Advantages: Image adjustments to give great view, waterproof, adjustable eye-relief
Disadvantages: fixed magnification, average build and design quality

...Binoculars are mainly used by bird watchers as to get a closer look at them. Many people also use binoculars for occasions such as holidays where they travel to destinations of natural beauty. Using a binocular enables them to see the scenic beauty from a better and closer perspective. The Olympus 8X25 WPI is labeled professional, but can obviously be used by everyday and ordinary people. These particular binoculars have an 8x magnification ability. This is simply the power of magnification on the binoculars, the 8x magnification means that the object or area you view through the binoculars is going to appear 8x larger or closer. The 8x magnification also means that this is the maximum and minimum magnification power of the binoculars. You cannot view an object or place with a lesser or higher magnification than 8x...

Advantages: Tasty Snack Bars. Slightly Better Than Choccy Bars
Disadvantages: Coconut Variety Is Tricky To Eat Without Mess!

...and coconuts flavours, and intend to try the milk chocolate variety after my next trip to Tesco. The current price of these is £1.49 and that gets you 8 x 25gm bars, so that’s not bad value for money. The main ingredients in more detail are oat flakes, toasted rice, sugar salt, malt flavouring, glucose, glucose syrup, honey, glycerol, reduced fat cocoa powder, flavouring and emulsifier. As standard ‘issue’ with a Kellogg’s product are vitamins and minerals comprising iron, vitamin B6, riboflavin, thaimin, folic acid, and vitamin B12. Unfortunately the product’s box fails to communicate in what quantities or percentages of RDA (recommended daily amount) the bar contributes. This is something that I am not too happy with, given that I am in the food business, this is not quite right I feel. So, marks have to be knocked off here. The white... Read review

Advantages: Inexpensive
Disadvantages: Status

...***INTRO*** I discovered Tesco's value chocolate whilst searching for something special. At £0.53 for 200g it seems like good value. It comes in a oblong plastic bag with a picture of white chocolate on the front. I bought mine in May 2005, it is best before 2006. Store in a cool dry place. ***THE PRODUCT*** The pack contains 8 x 25g servings. Ingredients include sugar, cocoa, butter, whole milk powder, soya , emulsifier and flavourings. Each serving contains 136 calories, 8.7g fat (of which 5.4g are saturated) and traces of salt. Suitable for vegetarians. ***THE TASTE EXPERIENCE*** The chocolate had a strong taste of powdered milk with a creamy texture which might be more attractive to the younger consumer. even so I found it difficult to stop after 1 or 2 pieces. The chocolate added something to the taste of TESCOs... Read review

Advantages: Cadbury's chocolate - Always an advantage
Disadvantages: Not as nice as I remember

...biscuit, and thankfully is fairly thick. * Price Tesco.com has these biscuits listed at 94p per 200g pack, and also Cadburys Choc Animals Mini Packs 8 x 25g for 98p. Not too expensive, but given that these are not a favourite of mine, these will only be bought every now and then. * Overall Three stars overall. The biscuits aren't as nice as I remember then from when I was younger, and the animals are by no means clear and easy to identify. The Cadbury's chocolate is a saving grace, as the biscuits alone would be fairly bland. I’ll leave this op with the words of Zippo The Hippo, which appeared on the back of my pack: “They’re non-stoppin’, belly-floppin’ delicious” says Zippo The Hippo. “Dive into a pack anytime, but better not eat them in the water – you don’t want soggy Animals.” Don’t say you haven’t been warned!...

Advantages: The greatest band in the world...
Disadvantages: ...aren't they?

...- not the handsome actor Who plays a hero’s role Hero - not the glamor girl Who’d love to sell her soul" A quite magnificent achievement as Rush surpass themselves with both message and medium. The lyrics are enlightening and entreating, telling stories of sadness and nobility in the face of human frailty. This song is about what it really means to be a hero - not your media-manufactured actors, singers and sportstars, but everyday people who do extraordinary things. Musically, this stands out also. Slower, sparser, with some beautiful sweeping synths underlying the chorus and lovely strumming acoustic guitar, this is music for grown-ups; mature and intelligent. (10/10) 5. Between Sun And Moon (4:37) "There is a fine line between love and illusion A fine place to penetrate The gap between actor and act The lens between wishes... Read review

Advantages: Great high speed action, a sporting soap opera of mixed emotions
Disadvantages: Sometimes tragedy occurs

...speed, leaving him with serious head injuries and in a coma. He returned to racing and won his first race in 1997. Michael Schumacher – Britain 1999. Brake failure at over 190mph caused Schumacher to hit a wall at Stowe and break a leg. Again the sheets came out to cover the images of an injured sportstar. MY EXPERIENCES: You’d be forgiven for thinking that I had a ‘downer’ on the sport from reading my introduction. That is far from the case. I love Formula One with a passion. I have a room at home full of memorabilia that I have collected over the last fifteen years or so. I have videos for each year, together with the corresponding books. I have numerous books, miniature cars and helmets that I have collected over the years. My pride and joy though are two Peter Radcliffe (Windsor) Limited edition prints of Damon Hill... Read review

Advantages: Easy on the eye
Disadvantages: Not exactly likely to pull any of them

...to look good. Rant over. Gabriella Sabatini --- Remember Gabby Sabby? Quite possibly the loveliest tennis player to ever pick up a racquet (that includes YOU, Kournikova!), Gabby really was an attractive individual (she still is of course, it's just that she's not in the public eye these days). To be honest, it was probably Gabriella who started off the current trend of glamourising female sportstars, and Anna Kournikova wouldn't receive the modelling contracts that she does these days if Gabby hadn't done it ten years earlier. The best thing to come out of Argentina since Mario Kempes. But with better hair. Jennifer Connelly --- Ah, another Jennifer. A lot of you may not have heard of Jen until she won an Oscar(tm) last year playing Russell Crowe's wife in "A Beautiful Mind", but she's actually been around for AGES. In fact it... Read review

Advantages: Tremendous value for money
Disadvantages: Poor circulation sales

.... At the end of this section are a few pages on motoring. I like the road sage article, which gives you advice on maintaining the car and driving tips. Many readers like the weekly article by Jeremy Clarkson. His TV chat show put me off. He always did the show in jeans. His idea of fun was putting an egg in a microwave oven and watching it explode. I was not a fan of BBC2’s ‘Top Gear’, which he presented. Fortunately the series has now been scrapped. The sports section takes me about 1 hour 45 min to read. THE FUNDAY TIMES This section is for kids but I enjoy reading it. There are cartoons strips featuring Scooby-Doo, Loony Tunes characters, Tintin and my favourite Beryl the Peril. There are interviews with popstars, sportstars and other celebrities. There are also competitions and reviews of books, CDs and PC... Read review
