Plugged In? Too right!

Advantages: 30 years of maximum rock'n'roll!
Disadvantages: none whatsoever, nada, zilch, nowt.

...There are 2 versions of this DVD box set - the 'normal' one has 2 discs and the 'collectors' edition has 3 discs, this review is for the collectors edition. AC/DC.... for most rock fans the name conjures up many images and memories... guitarist Angus Young and his trademark schoolboy outfit and bluesy solos... Bon Scott's cheeky on (and off)stage persona and raucous vocals... the double entendre laden lyrics from both singers.... Brian Johnson's Geordie accent and flat cap... the Hell's Bell, thecannons..., Malcolm Young's stunning rythym guitar, Cliff Williams and Phil Rudd's thundering bass and drums.. and most importantly, the sense of fun an AC/DC concert always was... All of these and much, much more, are to be found on this superb 3 DVD set. For those of you not in the know, the music of AC/DC has always been straight ahead...

Review of AC/DC - Plug Me In (Box Set) (DVD)

The Plug, Sheffield

Advantages: Good venue, excellent location
Disadvantages: Long queues, varied nights so each night won't appeal to everyone

...The Plug is located above a block of offices right in the heart of the city centre and since opening its doors a few years ago it has established itself as one of the most popular venues in the city. It is a large club split into three different rooms; cleverly called Live, Earth and Neutral. Live is the room where most of the live bands play and there is a stage and a room large enough to accommodate around 500 people standing. The other two rooms are usually used to play different styles of music but the design of the place means that it is possible to remove the false walls and create one large room with a capacity of around 1200. I seen a few live acts here including Jarvis Cocker and Glasvegas and on both of these occasions it was just one large room rather than the three smaller ones. There are different theme nights held...

Review of Plug, Sheffield

**The Smell of Haze in the Home**

Advantages: Lovely Smell.
Disadvantages: The Cost of The Thing

...I needed some sort of air freshener for my flat and I had it on my shopping list to buy a couple of weeks ago. I was stood looking for a while in the cleaning aisle of Tesco's when this Air Wick Aromatherapy Plug In Air freshener jumped out at me. We only have a small flat with not many windows, we try to circulate the air as much as possible but if we are out for a whole day the place does start to smell slightly musty. I thought this product would be perfect for the times we are not in as we can leave it plugged in and you can set the output of smell up to high or change it down to low labelled on the plug as 1 to 5. Price and Packaging ------------------------- This was slightly more expensive than all of the other air fresheners on the shelf especially the ones I usually buy (but those ones don't seem to work that well...

Review of Haze Airwick Aromatherapy Plug In

Gives your holes a damn good plugging.

Advantages: Eliminate most noise, comfortable.
Disadvantages: Do not eliminate Irish mothers.

...and take to the streets. Now, I don't begrudge anyone a party but when the housing estate that backs onto my street have a massive bonfire, hire the kind of sound system that puts Glastonbury to shame and put out a call to arms for the most spectacularly stupid and uninspired DJ ever to lay his hand on the decks ('Alright lads! This is DJ Loyalist Larry from the Orange massive! Mark? Your Ma says you're to have your tea before you go to the bonfire. Right folks, let's burn the pope to the sounds of, erm, Amy Winehouse. Yeah!') and they're still going strong at 3 in the morning, ear plugs are called for. Aside, though, from the obvious 'helping you to get to sleep' benefits of ear plugs, they do have another, rather vital, use: without ear plugs it's likely that my mother and I would have come to blows long ago. The trick, I have...

Review of Boots Soft Disposable Ear Plugs

Sink plug in the ears

Advantages: High quality sound
Disadvantages: Not as comfy

...of the vertical position makes it feels heavier than normal. Also the round shape of the earphones seems to get in the way. Many earphones come in hybrid silicone rubber ear buds now, so does this. The rubber is suppose to seal in the ears, first for comfort, and secondly to decrease a lot more of external sound. Maybe I am old fashion, but I do prefer the older design of the plastic. The rubber feels like having a sink plug in the ears. Extra There are 3 sizes of the ear buds. There is pair of small, medium and large. An extension cord of 0.9m is included. The earphone comes with a small carry case for use when the earphones are not in use. Unless you do not mind laying the earphones around, you could keep it safe in the case. Price Date: 10/08/09 Retail price is £29.99 but amazon.co.uk is offering it for £28.53 and John...

Review of Sony MDR-EX300SLB

Plug In Bellamy

Advantages: Consistency of tracks, nice guitar work, can be heavy
Disadvantages: Overblown? Falsetto overkill?

...Origin of Symmetry opens quietly with the piano arpeggios of single, 'New Born'. Note Matthew Bellamy's noisy breath intake (his style). Thankfully, this is a rock record and soon, with a distorted guitar riff he signals the band to do what they do best (that is rock by the way). As the drop D riff relies on a chord progression to get anywhere, none of the parts of the song stood out to me - thus making for a good but not great start to the album. Of the other singles, 'Bliss', with it's 3 octave synth chord ascend-descends, has nicely bass-driven verses, as does 'Hyper Music', the latter making a double A-sided single with a cover of 'Feeling Good' which, not only rocks but has a section where Matt delivers a verse through megaphone. 'Plug In Baby' sees clever use of an harmonic minor scale for it's guitar leads and the vocal outside...

East fit smoke alarm

Advantages: No need to keep replacing batteries
Disadvantages: You need a suitable light fitting in the right place.

...larger particles of smoke produced by slow-burning fires, such as smouldering foam-filled upholstery and overheated PVC wiring. They are marginally less sensitive to free burning flaming fires. Alternatively there are combined smoke detectors on the market. It all sounded quite complicated to me and it would appear that to be fully safe you should either get one of each or a combined alarm. I was happy enough to have two the only problem being that I didn't want too many things fixed to the ceiling so I was quite pleased when I saw a Fire Angel Plug-in Smoke Alarm in a catalogue. About the Fire Angel Plug-in Smoke Alarm Basically this is an Ionisation Alarm that fits into a standard light fitting without any need for DIY skills. If you can change a light bulb you can fit one of these. It fits standard bayonet light...

The Big Switch On

Advantages: A television advertisement that I would rather forget.
Disadvantages: Nerve jangling advertisement

...Glade Electric otherwise known as Glade Plug-Ins, a posh name for what is in fact a pretty ordinary product. It never ceases to amaze me, take a look along the shelves in our local Wilkinson's store and there are a million and one air fresheners in every shape and size that you can think of to choose from. Don't get me wrong here, I am not moaning, in fact I love the idea of air freshener, it's just the price that is the killer. Have you tried one of those Glade Touch and Fresh sprays yet ? I handed over £2.60 at my local Wilkinson's store for the Soft petal fragrance, granted it came along with a free refill but though the idea is great if you wanted to use it on a permanent basis then it would be an expensive do. While I'm on the subject of Glade Touch and Fresh, have you seen the television advertisement that they have used to...

Plug It In To Your Wiimote

Advantages: Another decent controller from Nintendo
Disadvantages: The cable, the Price

...The Nintendo Wii hasn't just led the way with their innovative main controller but with the second controller, the Nunchuck, they have gone one step beyond Xbox and Sony. For the majority of the Wii's games they make use of both controllers to ensure that you use both hands to control the games. While the Wiimote seems to hold all the wireless and movement technology, the Nunchuck is equally as advanced. With the Wii mote in your right hand the idea of the Nunchuck is to involve your other hand in the game as well. It is connected to the Wiimote by wire, which plugs simply into the bottom of the Wiimote, making it all quite simple to connect up. With the addition of the Nunchuck you then get an additional three controls for all the games. Once connected to the Wiimote it also then becomes a movement sensor and your actions using...

Review of NINTENDO Nunchuck Controller - game pad

If my sheets smelt like this I would change my washing powder!

Advantages: Plug in and forget about them
Disadvantages: Smell too strong and I didn't like it

...Yankee candles are at the forefront of candlemaking and are always the leaders in coming up with new ideas. The plug in fragrances are fairly new on the market and make an ideal alternative to conventional candles. Inside the box you will find a glass bottle containing the essential oils and this is attached to the plug in bit. The unit also has a white shade on top which makes it look rather attractive as well as acting as a cover for the bottle. There are three power levels on the unit so you can choose how much fragrance is released. In a small room level one would be enough and in a larger room level three. Obviously you plug the unit into an electric socket and away you go. Within a few minutes the fragrance begins to come through. ***What Yankee Candles say*** Invigorate your home with the Clean Cotton Electric Home...
