Can I Rock Your World ???

Advantages: Great Fun For Little Ones
Disadvantages: None

...Walking around Toys R Us a few months back now with the usual "want daddy I want it daddy" ringing in my ears my little 2 year old Rhegan went very quiet so thinking he had wandered off I turned around sharply with a slight amount of panic rushing through my head and noticed him rocking happily backwards and forwards behind a display of boxes. When I walked around I saw that he had mounted a rocking horse and was having the time of his life. "Look Daddy Gee Gee" he kept telling me so of course seeing something he loved so much out came my wallet and we bought him one for the princely sum of £19.99. I collected the box from the customer service desk and placed it in the car "Daddy Gee Gee Please" still ringing in my ears. When we got home he demanded that I open it straight away and set it up for him to have a go on so I unpacked it...

Review of Little Tikes Rocking Horse

Rock baby rock

Advantages: Good, simple fun. Durable colourful cheap toy
Disadvantages: none found yet

...We bought this toy for our daughter when she was 18 months, after she nagged us half to death in the supermarket. Don't you just hate the way supermarkets put great looking toys (and sweets) right next to the checkouts. I suppose we can forgive them, because selling is their game, but it creates major hassle for us mums. Anyway, on this occasion, we gave in because friends of ours had similar toys and Holly always enjoyed playing with it when we visited. We named the horse Hooves (although he has none!) for want of a better name and he is certainly a favourite. We drove home from the supermarket with a little voice in the back saying "go on there" over and over again. I have never seen such excitement when she was able to ride it. She rocked it so energetically that I was worried she would go flying over the front of it. This...

Review of Little Tikes Rocking Horse

from the horse's mouth

Advantages: Some tracks of a newer style for Nickelback
Disadvantages: one or two weaker tracks (but what album doesn't?!)

...Dark Horse is the 2008 album release from Canadian rock band Nickelback. It is their 6th album, the other 5 being: Curb (1996) The State (1998) Silver Side Up (2001) The Long Road (2003) All the Right Reasons (2005) Now, Nickelback tends to be one of those groups people know they've heard of, but can't think of many, if any of their songs. Nickelback's best know tracks, at least in England are How you Remind Me (released in 2001 from their Silver Side Up album), Photograph and Rock Star (released 2005 and 2006 respectively, both from their All the Right Reasons album). A very very quick history of the band as this is a review of the album, not the band. Nickelback is composed of four men, two of whom are brothers. There is Chad Kroeger ? lead vocals, rhythm guitar Ryan Peake ? lead guitar, backing vocals Mike Kroeger ? bass guitas...

Review of Dark Horse - Nickelback

The "Dark Horse" Of Music

Advantages: Highly varied. Something for everyone
Disadvantages: Ballads off-putting

..."Dark Horse" is the sixth album from the alternative rock band from Canda, Nickelback. This 2008 relase, came after the great success which they accomplished from the initial, and re-reease of "All the Right Reasons", which came out in 2005. Despite having numerous hits over the years, "Rockstar" amy have hindered the group as the big tune quickly got annoying to many listeners, and so with this album, they attempt to re-create the success which they had prior when that track came out. 1. "Something In Your Mouth" Although I haven't heard it on the radio (due to the fact I would never go onto a station which would play them), this was the mildly successful second single by the band, and it has them go for a Hard Rock track, where their lyrical content is largely adult-themed. I really enjoyed it, and I expect that had it received...

Review of Dark Horse - Nickelback

Only fools and horses

Advantages: great fun and lots of laughter
Disadvantages: not enough episodes

...Only fools and horses began its life in 1981, penned by John Sullivan, who also wrote Citizen Smith. The seven series, (and 19 Christmas specials) lasted through till 2003 and revolved around two main characters, Derek (Del)Trotter, (played by David Jason) and his younger brother Rodney, (played by Nicholas Lyndhurst), they lived at 23 Nelson Mandela house, a block of high rise flats in Peckham and drove a bright yellow three wheeled van with 'Trotters Independent Traders' painted on it. Derek, or Del boy as everyone knew him, was a trader of sorts, ducking and diving through life, buying and selling anything he and his brother Rodney could get there hands on. Rodney, however, was the more law abiding of the two, always being dragged into Dels tricks. Other Characters Grandad...

RIDE 'EM COWBOY

Advantages: Lightweight and fun for older babies, relatively safe, will last for years, easy on/off, low to ground, safe, fade resistant, quality name, wide base, wipes clean, good height for toddlers to climb on
Disadvantages: Should keep an eye on your child while playing with this rocking horse, possibly tipping hazard, slippery on hard surfaces

...I hate to say this but Granny picked up this Little Tikes Rocking Horse in a local charity shop for the bargain price of £1.50. Even though it was a pre-owned toy, our Little Tikes Rocking Horse is in premium condition and ready to be used for several more years. ~~ FEATURES ~~ This Little Tikes rocking horse is ready for children to play with straight out of the box, so Daddy/Grandpa doesn't have to go mad putting it together. It is a simple toy, made out the same lightweight moulded plastic seen in many toys from Little Tikes; so there are no screws or parts, which could come lose. It isn?t mechanical either so we don't need to purchase any batteries - very economical. The horse, teal in colour, is approximately three feet long, with the head of a horse and mane, two easy-grip plastic covered handles in a golden yellow...

Review of Lego In & Around Town: Horse Stables

Horsing Around!

Advantages: Encourages imaginative play, robust
Disadvantages: Slightly expensive

...What is it about girls and horses? I remember as a child myself being completely captivated by these creatures (probably because, despite the fact we lived on a farm, my Dad constantly told us that we categorically could NOT have a horse - something to do with them wrecking fences and not earning their keep!!) and our girls seem to have inherited this fascination. At not quite three, they are still a bit young for horse riding, but they were delighted to receive this Lego Duplo box of equine delights as a gift. This is a relatively new product - it was only launched in 2007. It contains a good variety of pieces - stable building, fences, horses, little people, pony trap, a cat, a trough and "standard" building blocks. The stable itself consists predomiantly of a large roof piece, two gable ends and two walls - so...

Review of Lego In & Around Town: Horse Stables

From the Horse's Mouth

Advantages: Very funny
Disadvantages: swearing and violence

...Charlie Owen is a new writer on the block, producing books packed full of incident, entertainment and fun. Drawing on thirty years experience as a front line copper in various forces around the country, before retiring as an Inspector in the Metropolitan Police, his stories are full of detail and insider knowledge and are as comfortable and enjoyable as a book can be. This book is set in and around a police station in one of the roughest, most unpleasant neighbourhoods imaginable. The fictional area is called Handstead, an outlying suburb of Manchester, and the station?s call sign is Hotel Alpha (HA). Given the areas reputation as a sinkhole for troublemakers and delinquent cops it has become colloquially known as Horse?s Arse ? hence the title of the book. The story concerns the activities of D Relief, a collection...

Review of Horse's Arse - Charlie Owen

THE ROCK!

Advantages: read opp
Disadvantages: read opp

...In 1996, Michael Bay directed the box office smash hit "The Rock", starring Nicholas Cage, Sean Connery and Ed Harris. Although quite a old film, I once again saw this film last week, and I cant seem to get bored of it. Michael Bay is a brilliant director, his story telling, action sequences and special effects always make a film watchable. The Plot: The film revolves around a group of rogue marines, who fed up with the American governments support for war veterans, decide to plot revenge on their own government. Led by Francis X. Hummel (Ed Harris), the marines steal VX nerve gas from a military base. They then find themselves taking hostages at Alcatraz Island, were guided tours are now present. The marines take control of the island, planting the VX nerve gas al over the island ready to launch if needed. Now knowing...
