Really a 'Premium Selection'?

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

...'S PREMIUM CHOCOLATE AND CREAM BISCUITS? Within the pack there are twelve different types of biscuits, but do you know what the most fun is? Guessing what they are! Sainsbury's, in my opinion, kind of slipped up here as it isn't especially clear which biscuit is which and, in turn, this might actually be quite bad for somebody who say is allergic to orange flavoured fillings, or - like myself - somebody that isn't overly keen on them. None the less, between the 400g of biscuits, there is approximately three of each one to choose from which certainly isn't bad considering the number of varieties that there are included here. However, some people would say that when considering the price that this is a bit steep but as they are meant to be the best of the best, I thought it was an acceptable amount as there were 33 biscuits altogether within...

Review of Sainsbury's Premium Chocolate and Cream Biscuits

Premium's are precious!

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

...packs of assorted packs of biscuits, sat a mainly blue packet. On the top of the pack was a delightful picture of the biscuits contained inside. Most of the biscuits were chocolatey, however the ones which were not were either loaded with cream, or filled fully with jam! The picture looked mouth-watering and my little brothers were glad I had decided I wanted them! Underneath the glorious looking picture was the Sainsbury's "logo", and underneath we were told that these were "Premium Chocolate and Cream Selection". We are also told that the biscuits are worth 400g, I thought this was quite good for a weight. Arriving at the check out, we were faced with the cost. On the shelf I hadn't looked to check what the price was and now I was beggining to get a bit anxious. All was okay however when the sum of £2.49 flashed up on the till. They...

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...

Bakugan Battle Pack

Advantages: Will keep kids amused for hours - good value for money
Disadvantages: Game quite complicated for younger children

...defeat evil and protect their core. Sound complicated? It is! My 6 year old understands far better than me what the game is about, though my knowledge is increasing slowly! Bakugan action figures are available in many different colours and when opened up each dragon is a different style. Bakugans can be brought as singular figures or in packs, though they are not cheap. A single Bakugan and two cards will cost £4.99, so if your child wants the complete set of Bakugans, you may wish to re-mortgage your house as there are loads to choose from. Each Bakugan has its own name such as Hydronoid, Dragonoid, Skyrus, Apollonir and Delta Dragonoid. Each Bakugan is part of a set which is controlled by a child in the programme. Each child is responsible for a coloured set which they activate when danger approaches in order to defeat evil...

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...

Review of Tropicana Pure Premium Original Orange Juice

Sainsbury's Premium Chocolate & Cream Biscuits

Advantages: Tasty, variety, good quality, not overpowering or sickly
Disadvantages: Packaging

...unfortunately this one doesn't, although there is a picture of the front showing you which biscuits are in the pack, but I do like to be able to see a written description so you know exactly which one you are getting. There are a list of ingredients written on the back but unfortunately there is no nutritional information for specific items, which I would like to have seen, but they're biscuits they're not going to be good for you and you know that. The biscuits all look tasty and they don't look cheap, they do look rather premium. There aren't any plain and boring biscuits in the pack, the ones which usually get left, or are given to my dad! They are all covered in, or have something in the middle of them, so you're getting what you pay for. The only one that isn't is a shortbread, but they're so lovely, they don't need any coverings. There...

WIRELESS BATTERY PACKS!!!

Advantages: WILL SAVE YOU MONEY!!!
Disadvantages: COST!!!

...Firstly there is not much to say about an item like this. It is what it is, so please remember this when rating the review or leaving a comment ; ) The wireless controllers come with the xbox 360 premium console pack. They are great and the fact that there are no wires means no more tangled wires AND best of all no chance of the leads breaking like so many other contollers i owned or the standard XBOX. The controllers are light and have a good signal compared to other wireless controllers previously produced for XBOX and Playstation, these old wireless controllers tend to have a weak signal even when sitting close to the console. XBOX 360 performs great though. XBOX 360 controllers good, Playstation and old XBOX bad OK? The wireless controllers do have a downside though. With no wires they have to have there own power source...

Premium economy ?? I think i'll pass !!

Advantages: Nice little extras, Good food, Free drinks
Disadvantages: Not value for money, tiny seats & stingy cabin crew

...big things as I knew it was only a cheap price but I started to think that maybe I had wasted our money. From what I could grasp we would be getting *An extra 5 inches legroom economy being 30inches & premium being 35 inches *One hour check in as apposed to the economy, which is at least 2 hours before *Priority boarding (so in other words we had to sit on the plane the longest!) *Wider seats *Footrest *Travel pack *Seat back video system (if not available free hand held DVD) *Specially designed menu & selection of meals *Complimentary drinks It may look a lot written down in a list but I knew for a fact it wouldn't be a lot when we got on board. I also found out that if you wanted to guarantee to sit together you would have to pay a further £10pp which I thought was daylight robbery what a cheek we have just paid an extra...
