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?

Is "Punch-Out!!" a knockout?

Advantages: Pick-up & play fun, lengthy, endearing
Disadvantages: Very similar to the classics, sometimes tedious

...With help from co-developers Next Level Games, Nintendo revives a criminally neglected classic and brings us ?Punch-Out!!? for the Wii. The Story In ?Punch-Out!!? you play as Little Mac, a young New-Yorker of small stature but great ambition that aspires to become the worldwide boxing champion. The actual game has deceptively little to do with real boxing though, with the ring simply serving as the ideal setting for a fresh new gameplay idea. From the NES-era to this very day, it?s a very popular trope to comprise a video-game of a variety of levels/stages/dungeons/worlds the player has to clear on his way to the ultimate goal. Each ends with a boss fight and those "stage-bosses" might be gigantic and menacing as in Zelda and Metroid, or devious and quirky like Dr. Robotnik or the Robot Masters, but...

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...

Review of Way Of The Fist, The - Five Finger Death Punch

  Just punch me now...

Advantages: Adam Sandler is much better than you might expect...
Disadvantages: ... but that's not really saying much

...and distract the viewer, this film is just annoying. I?ve reviewed two other offbeat movies recently here and each got raves from me, for the depth with which they portrayed their characters, and for their flashes of humour and warmth. Punch Drunk Love may be the weirdest and most confusing film you?ll see all year, but without that central sympathetic character development, it?s ultimately cold and shallow. Not recommended....

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...

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...

Bags you carry the stuff

Advantages: Stylish and he has to carry his own things!
Disadvantages: Could be deeper?

...%% Bags of style even for him! %% For the girls: *Why should you have to carry all the bags? At last the men are catching up! The scenario: setting out for a day out to town on the train.

Review of Storm Shoulder Messenger Bag

Punch-Drunk Love

Advantages: Unique, establishes Sandler, mildly heartwarming.
Disadvantages: A little too quirky at times.

..."I'm lookin' at your face and I just wanna smash it. I just wanna fuckin' smash it with a sledgehammer. You're so pretty." So says Barry to Lena at one particularly tender point in their relationship. Without anything further, we've established that Punch-Drunk Love does not conform to the usual romantic comedy cliches. To describe this film in a way that demonstrates the tone without giving too much away is a more difficult task than one would think. I suspect this is largely to the film being so different to other films of it's nature. Barry Egan (Adam Sandler) is a mild-mannered manager at a novelty toilet plunger company whose life is constantly intruded upon by his seven sisters. He's also prone to somewhat violent outbursts, although I should point out that these are never against people (he doesn't have that in him...

Changing bag for Mummies AND Daddies! (Mutsy Nursery Bag)

Advantages: Well designed. Great range of styles/colours. Expandable storage.
Disadvantages: Poor changing mat.

...Having decided the purchase of a Mutsy branded pushchair, the obvious choice of baby changing bag was the co-ordinating Mutsy bag. I did feel however that the Mutsy bag looked quite masculine & resembled a school satchel rather than a change bag. After browsing around at other change bags, I came upon the notion that most change bags look quite feminine & that it may be a wiser decision after all to go for the Mutsy bag...this way hubby would have no grounds for refusal of carrying it based on the opinion of it looking 'too girly'. As I read more into the Mutsy bag, I realised that it also has a useful 'clip' feature on the reverse, allowing it to attach easily to the back of the Mutsy pushchair. So, it was a done deal. Onto the bag itself. The bag comes in a huge array of colours, to match all the different styles & colours of Mutsy...
