Russell Howard - LIVE!

Advantages: Histerically Funny
Disadvantages: Might not be your taste

...I have always enjoyed watching stand up and happily spend many evenings with the other half, falling asleep giggling to something silly. My favourite comedians include, Bill Bailey, Eddie Izzard, Jim Davidson, Lee Evans and Tim Minchin. While browsing through HMV a few weeks ago, making a few usual impulse buys in the hope of finding something good, I spotted Russell Howard's "Live" DVD. The name rang a bell and I briefly remembered seeing a 2 minute clip of Russell on youtube and finding it funny. So the DVD was brought for 9.99. If you have never seen Russell Howard before or seen any of his material, I can only describe him as being hysterically funny with a boyish charm. His youthful physical appearance, accompanied by a very cheeky grin really add to the already funny material he produces. He is very active and almost hyper...

Review of Russell Howard - Live (DVD)

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...

Trevor James Artemis Saxophone (Alto)

Advantages: Cheap for a saxophone, decent sound, good, reliable manufacturer
Disadvantages: Some parts not that robust, need to shop around for best price

...I was recommended the Trevor James Artemis Saxophone (Eb) by my music teacher when I began learning the saxophone about 7 months ago. It was recomended mainly due to price, and for the price I am pretty sure that there is not much better out there. I have realised that it is a 'beginners' sax as the tone is not as rich as a more expensive one, nonetheless it is perfectly adequate for the beginner and I expect to keep it for some years, and, though I may buy another sax too, I will probably keep this as a spare rather than pass it on. It is a fairly good looking saxophone, not that this is very important, what is important is that all the keys and mechanics work well. Considering the prices that most saxophones are, there is no doubt that more people would play if it was widely known that this saxophone can be purchased...

Surprising Picture Quality - Panasonic DVD-S54

Advantages: Incredible picture quality when compared to my old non-upscaling player with a scart lead
Disadvantages: Sometimes disc drive can be really noisy when DVD's initially load.

...At first I wasn't convinced by up-scaling DVD player technology but was persuaded after reading an article in "What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision" magazine. Unable to afford a Blu-Ray player my sister and I bought the Panasonic DVD-S54 to match our parents brand new Panasonic TX-32LZD80 LCD television as their Christmas 2008 present. Admittedly it was a slightly selfish purchase as we both live at home and wanted to watch DVDs on the big new TV ourselves! We bought the player from the electrical retailer Comet for about £100 just before Christmas so there were no discounts applied. On Christmas day when opened we found a relatively small box tightly packed with the player in polystyrene packaging. All the components such as cables, remote and manuals were well presented in their own protective plastic bags, to keep them protected. The player...

Trevor Sorbie Your Product Works

Advantages: Easy to use. Visible results after the first application. Inexpensive. Smells nice.
Disadvantages: Lumpy looking.

...Once again, I decided to try something new on my hair, to try and add a little more shine. I have quite dull hair, although it is washed often. I would say it is a little dry and unruley at times too. I'm not usually one that spends money on products that claim to add shine or act as a repair treatment, as in the past they haven't normally worked. This time though, I spent a long time looking around, and finally decided to try this product. Trevor Sorbie intensive hair repair, with deep vitamin E. **********************PACKAGING*********************** This product comes in a brown/bronze tub. It has a screw action lid and within this lid there is another one. This one is cream/white in colour and acts as a stopper. If the main lids comes off, then this one is fitted tightly inside the tub, to provent any spills. It is easily lifted...

Review of Trevor Sorbie Intensive Hair Repair

Can't shout trevor at climax

Advantages: Cheapish
Disadvantages: Hard to squeeze out

...Excuse the title but this is a another "handbag" opinion on a beauty product. I bought this stuff in Wilkinsons for £1.99 for 250mls. I have very long hair and use a big handful so it'll only last me a couple of weeks. It is no longer in a tube but in a plastic (phallic) dark grey container that is very difficult to squeeze without having to jump on the bottle to extract the contents. About the contents of trevor sorbie's (he appears to favour lower case), professional conditioner riche gloss (crap syntax - up with which I shall not put). It is thick, white and smells a bit like a Bounty bar (yuk). I find it quite odd to apply as it seems to slide off wet hair before it has a chance to sink in - maybe its just my hair but half of the handful I eventually manage to squeeze out seems to end up in the bath. It is supposed to give...

Review of Trevor Sorbie Riche Conditioner

Oh Trevor, Don't Stop, Give me more

Advantages: Prevents: Colour Fading, Frizz, Flyaway Strands, Heat Damage, No additional products are needed
Disadvantages: Initially can seem a little pricey

...Now, I like to blow my money after I get paid LOL. On the actual day I got paid, I thought to myself. ‘Now that I have all this money I’ll buy myself a decent shampoo and conditioner.’ Now, I visited my local Boots, as I needed to buy my dad a birthday present and my mum and dad an anniversary present. I was looking around the shops when I saw the ‘3 for 2’ offers section. Here I bought my dad an FCUK weekend kit and an even bigger bottle of shaving gel, getting the FCUK hair gel free (which I gave to my boyfriend Richard, the little scrounger LOL). I also saw a Trevor Sorbie section offering ‘3 for the price of 2’ on their products, and I was generally browsing through their section when I came across the ideal shampoo for me. It was ‘Colour Preserve’ by Trevor Sorbie...

Review of Trevor Sorbie Colour Preserve Shampoo

Mr.Nice by Howard Marks

Advantages: An Excellent, Intelligent, Thought-provoking, Honest read.
Disadvantages: Sags a bit in the middle but picks up again as soon as he is in prison!

...I found this book to be excellent! It was a really enjoyable read. Howard Marks puts across his entire life in a completely honest and genuine way. He is clearly a likable man and no matter what he has done you really can't help but be on his side! The fact that the basis of this book is his life involved with Cannabis did not really occur to be as a bad point within this book as it is told with such charm, wit, honesty and integrity that he could have been writing a book on anything and I'm sure I would still find him a brilliant writer and man. This is not an easy-to-read stoners book, it is a detailed journey of Mark's life and (as I quickly established) he is not a man with no brains who smokes weed, he is incredibly insightful, clever, funny and intellectual. When he gets to prison I really felt emotion as I read. He...

Review of Mr Nice - Howard Marks

Trevor's Lodge

Advantages: Great when on offer
Disadvantages: It's not the Ritz

..., then you could end up paying a lot more for the room - £89, I think was the rack rate displayed in the foyer. 2 Room Layout ++++++++++++ As well as trying to please the ownership of the chain with full rooms, the goal is to provide customers with familiar rooms. Go anywhere in the Travelodge Empire, and the rooms will be virtually similar... variety is not the name of the game. While some criticize that, I find it perfectly acceptable when the purpose of the room is utilitarian - somewhere safe, warm and comfortable to sleep before business the next day. No - not even Trevor would take his significant other to a Travelodge to celebrate a romantic weekend as part of a wedding anniversary.!!!? - it is so much cheaper to stay at home for such important occasions.! So the rooms have a comfortable bed, carpet on the floor, plenty...

Trevor James Blues

Advantages: easy to play. smooth, silky , sexy tone. low maintenance costs, looks classy and ages well
Disadvantages: was quite expensive to purchase

...Seven years ago, when my parents finally gave in to my incessant pleading for me to take up the sax, they purchased a brand new Trevor James Horn Alto sax. When they bought it home and I first laid my eyes on it, I had up until that day, never seen anything so beautiful in my life. I adored it - it was shiny, brassy, classy and very sexy - everything I had dreamed it would be...until I tried to play it. Then it was a different story. Any beginner will tell you, the first blow through that mouth piece is the hardest you will ever blow - and oh how right they are!! To say I sounded like a fog horn amplified would be a compliment never mind calling the social services for noise pollution. But, I had wanted to play the sax for so long, I was not about to let myself be discouraged that easily. So I stuck at it and continued to give...
