...disappears, so be quick. =Special Prises= Red Pots These increase the number of rainbows you through. When you start the game, you have one rainbow every time you fire. You can increase this to three by collecting red pots. Yellow Pots These increase the speed at which you rainbows fire.

Advantages: The whole program - it's a real classic
Disadvantages: You never see anything off it anymore, and Rainbow Days... what a waste of time.

...comments about the others. He is a symbol of 80's youth culture. George: The second puppet, he is realistic and sensible. He is always telling Zippy off. He is a pink Hippotamus. Bungle: A big brown bear, who is clumsy and usually gets things wrong. He is at the butt of Zippy's remarks. Geoffrey: The only real person, he makes sure everything goes along smoothly. There are many other people, but they are usually just special guests. The whole gang are always up to something, whether it's making a monster or some other hilarious concept. However, there is a down side to Rainbow... a dark side... an evil side. It was a sad day when Geoffrey was fired, and then the whole greatness of Rainbow was thrown into doubt, when along came Rainbow Days. This sad, pathetic attempt to re-live the magic of Rainbow in the late 80's was just... Read review

Advantages: Smells heavenly and really is calming.
Disadvantages: Naff all rainbow!!

...after feeling sleepy and relaxed, I noticed that my skin was extremely smooth and soft, and smelt rather nicely of the bath bomb. And I slept like a baby after being so nicely chilled out! And when I woke up, I could still smell that lovely musky warming smell and it stayed on me till about the afternoon! So the calming properties in this bomb really did work. That's why it gets 3 stars, but it loses out because of the disappointing rainbow and it didn't dissolve at all well. Oh and I really think the people at Lush need to decide on something slightly more waterproof with which to print their mottos! All in all, I will buy this again. I have yet to discover the magic of the yellow or the blue centred rainbow warriers, so I'm going to give them a chance to prove themselves! And the calming properties really did work wonders- so must... Read review

Advantages: A tight, well-constructed sound with technicallity and musicality to boot
Disadvantages: Are you kidding me?

...Rainbow's second attempt at making an album…and what an effort! Combine the guitar mastery of Ritchie Blackmore with the vocal talent of Ronnie James Dio and you're onto something very special. When you add a rhythm section consisting of Jimmy Bain (Bass), the late great Cozy Powell on Drums and throw in Tony Carey (Keyboards) for good measure; it comes as no surprise when I tell you that this is one of the greatest Hard Rock albums ever created. The album kicks off with a Keyboard introduction that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Its magical weaving lets you know this album is somewhat different to that of which you are commonly associated. After some build-up, the guitar enters softly, the drums roar and the roller coaster is on its way. Dio triumphantly soars above the track and takes control. The balance is perfect... Read review

Advantages: Enjoyable to read
Disadvantages: Written in letter form

..."! Strangely enough, another person in the story who is younger also does this! This really annoys Rosie. Alex's brother Phil plays an important role, as Alex turns to him for advice. Rosie's parents, sister and daughter have major parts too and her friend Ruby. Much of the time the letters are sent whilst people should be working, and occasionally emails get sent to the wrong people! From : Mrs Tellme-More To: Jo Subject: How much is this book and is it worth the money? From: Jo To: Mrs Tellme-More Subject: Where Rainbows End It costs £10.99 for the large paperback edition. It does have 453 pages though and can be bought cheaper ! Amazon has used copies from about £1.00. This is an easy to read book, good for the holidays or to curl up by the fire in winter! A little bit of magic has been sprinkled and the story has been woven... Read review

Advantages: A friendly and relaxing, totally no smoking veggie cafe.
Disadvantages: Its not in the city centre.

...of the café is actually quite bright and cheerful with yellow and orange walls and deep blue ceiling and carpet but in spite of this it retains a sense of calm. On the left is a huge noticeboard crammed to overflowing with notices and ads for a myriad of diverse events. Every type of alternative therapy is offered, shiatsu and reiki, holistic massage, tranquillity evenings etc. All types of dance class from baroque and ballet to line dancing, Rooms to let, vegetarian flatshares, rooms wanted. Programmes for theatres and art cinemas sit alongside for the programme for the Zodiac and other music venues. It is impossible to classify the people you find in the Magic Café for it attracts all sorts for all sorts of reasons. But if you imagine a cross section from Glastonbury festival that would sum it up – sort of hippiesh with rainbow... Read review

Advantages: Stunning, mountainous scenery
Disadvantages: None

...The Rainbow Rage is not the way I went over the Rainbow. But for thousands of bikers it is an annual 100km race from St Arnaud, on the Nelson side of the Rainbow Valley, through this most fantastic part of the South Island of New Zealand to Hanmer, and a waiting hot pool plunge. For me, I went over from the Hanmer end, after doing the Molesworth High Country Station trip in the comfort of our 4X4. We saw several mountain bikers along the way and I know which way I prefer to take in this pristine sub alpine beauty. The trip has some high saddle passes where you can see high country farming, lakeside wonder, huge, craggy mountains and a gate or two to open along the way. Site seeing and photography come together and I used up so much film. This is beech clad forest and huge, gravel scree shots we are talking. I haven... Read review

...“Dreamlover” where Mariah is rolling around in a cornfield in jean shorts, (which she seems to do a lot) Tons of hits followed, the classic cover of “without you” and her own smash “Hero” After the success of the album she began to get annoyed, as she had no control of what she did professionally. After the release of “Daydream” the third album she took control. She spread her wings and became a “Butterfly” Instantly her image changed, there was no more Mariah in jean shorts or with curly wurly hair, just slick, sexy and seductive. I have to say at this point I think her music did go downhill, but then came Rainbow……. (Finally she’s got to it your thinking!) After the success of Rainbow, things went downhill, the sixth album was a flop and so was the film she... Read review

Advantages: Great plot, location and graphics. Simple gameplay, point and shoot.
Disadvantages: None.

...I couldn't wait for Rainbow six Vegas 2 to arrive when it was released on the 21st March. I had pre-ordered the limited edition steel book version from play.com at the price of £39.99. The steel book case is very well presented and worth the price, most games are £39.99 anyway so I was on to a winner getting the limited edition version. After taking off the wrapper, the case had a cardboard sleeve around it, after slipping it off revealing the metal case I was really pleased with how good the steel case looked. On opening the case I was surprised again, what I didn't know was that the limited edition game came with a bonus DVD. I'm not one for spending time reading instructions before I start playing games, the good thing about games like Rainbow six is that they are not complicated in anyway. The plot of the game follows... Read review
