TV Quick

Advantages: *
Disadvantages: *

...I still live with my parents and this is the TV magazine that they buy. I don't see the point in buying another TV magazine just for me. I read this magazine more than I actually watch the television. Due to exams, drama, sign language and ciao I don't watch very much television. However, every now and then I do sit down and watch an episode of Eastenders or Coronation Street, with my mam. I don't need to watch every episode to know what is going on. Apart from the fact that usually nothing much is happening, I can read the TV quick to catch up. TV Quick come out weekly and costs 70p. We get it delivered from our local newsagents with our newspaper. We usually get it on the Tuesday, before the TV listings in the magazine starts. I say magazine because it is more than just a TV listing. To write this review I'm looking at a copy...

Review of TV Quick

VisionQuick , great idea but not for me!

Advantages: Very wide range of styles and designs at competitive prices
Disadvantages: Cannot deal with bi focal or vari focal glasses

...VisionQuick was a new concept to me, an online optician who makes up your spectacle prescription and offers a wide range of frames at less than high street prices. My partner had had his eyes tested locally and we decided to check out VisionQuick as he knew exactly what he was looking for, flexible frames with no particular designer label. How to use the service. The website is attractive and very easy to navigate. They claim to be one of only a few on-line retailers that is actually backed and owned by qualified and practicing opticians. To use VisionQuick you simply need to send your prescription from your own optician. This must be up to date, under two years old. You then chose your frames from the vast selection on offer, VisionQuick will then produce your new glasses to the requirements of the prescription...

Chickenfeed - a Quick Read!

Advantages: An enjoyable read suitable for everyone!
Disadvantages: That I had initially dismissed 'Quick Reads'

...was 19, so they do appeal to a variety of ages. I would highly recommend checking her out - in my opinion she is much more readable than Kathy Reichs, perhaps partly because she is a British author. More about Minette Walters can be found on her excellent website, so to save me regaling her details, I'll give you the link: www.minettewalters.co.uk Getting the book When I saw "Chickenfeed" on Bookmooch I thought I might as well go for a mooch as it wouldn't cost me anything (well it does kind of, but read a review on BookMooch to learn more about how that works!) So, why haven't you read Chickenfeed if you like Minette Walters so much? "Chickenfeed" was published in 2006 by Pan as part of the "Quick Reads" series. This was one of the first 12 books. "Quick Reads" books are easily affordable - my...

Review of Chickenfeed (Quick reads) - Minette Walters

You wanna play with me HOW quick?!

Advantages: A fast & fun game that makes you think.
Disadvantages: You could end up stamping your feet!

...As I love playing games and having recently reviewed Pass the Bomb, I thought I'd try and tell you about another game we have played recently. A word game thats quick, fun and very very simple to play. Its concept is very similar to Scrabble although a lot, lot faster. The aim of the game is to use all your tiles to make words in a crossword style before the end of the round and to score as many points as possible to win the game. So let me introduce you to .....DOUBLE QUICK. ۞ THE BOX ۞ Approx 9" x 6" x 3", this cream colured box has the name Double Quick emblazoned across it in red along with pictures of small 'scrabble' like crosswords on it. It states its 'The Worlds Fastest Word Game' The game is made by Winning Moves and in 1998 won the Gold Award from Time Out Kids Out Good Toy Guide. Suitable...

Review of Double Quick

Quick reviews

Advantages: Quick and easy
Disadvantages: Possibly innacurate and can't be deleted if posted by mistake

...Hi, following feedback have moved what was originally here in the correct section - hope that helps! With regards to quick reviews, I am quite new here, but I think they can be useful, in that someone with little experience such as myself can quickly add comments about a product without having to worry too much about how t do it. The downside is that perhaps, as suggested in other posts, it would make people lazy and perhaps it is good that people have to learn how to post properly - as I am doing at the moment! I would say though, that with such a feature it might also be useful to be able to delete the review too - quick reviews might be posted by mistake if someone is in a hurry. Unfortunately that happened to me!...

What is quick about them?

Advantages: See text.
Disadvantages: See text.

...I would just like to write a review onquick reviews, something I am sure that many of have actually come across but have not written (or at least not that we would care to admit to though in any case). I am not in any way in favour of these, and I would just like to give my reasons as to why this so please listen. In terms of being in favour of writing a quick review, it does exactly what it says on the tin - it is quick, and therefore is not as time consuming as writing a full on review. And yes, it does also get you a quick point or two - but in my own opinion, writing a quick review is not enough as we shall see now. In my own mind, I have got this notion that Ciao is all about trying to encourage others in to using a product by writing a good review that people think that that product/ item/ service etc is the greatest thing...

Quick TV and Gossip

Advantages: packed full of gossip and a tv guide
Disadvantages: the price could be lower

...TV Quick There's so many TV guides to choose from now that picking one is hard. Although, I do go for the free one in the papers I always love going to my grans and reading the TV Quick. It's a great TV mag but also a good long read too. What is TV Quick? It's a TV magazine with a difference. It's got the normal TV guide that every TV mag has but then there's the extras like all the celeb gossip and interview with soap and tv celebs. The price 65p which is quite a lot for TV mag but it's not just a TV mag. It's a mini version of Heat so I think the price is quite reasonable. FRONT COVER There's the usual TV QUICK red and white logo. Normally on the front cover of the TV Quick, there's a soap star that's going to be in a main storyline that week. For example, Sally's sexy secret. Underneath the face of the soap star...

Review of Tefal Quick Cup Claris Filter Cartridge

Quick relief

Advantages: Instantly works
Disadvantages: Keep out of reach of children

...Yes, it's another of my toilet products, I told you I was obsessed about having the little girls room clean and fresh. Well once again as I lurk around in the depth of the pound shops, seeking that super bargin of a lifetime. I came across this little beauty. They know my name now in the pound shop, how sad is that? Anyway back to the product in hand or in loo, as you might say. Neutradol Quick Spray does exactly what it says on the box. You get a little canister of air freshner which fits inside a white plastic flat ball, once you have put it all together you can then press the top of the ball and it sprays a jet of airfreshener into the room. This doesn't contain CFC's but don't spray it onto polished furniture or you may regret it. Keep out of reach of children as they may think it's a toy. This of course cost me 1 pound...

Review of Neutradol Quick Spray

Quick! Hide the ugly air freshener

Advantages: Cheap, smells great
Disadvantages: looks ugly!!!

...I'm a sucker for fancy air fresheners, I've probably tried all of them - glade wisp (the proof is in the puff), 3volution, Mobil'Air, but my latest find is neutrodol quickspray. I was looking for an air freshener for my bathroom, and Poundland normally sell Crystal Air and Touch and Fresh, but last time I went in they didn't have any left. I don't usually like the aerosol sprays as they never usually work, but Neutrodol QuickSpray was about the only other option, so that's what I went for. ~About Neutrodol~ Neutrodol are a swiss company, and their products contain over 50 ingredients which supposedly attack bad odours, leaving you with fresh, clean air. They make QuickSpray in five different fragrances - Original, Super Fresh, Bathroom, Kitchen and Deofab. I went for the Super Fresh as they only had that or original, otherwise I...
