Any Old Iron?

Advantages: It's great fun and has solide direction, writing and performances.
Disadvantages: The peripheral characters are unremarkable.

...Billionaire industrialist Tony Stark has made his fortune creating evermore innovative weapons. But when he is captured by insurgents while showcasing his latest invention, he is ordered to build a devastating weapon for his captors. Instead he constructs a high-tech suit of armour that he uses to escape. Returning home he decides to devote his money and ingenuity to help mankind. He modifies the suit, increasing its powers to include super-strength and the ability to fly and superhero Iron Man is born? Actor-turned-director Jon Favreau takes a step up from his kids films ("Elf" and "Zathura") for this thoroughly enjoyable superhero romp that never takes itself too seriously. His visuals are glossy and the effects, of which there are many, are suitably impressive. He understands cinema as spectacle and makes the most of his big budget...

THE REAL IRON BREW

Advantages: Effects are quick to work
Disadvantages: tastes awful

...It's often the case isn't it, it's only when you are at your lowest and at the stage of physically dropping that you seek any nutritional help. This was certainly the scenario I experienced, whilst three months pregnant I felt as if I literally could not clamber out of bed in the morning, absolutely zero energy and in fact felt like "a shadow" instead of a physical being ... Rewind back to when I first started feeling like this, and I ventured to my GP to see what they could offer me. In the past I have had trouble with anaemia and so fully expected to be prescibed some form of iron. So, I was rather surprised when I left the surgery with no sign of a prescription whatsover. The advice given was along the lines of "feeling like this is a normal occurence during pregnancy, just one of those things .." This point of view infuriates...

Iron Man

Advantages: Good story, fun characters
Disadvantages: None

...For anyone who reads comics you will know that Iron Man is a Marvel creation. I didn't, my comic knowledge goes about as far as Spiderman and Superman so I was unaware that Iron Man was taken from this genre. The Iron Man Movie was released in 2008. It is a superhero film and is in very much the same ilk as Spiderman and Superman, good triumphing over evil, the dastardly baddie, the epic battle (pow, kerpow, take that@!!***< etc). Iron Man's alter ego is Tony Stark, a billionaire industrialist who has made his money in the company firm, Stark Industries, selling weapons. He is your stereotypical player, smooth, suave and loves his toys and gadgets. During a business trip to Afghanistan to showcase his latest weapons he is kidnapped and held in captivity. He is also wounded by one of his own company's bombs, which knocks him...

Iron out your problems

Advantages: High quality herbal and fruit supplement
Disadvantages: Short storage life once opened

...Following a recent bout of flu my mother-in-law recommended that I bought a bottle of Floradix to help combat the extreme tiredness that I was feeling. Every movement was an effort and I was feeling as though I had done ten rounds with a heavyweight boxer! I had lost all my appetite and as a consequence had survived on very little sustenance no wonder my body was complaining. I found that it helped me ?get back on my feet? again and was a very useful aid to my recovery. What is it? Floradix is a food supplement which supplies the goodness needed by the body to sustain fitness and health. It is bought in liquid form. It is made from numerous herbs, fruits, vitamins, yeast, ocean kelp and organic iron. Vitamins C, B6, B12, Thiamin and Riboflavin are a part of the supplement and each providing a part of the recommended daily...

My Moulinex manual mixer

Advantages: Inexpensive, comfortable grip, effective, long-lasting
Disadvantages: Slight difficulty cleaning vents

...I bought my Moulinex hand-mixer around five years ago, for about £10. Previously I had had larger mixers, the kind that come with a stand and a bowl. However I had found some distinct disadvantages with this type of mixer: for one thing, they either take up a great deal of space on the kitchen work surfaces, or get packed away in a cupboard and then it's a nuisance to get them out. Then there's the problem that only one bowl (that supplied with the mixer) will fit the base, so if I wanted to mix two or three things in separate bowls, I had to keep decanting what was already mixed, and cleaning the bowl out. And if the bowl breaks, the mixer becomes useless, unless you can find a replacement. With some mixers it's possible to remove the main mechanism from the stand, and use it as a hand-held one, but I never found that this worked...

Spatone Iron

Advantages: No side effects
Disadvantages: expensive

...Like many people i have a problem taking Iron supplements as it usually causes terrible constipation and headaches. However, finding out recently that i need extra help with iron now that i am pregnant i was recommended Spatone Iron+ by a friend that has had the same problem. They come in boxes of 28 and are individual sachets of mineral water which contain the added iron. One sachet a day, taken on its own or with fruit juice is enough to keep your iron levels at a normal level and without the added worry of the painful side effect that most iron supplements can cause. On their own they taste slightly metalic but i take mine with a glass of fruit juice which helps the body absorb the iron better. I have been on them for a month now and i am pleased to report that i have experienced no side effects at all. Best of all i feel...

Speedy Ironing

Advantages: cover reflects heat, irons out creases quickly, thick underlay, washable
Disadvantages: can take a while to fit cover snuggly (without creases)

...Cleaning is something that I don't mind doing as I like things to be in it's place and try to keep on top of things. This means that there's no need to spend the whole of my weekends cleaning, leaving me to do the things that I want when I'm not in work. There is one task however that I hate and that is ironing. For some it is therapeutic, or something to do when watching TV, but for me it is the one job that I find a chore and I hate it so much I even prefer cleaning the oven to ironing! My ironing board is years old and I have never changed the cover. I didn't realise how thin the cover had become until I took the old cover off and thought that this had something to do with why I have to spend such a long time ironing the creases out of my clothes. I was persuaded by the TV advert for the JML Fast Fit Ironing Board Cover, so...

Iron Tablets

Advantages: Boing boing (off the walls)
Disadvantages: Need...to...breathe....*GASP*

...For four years I was a vegetarian. I had a good diet, healthy life style (no smoking tsk tsk) but I still started to see the signs of an iron deficiency. My doctor recommended taking a supplement to replace what I wasn't able to get without sticking red meat down my throat. To Holland and Barrett I skipped? --Why would you take it-- The only reason you would need to take an iron supplement is because you are not getting it into your diet. Now this doesn't mean going by the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA), because even though it is a guideline it is also old and based on the average person. If you have a demanding lifestyle then you will need more than the average Joe (no meanness to Joe intended). The best way to make sure you don't have an iron deficiency is to check out for the signs. Symptoms can include: *Feeling Tired...

GHD Iron Oil

Advantages: smells nice, attractive bottle
Disadvantages: the price, it doesnt do as it says, leaves hair very greasy

...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ GHD Iron Oil ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It is now a year since I received my beloved GHD hair straightening irons and I would not be without them, however with my straightening irons I got a spray bottle of ghd iron oil and it has been a bit of a disappointment so I decided to review it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ About GHD ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Many of you will have heard of the name GHD (which stands for ?good hair day?) in relation to their famous (and rather expensive!) hair straightening irons. In the last two years GHD have become an extremely famous creator of salon-professional products which not only includes their high quality range of hair straighteners but also items like shampoos, conditioners, brushes, various styling products and finishing products. GHD products, especially the hair straighteners are...
