Advantages: Gorgeous flavours and colours.
Disadvantages: Most of them go on clear.

...Lancome Juicy Tubes cost around £11.50 which you may think is expensive for a lip gloss, but it is actually pretty cheap considering the amount of gloss that you get in a tube - you get 15ml. The packaging is a clear plastic squeezable tube. When you twist off the lid, you will find a slanted plastic applicator, with a small hole in the centre. To apply the gloss, you squeeze the tube gently so that the product comes out through the hole. You can then apply the gloss to the lips straight from the tube (the slanted applicator makes this easy), or you can apply the gloss to a lipbrush and apply to your lips from that if you prefer. Personally, I find applying the gloss straight from the tube to the lips to be the easiest. The packaging is hygienic, as the tube doesn't have a wand that you have to dip in and out like some glosses have... Read review

Advantages: quick and easy, fun.
Disadvantages: can be delays, weird station names, can get crowded.

...The Tube is the commonly known name for the London Underground. It is a system of mostly underground trains that run through the city. It goes out as far as Heathrow Airport on the west Side and as far as Upminster on the east side. There are 17 different lines on the Tube map and they each have their own colour so you can easily identify each line and where you want to go. Bakerloo=Brown Central=Red Circle=Yellow District=Green East London=Orange Hammersmith & City=Pink Jubilee=Silver Metropolitan=Purple Northern=Black Piccadilly=Indigo Victoria=Blue Waterloo & City=Turquoise Docklands Light Railway (D.L.R)=Green (different colour to District) and White National Rail=White Many underground stations have several different lines crossing through them. It is also divided into 6 Zones-Central London is Zone 1... Read review

Advantages: Ways to find it cheaper, good brand, lots of colours to choose from, raved about by everybody
Disadvantages: Expensive even when bought from cheaper places, sticky, comes off easily

...Since the day Juicy Tubes were launched Ive lusted after them. Even me, whos been known to spend 35 quid on some face gel with little bits of gold leaf suspended in it, couldnt bring myself to fork out £12 quid for a 15ml tube. Everybody raves about Juicy Tubes, saying theyre the best lipgloss around. Theyre one of the best selling lipglosses ever and this is reflected by the fact that its one of the few products that Lancome havent discontinued, they always discontinue products after a certain amount of time and its sooo frustrating when youve found something you love! So anyway, browsing through eBay I came across a seller who had somehow managed to get hold of some Juicy Tubed stock and was selling them at around £8.50 for a single tube and £18 for a box of three. Of course, I went for three, I got three brand new unopened Juicy... Read review

Advantages: Environmentally-friendly way to get around. Cheap, avoid the traffic. Free Metro newspaper.
Disadvantages: Crowded!

...This review is old and bad...I'd read other (better) reviews if I were you.. Ways of getting in to and around London~~ Whenever I go to London I always go by tube, when I go in with my friends and when I go in with my parents. To me it's the only way to go, I hope this opinion explains why clearly. Going into London by car is not nice, the driver gets stressed with all the traffic and stressed with trying to find a car parking space. And when you do find a space you will be most likely horrified at how much it will cost for a few hours car parking. Did you know a London car-parking meter earns more per hour than someone serving at McDonalds? Yup its true, thanks go to the Daily Mail for that interesting fact! And even if you do go to London by car you will still most likely end up using the tube to get around once your... Read review

Advantages: Good if you've missed something
Disadvantages: Only so much on there you'll care for

...A lot of products when I review them I comment on how you might or might not have heard of them, because generally there's going to be quite a few people who have. When it comes to YouTube though this is a completely different situation, because ever since being founded in February 2005 the site has exploded into one of the few websites on the net with a cult status. If you use the net just for Ciao then it could be understandable that you've never came across this video networking site, although those who use the internet as a staple of their lives and a means to communicate between friends will surely have visited, or at least heard of, YouTube. My parents are internet virgins, they couldn't work a computer to save their lives, but I'm pretty sure they've heard of YouTube because of the coverage its had - they may have even laughed...

Advantages: strong, colourful (although not much good for the rats as they only see in B&W!!), good variety
Disadvantages: You need to get plastic connecting chains in order to prevent rusting.

...We have two rats and one hamster. We have bought a variety of large ferretrail tubes since we have had our pets. Our rats live in a two storey large cage and the tubes are very useful for creating a different and exciting new home every week after clean out time. The tubes can be linked together or left separately. There are a wide variety of tubes – plain straight, t-junction, curved corner. They are attached to the cage by metal or plastic chains and clips and can be attached at any angle. They come apart easily for cleaning. If you can get the plastic connector chains I would highly recommend it as the metal ones do tend to go rusty after a while (and after they’ve been wee’d on by ratties!). We use a curved tube for our hamster as he likes to sleep in it. He has the smaller version tubing for playing in his cage... Read review

Advantages: Virtually indestructable
Disadvantages: Price, slightly heavier than average

...As anybody who's ever managed to get a puncture along the length of the seam on their inner tubes will tell you, riding with just a puncture repair kit is not a good idea. Realistically, you need to take a spare tube for the punctures that just cannot be patched owing to size/ham fistedness on your part. Also, if you're going to be whipping the tube out and putting it back in again, you may as well just get rid of the middle bit where you mess around with patches anyway. With this in mind, I always carry a spare tube. The Panaracer tube is a fairly hefty beast. Your average butyl rubber tube is fairly flimsy, but this one could probably be used as a lasso for capturing deer or other wild animals that happen to be around if you get stranded! Quite frankly, I've never seen such a thick wall on a tube. Weight junkies will turn... Read review

Advantages: Fast, Fairly Easy to Get Around
Disadvantages: Expensive, Could be Crowded, Unreliable

...First of all, let me start off by saying that I do not use the tube regularly. I only use it once in awhile when I have to go to London. My first impression of the tube was the really low ceiling which made me feel a little claustrophobic and the very high prices. A single is 3 pounds and a day ticket I think was 4.90, which of course makes it better to get a day ticket if you know you will travel more than once. I normally get on the tube at Paddington and another shocking thing for me was the escalators, which are very steep and long and give you a bit of a creepy feeling but I guess everyone gets used to it with time. In addition to that, it is normal to hear many different languages down there and depending on how paranoid about terrorist attacks this could scare you. After the first time I used it, I gained confidence. I saw... Read review

Advantages: stressfree, quick, easy to use
Disadvantages: may be separated if bus is full up

...We went to London on Saturday to see The Sound Of Music at the London Palladium. As accommodation is expensive in London, we decided to stay at our usual Premier Travel Inn at Didcot and drive in. However, somebody recommended the Oxford Tube, so we decided to give ourselves a stress free trip and not have to worry about parking and booked the Oxford Tube instead. What is the Oxford Tube? Well, The Oxford Tube is a bus service that at peak times runs every 15 minutes between Oxford and London. We were very happy with the Tube and will definitely be using it again. There are a number of stops in Oxford where you can get on and off, namely: Speedwell Street, St Aldgates, Gloucester Green, High Street, St Clements, Oxford Brookes University, Headington, Gladstone Road, Green Road and Sandhills. We got on at Thornhills Park... Read review

Advantages: Colours, range
Disadvantages: Expensive, not a lot in a tube considering! A bit sticky.

...When the craze first hit a couple of years ago Lancome Juicy Tubes Lip Gloss were one of the first to be introduced to the market. Therefore it stands that they are very reputable for this specific product, amongst all the imitations of which may now be better or worse. What is it? ************ Ultimately each juicy tube consists of the gloss with possible extras such as glitter etc, all in a handy little squeezable tube. They can come inn a variety of looks such as ultra glossy, neutral shades or even a plumping range. The gloss is of a thick consistancy, and is quite sticky. However it does tend to last (providing of course you don't lick them too much!!) For some this may not be ideal, however it does not really bother me too much. Prices ******* Juicy tubes can be bought separately or in a little gift pack (which is how... Read review
