Big, bold and bloomin' heavy!

Advantages: Easy peasy lemon sqeezy to use
Disadvantages: Heavy, large and needs charging a LOT!

.... You can choose whether the flash is automatic or turn it off. The focus can be set at certain distances and is very useful for people who need to take close up pics (i.e for ebay etc). The major drawbacks are the dimensions! Whilst I appreciate that in order to create a camera that utilises a 3.5" disk, it needs to be at LEAST that size, it is a rather large beast! When I take it abroad, it has it's own carry case (you'll need that for the disks and charger lead!) which brings me onto my only other drawback: the charge doesn't hold for very long. With daily use, it needs charging every 3 days or so. Bit of a pain, but hey, not a problem as long as you take the leads with! Another option instead of the disks is to use a memory stick but as I don't use them, I can't say if they are good, bad or indifferent! It's not sleek or cute but it...

the flexi lead for dogs

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...My friend’s dad has got a couple of dogs and a few weeks ago he decided to get them some new collars…….simple enough you would think. But, the choice is quite difficult as there are quite a few on the market. The flexi lead is great for bigger and stronger dogs as my friend’s dad’s are. It gives the handler much more control over the dog via the lead. The handler can use the lead to keep the dog as far or as near as he/she wants. You use your thumb to stop the lead from expanding. It’s great for when your in a busy area and therefore need more control over the dog and if you want to bring the dog back to you can do quite effortlessly. You are given a lot of control. So, when I took the dog out for a walk it was good for both me and the dog The dog has much more distance he could go...

Review of Flexi Classic Lead

Flexi Leads: A Training Aid - not a substitute

Advantages: Allows gradual, controlled socialisation
Disadvantages: can cause injury if not used correctly

...I have read the reviews on dooyoo regarding these and agree whole-heartedly with what they say. So why am I doing a review of my own? - to give another perspective. The flexi lead is not a long term solution to an aggressive dog or one that will not come back when recalled. It is however proving to be an invaluable training aid. We adopted a dog from a rescue kennels in March. A collie/german shepherd cross, Rebel was seven months old. Born in the kennels he was briefly homed at 10 weeks but returned to the kennels at three months old. When we adopted him, he was totally untrained, had very little experience of the world, and had not been socialised with other dogs at all. At the kennels the dogs were kept in a kennel on their own, his only experience of other dogs were his neighbours throwing themselves at the door of their...

Review of Flexi Classic Lead

This is not MVC

Advantages: It might not be MVC, but it's StreetsOnline, so technically a very good service for potential consumers, although they'd be best advised to use the real thing.
Disadvantages: It's beyond belief that MVC have done this. There is nothing here which bears their trademark, in any respect. MVC members will feel let down and confused.

...MVC, part of the Kingfisher retail group that also includes Comet, B&Q, Superdrug and Woolworths, have been late in setting up an online store. From humble beginnings as a cheap'n'cheerful discount music store on the Harrow Road in North London at the start of the 1990s, they have slowly expanded their business to all four corners of the UK, although the total number of outlets is still less than their highstreet rivals. They have never been the most fashionable of chains, with their rather bland style of instore decor and functional rather than atmospheric layout. For years, they could seldom be beaten on price, which - when all is said and done - matters more than nice-looking stores to the average consumer. Having established themselves as a competitive and unique brand, therefore, it's disappointing to find MVC's online service...

Review of Sony Mavica MVC FD83

Take the lead is not to be missed

Advantages: a great film, a must see, can watch with boyfriends etc.
Disadvantages: none really,

...Take the lead is a film that will touch the hearts of all people, a story about how one man goes against the labelling that others have done and against all odds turns the troublesome teenagers around. Antonio Banderas, who plays the main character, a dance teacher turns up at a school to deal witht the students who are segregated from the rest dur to bad behaviour, he faces many challenges and even has his beloved bike vandalised. but he continues and would not give up. he atempts to show the teenagers that there is more to life than the darker sides such as violence and drugs, he teaches them that dance is about passion, love and inner beauty. initially they are not interested but they soon change their minds and compete. in my opinion this is a film which should not be missed, it can be enjoyed by people of all ages although some...

Review of Take The Lead (DVD)

Lead stations deluxe food.

Advantages: Fantastic food
Disadvantages: High number of lesbians (if you don;t like that type of thing)

...The lead station is located in Chorlton a couple of miles outside the city centre but not too far. Chorlton is one of the nicest areas in South Manchetser and the lead station is located in the posh part of Chorlton! I first went to the lead station with my current boyfriend and some friends for the first time. I had heard quite a lot of reviews about it but had never actually been myself. People raved on about how good the food was and could even name specific dishes I should try. Others had prewarned me that there are a fair share of gay people that go in there, namely gay women. This didn't phase me at all as I regularly go out in the gay village in Manchester and I am not homophobic in the least. My first impressions as I walked in were 'what a classy venue', the decor is lovely it seemed to have a really relaxed atmosphere...

More Variety and Choice at MVC.co.uk

Advantages: Excellent range of poroducts especially in the DVD sections
Disadvantages: Can timeout at certain sections especially registration

...MVC have just launched their online shopping site and what a treat it is, I am maybe a bit biased with this opinion, as this is whom I work for! But the site has been designed by a company called Streets Ahead who are leaders in online shopping. MVC are a fairly young business when it comes to High Street retailing and there are very few here in Scotland and only about 80 altogether throughout the UK. The company is part of the Kingfisher group (Woolworth?s, B&Q etc.). When you first log into mvc.co.uk you are presented with a page that seems fairly busy with a lot to take in, but there are not many ads and stuff to distract your attention away from the purpose of the page and it is soon realised that all the info is relating to sub sections such as DVD?s and books. The top of the page has hyperlinks to all of the main sections...

MVC-PROBABLY NOT FOR ME.THEN AGAIN.

Advantages: Competitve prices, fast delivery.
Disadvantages: None

...I placed an order for a DVD with MVC yesterday. The order process was fairly straightforward. No problems there. The site itself was easy to use, bright, colourful, and visually busy without being too confusing. I put my selected title into the search facility and up came several hits. It even specified which year my chosen film was made so I didn?t accidentally order an older version under the same title. So far so good. £3 off normal price. OK so it?s £1 for p+p but it?s still great value and so much easier than fighting through the crowds at the high street. With my password I can view my account details and order history. Nice! Much to my surprise the postman dropped a parcel through the letterbox this morning. Whoa! That?s pretty fast I thought. Christmas shopping could be a doddle at this rate. Easy-to-use site. Fast delivery...
