Play with Galt numbers puzzles

Advantages: good simple puzzles
Disadvantages: none

...You can buy this set of 10 number puzzles for £4.99 from http://www.childsplaysussex.co.uk/galt-number-puzzles-3353-0.html . It is available for similar prices from other shops too. I think at present these puzzles come in a red box that has a carry handle, ours at work does not have this handle. This set of ten puzzles is suitable for children aged 3 to 5 years old, or those older who have problems with recognising number. These puzzles are made of a thick card and withstands quite a bit of wear, so should last quite a time. Each individual puzzle is a single number and is a three piece rectangular puzzle. The top piece of the puzzle is the numeral the centre piece which is the largest has a picture that corresponds to the number so for example on number 1 there?s is 1 spaceship, on number 5 there are 5 hats . The bottom...

A Load of Number Twos

Advantages: A couple of tracks aren't too bad
Disadvantages: Most of them are pretty lame

...'t sound all that interested again. Like others earlier on the album, this is another long track and again one that I'd lost interest in long before the final note. There's a drum beat at the start of "Deluxe" that reminds me of Terence Trent D'Arby's "Sign Your Name", but the music on this is more like a lounge act than anything else. The vocals are more varied than on most of the tracks, but with very little variation in the guitar lines, it does drag out a little, especially with a running time of more than four minutes once more. Thankfully at this point the album is over and I'm not at all sad to reach the end. Admittedly, when you go into an album (or, indeed, anything) with certain expectations, as I did here, the chance of disappointment is always increased. However, even had I put "Number One" on with a clear mind, I suspect I...

Review of Just Jigsaws Animal Number Train Puzzle

Just a number?

Advantages: Jim Carrey without the comedy faces
Disadvantages: Jumps about a lot

...Jim Carrey once again shows his ability to play it straight in this psychological thriller. If you can get passed his normal comedy roles and take him seriously that is! Director Directed by Joel Schumacher who's previous films include Flatliners, The Lost Boys, St Elmos Fire, and more recently Phone Booth. Titles The film starts with the actors names etc flashing up on a typed manuscript along with numerous references to the number 23. Historical dates and events of disasters that have connections or add up to the number. This starts your mind thinking about how this can be before the film even starts. Storyline Jims character is a dog catcher called Walter Sparrow whose wife Agatha buys him a tattered book for his birthday called 'The Number 23' The film then follows Walter as he reads the book. The film is narrated...

Review of The number 23 (DVD)

My number

Advantages: Easy to fix and helps people find us
Disadvantages: None yet

...Black number After himself had finished making the fence and gates for the back of the house, he decided we had best get a number put onto the fence, so took himself off to get one. Not being especially concerned about a number I was rarely going to take any notice of because I know where i live, i was however quite impressed by his choice. THE NUMBER... The number itself is a 4" black number with just the right amount of "twirl" at the bottom of the number 5. This makes it pleasant to look at and not overly formal but at the same time not so fancy that it is almmost unrecognisable as a number. It is made of metal and has been cast and powder coated to make it black. Contained in the packet are two screws for attaching the number to a surface, and these are also black, so when it is fixed in place, they just merge in as part...

Review of House Nameplate 4 Black Number"

Whos Bad!!!!! Michael Jacksons Number Ones.

Advantages: A lot of the good old songs he sang.
Disadvantages: his life at the moment.

...I am writing this review and opinion as a fair one, I have my personal opinions on him but this is not what this is about. No matter what has gone on in the past, Michael Jackson is a legend. He even has a monkey named after me lol. My next door neighbour from my last place idolises him and will not hear a bad thing said against him so for Christmas I decided to get her the Michael Jackson Number Ones. Now Ciao, tut, tut, if your trying to catch me out to see if I have got this cd, then I must point out to you that you have the wrong picture on the review heading. Ciao shows it as Michael jumping sideways. This is actually one of the pictures inside the cd and is not the main cover. The CD Cover -------------------- Very basic, white front and back cover with a picture of Michael Jackson with his had on his head...

Review of Number Ones - Michael Jackson

E numbers, the hidden 'nasty' in our foods...

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...We live in an everchanging society in which we are constantly being informed of new discoveries linked to scientific research regarding the food that we consume. Many of us have adjusted our diets to reflect the information that we have been given. There are now guidelines on our food packaging and guidelines in the media that surrounds us, most of which would seem completely alien to generations before us. We are all aware of salts and fats affecting our cholesterol and hearts. However there is another hidden nasty lurking within many of our foods, E numbers. What are E numbers? E numbers are food additives that are used to enhance the flavour of our food or to add colour, they are also added to preserve food. Some are used as thickeners and some as sweeteners. The E is the letter that comes before...

Review of E Numbers

Movie Making By Numbers

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...I like Sandra Bullock, I don't think I've made any secret of that fact in previous movie reviews. The thing is, I'm still waiting for a director to come along who might actually show a little bit of confidence in her abilities to both charm an audience and play the tough, serious roles at the same time. Her big break in Speed helped revolutionise the female character in action movies, taking them out of the 'ditzy' love interest stereotype and actually placing them alongside the male actor as co-star. In that movie, she took as much control as Keanu Reeves, outperforming him in terms of charm and talent but has done nothing of note ever since. She is either cast for charm, or comedy, but with Murder By Numbers it would be a return to the more serious stage... Murder By Numbers is exactly what it says on the tin - its a murder done by...

Review of Days Without Numbers - Robert Goddard

The number 23 (DVD), bet it gets you!

Advantages: Creepy, cool, great twist in the story, great acting
Disadvantages: No features on DVD

...I asked Ciao to feature this DVD as a new product as I watched it the other night and was blown away by it. As a DVD it would not be very different to a video in that there were no particular extras or features other than the usual 'scene selection' options, there were no interviews, behind the scenes stuff or anything like that. Okay, Jim Carrey, I am so used to seeing him make funny faces or act the fool, this was the first eye opener, the guy can act, boy can he act. The story is really interesting, and i warn you now, I am not going to spoil the ending. Jim plays a guy called Walter Sparrow, who leads a pretty average life, he is an animal warden, has a loving wife, teenage son, usual stuff. Anyway, for his birthday one day, which happens to be on the 23rd, his wife buys him a battered book from an old bookstore, the number...
