of intelligence, however, this is mainly a 'test' book. For those who are looking for something more...

Review of Test Your IQ - Eamonn Butler

Wasting time with District 9

Advantages: Good action sequences, interesting moral ideas.
Disadvantages: Terrible (and I mean terrible) acting, disjointed.

...When an alien race finds itself marooned on earth they are fortunate that a caring humanity give them refuge and their own land in South Africa known as District 9. Years on however, these prawn-like creatures are seen as a resource eating nuisance and live in slum conditions. The subject of abuse from a corrupt government and Nigerian gangs they are about to be relocated to the even worse District 10. Fortunately, they may well have found themselves an unwitting ally in government stooge Wilkus who finds himself exposed to a DNA altering gas. As he becomes more alien by the day will he become their Saviour? I don't really get District 9. It seems to have gone down well with almost all film audiences and critics but I feel like I must be missing something. I think maybe a lot of it is because it has strong apartheid references...

Review of District 9

K...9!

Advantages: looks good
Disadvantages: can be pricey in the long run.

...Doctor Who is a popular sci-fi family show which has been on and off our screens for many years now. It is an amazing show about a man named the Doctor. He is a Time Lord who travels around in his big blue box known as the Tardis, rescuing and saving those who are in danger from the evil creatures of the universe. He sometimes travels alone but usually he is accompanied by a female companion. Our current Doctor is the gorgeous David Tennant! This Doctor had travelled with a woman in the past named Sarah Jane (Elisabeth Sladen). He was reacquainted with her in series 2: School Reunion back in 2006, when we saw her again, complete with k9. K9 was a dog the doctor had made (his master) out of tin for Sarah Jane, providing a faithful companion for her. He is such a cute little dog, all small and silver, none other is quite as adorable...

K-9 DVD

Advantages: Good film, storyline an enjoyable movie
Disadvantages: not suitable for under 12s

...K-9 DVD I personally own this DVD being a dog fan I love it, any dog lover especially those that are particular fans of German Shepard Dogs (Alsatian) should love it too. I have seen both this one and sequel to this K-9 11 and I have found this one to be better by far. This film is produced by Universal, directed by Rod Daniel and written by Steven Seigel and Scott Myers. This film was first produced in October 1989 The Cast The main actors within the film *James Belushi, plays Dooley a cop working to solve drug crime but not succeeding very well on his own. *Mel Harris, plays Tracey she is Dooley's girlfriend who gets left with little attention whilst her partner spends all his time and commitment fighting crime Koton, plays Jerry-Lee a German Shepard Dog trained in police work who soon becomes Dooley's partner...

Review of K-9 (DVD)

House of 9

Advantages: A classic theme
Disadvantages: Terrible script, terrible acting and a disappointing ending

...Buying a film featuring Kelly Brook was always going to be risky but I still couldn?t quite stop myself from putting House of 9 in my Amazon basket ? maybe Dennis Hopper would make up for it? The idea behind this film is similar to that of Saw 2 and based on the classic ?And Then There Were None? theme of several people being forced together only for their number to be reduced until there is only 1 (or possibly 2 or even none) person still standing. In House of 9, 9 strangers are abducted from their everyday life only to be imprisoned together in a completely sealed house furnished with cameras and hidden microphones. They wake up unable to understand what has happened to them until a disembodied voice informs them that they have been put here as part of a game. The winner of the game will receive 5 million dollars but...

Review of House Of 9 (DVD)

Listen to my 18 months experience with Mini IQ

Advantages: none I can think of
Disadvantages: The whole scheme

...an associate for Mini IQ for 18 months from the early days to quite recently. I am no longer affiliated with Mini IQ and have no particular interest in either promoting or criticising the company any more. This review is my honest appraisal of the company in view of my extensive experience. The review is written from the point of view of Mini IQ as a supplier to independent, self-employed associates. It may not be so relevant to end-customers. I joined Mini IQ in 2005 after the birth of my first child. Before I left work to have my child I was a senior ales representative for a large consultancy company. I am a trained Neuro-Linguistic Programming consultant, have graduated with a degree in Business and Marketing at the London School of Economics and have 9 years experience in corporate sales. I figured that Mini IQ was simply another selling job...

NBA 2K9

Advantages: Deep association mode, great gameplay and graphics
Disadvantages: 2K10 is released soon, commentary is not great.

...draft or trade deadline. Trading players in this game is also a lot of fun. It is also pretty realistic in that you really have to pick your timing of trades or who and where you want to trade to. The success of your proposed trades also depends greatly on your financial situation and the financial situation of the other team. A good addition to the trading mechanism is that you can complete 3 team trades, which is essentially adding another team to the trade. So you could send one player to one team, yet receive a player from a different team. The association mode is definitely the main reason to buy this game in my opinion. I think this because I am a die hard fan of basketball and love the realism that NBA 2K9 brings to basketball video games. Unlike it's rival, NBA Live, 2K9 is designed for realism and strategy and it really does deliver...

Skoda Fabia 1.9tdi estate

Advantages: Price, economical, comfortable, fast acceleration, vast storage space
Disadvantages: None

...I bought my first Skoda 5 years ago when I retired from my full time occupation. I had intended to buy a decent second hand model but on visiting the dealer, I was so impressed with the estate version of the 1.9tdi Fabia, that I took the plunge. Having since had 100% reliability, economical fuel consumption , the added bonus of quick off the mark acceleration for an exceptionally value for money price, I am glad I took the plunge as I have not regretted my choice of car. Capacious boot space that takes all my golf clubs, trolley and more without having to lower the rear seats is also something to appreciate. I traded that in 3 years ago for the same model but with added extras such as cd player, air con, alloy wheels at what appeared to be very little price difference from the first one I bought. The ability to gain quick...
