Pig's Practice Poles.

Advantages: Very lightweight, contained in a bag, easy to set-up/put away
Disadvantages: Gets rather tedious when your dog's a complete numpty.

...your dog, willing them each day to achieve the level you didn?t get to yourself. I digress somewhat. Dog agility is essentially an obstacle course for doggies that includes jumps and other particular pieces that each have their own rules. One of the most difficult pieces of equipment to master (though I picked it up quite quickly) is the weave ? it involves poles sticking vertically out of the ground which the dog has to enter from the right and ?weave? in and out right to the 12th pole ? yep, 12 poles. How on earth do you explain to something as dimwitted as a Labrador the rules of the weave? On average it takes about 6 months for a normal dog to grasp the concept, thus, I knew we were going to have a long road ahead of us and she wasn?t going to pick it up by just attending training twice a week. ~~*~~ The Clix Weave...

Torn Curtain - Was It Really Torn?

Advantages: It's Hitchcock
Disadvantages: But not at his best

...Torn Curtain is an Alfred Hitchcock produced and directed film released in 1966 which starred Paul Newman and Julie Andrews as Professor Michael Armstrong and his assistant/fiancé Sarah Sherman with support from Wolfgang Kieling, Lila Kedrova, Hansjorg Felmy, Ludwig Donath, Carolyn Conwell, Gisela Fischer and Gunter Strack.

She is horrified and feels he is a traitor but she decides to...

Review of Torn Curtain (DVD)

It's Curtains for me....!

Advantages: Lovely design. Co-ordinates with range.
Disadvantages: Thin, no lining. Only one size available.

...Having bought everything else in the Mama?s & Papa?s Roundabout boys range, I almost scrimped on the curtains. I say this because even though everything else in the range is overpriced I was quite horrified at the prospect of paying £50 for a pair of curtains that were almost too small for the nursery room window & weren?t even lined! Instead, I was planning on finding some material in a similar shade & making my own (well, having my mum make me some?.!). Then, whilst browsing in M&P one day, I found the curtains on sale for £35 & duly snapped them up. The curtains are 100% cotton, & a solid colour in the same shade of blue as the rest of the range. Each curtain has a degree of subtle embroidery featuring ?Bump? & ?Bounce? ? the 2 characters in the range & other features such as cars & road signs. There are hanging details along...

Plaza Regency Hotel in Sliema in central position

Advantages: Easy access to public transport and sea front promenade
Disadvantages: cramped and slow lifts

...The Plaza Regency hotel, Sliema is situated at 251 Tower Road, or as the local street signs put it Triq it-Torri. It is seperated from its sister hotel The Plaza, by a road Triq San Frangisk. The two hotel are connected together by a bridge six floors above the street. This sounds weird but works quite well. The two hotels share a dining room which is on the sixth floor of the Plaza, and share a swimming pool which is on the roof (seventh floor) of the Plaza Regency. Both hotels have several steps to climb to get from street level to Reception and in my opinion would be awkward for someone of limited mobility. Once inside, the reception area is spacious and has arm chairs and a TV. The staff here speak good English and are helpful. Both hotels have lifts which are in my opinion both slow and cramped. However the bedroom that my wife...

Curtain Closes On Shady

Advantages: Has some new music inc a nice end-of-career song
Disadvantages: Most of it is old songs (well, it is a greatest hits album)

...We had The Show, we had the Encore, now its time for the Curtain Call. As the expression goes, all great things must come to an end. This is the end of an era for one of rap's, and music's, biggest stars. In my opinion, he was one of the biggest stars of the music industry over the past decade, singing with the likes of Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg and also 50 cent. I grew fond of listening to his vocal talents ever since i heard him for the first time ( The Real Slim Shady). Now for the album review. 1 - Intro 6/10 The CD begins with another one of eminems concert style intros. This one has more of a 60's romantic style music, however, nothing special in this. 2 - FACK 8/10 This is one of the few tracks he sang especially for this album. He sings from a mans perspective about having sex with a woman and how he likes to f**k f**k f...

Pole Dancing....carcraig won't give up her day job

Advantages: Brilliant laugh, novelty factor
Disadvantages: Pricey as exercise class, the aches & pains, the neighbours wanting a demonstration in the back garden.....

...I recently went to my sister's Hen Do. This, in itself, is not all that unusual as she is about to get married for the THIRD time. (Our Dad is banned from using the word "again" in his Father-of-the-Bride speech!) What was slightly novel was that included in the itinerary for our day was a Pinkkiss Pole Dancing Class *gulp*? Now I had been told that Pole Dancing is very good for toning and fitness and it is regarded as a credible exercise form. I'm not sure, however, that 16 girls/women in the tipsy state we were in, doing ANYTHING could be considered a healthy pursuit. No matter the alcohol definitely helped to reduce our inhibitions and we were all game to have a go. Our particular lesson took place in a club in Edinburgh near the Playhouse Theatre (I think it was called C.C. Bloom's.) I found it a bit weird going into...

the hills have eyes - but only for my poles!

Advantages: increase stamina, stability, safety while walking on any terrain
Disadvantages: you might not want to use them round sainsbury's

...Following an appointment with my consultant today it looks like I will be fit enough to go hiking again in 3-4 weeks , around the start of august. Obviously I?m going to have to build up slowly, so partly to celebrate and partly to assist my training; and follow the Drs advice I have treated myself to a pair of trekking poles. For those of you who don?t really know what these are I will explain. They are a bit like walking sticks and are used to lessen the load on the ligaments and muscles when hiking, particularly when laden. Some people use 1 and others use 2. I intend to use 2 for maximum support and assistance. As a rule of thumb if you?re walking easy terrain with no load, one pole is frequently sufficient. If, on the other hand, you?re walking on varied terrain or carrying a load the advice is to use 2 as not only do you get...

Curtain lights

Advantages: Looks aboslutly wonderful
Disadvantages: Tangles very easily when put away

...My mother bought a set of these lights last year from her local Argos store in Doncaster in South Yorkshire. These lights are extremly beautiful and can enhance the beauty of the home wonderfully over the festive period. Curtain lights are starting to become increasingly popular too as art decor in more modern homes too. I wenr to visit one home and they had them all along the wall of thier dining room and looked quite effective. One word of warning! Putting these lights away can be a nightmare as they tangle so easily as my poor mother found ouf for herself last year. So if you are planning on buying some of these please take extra care putting them away to hopefully avoid tangling. Curtain lights are now coming in a few more designs and are also available in a plain white or multi-coloured lighs. They seem to be...

The Regency Begins

Advantages: Hugh Laurie in a much bigger role
Disadvantages: None at all

...Blackadder is the generic name of a historical sitcom by the BBC that ran for four series. Each series is set in a completely different era from the Tudors to World War One, yet each follow the fortunes and misfortunes of Edmond Blackadder, played by Rowan Atkinson and his sidekick though more often dogsbody Baldrick, played by Tony Robinson. In each series Blackadder must not only try and put up with Baldrick?s dim wits and poor personal hygiene standards but also an equally dim-witted aristocrat (Lord Percy Percy played by Tim McInnerny in series 1 and 2, Prince George in series 3 and Lieutenant George in series 4 both played by Hugh Laurie). The third series and the one I will be reviewing today is entitled ?Blackadder 3? and is set in England during the Regency period 1760-1815. Like seems to be the common pattern since...

Toftbo...? strange name for a shower curtain

Advantages: Can be put in the washing machine
Disadvantages: it looks so good you'll want to redecorate

...I recently went to Ikea to make a few purchases. One of the things I came home with that wasn't on my original list was this shower curtain. I 'needed' a new one, wanted one that was macine washable and it had to go with the colour of my bathroom - teracotta. This one has all three. It was indeed new, I took it out of the packet myself. It is machine washable (see the additional information below) and it has colours that go with my bathroom and also adds a splash of contrasting colour too. The one thing I didn't notice at the time was that it didn't come with curtain hooks provided. I should have purchased some at the same time but luckily the ones I were already using were clear plastic so I could re-use them for this curtain. The colours in it are fab. Although my bathroom suite is teracotta with cream flooring...
