The Ex Factor

Advantages: tastes of chocolate, they work
Disadvantages: could appeal to children, abuse

...Laxative abuse has been a part of my life for around three years now. It first started when I read about the effects of the product in a certain celebrity's autobiography, and from that moment I knew it was something I wanted to try. So I did. And I loved the effects. Now I say 'loved', but perhaps that word is too strong. It became an addiction, the central point of abuse within my eating disorder. I couldn't live without them... Laxatives help the bowel movement, generally taken when one is suffering from constipation. Often they can be prescribed if constipation or poor bowel movement is severe, though more often than not you can pick up an effective option on the shelves in supermarkets and chemists. Among other top brands such as Calfig, you will find Ex-Lax. Ex-Lax Senna Chocolate Laxatives come in a little cardboard packet...

The Ex Factor

Advantages: easy to read
Disadvantages: a bit predictable

...As the old song goes ?Breaking up is hard to do?. Edward Middleton, the her of ?The Ex Boyfriend's handbook? by Matt Dunn can certainly sympathize with this. After over a decade together his girlfriend Jane has suddenly upped and left him to find herself in Tibet for three months taking most of the furniture from their flat with her. She suggests he refinds himself as he's become stuck in a rut and ?let himself go so she's letting him go?. Edward has three months to sort himself out and regain the love of his life. Can he do it? Thus is the beginning of a fairly enjoyable e comic romp through blokiness, speed dating and make overs with some nice poignant moments. Set in contemporary trendy Brighton (which is very recognisable and accurate from the three days I have spent there) the Ex Boyfriend's Handbook is a slice of ?lad lit...

Deus Ex

Advantages: Gameplay, diversity, replay value
Disadvantages: Graphics

...Deus Ex is set in 2052 though this year is not revealed in the game it is revealed in the sequel. You are a UNATCO (United Nations Anti-Terrorist Coalition) agent improved by the use of nano-augmentation. The Grey Death, an infectious disease, is slowly wiping out the population and there is a limited supply of the vaccine. This limited supply means only those deemed to be of use are receiving it i.e. government personnel, scientists, the influential rich etc. As you may have guessed, the people on the ground are far from happy about this, rioting has become commonplace and terrorists are on their side. UNATCO exists to enforce peace. This game does not have one simple plot, there are many detailed subplots which keep the players interest throughout the entire game. Keeping in line with this, the game has more than one possible ending...

Digital Photo Printing at Boots

Advantages: Quick and Easy Self Service - Quality - Professional
Disadvantages: Not the cheapest

...I have a digital camera, and keep my photos on my computer's hard-drive, but occasionally I like to get better and more interesting pictures printed, it just seems so much more natural to hold a real photo than look at it on the screen, plus it's better for showing them to people when a computer or TV isn't available, or giving photos to people who don't have a computer or DVD player. I recently therefore took a batch of my digital photos to Boots to get them printed. Boots now have self service machines for digital photos, which allow either instant, 1 hour or 24 hour printing from various sources. This can be a memory card, a photo CD, or Infra-Red direct from a compatible phone or camera. This has 2 benefits over the old over the counter method, firstly you can keep the media that the photos are on, very useful if it's your only...

Deus Ex-cellence !

Advantages: Immersive gameplay thats well balanced, fantastic missions, amazingly well made in every aspect !

There's Tipp-ex on my monitor!!

Advantages: Does the job fantastically
Disadvantages: A dying breed?

...With the dawn and progression of the digital and electronic era, the pressures on the very existence of some things have increased. With e-books becoming a trendier and more hassle free way of reading, libraries are seeing drops in the number of users...in some cases. But what about office stationery such as Tipp-ex? Surely, with the need for writing on paper reducing more and more every moment, Tipp-ex is also a threatened product. Right? Well, there is a lot to be said about this, and I suppose in a way I'm not aiming to discuss the future of a product such as Tipp-ex. When the Germans bought the formula for its creation in the 1960s, they gave it its name and started mass marketing it. Getting its name from the German for 'type', with the 'ex' part signifying 'no more', Tipp-ex is basically a white fluid that is traditionally...

Review of Tipp-Ex Rapid Fluid

Tipp-Ex out your Mistakes!

Advantages: can correct large areas
Disadvantages: can be messy

...TIPP-EX **WHAT IS IT** Tipp-Ex is a correction fluid which will cover any mistakes you have made. You can sort of paint over the mistake with your Tipp-ex and then write over it so you will no longer see the mistake you have made. It can be used over many different surfaces as long as the Tipp-ex will stick to it and the surface is white although the main use is for paper so it is very popular in offices and for school work. **PACKAGING** It comes in a white tub which is plastic. On the front there is the Tipp-ex sign in red and the front label is blue. It has a picture of the applicator on the front as well. On the back there are details about the product in English and another language. There is also a flammable sign in yellow. To open the product you screw the applicator off and there will be a stick with a foam...

The Yamaha EX7 Workstation Synthesizer experience

Advantages: Versatile, Endless potential, timeless, a very powerful instrument
Disadvantages: Can take a while to learn

... My experience I have been using my EX7 now for over eleven years and I can hand on heart say its the best single piece of music equipment / instrument that I have ever placed my hands on or heard. In 1997 when I first bought it, it was top of the line except for the flagship model (The EX5) which had a full sized keyboard with fully weighted keys and a VL acoustic synthesizer built in. The quality of the sounds on this are in most cases so realistic that its impossible to tell the difference with the right use of effects. Compared to other synthesizers in its generation and even now, the quality is unbeatable even 11 years on. I once had a Yahama CS2X and the difference between the quality in voices on that and the EX is in a completely different class. This instrument is perfect for performances or even writing songs from...

Developing your photos at Tesco

Advantages: Quick and Easy
Disadvantages: Can be more expensive and you cannot pay by cash at these machines

...I have found this service quite handy as now having a digital camera i tend to forget to develop my photos, which is a shame, and trying to hand your memory card over for someone to pick out the ones you want to develp can be quite stressful, which is why i use the self service photo developing. I have found it quite an easy self explanatory experience, you insert your memory card and follow the on-line instructions, you can either have the normal 4x6 prints, the option to select all photos or certain ones, you also have the option to re-size your photos as well. When selecting your photos it tells you how much it is costing you on the screen, so no nasty suprises at the end! You then simply pay for the selected photos by card at the machine and then your photos are printed while you wait, which i think is quite quick. The only down...
