Down to the Last Drop

Advantages: Good food, friendly and cosy
Disadvantages: Not a great choice of beers

...Directly behind, and far, far below Edinburgh Castle, lies the Grassmarket - a small open space that has played an important role in Edinburgh's history. As the name implies, the Grassmarket used to be where local farmers brought their hay and other produce for sale. But it was also the location of one of the main gallows in the city and crowds would flock in huge numbers to see the public executions. Pubs in the Grassmarket are not an uncommon sight, they literally line the streets, jostling for position, side-by-side, one after another. Two pubs that are not only next door to each other, but share a common theme, are MAGGIE DICKSON'S and THE LAST DROP TAVERN. Immediately outside their doors was the scene of public hangings back in the 18th century. Maggie Dickson was one of the victims of the gallows, but when tossed...

Earex ear drops

Advantages: A big help for hardened wax
Disadvantages: none

...there is a huge temptation to reach for a cotton bud and try to remove it manually...Big Mistake!...our GP told us that poking about with a cotton bud can do far more harm than good, more often than not you end up pushing the wax further down into the ear canal and heaven only knows what damage you are doing to your inner ear in the process. This is where a visit to the pharmacy counter comes in, Earex drops are usually found on the shelf. Earex contains almond oil,peanut oil and camphor oil, all are substances that help to soften the hardened wax and help it to come away from the ear more easily. But always bear in mind if you have a nut allergy then you cannot use earex. Once the bottle has been opened then you should not keep the contents for any longer than eight weeks. I generally put the Earex drops into my husbands ears...

Last gasp Jonny gets the Golden Drop on Aussies

Advantages: Available at your local supermarket ? everywhere
Disadvantages: Rather odd flavour, not really to my taste

...? Will it be bitter, dark, flavoured with herbs? Who gets to give it the name? You will also recall that I have had something of a penchant for beers that have additional flavourings (berries, spices, blossom). Some have produced ales that are superb; some are an acquired taste; others abject failures. This offering, Golden Drop, promises a gustatory treat. THE BREWERY The company was founded by John Marston in Burton upon Trent in 1834 and developed the Burton Union system (interlinked oak casks, pipes and troughs which produced a characteristic creamy ale). They claim their pale ales are exceptional due to the waters of the Trent Valley which are rich in salts, gypsum and magnesium (but with no bicarbonate). According to Paul Bayley, the head brewer, ?calcium sulphate [gypsum] reduces sugar and helps produce more alcohol. It keeps...

Review of Marston's Golden Drop Ale

Cerumol Ear Drops. Effective and easy to use.

Advantages: No horrid side effects, easy to use
Disadvantages: May not shift stubborn wax

...Review of Cerumol Ear Drops Why I Bought it Both my daughter and my partner have hearing loss, for different reasons, but they both suffer with the discomfort of hardened, excessive ear wax. The condition is uncomfortable for them as the presence of the wax can have the effect of lessening what hearing they do have. Unfortunately, a side effect of my partner's hearing aid is that it causes a build up of ear wax. Cerumol was recommended to me by my daughter's Doctor when she was little and I have since purchased it for my partner. The Product **Packaging** Cerumol Ear Drops are designed to aid the loosening and removal of ear wax. The product is for external use only and is a safer alternative to using cotton buds to dislodge excessive ear wax. The product is presented in a white and cerise pink cardboard box...

Drop dead Fred

Advantages: Hilarious entertainment
Disadvantages: none

...childhood 'Drop dead Fred', (played by Rik Mayall), who only Lizzie can hear or see. With many flashback later, the story unfolds as to how Lizzie happened upon Fred and how Fred would always get Lizzie into trouble. But as Lizzie was now in the same state of mind as when she was younger, being depressed and alone, she unleashes the power of the very naughty Fred. As Lizzie tries to get her life back on track, attempting to patch up her marriage, Fred is at her side, trying to help in his own haphazard way? **IN CONCLUSION** Well what can I say about this movie..??? Hilarious?, comical?, side-splittingly funny? Well all three spring to mind. As most people had/have imaginary friends when they are kids this movie opens your mind to just how difficult a friend like that can be. The story is well written and the all round...

RABBIT DROPPINGS

Advantages: Enables me to give bunny some lacking vitamins
Disadvantages: My bunny finds them bland.

...My rabbit was christened Tasha. I was a naive rabbit owner who knew nothing about nutrition of rabbits and even less about rabbit care. Before I bought the rabbit, I read books on how to look after this beautiful black and white animal that I had already chosen to buy. What I learnt was a valuable lesson in that my preconceptions about bunnies were wrong, unfounded and certainly needed educating. Tasha, within a week, turned out to be a boy who has been called anything from Mr. Rabbit to Ratbag for the last two years. Finding food that is acceptable to Mr. Rabbit is sometimes difficult because this particular rabbit knows what it likes and will reject those things that he finds disgusting, just as humans do. For treats, I started to try the Vitakraft range which are available in France and packaged in such a way that one would think...
