Advantages: Tin looks nice
Disadvantages: silver isnt silver, expensive, finish

...I have to say I am a big fan of Hammerite products. I tend to always have a good supply of the stuff as I can always find a use for it round the garden, garage or even the car. I even painted up the brakes on my car with Hammerite. The radiator in our kitchen is a small useless little thing that really shouldn't be there. However, it is there and I was for ever painting the thing to try and keep it clean and tidy. I usually paint radiators with white gloss but you tend to find that this yellows off and looks worse than before after a year or two. So on to the seen comes Hammerite Radiator Enamel found after a long time at Focus DIY for a whapping £7.99 for the can. Now yes, that's expensive, but then Hammerite always is. If your looking for a paint that should last well and look good then go for Hammerite. The one I bought... Read review

Advantages: They are long providing full coverage
Disadvantages: No wings to hold them in place

...I always buy Always Ultra towels, but last month I was caught unexpectably without. The shop I went to didn't have Always towels, so I had to choose another brand. I do not like cheap sanitary towels, as it feels like you have a matress between your legs. So instead of choosing those, I decided to try Interlude. I had never heared of this brand before, but they were for heavy flow and night time use, which is what I was after. ********************PACKAGING******************** These sanitary towels come in a lilac wrapping, with white strips down both sides and along the bottom. On the front is the name of the product, and a picture of one of the towels. Next to the towel, is the quantity that you are buying. In this instance, there are 12 towels in this pack. On the back of the packaging, all the writing is in black... Read review

Advantages: Latest status on mobile phones and health
Disadvantages: still doesn't have the full facts (but is the best source as we can get)

...The Carphone Warehouse is currently the only UK site (I can find) which carries a wealth of health information relating to mobile phones. There are other sources of radation figures from (already mentioned in opinions from ciao): http://www.cellular.co.za/health/radiationgsmphonea-to-z.htm and another source from CNET: http://www.cnet.com/wireless/0-1923401-7-3583905.html The Carphone Warehouse guide is quite impartial (considering this is a mobile phone retailer!), stating the facts of known research and is very comprehensive. But the article is quite tricky to find on the site, and is not displayed that prominently, but it is there. The main categories are: Current Guidelines -Basically the latest guidelines are set by the UK's National Radiological Protection Board (NRPB) and International Commission on Non... Read review

Advantages: Great songs
Disadvantages: None

...About the DVD Radiation sickness is a 40 minute, 11 song DVD and video release by amazing thrash band; Nuclear Assault. It is a recording of a gig filmed at the London Hammersmith Odeon in 1988. Track listing 1. Betrayal 2. Stranded In Hell 3. Nuclear War 4. Butt F**k 5. Justice 6. My America 7. Radiation Sickness 8. After The Holocaust 9. Hang The Pope 10. Lesbians 11. Vengeance My opinion This DVD not only shows that Nuclear assault can write some amazing songs but it shows that they are great at performing them live. All eleven of the songs are pretty damn good and it makes a fantastic viewing. The quality of both sound and video is great, bearing in mind that it was filmed in 1988. The DVD shows just how fun a thrash metal gig can be. The highlights of the DVD are "Radiation sickness... Read review

Advantages: Small, heats the fulll room, bargain price
Disadvantages: takes a whle to heat up

...B&Q Oil Filled Radiator Bought one of these around 6months ago our heating wasn't going to be working for a couple of weeks so bought this for the bedroom. Went to B&Q as knew they had quite a selection didn't want a huge one as we don't really have much room in the bedroom. We bought it as a replacement for the halogen that we had been using which the dogs kept walking past and singing their tails in. It takes quite a while to heat up even when it is on full power but once it is warm it is more than enough to warm our bedroom up. It has various settings of heat so once the room is warm you can turn it down which is a really useful feature, the dial for doing this how ever does not have numbers on it and I do think it would benefit it if it did so you could turn it down a set amount and know which setting you usually use...

Advantages: look pretty, usually soft
Disadvantages: expensive, small, pretty useless

...I have fallen into the trap of buying hooded towels for both of my children and each time wondering why I bothered. Basically what they are are very small towels, more like hand towels, with an extra triangle shaped piece of towel sown into one corner in order to make a hood. This time I chose a Mothercare pack of three towels in shades of pink and white. This cost me £12, but if you shop around you can find them slightly cheaper at around £3 per towel, or a lot more expensive like toys r us at £9.99 per towel! I was disapointed with the mothercare ones as while in the pack they look quite thick and soft but upon opening you realise that the thickness comes from layers of cardboard wedged in between each towel! They are thin and not exactly rough but they could be softer. The idea is that you put the hood over the babys head... Read review

Advantages: baby looks cute in it
Disadvantages: expensive purchase

...I was given one of these hooded towels as a present when my son was born 18 months ago.I was of course delighted to receive it,just so you don't think i'm an ungrateful ill mannered individual!However having said that it's not something I would have bought for myself for the following reasons- 1.The towel is very expensive,mine came from mothercare and cost £10!Probably because it had winnie the on! 2.The towel is quite small(about 100x50 cm)and didn't last very long.I only used it for about 2 months. 3.I found the towel difficult to fold as the hood means you have to fold it diagonally.Yes I know that's sad but I like my towels in a neat folded pile in the airing cupboard! Now for a more detailed description-The towel is about 100cm-50cm.It is 85%cotton and has a hood on one corner.The idea is that you wrap the baby... Read review

Advantages: Aborbant, small for packing
Disadvantages: a bit small

...I purchase one of these about a year ago and it has been fairly good. There are many advantages this has over a regular beach towel, but the disadvantages are also highly apparent. But firstly the advantages: 1. It is unbelievable small compared to a regualr towel and with its size comes a huge decrease in weight too. Now although this is especially important for trekkers and backpackers it is also useful for holiday makers who want to save that bit more space in their suitcase. 2. Unlike normal holiday towels this one is super absorbant too. They are very small and you only just keep your dignity but with this tiny towel you can easily dry your whole body. 3. They are very soft too, which i suppose is connected to their absorbancy, so when you lay it down on the beach its actually nice to lay ontop of it unlike the rather... Read review

Disadvantages:

...With the current mobile phone boom now reaching saturation point it naturally follows that everyone shows major concerns about their side effects. Although there is scientific evidence which shows cellular radiation is harmful to humans I personally feel that each case is different and depends on each individual user -for example how long a person uses their mobile phone a day and what devices they use - a hands free kit being preferrable and reducing the amount of radiation exposure. Moderation, like with most things in life is the key. However, although a person chooses to use a mobile phone -what about passive exposure of people who do not? Also animals? I feel it is very much a wait and see situation by which time it will be too late. I certainly feel that the government isn't doing anything for this area of concern and using... Read review

Advantages: Compact, Functional and pleasing to the eye.
Disadvantages: Only really holds 1 towel.

...in the box, I decided to investigate further, so, I opened the box to find all of the fittings required included in the price. I also, found that it included easy to follow instructions, written step by step. It was also of a very high quality, better than I first thought, plus the finish was excellent. The finish to the towel ring was smooth with no marks or blemishes. Once I had seen, this product and found that there was other items, also from this same range that would complement my bathroom, I decided to purchased it, along with several other products all of which were of an outstanding quality for a great price of only £9.98 per product. I found theses value for money for such lovely bathroom accessories. When I got it home, I installed it straight away with the simple but affective fittings which took me approximately 5 minutes...
