A great set of rollers!

Advantages: shiny, full of volume curls!
Disadvantages: Still time consuming!

...I used these a few weeks ago at my friend's house and I was really impressed! When I go out to a wedding or a big occasion I like to spend some time getting ready and making my hair look nice. I have tried using curling tongs and GHDs to curl my hair but i'm always getting it uneven or burning myself or I get half way throguh and decide i'm fed up!! I went to my friend's house and used her roller set and I was really impressed with them! They heated up very quickly and were really easy to use. The box contains 20 rollers which are ceramic. They are in 3 different sizes which is dfferent to what I've used before as they only had two sizes. There are large, medium and small so you can get the right type of curl for the right part of your hair! They secure into place with the grips really easily which again is a bonus, it can be...

My First Scalextric Set

Advantages: Great starter-set
Disadvantages: One is not enough?

...simple enough to do and the instructions tell you how. The only other 'maintenance' is to keep the track clean and clear of bits and bobs ( dog-hair..etc) easiset way is a paint brush to dust anything out of the main guide line of track. It's not a bad little set to start with, Boy got the hang of controlling the cars quickly?but now we're bored with it. The scale is 1:64 the same as the Micro-Scalextric I notice...from the nice booklets included with the set. You get a few information/catalogue type brochures on their other ranges of race-sets, and a list of 'Official Service Dealers'. Plus you get information on the 'Official Skalextric Club' which you can join online or by application form, This will cost you £22 for 12 months for which you get their magazine, discounts from certain stockists and the like.

Wonderful Literary Chick Flick Trilogy Box Set

Advantages: Well acted, Great Book Adaptation Storylines, Fun for All Ages
Disadvantages: Each Movie is About Three Hours Long

...be ignored by the overall storyline. I was slightly disapointed by this third story since it really didn't go by the books my L.M Montgomery at all. The first two movies are at least based on her books , but this movie was almost entirely made up. I was hoping the third movie would follow the other books about Anne as she is grown up with Children. Still, the movie was well made and entertaining. It was good to see the actors again, and the costumes anad attention to detail from the World War I era are fantastic. It's not as good as the first two movies, but well worth a watch. ******Conclusion***** All these movies in the Box Set; Anne of Green Gables, The Sequel , and The Continuing Story, are so much fun. Children around the age of 7 and up will enjoy the first one. While children more around the age of 10 and up would...

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...

Ready, Get Set, Go

Advantages: Favourites from Cbeebies
Disadvantages: None

.... They incorporate into the programmes counting and colours, it does a spring and autumn watch, there is a programme on the channel that looks at special children and teaches sign language. The channel is very good all round entertainment for youngsters. The DVD is called Get Set Go, which is the name of the breakfast part of the channel. It is presented by Sid and Andy and is on from 6 am until 9.00 am every morning. This part is very upbeat to get young children set up for the day. The DVD begins with some funky music accompanied by some brief clips of a lot of the programmes that are available to watch on the channel. The DVD contains the following episodes: Boogies Beebies - Sporty Boogie The episode starts with a bit of a dance as a warm up. The episode tells children all about track and field sporting events...

Chickenfeed - a Quick Read!

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

...Gordon Ramsay's. Incidentally "Chickenfeed" won the first 'Quick Reads Learners' Favourite' Award. The books are promoted as being for people who want a quick read for whatever reason - perhaps they don't read much, don't have much time to read, are new to reading, or haven't read for a while. The scheme is basically to get people reading, which I think is an excellent idea - after all, the more people who read (in theory), the more will read my ramblings on Ciao and DooYoo! You still haven't answered the question, why hadn't you read the book? Well, I am certainly not someone who could be accused of being a reluctant reader. I set myself a challenge in 2004 and recorded the books I read - it was well over 200. However that was a big reading year, and I usually read about 2/3 books a week mainly during my commute to...

Dead Set - Main Feature Only

Advantages: Brilliantly written, tense, funny and full of seriously OTT gore.
Disadvantages: The "Big Brother is the devil" thing is all a wee bit silly.

...Charlie Brooker's Dead Set is a strange, exceptional, wholly unexpected piece of work. It has all of the misanthropy, bile and spectacularly foul wordplay of his underrated Chris Morris collaboration Nathan Barley, it has all of the wit and the critical smarts of his Guardian column and his BBC4 Screen Wipe, and it has all of the oh-my-God-did-I-just-see-that gore of a hundred Fulci pictures. It is harsh, uncompromising, extraordinarily violent and absolutely hilarious. Brilliant, in other words, although one says that with a few reservations. Originally broadcast as 5 20-odd minute episodes (the 45 minute opener excepted), Dead Set hinges on a fairly novel What If? What If a slew of gut-hungry, brain-craving zombies attacked the Big Brother house mid-series? What would happen, it turns out, is that a handful of housemates...

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...

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!...

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...
