Tip top tea

Advantages: Taste, quality
Disadvantages: none

...I LOVE TEA!!! Yes I do, and as I type this, sitting at my desk in my pyjamas I have a cup of tea with me, it?s the first thing I do after I wake up every morning!!! And to prove it, I?ve added a photo of me, with my favourite mug of tea!! (apologies I look mank, I haven?t been awake long!!!!). So, the particular tea product that is in my lovely pink mug (Tesco, 57p, got to love it!!!), is PG Tips, one of the most favourite brands of tea in this country. It?s very well known partly through the clever advertising, that includes the monkeys!!! I remember them from my childhood? So, yes, PG Tips, also famous because of the innovative pyramid bag. The purpose of the pyramid bag is to allow the loose tea leaves to move around freely, and to create a fuller and much more enjoyable flavour, and therefore heighten your tea drinking...

Ooooooohhh + On The OPP Tip

Advantages: Lots of big ones
Disadvantages: A couple of tunes let it down

...?Ooooooohhh.... On the TLC Tip? came out in 1992 and was the debut album from the girl group. TLC. T-Boz, Left-Eye, and Chilli made up the trio and together they came as something brand new and original at the time as they combined elements of R&B and Hip Hop to represent exactly what they are as artists. Judging by the time, many would just call this New Jack Swing, but they took the Rap side to its full potential, and performed this on almost every tune throughout. 1. ?Intro? 2. ?Ain?t 2 Proud 2 Beg? This one kicks off the album, and has the girls start it in just the right way with the single which they debuted on as they sample ?Take Me To The Mardi Gras? and perform a tune which has them going right into some New Jack Swing to up the tempo as you feel the flow of them, and what they are about. **Five Stars** 3. ?Shock Dat...

Broad tips

Advantages: easy to use good thick lines
Disadvantages: none

...We use Berol broad tipped fibre tipped pens at the school where I work. One of my first jobs in the morning is to take out the tray of these pens and put them within easy reach of my students. These broad tip pens are good for writing or colouring pictures they make bold illustrations. They are good for labeling posters too. A wet brush or finger can be used to create a colour wash effect after colouring. . My students are happy to use these broad tipped pens and I am happy with the results. Berol broad fibre tip pens are one of the many stationary items made by Berol. Berol is owned by Sanford which is one of the biggest writing product manufacturers. These pens come in 12 standard colours, black, blue, red, light blue, brown. Green , light green , yellow, pink , grey, purple , orange and 12 extra colours deep brown...

Q-Tip's Gettin' Up: The Renaissnace

Advantages: Consistent quality
Disadvantages: Little variation

..."The Renaissance" is the 2008 released from Q-Tip. This album is his third since staring his career as part of the Jazz Hip Hop crew, A Tribe Called Quest, who have influenced acts such as Lupe Fiasco today. 1. "Johnny Is Dead" For an introductory piece, this is a strong start as it gets you straight into some typical Q-Tip, smooth, jazzy Hip Hop. It is all good stuff and gets you into the right mood for what will follow on from it as his third release without Phife Dawg, Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Jarobi White. **Four Stars** 2. "Won't Trade" The high standard of the early stages of the album isn't dropped on this one as you get another strong piece with Q going on some nice beats whcih have a soft sound, but with a stern beat to keep it in line with expectatctions of an East Coast Hip hop cut. **Four Stars** 3...

Pee-Pee Tips

Advantages: The best tea around, probably
Disadvantages: After taste!

...Being a big fan of coffee – decaffeinated one’s – I’m not a big tea drinker. I tend to have the odd cup on a Saturday afternoon, and when I’m in my Nan’s, but I very rarely have any at all. But, if I do have any at all, I will certainly go for PG tips, because I like the advert, and I can’t find any other! That’s probably how you’ll know what PG Tips tea is, because of the advert that has been showing for over 50 years on television. You could say the Chimps are more popular than the Tips! **The Taste?** I think most people KNOW what tea tastes like, unless they have some sort of an allergy to it. But, don’t be mistaken, not all brands of tea taste the same. They each have an individual taste, which makes you like it, or hate it. PG Tips is one of the very first...

Tip Drill T.I.P. Style

Advantages: Lots of big tunes
Disadvantages: One weak track

...?T.I.P. Drill? came as a 2009 mixtape from the Atlanta rapper T.I. and it finds that it is dropped during his prison sentence from firearms charges. In the thing you get both some fresh cuts (tracks which were all recorded on the lead-up to his time serving at Forest City Correctional Facility) and also some of his biggest hits form earlier in his career. 1. ?Welcome Back To The Trap? (Intro) 2. ?Don?t Give Up? You get a banger of a track here as you see that the rapper comes in strong with an up-lifting track that seems to bring the thing up and give you a chance to actually have fun as you listen to his rhymes as he gets rid of all the Trap-Rap material and Gangsta Rap themes in order to talk on how he has come up from very little and has achieved a lot (even though this dropped whilst he was in prison serving for a year). It is...

A TIP for YOU

Advantages: Always the same, fast brew.
Disadvantages: None

...I have been using tea bags for sometime, PG Tips are my choice. I remember a time before the pyramid bags (tetrahedral shape a registered trade mark). I know the tea tastes as smooth and fresh as it always used to. The bags come in a square box that is easily opened and can be used to store the bags (convenient for the student or entrepreneur). And can be stored for sometime. PG re assure us that they use plantation tips (only the top 2 leaves and a bud) 100% natural. The pyramid bags have less of a barrier than perforated bags so it?s a better way to free the fresh taste. I serve mine in a mug with fully skimmed milk and no sugar and use it to start the day. It is an ideal for biscuit dunking as well. For family occasions I prefer loose tea and small cups. PG suggest up to 6 cups a day do not have adverse effects on the body...

PG Tips Gets The Vote of Confidence

Advantages: Robust. Strong. Excellent Flavour. Easily Found
Disadvantages: Not many unless you dont like tea

...PG Tips-just ask the lovable monkeys-must rank among Britain's favourite teas. They have been a leading name in tea in the UK market-and elsewhere-for years and years. PG tips are owned by the huge Anglo-Dutch conglomerate,Unilever,and their pyramid tea bags really sell well. The product is very intensively advertised both in the print media and on TV and I guess the PG Tips logo must be a familiar sight to most Britons. With PG Tips teabags you are assured of fine flavour and a cuppa which is both consistent and utterly reliable. The company claims that the PG Tips quality comes from selecting only the freshest tips-hence the name-of the tea bush and the careful blending of up to 28 teas from around the world. Well I find PG Tips pyramid tea bags brew very quickly. I also reckon this is a tea full of flavour...

Tipping the Velvet - BBC Drama - Raunchiest they've ever done!

Advantages: Great casting, brilliant script, great story
Disadvantages: Lesbians (not a disadvantage for me but could be to others), a few focal themes from the book lost

...Tipping the Velvet was a BBC series based on the novel of the same name by Sarah Waters. The story line follows the tale of Victorian lesbian Nan Astley, who falls in love with a male impersonator from her local music hall and after befriending her, follows her to London. There they fall into a relationship, and Nan becomes a part of the show under the name Nan King. Their love, however, if not meant to be, and the plot continues... I personally adored this and thought it a brilliant adaptation from the book, which I read after I saw the series. The acting is superb and the casting is some of the best I've ever seen. Nancy herself is fantastic, with a cherubic sort of face and a slight androgyny to her body she is perfect for the role, especially since she has such a low voice. Kitty is stunning, and it's easy to see why Nan falls...

Pg tips pyramid bags are the best

Advantages: great tasting tea good value for money
Disadvantages: can be expensive if you dont shop around

...I am usually a coffee drinker buy now and again a nice cup of tea is refreshing. I have tried other brands such as typhoo and I find that they dont have much of a taste apart from hot water. I started using Pg tips a few years ago and all my family and freinds loved coming for a cuppa and a chat because the tea made it worth while. When I saw the pyramid bags advertised I had to give them a try see if they tasted any better. Oh yes they did! the aim of them is that because the bag is in a pyramid shape it allows the leaves to move around more freeley to be able to relese that memorable taste. This is a true statement I can tell the difference between the normal pg tips and the pyramid bags you get a stronger tea taste with them and they cost just as much I have been able to buy mine for £3 for a pack of 500 on a special offer in...
