The Pinnacle Stratus 3.0 E is a good value hybrid

Advantages: Internal hub gears, sturdy frame, nice finish, responsive ride, great price
Disadvantages: Right brake lever could be longer, high Q factor, poor pedal design

...PINNACLE STRATUS 3.0E Product reviews, out of necessity, are full of relative descriptions and judgements based on comparison with a similar product familiar to the reviewer. Therefore, a reviewer?s experience very much affects the review outcome. Reviewers with little or no experience to call upon are likely to compare the product with their own expectations (be they reasonable or not). My review is no exception but I?ll say up front that my experience of adult bicycles is limited to a GT Tequesta mountain bike (steel frame, 3x7 derailuer gears & no suspension) and two lightweight tourers (both with Reynolds 531 steel frame, one with 700C alloy rims and 2x7 speed derailleur gears and the older tourer with 26? steel rims and Sturmey Archer 4 speed internal hub gears). Each tourer was fitted with new parts as they wore over...

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...

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...

Advantages: A lovely book for you or older kiddie to read
Disadvantages: None that I can see

... THE LITTLE FISH WHO CRIED SHARK! TRISH PHILLIPS Sprat scared the fish as they swam through the sea, "Look out, it's SHARK! +He will eat you for tea!"+ Trish Phillips is the author and illustrator of Big Bear, Little Fly and The Little Fish Who Cried Shark and the illustrator of Sam, the Big Bad Cat. Her books are always a delight - both the writing and visually. This lovely hard backed book is eye catching from the cover onwards. As described on the cover, this is truly a "Pop-Up Book with Bite"! This is perfect for little ones, but I'm afraid that the powers that be, the 'elf and fafety mob'have declared that the book is not suitable for children under 36 months'. Which is a REAL pity, asthe storyline and funny pop up pictures are perfect for really small children. This book contains a story...

Shark Attack! (Fooled You!)

Advantages: Teaches children not to lie
Disadvantages: none

...he will tell me what happened in the story and why Sprat was naughty. The story is a bit like the boy who cried wolf but instead it is about a fish, the story teaches children that if they lie nobody will believe them when they are telling the truth. I would say this book is for ages 3 - 7 year olds, there are quite a few words on each page but a young reader with help should be able to read the book. Product Details Pop-Up: 18 pages Publisher: Little Tiger Press Author: Trish Philips Price: £5.99 Amazon...

Review of The Little Fish Who Cried Shark! - Trish Phillips

uncle Diddi rocks!

Advantages: Great fun to read
Disadvantages: none

...important for language development. I think it is very important to introduce children to multi-cultural books to help give them an understanding of other cultures. So much, is written by Trish Cooke, and won the smarties prize in 1995. The book is quite large with a lovely picture of the baby and dad dancing to- gether on the front cover. I love the gentle humour in this book, which can be enjoyed on different levels. So Much is widely available and the cover price is £5.99 in soft back. So there you have it, a brilliant book that I can highly recommend! The I SBN number is 0-7445-4396-7...

Deano, the Chicken and Trish - X rated

Advantages: see op
Disadvantages: see op

...As some of you will know, I spent this weekend entertaining two of Ciaos lovely felines Mel (Cheekychicken) and Trish (Imagefirst). I had arranged to meet up at my flat with Mel on the Thursday and spend the weekend trying to show her what a (ahem!) wonderful city Bradford isn’t. And then on the Saturday we were both going out to meet Trish. Kati (Babyxxgirl) was supposed to join us but somehow disappeared off of planet earth at the time and hasn’t been seen since. (Kati give your head a shek) THURSDAY: Mel had driven up here from Essex, a 220 mile drive and having reached Bradford with her map she got totally lost (typical woman). I gave her the simple directions, which were basically to get to a certain pub (which she did) then turn left at the traffic lights (which she did) and then go strait all the way...

FREE DVDS

Advantages: up to date dvds, four weeks free hire with 3 dvds at a time,
Disadvantages: see review

...My recent quest for FREE DVD hire I visited and many DVD web sites that offered a free trial. Now call me tight (no that wasn?t an invite), but I like bargains and freebies and am not ashamed to say so. My quest took me to enough sites to hire DVDs for about four months so far (with plenty to come too). My latest free DVD site also happens to be the best I have tried for several reasons (see rest of op); the site in question is Blockbuster.co.uk. Other sites that I have had free rentals from and then cancelled have all been similar, two weeks free trial with two DVD?s per time ? which in effect gives you about four free DVD?s. With Blockbuster?s things are different slightly ? which add a great deal of benefit to us the customer. Firstly, you get FOUR whole weeks free rental, which equates to at double the length of time most...

DVDs, DIVX, and looks fantastic.

Advantages: DVDs, DIVX, and looks fantastic.
Disadvantages: none

...Before I bought this DVD player Id never really owned a DVD player before. I had however had and still do have a ps2 on which I used to play my DVDs. I never really went and still don’t go on this so much so I was going to sell it and buy a DVD player. In the end I decided to just keep the ps2 and to get a cheaper DVD player than I was looking for in the first place. The main reason why I wanted a new DVD instead of the one in the ps2 was so I could play divx format DVDs on it. The DVD player in a ps2 doesn’t recognise this format and scene as I have several divx movies already on disk and on my laptop to put onto disk then I wanted a DVD player that would recognise and play this format. Another plus to this format is that it saves space on disks as it compresses movies into smaller file sizes without compromising...
