Laver and Wood - Private Bin

Advantages: Ping is as good as they get. Very durable.
Disadvantages: This must be a trick question.

...`pretty decent`). Finally, after extensive research on the internet, I decided to buy a Private Bin. When I say extensive research I mean extensive!! Not just reading that some mumbo jumbo bought a `such and such` bat and was very pleased etc etc. I read forums, reviews, credibility of bat makers, their experience, who uses their bats and so on. The specs I gave Mr. Laver were as such : Weight : 3 lbs Standard Blade Short Handle Double Grip Normal and High Sweet Spot I asked Mr. Laver to have the bat fully knocked in and oiled. I did ask Mr. Laver whether the `fully knocked` in option really meant that it would be knocked in and ready to use immediately since you get stickers saying `ready to play` on many of the bats today. He said it would be ready to play straight away. I received the bat shortly after (I opted...

Review of Laver & Wood Private Bin

A Rolls Royce amongst cricket bats

Advantages: made to your specifications
Disadvantages: price tag

...Laver & Wood are a relatively new entrant in to the cricket bat market, having only been in existence for a very short while. I happen to have been a very lucky winner ? a web ad on the Cricket Club website for the club I play for in Austria, meant that I was the first person in Austria to have one of these beautiful bats. A lot of the information within this opinion is worth bearing in mind if you are looking for a cricket bat in general ? not just one of these beauties. The name ?Private Bin? will be more familiar to oenologists than cricketers. Laver and Wood are based in the wine growing region of New Zealand and the best wines are always kept in the ?Private Bin? and similarly the best willow is used to make these bats ? all blades having a minimum of 7 straight grains (your average club bat will only have about 4-5 at most...

Sampras v Laver

Advantages: Range of shots
Disadvantages: clay courts

...Now that Pete Sampras has won more Grand Slam singles titles than any other man does that justify him being called the greatest male player of all time? Certainly in the modern era that must be true. With the exception of clay, he can prove that he can win on just about any surface. He has all the shots necessary to continue winning for a number of years to come. However, unless he can win the French Open on the red clay of Paris there must be an argument for saying that Rod Laver is the greatest male player ever. Before tennis went professional he won all four majors in the same year. This was only the second Grand Slam by a man in history. He promptly turned professional himself and could not enter another major for around six years until the advent of Open tennis. When this came he promptly won the Grand Slam again - a fantastic...

Minty and Refreshing

Advantages: Gets rid of dead skin
Disadvantages: None

...Avon Footwork’s is one of Avon’s finest ranges; gel scrub with beads is the latest product out. I really rate these products because they are nice to use but really work and show results after a few uses. It comes in an squeezie tube, which is clear with a blue top and has the Avon Footwork’s logo on it, which is blue with an outline of a foot on it. The gel is pale green with visible dark green beads. It’s quite runny so be wary when squeezing the tube. It has a pleasant minty fragrance, which is quite refreshing. When you apply it to your feet and add a little water it works up into a laver and this is when you keep massaging your foot so the beads exfoliate the dead skin. It’s very gentle and pleasant to use and leave’s your feet clean and soft and smelling great. I would recommend...

Review of Avon Footworks Gel Scrub with Beads

Its Ideal!!

Advantages: Entertainment and shopping in one!
Disadvantages: none unless you dont like shopping!

...Ok I do work for this satellite shopping channel! But my opinions are totally unbiased, I work in the call centre, dealing with customer services and hotline orders. Ideal World are the big breakfast type show of home shopping channels. They are not trying to be another QVC or Shop, although they have 3 of QVC's presentors, Steve Watley, Paul Lavers, Debbie Flint. This is a fun channel, they try to make it entertaining, as well as trying to sell you the products, they even offer a 90 money back guarantee on their items if you are not happy. Still in its infancy only launching on 18th April of this year, the show has done very well. A few teething problems occured, but it is settling down to be a fun and different way of shopping. The basic layout is much the same as QVC, and yes some of the products are the same, and of course...

Sun kissed hair

Advantages: I think my hair is lighter
Disadvantages: ?

...shiny golden colour, smelt nice not over flowery just a pleasant clean smell. I lathered it into my long mid brown locks. It gave a good lathering and felt nice and creamy. I then washed my body before I rinsed it out under the shower. I did not get any in my eyes but if you should just rinse it out with warm water. Right out of the shower and dried. I combed quickly through my hair to get any tangles out and let my hair dry naturally, I prefer to do this. When my hair was dry I brushed it. My hair felt good no tangles felt soft. But was my hair golden? Well I think it was maybe a little lighter it certainly was shiny. , So will I use it again, yes I think I will, I have read that continuous use help build up the golden highlights in your hair shall have to buy a bottle this time. Timotie is produces by Laver Faberge. This shampoo is...

Food for free?

Advantages: Informative
Disadvantages: None really

...in the oven until brittle and them grind them and use as coffee, they are almost indistinguishable from the real thing. But what about the caffeine? The section on seaweed looks interesting and also provides the reader with cooking hints. Its all very well gathering seaweed but cooking it is another matter. It mentions that the best time to gather seaweed in May and June. Varieties discussed include sea lettuce, dabberlocks, kelp, bladder wrack, laver, dulse and carragheen. The last three seem interesting and possible. Laver is considered a great delicacy in South-West Wales and is also cultivated in Japan. Laver is used in Britain as a sauce for mutton and laverbread. The book explains how laverbread is made and ends up as a puree. Pepper dulse has been used in Iceland as a substitute for chewing tobacco. Carragheen is...

Wonderful clean hair

Advantages: Clean hair
Disadvantages: Packaging doesn't travel too well

...This shampoo is an ideal hangover cure for your hair! The morning after the night before most of us end up with greasy hair that smells of cigarettes and other suspiciuos scents that remind us how much of an heavy night we had. When I have one of those mornings I just want to be clean! Well Toni & Guy are here to help.Say goodbye to unhealthy looking grease and flakes, the grunge look is soooo over! This shampoo gets your hair wondefully clean and even gives shine. It smells very fresh and the smell actually lasts after your hair has dried. It doesn't have a strong over powering 'girlie' scent but more of a unisex fragrance, so the fellas can use it too.It lavers up really well and the soap suds feel really thick. You only need a blob the size of a 10 pence coin for medium lenghth hair. Using this product can feel like you...

Review of Tommy Hilfiger Detox-It Shampoo

Superb

Advantages: Great Ping
Disadvantages: Large pricetag

...'t get the ball far, but it doesn't 'hurt' the hands as much as some others, and it's the toe, after all! The performance has continued all through this season, I have been getting full value for my shots, which I need when I'm as slight as I am! Summary: Service was, as always great - I highly recommend a trip to Hove to anyone wanting a new bat at a fair price, or just quality equipment. As I have said, I have really pleased with the performance, especially considering the price, and I will be purchasing another Newbery over the coming months, not a Fusion, Laver etc., because the 'custom' bats I have had my hands on have been nothing special in comparison....
