An Expedition to IKEA Leads to Expeditious Expediting Of EXPEDIT

Advantages: Cavernous, easy to build (mostly). Neat styling and apparently well made
Disadvantages: Bloody heavy & unlikely to survive taking apart (after all who keeps the instructions?)

...the room in which we spend most time awake (My wife thinks, incorrectly as it happens, "Oh goody, we're getting a new lounge!"), I set about gutting the room completely. As the task neared completion, the question of storage reared its head. Some bookshelves of formidable capacity were needed, even after a damned good weed-out. It needed to be neat, functional and neutral in design. Naturally IKEA's web-site featured in this process, and that's where the Expedit storage system comes into the equation. The 1.85 x 1.85 metre variant was what we decided to get, in white. Black and beech-effect are also possible. The end result is that you have a nearly 6-foot square bookcase, with 25 cubicles of roughly one-foot in all dimensions. The thick upright sides and four other internal partitions lose about 1/10th of the height and width between...

Review of IKEA Expedit

Ikea expedit - surprisingly good!

Advantages: easy to build
Disadvantages: heavy

...the place for about an hour before we had taken it all in. All the furniture looked great, and the furnishings were really funky too! We had lots of little items in our basket, but as yet had not decided on the bookcase. So we went to the restaurant to decide. We qued for food, and despite the que, we were served very quickly. The cashier told me to grab a loyalty card from beside (Ikea family card), which got us money off the food, and free coffee. A cooked breakfast for me and my wife, and two coffees for £1.98!! We ate, and drank and decided on the bookcase. We chose the expedit bookcase, which was £106. very reasonable, as the thing was basically a 6 foot long, 6 foot high cube of shelves. It looked sturdy,and stylish. So, we picked it up in the self service lobby, and paid for it, along with our other things. I was happy with the level...

Tortec Expedition Bicycle Pannier Rack

Advantages: Versatile, durable, good weight capacity, multiple bike fitment
Disadvantages: Black anodising fades

...What no Fancy title? It's a a rack. It goes on your bicycle. It carries stuff. Enough said. I purchased this particular model because it had a Cycling Plus best buy, and had positive reviews elsewhere. I have a daily 22 mile commute, and need to carry quite a bit of kit, including shower stuff and a change of clothes - my walking rucksack was starting to get rather heavy. The rack comes in silver or black - I bought the black one. The Expedition is a heavy-duty rack, weighing in at 900g with a carrying capacity of 30kg, and comes with a handy bracket for mounting a rear light. The multi-mount fitting system is designed to fit a wide range of bicycles. Out of the box The rack certainly looked the business. It appeared to be well constructed, with tidy wields, good quality anodising, and all screws were stainless...

BSES Expeditions

Advantages: Great destinations, experience of a lifetime, registered charity so not profiting from you, just go for it!
Disadvantages: Ummm.... cost might put people off, although it's pretty standard for this kind of thing it does seem a lot of money at first. You can raise it though!

...I didn't actually go on a gap year expedition, although I have heard they are good. I went on one of their 6 week summer expeditions, to the Tien Shan mountains in Kyrghyzstan, in summer 99. The expedition was fairly typical of the summer ones, with a little over a week spent on a science project, some time doing glacier training, ice climbing etc. and then a two week trek phase. The different types of science work varies with the particular expedition, but often includes ecology-related projects, surveying, geology, glaciology etc. I did a geology project and really enjoyed it. Overall however I think the quality of the science done varies quite a bit, beware if that is your main reason for going, the expeditions are primarily set up for the adventure type stuff. The expeditions usually cost around £2700, although it varies from...

Challenge Yourself

Advantages: Life changing experience
Disadvantages: It costs a lot but then that is part of the challenge

...It would be wrong to think of World Challenge as a travel agent to be honest it is more than that, it is not the place that the average holiday maker would go to book a holiday as it pitches its business at educational institutions, in specialises in arranging expeditions to lesser developed or developing countries for groups of students hence its customers are primarily schools and other educational institutions and it is established in the UK, Australia and Hong Kong. It offers a range of expeditions of varying lengths and to a whole host of destinations, these expeditions can be anything from a week up to five weeks in length and primarily are aimed at 16-18 year olds however there are programmes for those in years nine and ten where the destinations are less exotic and for one to two weeks in duration, kayaking in Croatia...

Review of World Challenge Expedition

Experience a new idea in shelving

Advantages: versatile
Disadvantages: none

...Storage is a big issue in our house, mainly due to the fact that we don?t have enough of it. I suppose no-one ever has enough, but there comes a point when I get very tired of seeing toys all over the lounge floor, bursting through boxes and spilling onto clear space. I have been looking around for a suitable solution for quite a while, and whilst looking on the IKEA website last week I realised I could make use of the expedit range of shelving IKEA sell in more ways than one. The shelving comes in a few different sizes and colours. You can buy a set of shelves that are square in shape at approx 70 x 70 cm. This is the smallest they sell and contains four inner square slots. A range of other sizes are available to include eight inner slots, sixteen inner slots and twenty inner slots. You wouldn?t think there was anything special...

Review of IKEA Expedit

The Best Expedition There Is!

Advantages: So so chocolatey!
Disadvantages: So so fattening!

...dinosaurs & a fudge swirl'. Mmm, delicious! Now as with all Ben and Jerry's ice creams they're best eaten once the containers been left out for a while, that way the ice cream gets soft enough to dig your spoon in! Now, we're on an expedition, searching for dinosaurs. The ice cream is soft enough and we begin to dig. Sure enough after a few attempts we come across a brown, gooey fudgey river. Watch out! You don't wanna fall into that! After several attempts we overcome that obstacle and my, it was delicious! It leaves us with a sweet and creamy taste in our mouths, but enough of that, we won't have enough room in us to finish our expedition. We continue digging. The layers of this strange surface are cream with chocolatey brown fudge layers running through. The ice cream has a very creamy almost milky taste to it, it's very pleasant, maybe not...

Review of Ben & Jerry's Fossil Fuel

Time to Watch out for this!

Advantages: Great designs, child proof, night light function, good price
Disadvantages: None

...nicely done. It's in the box on a plastic circular stand with a label about the Indiglo night light I managed to somehow overlook, and in the box is your guarantee so don't throw it out! As I bought one for my nephew, I know these watches retail at £14.99 but sell on Amazon.co.uk for around £9.99 each. The childrens styles aren't available on the Timex website, but there are lots of styles on Amazon so its worth having a good browse. The watch is great quality, looks fantastic, wears well and most importantly, Harry absolutely loves it and is so proud of it. I'd highly recommend the Time Teachers series as a child's first watch. Dimensions (in case you're interested): Model number: T711224E Band width: 15 mm Watch face diameter: 22mm Watch face thickness: 7mm Company website: http://www.timex.co.uk/ Thank you for reading....
