Polar time!

Advantages: cute story
Disadvantages: /

...When I was younger I always had my nose in a book. Being the huge animal lover I was, I often chose to read books about animals. The Animal Ark book series was very popular with me, and one of the titles was Polar Bears on the Path. Although you should never judge a book by its cover, I always do, so it is important that it looks quite good! This cover is very attractive indeed. There is a gorgeous image of polab bears huddled together, looking adorable. Behind them there is a land of snow, the ground blanketed by the fresh whiteness. It looks so peaceful and heavenly, it drew me in straight away. The cover is definitely a winner with me. The book is about Mandy Hope, whose parets are vets, and her best friend James. They find a lost polar bear and have to return it to its family. But will they be able to help it finds its way back...

Review of Polar Bears On The Path - Lucy Daniels

Perfect polar!

Advantages: cute
Disadvantages: retired

...TY Beanies are adorable, there is no wonder my friends and I were crazy for these little soft toys! The TY beanies came in all sorts of varieties, whether animal or bear. They each had their own special name, and between us, my friends and I owned and could name pretty much every one going! One of the teddies is a polar bear named Fridge. Although naming a beanie after a household appliance may seem strange, Fridge is an appropriate name. Fridges are cold, and so is the climate of the polar bear habitats. To look at, Fridge is adorable. He has a very sweet little face that looks slightly upset and can draw a tear to your eye. He sits on his rear end, leaning forward slightly. His fur is a gorgeous fresh white colour, very pure. There is no doubt about it, Fridge looks perfect. To the touch, Fridge has very soft fur. It is quite thin...

The Polar Express

Advantages: great christmas film
Disadvantages: not so good after christmas

...The Polar Express DVD I was bought this film for Christmas from my mum as I was complaining that before Christmas I had nothing to watch that would get me into the Christmas spirit. Apart from sitting watching Alistair Sims version of scrooge with my dad which in my view is not giving as much Christmas spirit as it should. Anyhow it being February now nearly March I thought it time I watched it. Seeing as I'm on my sick bed from work and too skint to afford any more blockbuster movies this is one in my collection that i had yet to watch so shoved it on to see what it was all about. The first thing I noticed when beginning to watch this film is that Tom Hanks appears to do most of the adult voices and appears as many a different character. The film starts with a young boy at home on Christmas Eve and wondering really if...

Polar - Bare facts

Advantages: Keeping your heart rate monitored is really easy
Disadvantages: Gym instructors think I'm time-watching!

...The Polar M32 is one of many Polar heart monitors available to very keen sports people. They are useful, also, to us geriatrics who decide to exercise more than we used to, and are rightly anxious about whether or not our hearts are about to rebel at the sudden stresses being applied. They are also quite attractive to gadget freaks and those determined to persuade others that the daily trips to David Lloyd's are more than just a passing fad.! Each monitor has slightly different functions - and prices. If you are going to invest about £80 for one of these machines, you need to check which is most suitable. Do you need it on under water? Will more than one person in the family use it? and so on. 1 Appearances ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ In common with most of the Polar range, the monitor looks like a watch with a rectangular face. Mine is...

Top Gear The Polar Special

Advantages: Hilarious,cheap to buy
Disadvantages: could have done to have extra features,as per usual with T.G DVDS

...(Forgive me if this is slightly rusty..its been a while since my last review!) The Top Gear lads are back in business, with the release of their eagerley anticipated challenge, 'The Polar Special'. I first saw this,along with the American Special going on for about a year ago now,and as expected from the team,was in stitches when I saw it. Only Jeremy Clarkson,James May and the Hamster could be daft enough to consider racing to the North Pole and actually pull it off! I first heard they had released this on DVD about a month ago,yet I believe its been on sale for about six months. I scanned internet shops,such as Ebay,Amazon and H.M.V....ebay working out the cheapest,which always seems to be the way. The DVD came in two forms,a single DVD,which I am reviewing and a double box set consisting of both the Polar and the American...

Review of Top Gear: Polar Special

Food for thought at the Polar Bar

Advantages: Great food at a reasonable price
Disadvantages: The terrace is facing a main road

...At first I had an extremely dim view of the Polar Bar. I'd only been there for a drink a couple of times and found the staff to be over worked and stressed and the cost of a glass of wine enough to warrant a re-mortgage on the house. However a year on and I have visited the Polar Bar on no less than 10 occassions in the last couple of months and not once have I been disappointed. The Polar Bar is situated on Wilbraham Road, Chrolton. Considering the competition in Chorlton the Polar Bar still seems to fend off all rivals with tantalising dishes. The Polar bar consists mainly of Chorltonians (residents of Chorlton and the surrounding area) and for those of you who are not familiar with Chorlton, chorltonians are a mixed bunch of students, hippys, business men and women, rich house wives with many children and the youth of today...

Review of Polar Bar

The Polar A1

Advantages: Comfortable, ECG accurate, cheap
Disadvantages: No extra features

...I have had this Heart Rate for 2 months now (since mid jan) and absolutely love it. Despite being an aspiring athlete aiming for high performance, I was also on a very tight budget and found that many of the other features available in some of the more expensive models (I found this for £35) just weren't really necessary. All you need for training using an HRM is to know your heart rate, not calories expended or fat burned, it is very simple to work out what levels to exercise at with guidance from the instruction booklet provided. This is the cheapest and most reliable form of HRM that you are going to find. Polar are a world renowned brand and the product is of top quality, the strap worn is comfortable and you soon forget that you are wearing it, yet provides ECG accurate heart rates. FEATURES: Heart rate in real time...

Review of Polar Beat Heart Rate Monitor

Polar RS100 Heart Rate Monitor

Advantages: Just like having your own personal trainer
Disadvantages: A little tricky to work out to start with

...Polar RS100 Heart Rate Monitor This is the second heart rate monitor that i have bought, the first one was years ago and on the rare occaision it did pick up your pulse it went completely wrong if you were near anything electrical or any other heart rate monitors. Bearing this in mind i was a liitle wary of getting another but i have currently started training to complete a half marathon and depending on how well it goes i may enter a full marathon so i thought it was high time i got myself kitted out. I have to say, times have definately changed, this monitor just everything you could ever ask (except for the running)! The Polar RS100 heart rate monitor has its own code to avoid unwanted interference meaning you can be in a room with ten other monitors and yours is the only pulse it picks up It features an easy press lap...

Review of Polar RS100 Heart Rate Monitors

Talking Polar Bears!?!?!

Advantages: Some good special effects
Disadvantages: Poor ending, repetitive, poor acting by some

...itself and soon it becomes her mission is that of finding the whereabouts of the golden compass. Lyra enlists the help of an ice bear to help her on her quest to find and save the missing children and guard the golden compass. Where have all these missing children gone and what is to be the fate of the golden compass? My Thoughts Not being familiar with the novels on which this film was based I cannot comment on the similarity between books and film. After doing a bit of research I discovered that quite a bit of controversy surrounded this film in the Catholic church regarding the films portrayal of the human spirit. For goodness sake, this film has talking polar bears who fight wearing armour and human spirits in the form of talking ferrets who can morph themselves into bugs and birds! The special effects in this film are...
