FREE DVDs

Advantages: Free trial, large choice, post included,new realeases
Disadvantages: see review

...I like movies and I like freebies, so when you get offered both in one swoop you?re bound to accept! I used my two week free trial with this company and remained with them for a couple of monthsbefore moving on to try many other companies free trials (and winning a new DVD player on Tesco DVD rental site on their free trial offer). I then had an email from DVDs 365 asking me to go back, and offering me a free DVD if I did so. I had just left Tesco (with my new DVD player) so I chose to go back with them. ∆◊◊ THE SERVICE THEY OFFER ∆◊◊ Basically it?s like going to a video shop and hiring films on DVD, except you don?t pay for each film you chose ? rather a monthly fee for which you can watch as many movies as you can fit in, for us this is usually around 8 a month (2 a week usually weekends...

Whimsically Equine (Tim the Tiny Horse - Harry Hill)

Advantages: funny and gentle
Disadvantages: slight

...After doing even tiny bit of research I realised that I must be the only person out there who ever read "Tim the Tiny Horse" having never heard of the author. Thus, I have to take another reviewer's word that it's "typical Harry Hill" and will make an attempt at reviewing Tim as a stand-alone. I am happy to say that it acquits itself well. Tim is a horse, blue and so tiny that he lives in matchbox with a tic-tac box for a conservatory. A single Hoola-Hoop makes his lunch (he prefers barbecue beef flavour) and a fly (called Fly) is his best friend. Tim doesn't do much - apart from a few not very successful attempts at making it big in the media he seems to spend his days watching television and socialising with Fly. The book contains several short morality tales featuring Tim; each of them is a few pages long, with a little text...

Tim Vine Live

Advantages: Genius, fast-paced comedy
Disadvantages: Disadvantages?!

...Released in 2004, Tim Vine ? exquisitely entitled ?The Man With The Golden Pun? by The Independent newspaper ? Holds the Guinness World Record for telling the most jokes in an hour ? apparently it?s 499!! Of course, what constitutes a ?joke? would theoretically be something to make someone laugh?here on his first ever live DVD stand-up, which includes 377 jokes, he certainly does that. Stood in front of an audience surely no more than a 100, on a small stage whilst pouring with sweat, he reels off joke after joke after joke after joke?predominantly one-liners that can be cringe-worthy at times. But the majority of the time, after a couple of seconds you?ll laugh. That?s the genius of the man?by the time you?ve ?got? a joke, he?ll be half way through the next. Hence, you can?t just watch this DVD once! He splits up his session...

Review of Tim Vine - Live (DVD)

Simple curry paste!

Advantages: tasty, easy to use!!! The perfect spiciness for me!
Disadvantages: Not suitable for those with a nut allergy!

... Pataks Original curry paste Introduction When I moved into my own flat with my husband, I had to learn to cook for myself, although I had cooked a lot before at my parent?s house, but not really much, so for the first couple of weeks we lived off jars of pre made curry and chilli, and simple things that I didn?t have to worry much about and didn?t require much skill. But pretty soon that got very boring! We seemed to be eating the same things over and over again, and it was a getting expensive too buying these jars for almost everyday. As my confidence in the kitchen grew, I started making things from scratch rather than using jars all the time! But curry was the one thing I couldn?t make myself, I had no idea where to start, so my only option was the jars. But then I found this curry paste. It only cost...

Review of Patak's Balti Curry Paste

A Curry and a Pizza

Advantages: Yummy
Disadvantages: None

...Recently I had made some Chicken and Pineapple kebabs for tea and was left with 1/2 a tin of pineapple rings in the fridge. The following day I was thinking what to do for tea using the Pineapple rings and as it was Saturday, it is normally curry night in the Paulpry cottage. My favourite from the local Indian Takeaway is a Chicken Balti Kaghani which is made from mint sauce, cream, pineapple and mushrooms, so with me being the adventurous type when it comes to cooking thought I would try to make it. I gave it a go and served it up to my husband without telling him what it was it it tasted nearly as good as the one from the Indian. This curry is a flavoursome curry with using cream and mint sauce. So here is the recipe. Serves Two 1 Onion chopped 18p 1 Chicken Breast per person cubed about £1.50 per Breast 2 fresh Green...

Tim, Ted and the Pirates

Advantages: Very fun book with nice bright pictures
Disadvantages: None

...Tim, Ted and the Pirates is a great fun book I bought for my boys. The cover is red with a white skull and cross bones and has people and pirates popping out of the skull eyes and swinging on a rope. The back cover of the book is also red with a short piece about the book and a picture of a pirate ship. THE STORY The book starts by showing us a picture of the school where Tim goes and his teacher, Miss Wait. It is story time at school so the children make a line and go to get ready for the story. Tim and Ted both sit nicely and wonder which story it will be. Miss Wait tells them that today the story is a special as there is a drink and a lovely surprise. Miss wait tells them that the story is called 'Little Bear's Daring deed'. Miss Wait starts to read and the room fills up with water. What happens to Tim and Ted now...

Time for Tim Tams

Advantages: little nuggets of chocolate heaven
Disadvantages: expensive and hard to come by if not in australia

...Australia the land of “Kangaroos , Neighbours and Tim Tams. No, a Tim Tam isn’t indigenous animal to Australia, nor is it a long running soap opera it is in fact the finest chocolate biscuit ever invented. Ok that is a very strong statement to make but when divas such as Natalie Imbruglia, Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Love Hewitt all state they are there favourite biscuit then they can’t be all that bad! Apparently they are also the worlds number one selling biscuit per capita or so the adverts over here would have you believe. SO what is a Tim Tam? Tim Tams are made by Arnotts. Arnotts was originally an Australian company although are now bought out by some huge American Corporation, Campbells Soup Company I believe, but their biscuits are still made in Australia by Australian workers. Arnotts make some...

The Ultimate Curry Bible?

Advantages: Very comprehensive, interesting background facts, tasty recipes
Disadvantages: Large amount of ingredients can be off-putting, a lot of reading, quite expensive.

...I ordered this book as I enjoy curries and thought it would be enjoyable to make my own. Madhur Jaffrey is one of the most succesful Indian cooks and is a best selling cookery author so I thought this book would be the place to start. First of all this book is very visually appealing - the cover is quite pleasing and not over the top. The real pleasure begins when you open the book however, as it has beautiful pictures and illustrations in the introductory chapter and at the beginning of each section. Madhur Jaffrey begins her book with an introduction which explains the origins and history of curry and how it has evolved over time. The book has recipes not only from India but from Singapore; Malaysia; Indonesia; Thailand; South Africa; Kenya; the UK; Trinidad; Guyana; Japan and the USA. She explains how immigrants have adapted curry...

Topsy and Tim Start School

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...I appreciate that this is an unusual choice of book for a homeschooler to review, but it?s one that I really remember loving as a child. Funnily enough, it is one of the few Topsy and Tim stories that none of my little ones seem to be bothered with. I don?t know whether that?s because it?s outside of their experience or because it just doesn?t appeal to them as much as the other stories. ?Topsy and Tim Start School? is part of the Topsy and Tim series by Jean and Gareth Adamson, which follow the adventures of the two twins as they experience everything that little people do! The book has a blue cover with a picture of Topsy and Tim helping little Stevie Dunton [why they hang out with him I will never know]. The story begins with Topsy and Tim walking past their old playgroup on their way to start primary school. They are excited, but...

No Frills Beef Curry

Advantages: Cheap and Healthy

Chop the beef into cubes, about 1 or 2cm square and brown them off in a pan for about 5 minutes 2. Add the chopped onion and pepper and cook for a further 5 minutes.

Simmer gently...
