Powakaddy Freeway Titanium Sport Digital

Advantages: Quality
Disadvantages: Price

...I did quite a lot of research before plumping for this. Lured by the idea of finishing 18 holes while still feeling quite fresh I dug deep and spent what I consider to be a lot of money - £530 - for the trolley together with a Powakaddy Deluxe bag, Rain Cover & Unbrella Holder. This was no easy decision, I am in my 30's and regularly play with guys in their 50's and 60's who manfully battle on with a carry bag so I knew I'd get some stick. And I have to say, it was a great decision. And I think that secretly my playing partners are quite jealous. I have always considered Powakaddy to be the Rolls Royce of powered trolleys and so far my perception has proved correct. I have friends who spent £150 - £200 on other makes and their experience has been woeful, it's all too often back at the manufacturers being repaired under warranty rather...

Review of PowaKaddy Freeway

Everything But The Kitchen Sink

Advantages: Spacious, good looking, durable, easy to handle. Well priced.
Disadvantages: Not a lot!

...caddying for a top player.) ~ ~ In order to get this lot around a seven mile or so stretch of golf course it?s necessary for the serious golfer to have a large golf bag that is up to the task of holding everything they require. That?s why I am currently using the Powakaddy Cart Bag Deluxe. Apart from being great value for money (more about price later) it?s also designed specifically for use with Powakaddy?s electric golf trolley (that I also use) which it fits onto like the proverbial glove. It also fits perfectly onto most pull and electric trolleys on the market, and onto the rear bag section of ride-on golf carts, which I now use more extensively since I entered the ?senior ranks? in order to save energy. ~ ~ The bag is manufactured from a hard-wearing brushed nylon type material, and comes in basic black with a wide choice...

Bag and baggage

Advantages: I don't have one
Disadvantages: I don't have one

...While awaiting inspiration for a new review, I remembered that this one was overdue for an update. Although I rewrote it a year or so ago for Dooyoo, to include selected items from handbag reviews posted over there, I never got round to revising the Ciao version. So here it is. All the articles mentioned appeared in reviews by women on one site or the other. * What have I in my handbag? I mustn't tell you lies; In truth the only bags I own Are those beneath my eyes. You don't need special insight, No expertise in rockets, To guess that, being just a man, I keep stuff in my pockets. But if I now said: "Nothing! So there, and that?s your lot!" You might not feel satisfied And rate this Helpful ? Not. * In any case, the subject Has made me realise how Much women carry in their bags...

Review of What's in my bag?

Tribute to a Golf

Advantages: Great car, good fuel economy, well built - and extremely safe
Disadvantages: No real huge disadvantages

...I've owned my Golf TDI S for almost 5 years now, and I've been really pleased with it. Unfortunately my insurance company have purchased the car back from me following a 7 vehicle pile up (not my fault!). However, I thought I'd put the experience to good use and tell you not only about how great the car is as a drive, but also show how well it can stand up to a battering. The car looks good. There's no getting away from it: when VW bring out a new shape of the Golf I invariably don't like it, but given a few weeks to get used to it, and it really grows on you. On the outside the car comes in a range of colours (I'd opted for a nice metallic blue on mine), with the mirrors and part of the bumper finished in the same colour. There are no front foglights as standard, but there are fog lights fitted to the rear. There's also...

Bags of jiffy bag envelopes

Advantages: padds some fragile goods
Disadvantages: not suitable for glass

...I received a DVD in a jiffy bag recently opened the bag carefully and put the bag ready to reuse with about 20 other old jiffy bags I have ready for recycling. Actually I am not sure that all of them are genuine jiffy bags but they are the same sort of thing. Jiffy bags made by Jiffy have been available for several years now I think they go back to the 1950?s. Jiffy bags are handy padded envelope bags that can be bought in a variety of sizes some as small as to 164 x 285mm, then several sizes upwards to 247 x 387mm, probably even larger ones available. The original bag is a golden brown heavy duty paper. The padded filling can be as simple as shredded paper. The envelope closures are one you peel to reveal a sticky surface this will then stick to seal the bag and contents. Some jiffy bags are filled with a macerated...

Wonderfuel Golf

Advantages: Economy with performance
Disadvantages: Limited rear legroom

...VW Golf TDi Over the years, many enthusiasts have come to regard the Volkswagen Golf as the ultimate in hatchback design – the latest golf is no exception. In its Tdi guise, the Mk IV is able to offer excellent performance that is combined with fantastic economy and emissions that will make the plants smile! We all know that when you buy Golf, you get a basic car, well engineered and built, but a bit lacking in the extra comforts. Well, not any more. The latest version is packed with creature comforts such as front and rear electric windows, electrically adjustable and heated mirrors, electric sunroof, brilliant radio (the faster you go the louder it gets – its also programmable so that traffic programmes can be stored in memory and played back to help avoid the jams) – and air conditioning. There are also...

For Golf Nuts Everywhere

Advantages: Superbly edited and written. Full of interesting features.
Disadvantages: Blasted throw away adverts.

...is published on a monthly basis. The publishers are a company called ?Emap Magazines? who are based in Peterborough in England, and the editor is a self-confessed golf nut called David Clarke. ~ ~ Golf World includes everything in its 160 to 200 glossy pages that a suffering golf addict could possibly need to assuage the twitches and withdrawal pangs they suffer when they are removed from their natural environment of the golf links. It contains reviews of all the latest equipment, whether it be balls, bags, shoes or clubs, and gives you price guidelines so you can see whether or not they are within your budget. This month there?s a very interesting piece that warns players about new rules that have been introduced by the Royal and Ancient (golf?s ruling body) which will see many of today?s high technology drivers being outlawed...

Review of Golf World

Grobag baby sleeping bags are fantastic!

Advantages: easy to use, helpful, fantastic ranges
Disadvantages: may look a little like a dress on boys!

...The grobag is a fantastic invention which stops the constant getting up and down in the night to put the blankets back over your baby when they manage to kick them off in the night. Grobags are baby sleeping bags which fasten at the shoulders and are worn almost like a dress/dungarees. They come in different thickness- Tog rating- like a quilt. So you are able to decide which tog rating is needed, for example, in the summer when it's warm you will only need a 1tog or if it's colder you may need a 3tog. They come in different patterns and designs so you may chose whether you want a girlie pink one or a boy blue one etc. The main purpose of these grobags is to stop the baby from getting cold during the night as they may do with a blanket. Babies do not sleep soundly constantly, they do toss and turn and are able to shift themselves...

Review of Grobag Sleeping Bag

VW Golf SE TDI 90bhp

Advantages: Quality and a refined driving experience.
Disadvantages: Not the fastest car on the road by any means.

...It took a while to locate a car with the specification I was looking for, (a Volkswagen Golf TDI SE 5 door hatch 90 bhp - in either silver or green, and within my budget of £10,500), even by using the VW website and doing whole country searches. I had already called in at all of my local dealers (Ipswich, Colchester, Stowmarket, Lowestoft) and was told that they are often sold even before they even appear on the garage forecourt or the VW website. Hearing this was rather off-putting, but I continued my search and in April 2003 a suitable car appeared on the website at Simpson's Garage, Lowestoft. One phone call and an hour later I was on my way for a viewing and a test drive. My car is in 'bright green' which was an option at extra cost. (I would describe it more accurately as dark green, rather like the British Racing Green...

Vaccum Storage Bags

Advantages: Space Saving Ideas for Home and Abroad
Disadvantages: None I can think of

...I love this idea, whoever thought this up is a genius. A lot of families have storage problems my main pain in the backside is lack of room for excess bedding that i keep spare for guests and what not, So this is magnificent, how the air can be sucked out of the bag with any pipe vacuum cleaner and reduce the size of package to less than a quarter of the size. Brilliant for duvets and pillows i might add and to top it all off it keeps all those bugs away and when you do unpack them they smell as good as the day you washed them and put the items in there. Excellent I would rate these to anybody you can even use them for going abroad and storing your much loved items and reducing space which we all know must happen when traveling on a plane think of the goodies you can bring back !! Although I have never tries them in my suitcase while...
