Age of Plastic The Buggles

Advantages: contains hard to find hit singles
Disadvantages: of its time

...If your old enough to remember Tomorrows World and its weekly glimpses into the future then this record could be considered a musical version of that great televisisual institution,song after song of futuristic promise and techno romance set against mysterious synthesisers and crashing drum machines,certainly a step up from beat boys in the jet age but not quite brand new world ,nevertheless it contained one of the finest pop songs ever written about a domestic appliance in " Video Killed the Radio Star ",this was 1979 and with MTV just around the corner . The album first appeared in January 1980 optimistic of maximising on the success of "Radio Star",the title track and opener "The Plastic Age" was released as a follow up ,not dissimilar in sound though less melodic and a tad more urgent , in retrospect the overall effect is...

Review of Age Of Plastic, The [Remastered] - Buggles

Plastic Surgery

Advantages: Very soulful and musical, some unknown tracks
Disadvantages: Different from volume 1

...Plastyc Surgery volume 1 was a groundbreaking release. It was something like an essence of that unmatched Hospital Records style, the style that has shaken the scene like no other has done before. This release here is the same kind of essence. Yet the style of Hospital now is different. The recipe of soulfulness Hospital originally brough was something like bringing in various kinds of effects that made beat soft and fluent, creating an original atmosphere for each track. The sound of Hospital of today is different. It is even less bassy and much more melodic and musical. If you've heard the Hospital of today and some of their pre-2004 tunes you will get what I mean right away. The difference of sounds is great, and the difference of two volumes of Plastic Surgery is an excellent example of that. The first CD is pretty short...

More dance fun: Logic3 Hard Plastic Dance Mat

Advantages: Very few of the problems you get with dance mats.
Disadvantages: Have to press much harder on the pads.

...This review is for a solid plastic Playstation dance controller. ** COMPARISONS ** I recently reviewed Logic3's PRO dance mat which I had before I bought this one too (having liked Logic3's approach to the dance mat). So have a look at that review if you want any more detail about some of the comparisons I may draw: http://www.ciao.co.uk/Logic3PRODanceMatReview5425756 ** GENERAL POINTS ** This mat retails for £41.99 from http://specialreserve.com/ and others for a similar sort of price. I got mine off www.ebay.co.uk for a bit less. Keep in mind that delivery can be quite high since the mat weighs 8 kg (9 kg boxed) - SpecialReserve members get free delivery on this item which could be worth looking into and could make it effectively a cheaper option that other shops. I've seen another brand of hard dance mat on e...

Review of Logic3 Hard Plastic Dance Mat PS424

The Battle of the Plate

Advantages: Sticks like glue - for a while, comfortable gums
Disadvantages: Horrible sensation if you overuse it

...many partial denture users soon abandon them and retain a gappy smile. FIXODENT DENTURE ADHESIVE CREAM There are a number of plate adhesives on the market ? the leaders in the UK are Fixodent from Proctor and Gamble Ltd and Poli-Grip from SmithKeinBeecham. The cream is promoted to hold dentures in place strongly all day (about 12 hours for the average user). It acts as a cushion under the denture preventing abrasion of the gum margin. It acts as a barrier to food particles getting under the plate. These things together allow the user to ?laugh, talk and eat with great comfort and confidence? Fixodent is packaged in 40ml plastic tubes and is available in three flavours (Original ? which is flavoured with peppermint oil), Fresh (flavoured with peppermint powder) and Neutral (no flavourings). The active ingredients are co...

A plastic snake

Advantages: cheap ,fun
Disadvantages: it breaks easily

...Plastic jointed snake. I was lured into the gift shop at the natural history museum in Tring by my grandchildren. I did not want to spend much money so the children were directed to the cheap toys and my granddaughter aged 3 choose a jointed snake. * cost. Availability. This jointed snake coast me 50p I think . It is available from other novelty shops and on line at http://www.tobar.co.uk Probably at Hawkins sport too. *Well for 50p you don?t expect much do you and we didn?t get much either. What we did get was an orange red jointed hard plastic snake.

Mini plastics

Advantages: look great
Disadvantages: bendy, can work out to be pricey

..., one: episode one, "Rose". These are shop window dummies, which come alive when controlled by the Nestene Consciousness. They are quite scary, with weapons in their wrists, definitely enough to make you weiry when walking past shop windows! This little figure is quite thin, and dressed in a little pinstripe suit, as were one of the autons in the episode. He is pointing his hand out appropriatly, as if ready to attack. However you cannot see his face (maybe the Wire has been at work!). As he is so small, even if he did have a face, the details would be minor only. The figure stands on a black hexagonal base, and you need to be quite careful that you do not snap him off, as he is made from quite a flimsy and light plastic. When you buy the figure, you will get either two others (three-pack) or six others (seven-pack). You can only ever see...

Something NOT to get your teeth into!!!

Advantages: Smells nice & minty
Disadvantages: Doesn't work, dentures come loose, paste leaks into mouth

...know you can get it cheaper. It comes in a blue 40ml tube and looks a lot like toothpaste till you read the box! You can get it in different flavours, including Original, Fresh and Neutral. Nan likes a nice minty flavour, so dad got her the Original variety and nan seemed pleased when she sniffed the tube. I've never actually seen anyone use this stuff before, so the day nan was getting ready to go out, I was engrossed as I watched her use it for the first time. First, she took her clean, dry teeth and then put little plops all around the plate and a few more for good measure. She then put her upper and lower plates into her mouth and pressed them into place. She said she had to wait for a few minutes before she could eat or drink anything hot as this might make the adhesive not work as well as it should. She waited for the right...

Santa Loves Disney Too

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: Nothing

...Disney Self Adhesive Labels Santa Loves Disney Too It has come around to that time of the year again when Father Christmas and his elves are beginning to wrap the presents, and even though Father Christmas is brilliant with delivering the presents to all the children around the world, he does tend to forget names, so even he needs to label the presents! There are many different labels on the market for Christmas time, the non-self-adhesive kind are so annoying and quite often I make my own labels with cut out cards and string, though this year with a small daughter in tow, I thought I would make it easier for myself and brought some self-adhesive labels from Disney. These specific set of Disney labels come in many different Disney character and programme types from Jungle Book to Winnie the Pooh. This specific type I am reviewing is...

Adhesive mistake

Advantages: Previews of the scanned image/document, ability to adjust image
Disadvantages: The disc no longer works and we had problems with the cable

...My husband and I have never been very technically minded people so finding products that are easy to understand and very user friendly are a must in our purchasing decisions. We have now owned the HP Scan Jet 4400c for about 3 years now and it served us well until we bought another computer. The problem occurred very stupidly and was nothing technically wrong ? just adhesively wrong. The disc to install this scanner onto a computer had a paper casing which had been glued down. When we installed it into our first computer, we tucked the flap inside and unfortunately the glue stuck to the disc and ruined it. We visited the HP website only to discover a new disc would cost us £10. I suppose this isn?t a bad price but I?ll let you know what happens in a minute. This scanner is a flat bed scanner which means it is in a horizontal...

Get stuck into some decorating!

Advantages: Great adhesion, easy to mix, great range
Disadvantages: Need to keep away from children and pets

...I quite enjoy a bit of DIY and one of the things I like to do is hang wallpaper - it is great way to get a new finish to a room and the results don't take too long to achieve. I live in a house where the walls are not perfectly finished so wallpapering is useful to cover up the odd imperfection. Whenever I am wallpapering I usually make a bee-line for the Solvite Wallpaper Adhesive because I have been really pleased with this product whenever I have used it. Many years ago they ran a series of TV adverts where they pasted a bloke on to a board using Solvite and then flew him over the countryside to show how effective it was. If I am honest I never really was convinced that the stuff was that good (and I certainly wouldn't take part in that stunt to prove it one way or another) but it was a distinctive enough advert to make me use...
