I'm over the moon!

Advantages: Great to look at, really really easy to use
Disadvantages: Lacks the functions of similarly priced machines

...The Indesit Moon is, as far as kitchen appliances go, a thing of beauty. Whilst I know deep down that it is very very wrong to like a washing machine this much, darn it, I just can't help myself! I'm going to be straight with you - housework isn't my thing. By any stretch of the imagination! So when my boyfriend and I decided to finally get our own place, a washing machine was not top of my list of purchases...that it until I fell in love in the middle of Comet...well, maybe love is a bit strong...but the Moon certainly it eye-catching. Simple and sleek, with a solid contrasting door (mine is silver with a blue door - lovely stuff!) and a light up control panel, it just looks strikingly different to run of the mill washers. Most washing machines look boring, or sturdy, or economical. This just looks?nice. The moon isn't just...

Review of Indesit MOON SIXL145

Atmosphere on the moon.

Advantages: Intelligent science fiction.
Disadvantages: Slow moving.

...with most symbiotic man-machine relationships in science fiction the computer comes across as thoroughly sympathetic and friendly but also slightly untrustworthy and a little too good to be true. His surroundings are the grubby rooms of his living quarters. His food comes in small, square packets which simply need heating. Convenience and boredom abound. There is a communications glitch with the Earth-Moon communications which has dragged on for much of Sam's shift. This means his conversations with his wife and child are recorded to disc and played back to him. Never mind - his shift is about to end. Right? Wrong. Sam's routine, beginning with his Chesney Hawk's "I Am the One and Only" alarm call, is beginning to fall apart. He's feeling increasingly agitated..he seems to losing his grasp on reality. Is this because of the isolation? His...

  The Apple Of My i

Advantages: Full Internet, Massive storage, Great design, Superb battery life.
Disadvantages: The Megapixel of the camera is put to shame by other phones available.

...I had been waiting for this day for some time. My 18 month contract with T-Mobile is coming up for renewal next week, however having had problems gaining reception in my area I'd opted to look elsewhere for a new contract. A few weeks back my problems were solved when I was shopping around to try and find the best mobile contract, and discovered that O2 would be stocking the Apple iPhone as of November the 9th. Not only was I looking for a new mobile contract, but also a replacement MP3 player so the Apple iPhone seemed ideal. I made plans to purchase the iPhone and on the evening of release made my way down to the nearest O2 store upon finishing work, bagging myself my very own iPhone at a price of £269. Although the price did seem a little steep, especially considering that I would be paying out a further £35 a month for the contract...

The Indesit SIXL145S: Once in a Blue Moon

Advantages: Great machine!
Disadvantages: If used improperly may leave you're kitchen floor covered in detergent

...When the old family washing machine finally packed up after a good 9 year run (R.I.P) it was time to time to turn our attention towards getting a new machine to live up to the old one's speeds, reliability and general performance. It was quite a few months ago now that we were flicking through an old Argos catalogue looking for a new machine. The criteria that had to be met were: 1) High speeds for those stubborn stains 2) A good energy rating, so I feel like i'm doing my bit. 3) A good price We finally decided on the Indesit SIXL 145S because it pretty much met all the above criteria though we did have to get over the opaque door which although seeming very small it was a weird notion not to be able to see the washing at all until the cycle finished. As previously stated we bought it from the Argos catalogue which is...

Review of Indesit MOON SIXL145

"Fly Me to the Moon"

Advantages: Old fashioned 'B' movie
Disadvantages: Very Dated

...and their bosses on board by showing them a by now famous or should that be infamous ?Woody Woodpecker cartoon?. It explained is very simplistic terms take off, space, the Moon, and Gravity. The big wigs all get on board, only financially that is and Destination Moon is good to go. I will not give you the rest of the movie lest to say there are the usual explosions, double crosses, a love interest and not so good special effects. Well it was 1950. The science in the film is awfully dated and quite quirky and innocent looking. The plot is fairly decent but the dialogue at times is awful and corny. It was I believe nominated for an ?Oscar? for its special effects, blimey they must have been desperate in those days. It really is a ?B? movie but enjoyable none the less, catch it if it comes on the TV but otherwise don?t go out of your way...

Review of Destination Moon (DVD)

BeneFit Moon Beam is so versatile I love it

Advantages: versatile, lasts long,
Disadvantages: takes a little while to master the art!

...Twins, Jean & Jane Ford have been designing fun, fresh benefit products since 1976. Their mission was to create quick fixes that would reduce every girl?s frequent makeup dilemmas (Thank-you!!!). Since 1976 there are now over 1000 Benefit counters and their products are available in more than 25 countries.

BeneFit Moon Beam is so versatile I love it!! This is a highlighter with a lovely golden/pink glow. It is so fantastic that I have all my friends using it! It's not the cheapest of products but it's well worth the investment I use mine often and I have had it for over 2 years! It takes a little bit of practise to get used too but can be used so many ways: Use it...

Review of BeneFit Moon Beam

The Almost Moon

Advantages: Unusual, excellent writing skills
Disadvantages: Sometimes can get a bit annoying

...I wasn't really expecting much with this book, as honestly the only reason I picked it up was because I was looking for another of Sebold's book at the library. They didn't have it, but they did have The Almost Moon, and as I hadn't read it before I thought I'd give it a go. The plot is based around the character of Helen, and her mother Clair. On the very first page Helen kills her mother, and the rest of the novel is based around the aftermath of this and the story of her life leading up to the moment of Clair's murder. It looks at what Helen's life was like with Clair, the relationships she has with her daughters which she feels have been strained because of her mother, her ex husband, and her father. The book is extremely interesting to follow. For starters, the subject is completely unusual and therefore interesting, I...

Review of The Almost Moon - Alice Sebold

Moon - a thoughtful sci-fi

Advantages: Visually stunning, superb central performance, clever plot
Disadvantages: Weak ending, confusing in parts

...WARNING: I am going to try my best not to give too many plot points away as there is a twist in this film which I don't want to spoil for viewers. I apologise if I inadvertently give something away - please leave a comment if I do so and I will remove the information immediately! WHAT IS IT: Moon is the directorial debut from Duncan Jones (David Bowie's son!) and stars Sam Rockwell as Sam Bell. Sam is the sole human inhabitant of a lunar base and he is charged with overseeing the machines which harvest Helium3 to send back to Earth. His only company is a robot named GERTY - voiced by Kevin Spacey - whose purpose is to help Sam in any way it can. As Sam is nearing the end of his 3 year contract on the moon base, he begins to see unsettling visions and one of these visions leads him to crash a lunar buggy into one of the harvesters...

Review of Moon (DVD)

The changing face of the Moon...

Advantages: The best version yet
Disadvantages: None

...Leslie cone on Wright's Hammond organ, a trick borrowed from Eric Clapton. Throughout this album Wright Hammond playing is superb along with his playing of Wurlitzer electric piano, acoustic piano and backing vocals, some of the style used by him come from the jazz masterpiece by Miles Davis called "Kind of Blue". (Another personal favourite of mine) Nick Mason the drummer in the band was strong on all the extraneous noises and is supposed to have retuned his Roto-Toms for every key change on "Time". The voice parts of the album the most famous being "I don't know I was really drunk at the time" and "I've always been mad" come parts recorded by Waters the first voice is wings guitarist "Henry McCullough" and the second is the doorman at Abbey Road studios called Jerry Driscoll. Clare Torry's screams on "Great Gig in the sky" were done in...

Review of Dark Side Of The Moon - Pink Floyd

Unleash the lustre of the moon!

Advantages: Look like a celebrity every day...lasts a long time, subtle, striking, lightweight, too many!
Disadvantages: Initial price *seems* expensive

...My sister has owned BeneFit?s High Beam for a while now and although she said how good she thought it was I never thought it looked quite so good on my skin as it is slightly darker. A few months back they had 3 for the price of 2 on BeneFit products in Boots so as the Moon Beam is the equivalent product to High Beam but for olive/darker skins I it?d be worth a try. MOON BEAM If you know BeneFit you will have come to expect of a rather strange name and even stranger packaging ? Moon Beam obeys that rule. The outer cardboard box offers no surprises but when you open it you?d be forgiven for thinking you?d picked up the wrong product. Nail varnish? Or at least that?s what it looks like. It comes in a small cylindrical bottle with a lid in the same style ? ie. the brush is attached and that?s what you use for application...
