Will Geoffrey Replace His Silks For Silks?

Advantages: Yet another 'Francis' Novel to educate us . . . this time about legal processes
Disadvantages: Some similarities to other minor plot lines . . . .

...A melodic tune broke into my concentration. I pulled my Pumpkin coloured RAZR out of its case and answered the phone by flicking it open. "Hello?" . . . . . . . . "Is that Mrs James? This is Tettenhall Library. The Dick Francis book you reserved is ready for collection." . . . . . . . . "Is Wednesday okay?" . . . . . . . . . "Certainly; you can only borrow it for a fortnight, though, as it is still on the reserve list, you know!" . ~ ~ ~ ~ SILKS: ~ ~ Racing Silks and Legal Silks? ~ ~ ~ ~ This novel, the 41st of the "Dick Francis" enterprise, centres round an amateur jockey, Geoffrey Mason (known on the track as 'Perry' because his PAYING job is as a Barrister) who rides his own horse, court cases permitting, in steeplechase races reserved for amateur riders. This is his TRUE passion, having been...

Review of Silks - Dick Francis & Felix Francis

High fondle factor of Silk

Advantages: Easy to shop, Good delivery.
Disadvantages: Cons, some may feel a limited selection of products and colours.

...One thing that I could never be accused of is being a follower of fashion. As you get older warmth and comfort start to be far more important than wearing the latest thing. I liked a good long walk in rough country, mountains and moreland. This is all very well but weather can change rather quickly at times and you can soon become wet and cold. I am a bit slower these days now than I used to be but I can still get just as wet and cold as before. Good clothing is essential. Water and wind proof jackets can be vital, but a lot of waterproof trousers can be rather heavy. I know that they are hardly the most fashionable item, but I had some long johns that were German made. After a fairly long life and much washing, they finally gave up. So something new was called for. A quick search found this site. Patra Silk. Here I could go...

Dove Body Silk

Advantages: Smell, packaging, moisturisor itself
Disadvantages: Perhaps a bit pricey just for a body cream?

...Dove Body Silk is a fantastic moituriser which is far more luxurious than your bog standard body lotion. It's very thick and creamy, and seems to melt into your skin like ice cream rather than being thin and runny like a lot of lotions on the market. It comes in a tub, as opposed to a bottle, so you scoop out the contents, which I think is fab! The packagine of Dove Body Silk is, like the rest of the range, simple but stylish. The 300ml tub is curved, made of white plastic with the familiar 'Dove' logo in blue italics. It also carried a picture of a gold dove, which I like is quie classy! It has a screw lid, and you use your fingers to take out the moistuiser as you want it, so there is no danger of squeezing out too much and losing it. The downside of this however is that it can be a bit messy, but not that badly. The cream...

Review of Dove Beauty Care Body Wash Silk Glow

From straw to silk.

Advantages: silky soft hair with no tangles.
Disadvantages: smells a bit too strong and synthetic (in the tub)

...% off in Superdrug recently, I use Hair Silk. The wonder comes in what I call a 'scoopy' tub. It's shallow and wide, and you get the treat to scoop out the product in big handfulls, rather than having to squeeze it or pour it into your hands. Scooping is so much more satisfying, don't you think? Ok, that's just me then. The tub is typical Dove - blue and white, with the gold Dove and a pink box that tells me I bought hair silk for 'dry/damaged/coloured hair'. Yes, all of the above. There's a sticker on top of the lid which reads 'deep care - doesn't weigh hair down', which is exactly what I was looking for. Softness, but not greasiness. The only thing that annoys me about this tub is that because of the way it's labelled, when I try to twist the lid back on, I end up twisting the whole label around the pot. But that's a small thing...

Silk Collection or Nutty Collection

Advantages: Elegantly designed box, The name
Disadvantages: Too many nut flavours, very similar to other brands, slightly more expensive than others

...Most chocolate and confectionery makers have their own box assortments and Galaxy is no different. Galaxy is produced by Mars Confectionery and comes under the wings of the giant good conglomerate Masterfoods. When I first heard about the Galaxy Silk Collection I was very pessimistic in view of the adorable chocolates produced under the Galaxy label. The normal Galaxy milk chocolates are probably one of the best standard "only chocolate" bars that I have ever tasted and in my view beat Cabdury's all ends down. However when it comes to the boxed assortment chocolates Galaxy have their shortcoming. At first glance the Silk Collection looks adorable. The colour of the box is very similar to the usual Galaxy chocolate packing consisting of the brown and reddish colours. The design of the box is also excellent and infact very similar...

Review of Mars Galaxy Silk Collection

Supreme Silk

Advantages: lovely bubbles, smells good
Disadvantages: Doesn't really moisturise on its own, see op

...thinking of was how much it cost! I left the bath running and went off to make a cup of tea. When I returned to the bathroom there was a lovely smell and lots of luxurious bubbles. I was very much looking forward to this bath. As you can see in the picture above, Dove Softening Silk Bath comes in a tall white bottle, kind of a squashed out oval shape. It has the regular Dove logo on the front. There is a peach kind of pearl colour flip top lid, which makes it easier to use, and down the left hand side is a clear strip which lets you see the level of bubble bath inside the bottle and reminds you when you are running out. The liquid inside is the same colour as the flip top lid. All very luxurious, it makes you think that this is going to be a different bath time experience all together. As usual, it claims to have 1/4 moisturising...

Silk Road Online: It's Free!

Advantages: Free, Good Gameplay, Long Lasting
Disadvantages: Graphics aren't 100%, Lot's of bad English.

...One day I was holding the same conversation with my partner that I always have. The conversation is, Why can't they make a new ultima online? With today's graphics etc. Whenever we have this conversation, I get in the mood to play a new MMO, but don't really want to pay for it.
