Plastic Cup Politics

Advantages: Some excellent 'anthems' from Gainesville's Ska Punk's
Disadvantages: Horn section is not as prevalent as with previous albums

...varying degrees of success, I do feel that better singles could have been chosen from the album than the two that were released. 'Plastic Cup Politics' is a live favourite from the 'Anthem' album which could easily have proven a commercial success had it been marketed as such. The track has great strength and immense catchiness, characteristics which would have made it a perfect candidate for commercial release. The track comes late on in the album, yet comes firing on all cylinders with full vigour; a musical powerhouse of a track which jolts and jerks throughout its two and a half minute duration, remaining just as intense and pressing throughout every second. The track is not to be missed, and if you're not familiar with this track or in fact with the music of Less Than Jake then I thoroughly suggest that you acquaint yourself...

Simple Plastic Cafetiere

Advantages: Simple, easy to clean
Disadvantages: Still needs cleaning after use..........

...of a paper filter, coffee brewed with a cafetiere captures more of the coffee's flavour and essential oils, which would have become trapped in a traditional drip brew machine's paper filter. Cafetiere pressed coffee is usually stronger and thicker and has more sediment than drip-brewed coffee. As the used grounds remain in the drink after brewing, cafetiere pressed coffee should be served immediately so as to not become bitter from over-extraction. Contents in a typical 8-cup cafetiere is considered expired after 20 minutes Coffee for use in a French press should be of a consistent, coarse grind. A cafetiere is also more portable and self contained than other coffee makers. Brewing the Perfect Cup I have owned a standard Bodum 8 cup plastic cover model for many years. Although less attractive than the fancy stainless steel jacketed...

Chicken & Leek in a Cup

Advantages: a quick snack
Disadvantages: none

...For the past few days I have been unwell with a migraine headache so I haven`t really wanted to eat much food. As I had skipped breakfast yesterday morning and my stomach was complaining I decided to have a cup a soup. Chicken and Leek Cup a Soup There are 5 sackets of soup inside a cardboard box, the box is blue and orange in colour and there is a picure of the soup in a mug. You can also see a picture of chicken, leek and onions, on top of the box you will find the best before date and opening the box is very easy. It says on the box that there are no artifical colours or flavourings, that the soup is low in fat and sugar. On the back of the box are simple instructions on how to make the soup, each sachet contains a powder, just open the sachet and pour into a cup. Then add the hot water and give a very good stir...

Review of Batchelors Cup a Soup

The alternative cup

Advantages: It might just happen this way
Disadvantages: Most unlikely

...All I hear is "ENGLAND, ENGLAND" wherever I go at the mo. "We're gonna win the cup". Right, ok. In your little pretend world, maybe but for the realists, getting out of the group will be an achievement. So for those of you that want to go along the "Mickey Mouse" England World Cup Winners Route, here is the real Mickey Mouse results. Group A France, Senegal, Uruguay, Denmark. The opening game sees France entertaining the upstart Senegal Team. Knowing that the Senegalese team will be a pushover, the French decide to field a select 11 and rest their main players for later rounds of the world cup. This means They are going with a 4-4-2 formation with Jean Paul Gaultier and Antoine from Eurotrash as the main strike force. Fabien Barthez even misses the game and lets Lovelable Resistance Fighter Rene Artois from Allo Allo to take...

Review of The Cup

great cup!

Advantages: easy!
Disadvantages: may spill!

...I really like this little beaker! Both my nephew and my baby use these and they both got the hang of them really early on and with such ease! Babies need to learn to drink out of mugs and cups instead of just from a bottle. It's important they learn how to drink without just sucking at a teet and I tried alsorts of beakers to try to get my baby and nephew to learn this skill and none of them seemed to work. They both would choke a lot or just pushed it away and weren't interested. Eventually I tried this one and it's been the best we've had! It's easy to use, you just fill it up and snap on the lid. The spout can fold back to prevent leaks although it isn't fool proof and my bag is often damp in the bottom or my car keys covered in juice so be warned! I wrap it in a muslin cloth now when I put it in my bag-good tip there...

Review of Tommee Tippee First Cup (4 Months +)

The magic of The Cup

Advantages: great cup competition,traditional, Small teams can beat the biggest teams
Disadvantages: semi finals at Wembley? not good idea -should only be final!

...The Fa Cup is the oldest football competition and is steeped in history. It is such a great tradition in English football and is run by the FA (Football Association) in England. The first Fa Cup final was all the way back in the 1871-72 season. The reason why the Fa cup is so special is because it involves clubs of all standards including non-league clubs. This allows meetings of top teams against so called 'giant killers' who are the lower league teams. The Fa Cup is a knockout tournament with ties for each round drawn at random. There are no seeds so this means any teams left in the draw at any stage can draw any team. The home team is drawn first and the away team second. If the resulting game is drawn by the two teams, there is a replay (at the Ground for the team away in first tie) with extra time and penalties used to...

Review of Fa Cup competition

MOOOsic to my ears, a cup.... that doesn't leak!

Advantages: Non spill, funky design, easy to hold
Disadvantages: Spout cover is loose, can stain

...! On the back where the instructions for use etc, and on the front the "Amadeus" logo of a hand and the Cow Cup logo. Design The Cow Cup is a baby beaker which holds 300ml of liquid. On the outside of the cup it has a funky black and white cow hide print which is very eye catching. It has two large handles so its easy to grasp for little hands. The cup is hard and cannot be squeezed. As its made of plastic, its easy to clean and wipeable. The spout is black, and its tough. It has 3 holes for the liquid to be sucked out. The cup comes with a lid/cover for the spout when its not being used or for on the move - however I see this as its only design fault as the spout cover doesn't clip on, it merely rests over the spout and many a time it has fallen off in my babies change bag and I've had to rummage through to find it, sometimes its...

Review of Healthy Eating Cow Cup

Hooray for the Magic Cup!

Advantages: No leaks, easy to use
Disadvantages: hard to clean

...This has easily got to be one of the best purchases that i have ever made for my son. When he was being weaned, i came across these in offer and thought i'd give them a go. I had bought several other cups for him, but they were just no good because no matter how hard he tried he just culdn't get any juice out of them. No problems with this one, he got the hang of it almost immediately. So, what exactly are they? From the age of 3 months they sell a 200ml version, which consists of a coloured drink cup with a different coloured lid which screws on. The lid has a plastic spout to drink from, and inside the lid there is a clear piece of plastic which acts as a valve, and it is this wonderful little valve which keeps the liquid from spilling everywhere. There is also a clear plastic top to put over the spout. The cup retails...

Review of Avent Magic Cup

Tefal quick cup

Advantages: Energy saver. Only heat what you want. Filtered water.
Disadvantages: Water not hot enough to make a Pot noodle.

...My son bought me this the week before christmas so I could enjoy it while he sunned himself in Moroco. Anyway to the unit itself. Well boxed so no way it was going to get damaged if posted somewhere. At first glance out of the box it looks nothing like a kettle as you know it. The only work you have to do when its out of the box is to fit the filter into the water tank. Its not easy if you have big hands. Mine are average and I still found it hard to turn the filter clockwise to fit it into the holder. When its in though thats it. You first fill up the onboard water resevoire, either by taking of the molded plastic cover and using another jug to pour water in, or you can lift the tank off and putting it under the tap. Either way works just fine. To get a cup of hot water all you need do is to put your cup under the spout...
