Cramp Bark

Advantages: Acts as a muscle relaxant
Disadvantages: None

...externally as a cream as well. The parts used are the bark from the branches. Only small amounts can be harvested at any one time. This is because, if large amounts of bark are removed at any one time, it could kill the tree. As it is the bark you'll be using, you need to use it as a 'detoctant'. This is where you chop the bark finely, add it to 1 and a half pints of water, and bring it to the boil. Boil it for a maximum of 10 minutes. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ As with all the other kinds of herbs I've mention in previous opinions, it does a whole range of things for the body. Some herbs do the same thing, but each one does a new thing completely. I find it utterly amazing that these comman plants can do such things for your body!...

Bark Psychosis

Advantages: Completely original
Disadvantages: Never really got the credit they deserved

...Even less people will have heard of this band than some of the others I've reviewed... but they deserve a mention, in fact they deserve more than a mere mention... Bark Psychosis started as a teenage band in the late 80s, who took a number of years to find their feet and their "true calling" as it were, eventually settling down to produce some of the most original, genre-defying work of the last fifteen years. Their music really is that original. That's not to say it's in any ay unlistenable, or completely experimental- the songs are recognisably structured- but in truth the band defies any pigeonholing. In fact the term "post-rock", now a genre in its own right that (and this can all be argued) contains bands such as Mogwai, Tortoise, Isis, Godspeed you Black Emperor, Sigur Ros etc. etc.) was in fact created specifically with this...

Go up the ramp and stop

Advantages: good addition to a wooden railway
Disadvantages: none

...BRIO Stop and Ramp Tracks can be bought at the toy store http://www.woodentoystore.co.uk/brio.php for only £4.95p you can purchase it from this store via Amazon or direct from the store. Amazon say the RRP Iis £12.71 My 6 year old grandson has quite a lot of brio track including this stop and ramp track; he has had this train set since he was 3. He is not playing with it as much as he was but his little sister plays with it now. Brio train sets are fantastic the wooden trains and tracks well made will last a long time. When my grandchildren have finished playing with them, I expect my daughter will sell them on for a good price, or most likely keep them for the next generation in nearly mint condition although they have been played with for many hours. The brio stop and ramp track just adds a little more interest to the track...

The Barking Dog, Lesbian and Gay Pub, Newcastle

Advantages: Nice Crowd, Karaoke
Disadvantages: No really bad disadvantages

...I went to the Barking Dog on friday 26th June. The atmosphere was very friendly. We went upstairs and it was more lesbian than gay. There was karakoe on when we were there and the crowd there was probably about the least stuck up and most down to Earth in the gay village. The bouncers were also friendly. We left just before 1am and it was still open. I am a gay man and went there with my partner who I have been dating for almost a year. It was nice that in the Barking dog is not a cruisey place and its not bitchy either, although it is still a gay pub and with it being more lesbian the mans toilets were nice and quiet! PRICES Bottles of VK were on offer for £1.75 a bottle. Cocktails were also reasonably priced. However the prices of the pints were as expensive as most of the other gay pubs in town. If it had been two...

Stops Ants In Their Tracks

Advantages: effective Ant Bait Station which kills Ants and bait is carried to the nest
Disadvantages: none

...It is that time of year again, we have a little bit of sunshine and the ants decide to come out to play. Having recently sorted the garden out I must have disturbed a nest and found that I had an army of ants walking not only outside my front door but also in a line across my living room. I found that they were coming into the house through a tiny crack by the front door, so needed an ant killer that would work fast. I didn't fancy sprinkling ant powder as this would have had to be put inside the porch and didn't want it to make a mess, so I bought Ant Stop! Bait Station from Tesco. It is available in a pack of two Bait Stations from the Gardening section and costs £2.34. Ant Stop! Bait Station is a round black circle about the site of the top of a Jam jar, with 4 holes for the ants to enter. The Bait Stations are filled...

Stop & Grow - Dont Bother!

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Tastes Terrible

...Stop and Grow, it's a great idea if it worked! The packaging is a bottle with brush, same set up as a nail varnish. The fluid is clear and smells really bad, a bit like nail varnish remover. This small bottle should last you as a little goes a long way and can be purchased from most chemists. The bottle costs around £3- £4. Each day you are meant to put a small amount on each nail and allow it to dry in. As its completely clear you wont be able to tell there's anything on your nails so suited for men too. Each time you put your fingers or nails in your mouth your met with a vile taste. In theory this is meant to help you stop biting your nails and give them a chance to grow and strengthen up. However I have bitten my nails since I can remember and I have tried this several times and it has never worked for me cause I eat through it...

When Your Heart Stops Beating

Advantages: A couple of decent tracks
Disadvantages: The album lacks consistency, a lot of fillers are evident here

...and 'When Your Heart Stops Beating' is therefore a much better offering than what we had from Mr DeLonge. Whereas after the demise of Blink 182, Tom DeLonge took the route of taking himself far too seriously and becoming a complete egotist, +44 are far more light-hearted, and although their music is at times a far cry from that of what they were producing as Blink 182; a lot of the time the tracks here sound like cast off's from Blink 182's self titled release. 'When Your Heart Stops Beating' starts off promisingly with 'Lycanthrope', a track which is fairly pacey and keeps your interest for the 4 minutes that it runs for. Although this track is pacey with strong drum beats and guitars, it's never really anything spectacular and although starts the album nicely enough it will never leave you gasping in awe of what you have just listened to...

Stop the train , then let it go again.

Advantages: Adds play opportunities to the brio train set
Disadvantages: none

...Adrian was 4 years old in November and he was given a brio stop and go station. Adrian already has several brio trains and some wooden train track. .The Tesco wooden trains and track are compatible with the brio system I am led to believe the early learning wooden train set is also compatible. What this station looks like what it does? This stop and go station is a wooden station building a red central tower with two seats for toy people (brio does some, but Lego figures, plan family or play people figures fit well). It is this central section that the stop and go signal are fitted. The roof to the station is green. The walls of the open station are wood colour. The station has a section of train track attached to it. This is the section that is sensitive to a train being on it and when the signal is red any battery powered...

Barking Park

Advantages: Open spaces, boating lake, good wildlife selection
Disadvantages: Rubbish, dogs mess

...Barking Park has long been neglected in favour of the bigger, cleaner parks in the surrounding area. It is time to change public opinion and get the masses into the park again.It's time to clean up Barking Park and put it back on the map. It's time to say bye bye to the many people who have enjoyed destroying the park over the years. It's time to claim back the park for decent law abiding citizens. It's very easy to get to Barking Park, either take one of the many buses that stop outside or walk from the tube station. There are also ample parking facilities. Barking Park boasts a very impressive boating lake, many paths that wind through the trees and down by the lake, plenty of open areas to picnic in and plenty of space for children to run free. It used to have an outdoor swimming pool, but sadly that has long been closed. Take plenty...

Pot Stop

Advantages: Suitable for vegetarians, low fat, the raised bumps for better grip
Disadvantages: Pot labels, artificial looking colour of sauce

..., leaving me neither with stomach ache nor with cravings for more food. Their normal sized pots might be more suited to obliging my snackish tendencies, however (as they are after all supposed to be a snack). At 78p from Tesco.com, I feel that the Snack Stop (Spicy!) Sweet n Sour Noodles provide good value for money. While they might not be the most inspired or taste-blessed meal (or snack) in the world they are really quick and easy to prepare and ideal for grabbing when you're in a rush. And they don't taste half bad either!...
