Not so much a triumph,,,

Advantages: It's not a bad metal album
Disadvantages: Too many throw-away songs...

...they were doing it all as a joke, but then had the feeling that they were actually taking themselves seriously! They have become a parody of themselves, a Spinal Tap with heavier guitars? But what of the 1992 release The Triumph of Steel? The band? Eric Adams ? vocals David Shankle ? guitars* Joey DeMaio ? bass Rhino (aka Kenny Earl Edwards) ? drums* *These two had just replaced long-standing Ross "The Boss" Friedman - guitar Scott Columbus ? drums, who had left the band, but this was the only album to feature both these new musicians. Columbus returned for the next few albums, however. The songs? "Achilles, Agony and Ecstasy in Eight Parts" ? 28:38 Prelude I. Hector Storms the Wall II. The Death of Patroclus III. Funeral March IV. Armor of the Gods V. Hector's Final Hour VI. Death Hector's Reward VII...

Review of Triumph Of Steel, The - Manowar

The Herald - A True British Triumph

Advantages: Ahead of its time
Disadvantages: Handled very poorly. Slow.

...~ ~ When I was a teenager back in 1963, the first car my father ever bought was an old Ford Anglia in which I learned my basic driving skills. Three years later it was traded in, and a brand spanking new car arrived on the doorstep. A Triumph Herald 12/50, in lovely gleaming white, matching white colour-coded rubber bumpers, with a canvas slide-back sunroof, and to top it all, a RADIO. This was nirvana for a 15-year-old boy heavily into the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and all the popular music of the time, and a vast improvement on the old Dansette transistor radio that had sat on the dashboard of the old Anglia, which had truly dreadful reception. ~ ~ In those days cars still had to be ?run in?, and great care was taken for the first thousand miles, with no heavy strain being put on the engine, and the top speed limited (by...

Review of Triumph Herald

Another Triumph for Maclaren

Advantages: Lightweight, good value for money, funky design, reliable
Disadvantages: Stupid brakes but you do get used to it

...I have had a Silver Cross pushchair since Harry was born in March 06, and although I really love that buggy, I have been looking for something smaller for going shopping with, especially now the shops will be busy with people starting their Christmas shopping. I have loved Maclaren buggies for a while, and my partner finally decided that we could get one. I settled on a Triumph, one of the smallest buggies in the Maclaren range, and I am so thrilled with it, I thought I would write a little review on it! Maclaren are probably one of the most well known lightweight pushchair manufacturers. They are most famous for their umbrella-folding buggies which you will mums all over the UK pushing around, and there are many different buggies to suit all needs available from them. Maclaren began in 1965 and have become bigger and better since...

Review of Maclaren Europe Limited Triumph

Maclaren Triumph Triumphs!

Advantages: Lighweight & compact!
Disadvantages: Not many reclining positions!

...I bought the Maclaren Triumph stroller as a lightweight, more convenient method of transport for my little boy. I felt that there was no longer a need to take the travel system pram everywhere, and the Maclaren Triumph turned out to be the perfect replacement. The Triumph is very lightweight and compact, and even comes with a shoulder strap so that you can close it up and sling it over your shoulder when not in use ... that's how lightweight it is. The stroller is made from a very sturdy aluminium frame, and comes with every accessory you would expect from a top quality pushchair, a hood, shopping basket, rain cover and inter-changeable harness'. The stroller has a 5-point safety harness, and the shoulder straps are height adjustable. The stroller is very easy to open out and also folds neatly. The handles are foam insulated...

Review of Maclaren Europe Limited Triumph

Triumph RS

Advantages: Nippy commuter.
Disadvantages: Cramped and thirsty.

...Had one for a couple of weeks while my triumph trophy was in for service. It was in orange so you couldnt miss seeing it. I found it to be small as i ride a much bigger bike, it is very nippy then i realised it has a 955i engine in it. A 3 cylinder so it had a nice sound to it. It is a sports riding position so can be uncomfortable for distance work as your weight is carried through your wrists. It would be good for short distance commuting through a big city as its small and nippy to squeeze through the traffic, that it the kind of commuting i do and it coped but at the end of the journey i found it tiring and will stick with the 1200cc Trophy. I think it would be quite easy to break the speed limit on it without realising as it is small light and powerful. But it does handle very well as a good sports bike should but didnt get...

Review of Triumph Sprint RS

Cornwell's Triumph

Advantages: Superb Read
Disadvantages: None

...showed the beginnings of his hate filled relationship with Hakeswill who was to become one of the main protagonists during the future series. Sharpes Triumph picks up 4 years after 'Tiger'. Sergeant Sharpe is still in India being employed in an armoury, well away from the fighting and generally enjoying his comfortable role. However a routine trip to pick up some ammunition puts him in harms way as he is the only survivor of a massacre as a defecting English officer steals the cartridges as part of his initiation into the enemy forces. As the only man who can recognise the renegade Sharpe is forced to leave his easy role and join a British intelligence officer in his hurt for 'Major Dodd' so he can be brought to justice. This man hunt takes place against the backdrop of one of the largest and most important battles of the Indian campaign...

Review of Sharpe's Triumph - Bernard Cornwell

The Complete Story of Heartbreak and Triumph?

Advantages: Some good, insightful moments and 'forgotten' matches
Disadvantages: Almost the same as the autobiography, lacking depth in some places

...the 'Boyhood Dream' and 'From The Vault' collections, what excited me most about the 'Shawn Michaels Story: Heartbreak & Triumph' set was due to the fact that it wouldn't be purely matches featured on the disks, or even simply interviews and commentaries by himself. Instead, in many ways, this 2007 DVD release would be a series of interviews and opinions from Shawn's peers and critics that would act as an extension to his autobiography from 2006, chronicling the life and times of a wrestler who had worked in many companies before his illustrious WWE run, including the now defunct World Class Championship Wrestling and the American Wrestling Association. WHY DID YOU BUY IT, I HEAR YOU CRY? Well, to put it simply, Shawn is my favourite wrestler of all time. I've loved and respected his work since I was six years old, in fact, the first ever...

Review of WWE - Shawn Michaels - Heartbreak And Triumph (DVD)

Triumph Stag - a flawed fantasy or fabulous flirtation?

Advantages: The Smile Factor. Beautiful looks. Beautiful noises. Open top. Hard top. WOW!
Disadvantages: Like all 30 year old cars, servicing and maintenance is essential. Never neglect a Stag.

...Everyone who didn't own a Stag knows just how bad they were. And the critics will tell you. But the reality is somewhat different. The release of Triumph's first truly luxurious GT, the svelte Stag, unfortunately coincided with its parent company stalling on the showroom floor. (Sir) Michael Edwardes' story "Back from the Brink" exposes just how badly the wheels had fallen off the British car industry in the 1970s. The Leyland juggernaut had too many competing makes and too little development capital, and it presided over a dispirited workforce, many of whom were facing redundancies. Battling unsympathetic unions further added to its woes. Key management staff were shuttled around to stem the haemorrhaging of capital, resulting in projects like the Stag going on the back burner for year after year. The Stag's beautiful body shape was...

Review of Triumph Stag

Triumph Trophy 1200

Advantages: Great all round bike
Disadvantages: May be too large for shorter people

...I own the 2001 version of this bike. The 1200cc 4 cylinder motor sure does pack a punch. It can out perform most bikes on the road. It is a great tourer and commuter especially if the full luggage set is installed. This consists of 2 panniers and the optional top box. I have the triumph panniers but the top box i have is made by shad. The triumph top box is an optional extra and expensive new. It can be purchased on ebay though but you will need to be patient to locate the colour you are after. It is a large bike but is ideally suited to those longer in the leg. It fits me perfectly as im just over 6 foot. The comfort is variable but some people chose to fit an alternative seat such as a corbin or instal a sheepskin cover. The comfort for the passenger is alot better due to the width of the seat. I commute everyday on mine 20 miles...

Review of Triumph Trophy 900/1200

Oral B Triumph - Brilliant!

Advantages: Timer is great
Disadvantages: New style charger means hubby's is different

...teeth always felt kinda gross, not at all smooth, my breath was not as fresh, had a furry tongue etc. But the Triumph has superceded any toothbrush I have ever had. The toothbrush polishes your teeth leaving them feeling really smooth and really clean. It also massages your gums and teeth removing any plaque and leaving them feeling great. Be aware that there are different toothbrush heads available which are all different so make sure you chose one which suits your teeth/gums. The toothbrush heads have the floss technology to help clean between the teeth (though it is not meant to replace flossing) It has a LED indicator telling you the battery status and also it tells you if you've had your two minutes of brushing, and displays a smiley face on the display. It changes the smiley face if you get to 2 minutes 30 seconds too. It...
