Its on the ball

Advantages: efective little cleaner
Disadvantages: Noisy

...I have a small home so when I needed a new vacuum cleaner I chose the Dyson DC24 which is a smaller version of the standard model. It cost £189.99. I was expecting almost a child sized vacuum cleaner but there is not really much difference at all. It was so simple to put together, there are peel off stickers on the unit to explain things as you go. It only took me 5 minutes to have it assembled. The ball makes vacuuming effortless, and the head of the vacuum is narrow so its easy to get under the sofa, low tables, etc. It has strong suction as you would expect from a Dyson but it is surprising how full the cylinder is when you have finished. It really gets everything up. This does mean however that you need to empty the dust cylinder quite frequently. The power cable is short and not retractable which can look a bit untidy if it is...

Dyson DC25 Animal - Having A Ball!

Advantages: Large collecting bin and great suction!
Disadvantages: Not so Lightweight, and Power Cord could be longer.

...I bought my Dyson DC25 Animal about a month ago now, and have been very pleasantly surprised by the results. My old vacuum worked perfectly and I was more than happy with it, but once it started emitting smoke during use, I knew it was time to purchase a replacement. I did a little internet research and as we have a cat, the animal dyson appeared to be our best option. I was intrigued by the "ball" by Dyson and went to Curry's to have a closer look. The handling of the Dyson Ball is very smooth and remarkably easy. Once you've released the locking mechanism that keeps it upright, the vacuum becomes very flexible. No more pushing and shoving the vacuum around the room or furniture. With a simple turn of the wrist the Dyson goes exactly where you want it to go. I've found that the suction is incredible. With my previous...

Review of Dyson DC25 ALL Floors / DC25 BALL HEPA

Dyson Ball DC25

Advantages: Very light and very manoeverable.
Disadvantages: Bit too light and moves around a lot.

...on the machine to stop it moving around. It comes with a 5 year guarantee which is not bad for household equipment, but the replacement filters are around £18 which i thought a bit expensive. The tools are easy to use and simple push in to the side of the machine. Very easy to clip on and off and of course saves storage space as they fit into the machine itsef. Removing the filters i found the top one easy, but the one in the ball very fiddly and quite hard to get out. On the whole i would recommend this product but only for small houses or flats. If you have a large home then i would suggest the larger and heavier model of this cleaner....

A Big Ball with a Big Impact

Advantages: cheap, easy to use (relatively), extremely effective, used for all sorts of training
Disadvantages: maybe its overall size

...of exercises you can achieve with the gym ball, these are a useful point of reference www.brianmac.co.uk www.fitness4rugby.com www.sports-coach.net www.pponline.co.uk sportsmedicine.about.com PRICE Now my one cost me £15 off of Amazon.com and was the basic package (a 65cm ball, dvd, pump). However the price does range from as low as £10 just for the ball, through to £30 which has a swivel seat and resistance tubes. In conclusion, The gym ball is cheap, easy to use but most importantly extremely effective. It can be used to train a number of different areas of your fitness, or just be used as a chair to improve posture! My contender for best piece of home gym equipment. Hope that helps, Kind Regards, Logan...

I love Rugby League

Advantages: Fantastic family sport - much cheaper than football
Disadvantages: None.

...What is Rugby League. Rugby League is a sport that has its roots actually in football history although neither sport bear any resemblance to what we know them as today. Way back in the early days of the sport it was called football and this was played in schools, although each school seemed to have their own version of the rules. There where 2 versions of the game, the handling of the ball and the kicking game (19th century). These 2 versions later became know as the Football Association and the Rugby Football Union. During 1895 rugby had lots of problems mainly brought about by the fact that there where lots of northern working class team who had great success much to the disgust of the gentry who ran the game There where many disputes relating to time off work to play, where pay was stopped and as there where more...

Review of Rugby league in general

Rugby Fever

Advantages: Realistic matches and wide choice of gameplay
Disadvantages: Lots of controls to master. Poor Camera angles.

...gaming there is the option to have up to 4 players in any one game. Player vs player games are excellent and function just as they should. The only downside occurs when two players play on the same side and it is possible to spend large amounts of time with only one person doing anything. Changing the control of players requires manual selection which can be difficult and frustrating to master. The main downside to this game are the rotating camera angles. From any kick-offs or drop-outs it is impossible to determine where the ball has gone as the tracking of the camera is terrible. This resolves itself once the ball is caught. The graphics are also poor at times and look very weak on certain moves. I think EA Sports have concentrated on gameplay rather than aesthetics in this version. The crowds look dreadful. If you are a Rugby fan...

Taggie ball!

Advantages: fun, cute, baby friendly
Disadvantages: doesn't roll...

...- Mr Panda was the first toy she was every really interested in which I think was due to his black and white nature. This ball stands out for her amongst her other toys as it is so stark in the contrast of colours. It is also a good size so she can hold it and squeeze it as she fiddles with the ribbon. Because it is round it gives my baby chance to get used to holding items that aren't hard or flat but instead a different shape and feel in her hands. She likes to turn it around and around studying every angle of it before having a good chomp. Because of the ribbons this ball doesn't run along the floor like you would expect a ball to but this doesn't bother me at all. I like the fact that it is a ball so I can teach my baby that it's okay to throw her balll but she should be looking after her other toys. This toy is great, it...

Review of Taggies Toss The Taggie First Touch Black & White Ball

Split or steal? (Golden Balls)

Advantages: Tense
Disadvantages: Repetitive

...~~~Golden Balls~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ First I'd like to say I'm not really a fan of some of the game show sthat are on the tv nor do I really get chance to watch some of them because of work. But the last few weeks I have starting watching Golden Balls when I have got home from work and nothing else has been on. The show currently rums on ITV1 each weekday at 5pm, it runs for 1 hour and is hosted by comic veteran Jasper Carrot. I personally have nor seen Jasper Carrot host a show before instead I'm used to seeing him with his stand up routine's or tv shows like The Detectives. ~The format: The show is split into 3 rounds with the final contests facing the crucial question split or steal? 1. Jasper introduces the 4 contestants during the first round and we get to see the lottery like machine in the back ground with 100 golden balls. You...

Review of ITV - Golden Balls

It's not from Rugby. Is it brewed under licence

Advantages: A bottle conditioned ale
Disadvantages: Very ordinary. It's not brewed in Rugby

...the town of Rugby and the game. The brewery also produces Nun?s Ale at 4.5% ABV The Church End Brewery does not maintain a website. THE BOTTLE Rugby ale arrived in a standard dark brown beer bottle which had no other distinguishing features. It was closed with a plain gold crown cap. The front label shows a picture of a rugby ball with the logo ?Rugby Ale: The Strong Dark Ale? emblazoned across it. The contents (500ml) are brewed to 5% ABV. The rear label gives a short but standard account of the invention of the game of rugby football by William Webb Ellis at Rugby School in 1823. More importantly there is a description of the production of the ale itself. Ingredients are not stated but the beer is not filtered or pasteurised, allowing further fermentation (bottle conditioning) to proceed. Storage in an upright position is...

Review of Rugby Ale

  ♦Cosmic Cleaning With Saturn's Balls♦

Advantages: Eco Friendly, Could save you money in the long term
Disadvantages: Expensive initial cost, Not too good without Stain Remover

...detergents. Ecoballs® are exactly that "Balls", made of plastic and green in colour with a sponge ring around them, making them resemble a UFO or Saturn (that's the planet not the Roman god of agriculture). I'd say they are about the size of a tennis ball (discounting the sponge ring). Each ball is filled with small round white and brown (more white than brown) pellets. These pellets do not contain soap, so they are kinder on the environment, your clothes and your washing machine. Because there is no soap present means you could actually save energy and water as you can dispense with the rinse cycle, that's assuming you have the facility on your machine to do so. The fact they don't contain any harsh chemicals suggests they are extremely good to use if you have sensitive skin. Not only are they hypo allergenic ( approved by Action Against...
