MCS-700 Strobe for the BT VP1000 home alarm

Advantages: Gives you the external Strobe \ siren to compliment your BT VP1000
Disadvantages: Requires power supply so not totaly wireless

...If you want to add a strobe siren to your BT VP1000, you will need this wireless siren. I added the MCS-700 to mine and was very simple, and all my friends have followed suit. I Got mine from www.bpcsystems.co.uk, seems to have more bits for use with the BT VP1000 than other places I have tried, and their prices are quite good. The only negative point is that it comes supplied with a 2 pin plug and not a 13amp plug. Not a big deal I know, you can simply put one on, but why should you have to ? Another point is the Siren "squawks" 1 squawk when arming 2 squawks when disarming. I have left mine switched on, but I know a couple have had this switched off, but this can only be done by the supplier. They have to call the alarm box by modem and remotely program it on or off, you can not do it from the panel. The siren was...

Mini 10

Advantages: Quite a lot
Disadvantages: Hard to adjust to

...I have just been bought the dell mini 10 which is a compact web book. Now, until now I did not know a great deal to do with web books so my first thought was that it was cute and I was genuinely excited to get using it, however I noted that this product has not been reviewed so I did some research and had a look through some of what this dell has to offer and though I would offer a review on the item. Design Firstly I want to comment on the design of this dinky thing, the lid of mine is piano black and glossy which obviously is one of those things which you think, should I take the film off? I have left my film on as I am prone to eating whilst browsing and therefore I do not want my mini 10 to be covered in my prints within the first uses! Whilst browsing this computer, I noted that it came in other colours, green, pink...

Review of Dell Inspiron Mini 10 Laptop

I love MINI adventures

Advantages: cute, good to drive
Disadvantages: small, uneconomical

...I have had my car for 2 and a half years and I really like it but it is not without its downsides. I really don't know too much about cars so this will be a frank account of my experiences, but it probably won't be too technical. I really like my MINI. He is cute and called COCO (not after chanel!) and is red with a white union jack roof and white bonnet stripes. He looks good, he drives well, he is reliable and he makes me feel safe on the road. It has a 1.6 litre engine and this makes it relatively powerful and it can reach high speeds when necessary. The handling is realy good in my opinion, it just goes round corners as if it is on rails and the steering is amazingly responsive and quick. On the bad side, he isnt too cheap to insure (£600ish for the year) and is not very good on petrol, servicing and parts are very expensive...

Review of MINI One

Mini One a fun car to drive

Advantages: Solid, fun to drive high quality small car
Disadvantages: Heavy on fuel, not alot of leg room in the back

...We bought a Mini One in 2005 for my wife as a second car. We bought it on the lease purchase scheme that they ran at the time. It works by paying a deposit, we paid £2500 then for 3 years it was £199 a month with a final payment of about £5000 after the 3 years or you can trade it in for a new one and continue the monthly payments. We paid the final installement. Anyway enough about the boring finance, whats the car actually like? Its great it feels really solid and very high quality in all the finishes in the car. The doors, paintwork, buttons, steering wheel, gearstick and all the bobbles on it just feel like they are really good quality. We had to pay extra for a black roof £500 and the rest of the car is off white, it looks really good. If you buy the Cooper the black roof is included in the price. You feel really safe in this...

Review of MINI One

bmw mini one

Advantages: to many to state.
Disadvantages: heavy steering

...bmw mini one was the first car i ever brought and to be honest i wish i started with something a little cheaper then maybe changed car a few time to experience how other cars drive and then gone to a mini. only because i now know my next car WILL be another mini. One of the best features is the run on flats. when your tyre pressure goes below what it should be, the car shows you a flat tyre sign and a beebing sound, so you know that there is something wrong. The only thing i think could be improved is the steering i find it a bit heavy compared to other cars but would not hold that against the car. Handle brillianly at a round about!!! The bmw mini, well all mini's are stunning looking car.i love evey minute driving my mini. in my opinion this is the best car ever made....

Mini Eggs :)

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...Caburys Mini Eggs are one of my favourite easter treats and luckily this year they have hit the shops extra early. These sweets are produced by Cadburys so have lovely Cadburys chocolate in them. They are egg shaped milk chocolate pieces in a crisp sugar shell and come on different colours including pink, white, yellow, purple and brown. Each sweet has a speckled brown effect to make them look even more egg like. Mini Eggs may contain traces of nuts, eggs or soya for those of you that have heath conditions or allergies. The nutritional information is as follows: Per 100g- Calories 455 Protein 4.6g Carbohydrate 64.7g (of which sugars) 63.1g Fat 20g There are 100g in an average bag of Mini Eggs. As you can see there is a large amount of sugar, calories and fat in a bag of Mini Eggs, so you may only want them...

Review of Cadbury Mini Eggs

Mini Meringue Mess

Advantages: Erm; they look nice
Disadvantages: Taste horrid

...Obviously over Christmas we stocked up on lots of nibbling goodies and the best place to go was definitely Iceland with it's huge range of party starters, mains and puddings. I had already been major impressed with the 50 piece sweet American Platter dessert (see my review) and seeing as I love lemon meringue pie; 12 mini Lemon meringues for just £2 looked ideal. The little meringues are found in the frozen departments at Iceland under the party selection of puds and desserts and obviously need to be defrosted before eating which only takes a bout 30mins to an hr so they really are ideal for parties. When I got in from work, my mum had made xmas dinner and they were sitting on the table in front of us. They look really attractive with a piped white meringue topping of the crunchy gooey kind (not my favourite I have to say. I like...

Review of Iceland 12 mini Lemon Meringues

Mini pleasures!

Advantages: Cheap, tastey etc
Disadvantages: Nutrition or lack of.

...I love birthdays! Espescially when it's mine. I love the presents, the party, the family gathering, the atmosphere, and I also adore the food supplied! I remember when I was little, and we used to have big family parties. I used to love going shopping with my mum to chose all the party food; mini sausage rolls, cocktail sausages, pizza bites, party rings, fairy cakes, and all things nice! Parties at my house have never really changed to be honest, the dining room table is still overflowing full with delicious looking edibles! The day before my brothers birthday this year, we went shopping to Asda to purchase the delights we would be tucking into the following night. Into the trolley flew mulitpacks of crisps, sweets, savoury snacks and so on. We were just about to go and pay for the food when at the end of an aisle something...

Mini Maglite

Advantages: Light in the palm of your hand, compact rugged and great quality.
Disadvantages: Base cap might be fidly for some people to remove.

..."Maglite" do it again, it?s a world known manufacturer for its torches that bring light when and where we need it! So much so that these are no standard with law enforcement and many other profession. This is the "MINI Maglite" which requires 2x AA batteries.

Big Taste, Mini Waist?

Advantages: Wholegrain rye, great full flavour, very crunchy, low in fat & high in fibre
Disadvantages: A tad pricey & only sold as singles

...Who would have thought that what looks like a packet of crips could be light, healthy and tasty too? I came across these in Tesco a little while back, around the time the adverts (you know the ones, with Fern saying "big taste, mini waist") were quite popular. They're now available in 6 different flavours: - Sweet Chilli - Mature Cheese & Onion - Cream Cheese & Chive - Worcester Sauce - Salt & Vinegar - Thai I'll be basing my review on the Sweet Chilli variety. At 48p, they're a little expencive for what is a lightweight packet of rye squares, but single bags of crisps can cost almost as much. Supermarkets often have offers on these though so keep your eyes peeling. At the moment (23 Sept '08) they're on sale in Tesco 5 for £2. Ryvita do a range of other snacks and I've tried their plain rye bread before and found...
