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

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

...wrestling match I saw was the night he defeated Bret 'The Hitman' Hart to begin his first reign as the then WWF Champion. In many ways, he is the only reason why I still watch wrestling now-a-days; don't get me wrong, there is some great talent out there. Yet many of it is underused or put in such poor booking positions (it is all scripted, ya know) that it's becoming unbearable to watch. But I knew buying 'Heartbreak & Triumph' would not be a poor decision; the three disk set boasted many promos, deleted scenes from the overall DVD package not to mention stories of Shawn throughout his sometimes turbulent life to two additional disks packed full of classic match ups, including many from the very start of his career. CONTENT AND DOCUMENTARY As the title of the DVD was taken from that of Shawn's autobiography, I did expect it to...

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

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

A watch for the 21st century

Advantages: Technical features, no batteries, accurate, good looking, Japanese
Disadvantages: None at present

...I once took my battery operated watch to a well known high street jeweller to have the battery replaced, I was told it would only take 5 minutes & cost £4.99, it actually took 30 minutes & cost me £9.99 as they had problems with the battery. When I took it home the small stop watch function wouldn't work & the built in alarm didn't work either. I took it back & explained it was OK before they touched it, but they refused to accept liability so I was left with a watch that never worked properly again. On another occasion another jeweller presented with a different watch stated that the movement was faulty & would cost approx £75.00 to replace, I left the shop & purchased a battery for 99p from Maplin, fitted it myself (this one had a small slot on the back to access the battery) & has worked perfectly since. To say I have lost faith...

Review of Citizen Eco-Drive Watch

The environment friendly watch

Advantages: Solar driven watch, no battery required.
Disadvantages: None that I know of.

...My last watch has been with me for more than 10 years. It has been reliable until the past couple of years. It started mis-behaving, require constant battery changes, (a sure sign that the watch is dying), and frequently stopping whenever I fly. So last Christmas, I decided to buy myself an eco-driven citizen watch. An eco-drive watch uses light energy to run itself. The light source can be sun (solar) or an incandescent lamp (such as in an office environment). The watch uses a solar panel, in this case, its the face dial, to convert light into electrical energy which is stored in a special energy cell. This allows the watch to last a long time without seeing any light, suitable for those of us who hibernate (Ha!); for those of us with very long winters and constantly wearing long sleeve clothes or just forgetting to charge it up...

Review of Citizen Eco-Drive Watch

Charming little watch

Advantages: charges constantly when its in the light
Disadvantages: i work at night and usually dont see the light

...My 'friend' decided i needed a special present this year for christmas and bought me the Citizen Ecodrive Charm bracelet watch. It's one which has been advertised quite alot in womens magazines, and it is very pretty and a bit different. The bracelet is a basic silver coloured bracelet, attatched are five small handbag charms, one is plain silver colour, the other four have stones in different design 'handbags', the colours are pink, blue, yellow and clear. The watch itself is a slightly larger handbag shapewith clear 'diamonds' around the face and a blue pearly looking face. Its pretty and sparkles nicely which keeps him as amused as it does me, but then again hes amused by some very simple things - british money for one. The second of these watches that I own is also the silver coloured version but this time has shell shaped charms...

Review of Citizen Eco-Drive Watch

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...
