A multi purpose bowl

Advantages: really good
Disadvantages: might break if you drop it hard on stone floor

...Pyrex glass bowl 1 litre. This is not the smallest Pyrex glass bowl you can get there is a 0.5 litre glass bowl. The1 litre Pyrex glass bowl that I have is guaranteed for ten years. I have had mine more than ten years now without any harm coming to it. No chips no cracks no pitted surface the glass still crystal clear. This bowl is not a casserole dish just a simple round glass bowl , no lid Pyrex is made of borosilicate toughened heat resistant glass. Pyrex kitchen ware has been made by Corning Inc since 1915, before that this firm developed toughened glass for light bulbs in 1879 Pyrex is a good material for a bowl as it is non- porous and flavours and smells do not linger on the bowl after washing it. I have used my small Pyrex bowl 100000's of times for many different uses. I can use it in the oven...

Review of Hollywood Bowl

Lots of Bunnykins running round this bowl

Advantages: lovely baby bowl
Disadvantages: breakable

...I was looking for a set of crockery for a new baby and recalled the Bunnykins ones my daughter had as a birth present. The Royal Doulton company was formed in 1853 went into receivership in January this year 2009. I am sure Bunnykins products will still be made though. Today I am talking about the infant Bunnykins bowl, a basic bowl shape I believe called Albion shape. This is a 6 inch diameter cereal bowl. There is also a baby bowl available this has a flattened lip all the way around the bowl . Over the years there have been several Bunnykins picture designs inside the bowls the scene inside the bowl has changing designs rotating over the years .there is a kite one which is the one my daughter has , there is one with the bunny children playing with knitting wool, then there is the bunnykins in bunk beds. There are special...

Charrington Bowl

Advantages: new lanes, quite cheap
Disadvantages: can get very busy

...Charrington Bowl is a bowling alley owned by Hollwood Bowl. It has 32 lanes attached with bumpers for kids and a large number of different weighted bowling balls. There is also a café serving hot and cold food all-day, a bar, games arcade and bowling shop which sells a selection of bowling equipment and accessories. I have been to charrington bowl many times because it is a short drive from my house and whenever I have been I've had a good experience. The lanes are in good condition and have electronic scoring and technicians on hand if anything goes wrong or your ball gets stuck etc. The staff are all very friendly. There are a few offers that they do which allows you to bowl at a discounted rate. These include 'lanes of fame' 6 games for £6.00 per person available Monday to Friday between 10am and 3pm. Also, Sunday to Thursdays...

Review of Charrington Bowl - Tolworth

The Golden Bowl - the film version of the Henry James novel

Advantages: Attention to period detail, good work with costume accuracy
Disadvantages: Poor dialogue, too long, badly produced in my view

...The Golden Bowl is a film released in 2000, based on the book written at the turn of the twentieth century by Henry James. The film lasts for 130 minutes, and my review is based on the DVD. In essence, the plot is that Prince Amerigo marries Maggie Verver, the daughter of Adam Verver. However Amerigo is in love with Verver's best friend, Charlotte Stant. There are some really good actors in the film, Jeremy Northam plays Amerigo, who I thought was a superb Sir Thomas More in the US Tudors series. Maggie is played by the beautiful and talented actress Kate Beckinsale, Nick Nolte plays her father in the film, and Uma Thurman, who I remembered from her roles in Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill, plays Stant. The film is directed by James Ivory and produced by Ismail Merchant. And as for the quality of the film, I was disappointed. The film...

Review of The Golden Bowl (DVD)

Fruit or Plastic?

Advantages: Enjoy eating plastic????????
Disadvantages: Sugar..............................?

...Lately I have been trying quite successfully to improve my lifestyle and this has especially included my diet. Because of my hectic daily itinerary it is sometimes difficult to obtain nutritious, healthy food on the road as I do a lot of travelling. Also I do not like to eat a lot of food in the daytime and wanted an alternative to the normal crisps, peanuts, and sweets I have been used to eating. This led me to start trying variously named so-called healthy snack bars and so led to this review. Fruit bowl school bars are my latest acquisition for testing and I purchased them from Tesco's for 98 pence for a packet of five. Although there are a myriad of flavours offered throughout most of the fruit range I chose apple, blackcurrant, and pear. I was initially drawn to them because of the cost with other competing products...

Review of Fruit Bowl School Bars

'Fruit bowl or Sugar bowl'

Advantages: Handy for a quick kids snack
Disadvantages: too sweet

...and by the time he had peeled the banana, then ate it he did not have enough time left to play football before the final whistle!!!! Then I discovered 'Fruit Bowl School Bars'. These bars appear to be directed primarily in the lunchbox !! that is obvious due to the packaging... **Packaging and contents** Bright green box same size as a CD box, juicy green freshly cut apples on the front with a picture of one of the bars looking juicy and succulent. The words 'School bars' is emblazoned across the front and in a yellow triangle in the top right were the words 'Ideal for lunchboxes'. On the back of the box, apart from the ingredients (later) was a little green box with a list....made with real fruit, natural colours, natural flavours, good for energy, low in fat and the rather confusing.....'3 x it's own weight in fruit, not sure I...

The Bowl Was On Fire.

Advantages: Queen at their finest
Disadvantages: Are you kidding me?

...This review I have been itching to do since Christmas, but I wanted to do it the proper justice it deserves. Queen On Fire. Live at the Bowl. June 5th 1982. Its explosive, raw, sexy, funky, foot-stompin', head-bangin' great music, and could only have been provided by one Legendary Group...... ****************************QUEEN*********************************** 1) FLASH. While this song is playing, the boys arrive by helicopter, and launch onto the stage to thunderous applause. I Love this song because it is so corny..... Hero saves the Universe, but not without being out in mortal danger first, and saving the girl.... You know how it goes........ 7/10 from me. 2) THE HERO. Quick, flashy, Great song to listen to. Freddie is really into the groove now...

Review of Queen On Fire (Live At The Bowl) - Queen

They taste like plastic to me, but kids seem to enjoy them!?

Advantages: Kids seem to like them
Disadvantages: Taste awful to me

...Last year I brought my first pack of school bars. I had seen them in the shops for a while but never had any reason to buy them - my daughter was too young for them at the time and I didn't any any particular urge to try them. My daughter turned 1 years old and I was looking for new and healthy snacks for her to try so school bars seemed like a good choice. School bars are made by a company called Fruit Bowl whos aim is to make fruit more fun to eat. They come in 20g bars and in packs of 5. I brought my pack of school bars from Tesco for £1.18. You can also buy them from other big supermarkets, healthy food stores and some small convienience stores at around the same price. They come in 5 different flavours - cherry, strawberry, blackcurrant, apricot and apple. My daughter didn't have a favourite flavour at the time but I enjoy...

Review of Fruit Bowl School Bars

Fruit bowl - Fruit Flakes a bit of a 'let down'

Advantages: A snack a little bit healthier than sweets
Disadvantages: Very sweet and sickly

...made from 3 times their own weight in real fruit that is concentrated, sweetened and formed into pieces. Each piece is then enveloped in a yoghurt coating. I decided to do a bit further research on the product and visited the website. It would appear that 'Fruit Bowl Fruit Snacks' are produced by Stream Foods Ltd at a factory near Wisbech in Cambridgeshire. Apparently, the company was set up in 2000 by Ian Ding and Paul Newberry with the aim of making 'fruit' more fun to eat. As parents themselves, they felt that children did not eat enough fresh fruit and vegetables and struggled to reach the recommended five a day Dried fruits, such as raisins and apricots were not popular with their children and were not available in their favourite flavours such as strawberry and blackcurrant. Ian and Paul set out to develop high fruit...
