Really a 'Premium Selection'?

Advantages: Some really tasty biscuits
Disadvantages: Some really average biscuits, packaging, price might be an issue for some too.

...I will confess that I think I was born with a sweet tooth, in fact, more than just the one. I've always loved chocolate covered treats ever since I was a young girl and biscuits were always at the top of my break time menu when I was still stuck in primary school. As I've gotten a bit older, my love for the sugary snacks has altered a little; I don't eat biscuits of any kind very often but when I do, it is always when I really do crave their sweetness and delicious contents. One of the first things that drew me to Sainsbury's Premium Chocolate and Cream Biscuits was the fact that there was a good selection to choose from and, as the name implies, a little bit special compared to some of the other brands out there. Variety is the spice of life but would these biscuits be the sweetness of mine? WHAT DO YOU GET WITH SAINSBURY...

PREMIUM BONDS - Updated

Advantages: Something for everyone no matter how small
Disadvantages: Perhaps not exciting these days

...Premium Bonds have had a varied reputation. Born against considerable political opposition, they have now been around for fifty years. In some eyes they are considered ?naff? ? something that used to be given to the kids for christening presents, but which are now ?old hat?, boring, expensive. However they are one of the secret weapons of the successful entrepreneur. Premium Bonds are a government backed security and as such your initial investment is safe. The prizes are tax free. If you read the serious financial papers or talk to a personal investment advisor in these days of very low interest and inflation rates generally, many will suggest a holding of Premium Bonds as a hedge in an all-round balanced portfolio. Although the nominal interest rate may be low, it is still quite competitive compared with the average Building Society...

Windows Vista Home Premium

Advantages: Speed, Durabliity, Function, less memory use & ease of Use
Disadvantages: Some product in-compatible

...Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium is far better that any version of windows I have used, to start at the beginning the installation is more automated and easier, making a quicker installation, although in my opinion I would not recommend an upgrade, but moreover a clean install, I would also recommend you installing Microsoft compatibility software, which can be downloaded from their website. If there is incompatible software, its a nightmare to remove and correct, i.e. when I first installed I did a direct upgrade only to find my SATA drives (64 bit incompatibility only) and Zone Alarm Internet Security was incompatible (later editions compatible, except when running 64 bit architecture). Some Software after the direct upgrade could not be removed as the Install/Uninstall programs had been removed by the upgrade (These...

Premium's are precious!

Advantages: Something for everyone, delicious biscuits
Disadvantages: No nutrition information, probably very high calorie

...Well I have to say, when I saw the Product Of The Week yesterday was Sainsbury's Premium Chocolate and Cream Biscuits, I knew what had to be done. Weirdly enough, we had these biscuits in our house about three weeks back, however I had only sampled some of them! There were about 6 of them for me still to try. So yesterday morning we set of to Sainsbury's (much to my persuasion) for the some shopping. My mum decided that she wanted some of Sainsbury's special coffee aswell, so it was settled. Among that, we would be purchasing the biscuits. I set off in an attempt to find the little delights hidden on a shelf somewhere. I arrived at the biscuit aisle, full of anticipation. I scowered the various biscuits; the plain, the cream, the jam, the organic, the chocolate, and thats when I spotted them... Sitting in between the larger...

my review on windows vista home premium

Advantages: easy to use not very advanced
Disadvantages: sometimes slow and hard to recover in some cases

...hi im lewis i love computers and love everything about them i think that windows vista home premium is better than xp in some ways such as it has more capabilities eg: media centre,dvd maker etc. and is perfect for home users that want just that little bit more although it does have its problems such as it is very hard to fix if it goes wrong it does not contain things such as accessible administrator accounts in safe mode (the core admin) and recovery console and most of all there is no ms-dos programs such as cmd.exe in the start up options to help fix things say for example it got a virus it could well be very hard to fix but on the upside vista home premium is better for average computer users who enjoy working sharing photos and music if you are a begginer in computing i recommend windows xp home edition or vista basic or starter as...

Vista home premium

Advantages: fast once logged on, reliable, easy to use, cool look
Disadvantages: takes 10 seconds longer than xp to get to log in point

...Recently I decided that it was time to upgrade my old pc, windows vista had been out for about 6 months and so I decided if I was going to splash out on a pc id have on that was more up to date so I had vista home premium as my OS. I got a pc that was up to the recommended spec for vista home premium. I had 1 GB of Ram a 3.0 GHz processor and a 256 GB graphics card. This was about 2 x the speed of my old windows XP computer so I expected it to be quite powerful. When my computer arrived I was quite shocked that a computer twice the speed takes longer to start than my previous one. I decided it was probably due to config but shockingly it wasn't. In actually fact it was down to the operating system. Vista is in fact a greedy OS so if you do buy it id recommend that you get one with at least a 3.0ghz processor, 1gb of ram and a 256mb...

Premium Chocolate Selection

Advantages: Choice and taste
Disadvantages: Chocolate buscuits sometimes stick together

...fault the taste, quality and presentation of the selection pack. I certainly will be substituting my various different packets for this selection pack in the future and by doing this I will be saving money. Was there anything missing from the choice? I thought about this and the only thing I could think of was a shortbread type of biscuit or a digestive type of plain biscuit. I think this selection pack is ideal for tea breaks and when you have guests so you can offer them a quality choice without them ever needing to know that they came from one pack. I strongly recommend these as a surprisingly high quality inexpensive biscuit selection for all occasions. They for me certainly lived up to their name of Premium Biscuit Selection. Thanks all spaniels1...

The Name's Bond...Premium Bond

Advantages: Risk free lottery
Disadvantages: Return relies on having "average luck"

..."There are two times in a man's life when he should not speculate: when he can't afford it, and when he can" - Mark Twain. Premium Bonds are a curious affair; part investment and part gamble, they are an almost-lottery run through National Savings and Investments, and backed by the government itself. I had until recently paid scant attention to them, until a chance conversation with my mother revealed that I had in fact owned a set of Premium Bonds since my 1st birthday, when my parents decided that some money given as a gift by my grandparents would be better placed into the bonds than into the savings account that they had opened for me. Having suddenly discovered this new dimension to my investment portfolio, I headed off to find out more about them. The Premium Bond scheme was started back in 1956, it turned out, when...

Review of National Savings and Investments Premium Bonds

Premium Bonds: A good investment?

Advantages: Winning a varied amount of money
Disadvantages: You need to invest a lot of money to guarantee consistent wins

...Although I'm not a very lucky person when it comes to these things I thought I'd write about it and let those of you out there that are unaware of what these are give you a little insight into them and my opinion on the matter. Premium bonds are another form of tax free investment that anyone aged 16 or above can invest in with a chance of scooping one of two million pound prizes as well as numerous others every month. Currently an investor can purchase anything from a £100 block to the maximum holding of £30,000. I must make everyone aware now that anyone lucky enough to have the maximum holding is almost certainly going to receive at least one prize every month. The prizes are as follows and are normally drawn within the first day or two of the month by ERNIE (Electronic Random Number Indicator Equipment)... ~Prizes~ Higher...
