Not so much a triumph,,,

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

...think 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

Adventure Ahead!

Advantages: excitement, adventure, fast-paced
Disadvantages: a bit dated

...The Valley of Adventure is the third book in Enid Blyton?s Adventure series. This series consists of eight books which follow the exploits of four children, Philip, Jack, Dinah and Lucy-Ann, along with Jack?s parrot Kiki and their friend Bill. These books follow a pattern which is common through many of Enid Blyton?s stories, where children foil the plots of wicked men in a courageous and exciting way. The stories are very plot driven and have the necessary twists and excitement needed to maintain the interest of young readers. The characters of the children are all distinct, but there?s little character development that occurs, either in the individual books or through the series as a whole. The bad guys in these books always seem to be ?wicked men? who look like bad sorts. Fairly often, they?re foreign, while the children and very...

Review of The Valley Of Adventure - Enid Blyton

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

What an adventure!

Advantages: Great rides, so much fun!
Disadvantages: Prices

...This is my last of my reviews of American theme parks, and I've saved the best park for last. Islands of Adventure (IoA) is part of the Universal Studios group and was built around 12 years ago (they were just building it the last time I had been to Universal). I was in Orlando with 3 friends so we were keen on theme parks with more exciting rides to offer and IoA did not disappoint. GETTING THERE: IoA is part of the same park complex that holds Universal Studios. As with most Orlando attractions it is fairly well signposted. You just need to get onto the I4, the main road through Orlando, and it is signposted off this. There is a ridiculous amount of parking available. Make sure you remember which character and which number you are parked in otherwise you'll be searching for that rental car for hours! Each section is...

Review of Islands of Adventure

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)

A very early Holmes adventure on the movie screen

Advantages: It is Sherlock Holmes!
Disadvantages: Dated and a bit theatrical

...In the world of Sherlock Holmes there are two very well known screen portrayals of Conan Doyle?s immortal detective. Jeremy Brett on the TV screen in the 80?s and 90?s and Basil Rathbone on the cinema screen in the 40?s. There have been many other versions of the character in both formats but most of them are lesser versions, unable to match the style and quality of these two. Before even Rathbone played Holmes though there was a British series of Holmes films starring one Arthur Wontner. The Triumph of Sherlock Holmes was made in 1935 and is one of five Holmes films made in the thirties starring Wontner. One of these is lost forever, a second is rarely seen but the other three are all available on DVD very cheaply. My copies came from the much lamented Murder One shop in central London, a shop that sadly vanished very recently from...
