Advantages: Outstanding performance in mud
Disadvantages: performance on other surfaces is middle to poor

...All tyres are a compromise. The mud Pro is a mud specific tyre, and at this it excels. However it's excellent mud performance is at the expense of it's performance on other terrains. On MUD: There are 2 thoughts for riding through mud 1) fat tyres run at low pressures to float over the surface. 2) thin tyres at high pressures to cut through the muck and find grip below. These are firmly in option 2. And in mud they are outstanding. I have personally ridden through 3/4 mile of constant mud, some if it up to 18 inches deep, and while my mates were left carrying their bikes, I just ploughed on through. Seems to work best at around 50 psi. The narrow profile and tall knobs really do cut through the surface, and where other tyres will just spin these will find grip. As long as you have the power to keep the rear wheel turning this tyre... Read review

Advantages: smooth skin
Disadvantages: messy

...Boots Botanics Conditioning Clay Mask is a deep cleasing mud mask. It contains oceanic negatively charged clay, which according to the packaging "acts like a magnet helping draw deep rooted inpurities out of the skin without drying" All i know is that it works. Apply on to dry skin and leave to dry for 20-25 minutes. It goes rock hard, but when you wash it off your skin is smooth and conditioned, not dry at all, and pores tighten up. On oily skin you can use it up to 3 times a week. It comes in a tube 120g, which is more than some other masks and its reasuringly heavy. It goes a long way, and its great fun playing with mud!...

...MUD's. There literally millions of MUD's out there you can play, and i don't have the time nor the space to go into all of them, so i will focus on just one. The Two Towers is a MUD which i play quite a lot. To logon to it telnet to angband.towers.com port 9999. However, if you use mIRC you can get MUD scripts for that too. Two Towers is an easy MUD to begin with. Moving around is simple, thanks to the excellent learning zone for new users. The world itself is vast, with many many places to go, and you have the ability to become rich and powerful with it. However, if you don't like reading / writing this is not really for you. There are no graphics of any kind in the game - it is entirely text based. If that doesn't put you off, then i suggest finding a "teacher" like i did to guide you round for an hour or so to help you pick... Read review

Advantages: Newbie friendly, highly developed MUD
Disadvantages: none that I can think off

...MUD stands for Multi User Dungeon. A MUD is a "role playing" type game, usually text based. The aim varies in different MUDs but you usually progress through a level system by solving puzzles and killing mobiles (computer characters). Once you have worked your way through the "mortal" levels you become an Immortal and canusually take on the role of helping out other players and helping with the development of the game. A good MUD is very addictive - there's no fancy 3D graphics or surround sound, simply text, the occasional beep and perhaps some creative ASCII art. However as well as challenging yourself to complete "quests" and gain levels you can talk to and work alongside other human players. perhaps more satisfying for those who reach it, is that when you become an imortal as well as getting some neat extra powers you can become...

......I could afford to hire Bill Gates as a yard boy What's a MUD ? You don't even know what's a MUD *sigh* Ok a MUD is a MULTI USER DUNGEON ! Oh you still don't look happy. HA yes first of all, I'm belgian so my mother tongue is French not English so please don't be too hard on English I do my best and hope it is not too hard for you to understand what I'm writing. So a MUD is a Roleplaying game ( RPG ) which is played online. But that's far to be like Ultima or T4C for the one who knows this game, that's something with no graphic. That's a full text game, with black letters on blank background. I know you think : "oh, that's crap". I would say that's quite an old system but it still goes on and works well. The software you have to use to bein MUDDING is telnet avilable on all comps from WIN95 and on any MAC/OS by searching it quickly... Read review

Advantages: Very cheap alternative to a facepack for both sexes
Disadvantages: THe stench - but you get used to it!

...Me and my girlfreind experienced our first holiday together in September 2006 in Dalyan. One of the most enjoyable experiences was the Turkish mudbath - that's right I had more fun than white water rafting down the Dalaman RIver (although only just - this is an adrenaline rush that has to be experienced), going on a jeep safari round the town and through the local countryside, visiting the Dalyan rock tombs and ancient city of Kaunos etc etc. I discovered the location of the mud baths whilst on a boat trip down the Dalyan River. I noticed a horrible stench - like rotten eggs. Looking around the boat all the 'newbies' to the town were all looking around and probably thinking the same thing I was...... I was getting ready to be impressed when the captain of the boat shouted - "sulphur pools next to the mud bath!" All of the childish... Read review

Advantages: Very effective in cleansing skin.
Disadvantages: A struggle to open the sachet.

...Welcome to "Episode II" in my trilogy of reviews of "DaVinci For Men" products. In the previous episode, I tested and reviewed Davinci Men's Peel Off Mask, and gave you an insight into the Davinci and Cosmex International companies. This product review is for the Men's Mud Mask. The Mud Mask claims to "Clense, Revitalise and Revitalise" your skin - ideal after a long day Christmas Shopping ! Before using the mask, the packet recommend testing the product by applying a small amount of the mud to the inside of the upper arm, and leaving it for five minutes. This is to ensure that you are not sensitive to any of the ingredients. The good news is that this product, along with all of the Davinci range, is not tested on animals ! To use the mud mask, you need first wash your face as normal. As before, the sachet can be quite difficult... Read review

Advantages: Fun, great communities and free
Disadvantages: Addictive and if you don't like reading at all you may hate it

...When many people talk about online games they often seem to ignore MUD's, yet to me they are the best possible kind of online game there is. MUD stands for Multi User Dungeon/Domain/Dimension, where you take on the role of some sort of character, this character really depends on the MUD itself but in a typical fantasy MUD it would be something like a wizard/warrior/thief type of character. Within the MUD are a variety of other characters controlled by other players, the number of players there again will depend on the MUD itself and can range from 1 to hundreds. Originally all MUD's tended to be adventure games played in a fantasy environment however now it can often be any cyberspace and contain many different environments determined only by the creators imagination and skill. Yes, there are no graphics but no this doesn't deter... Read review

...I am normally not a game player, least of all an online game player, but I can recommend the MUD/MUCK at muckworld.com to anyone. This MUCK was developed by the person who runs it to create a new take on the good old world of SIM-ming and MUDs. The world has been developed as one big universe and you can create your "themed" rooms (based on Babylon 5, Star Trek, AD&D, and many other options) within this universe and you can traverse from room to room easily so you are not stuck in one type of universe. The other feature of this MUCK is that for a small annual membership payment you can have a completely independent MUCK of your own on their server. The nice thing is that enquiries (addressed to enquiries@muckworld.com) about MuckWorld are answered quite promptly. For more details about this MUCK, I suggest you visit the website at either...
