When Rushed Beat Becomes Rival Turd

Advantages: Decent graphics and music, simultaneous 2 player action
Disadvantages: Dubious collision detection and parameters, animation can be poor

...Not only are the likes of the opening sequence and the difficulty settings of Rushing Beat (the Japanese version of the game) missing in Rival Turf!, but I believe there to be insignificant tweaks to the fighting system as well. There are two playable characters to choose from, though there seems to be this glitch with Oozie Nelson where he is able to power-bomb an enemy successively without extending the damage dealt, but this is a minor issue. A feature of Rival Turf! is the Angry Mode, whereby following much damage taken, the player temporarily becomes invincible and is able to deal out heavy damage. Might as well turn it on as there's really not much scope when it comes to the fighting. There's no priority move - not even the special attack which comes at the cost of the player score. You would do well not to resort to running...

Surf and Turf in the Yorkshire Dales

Advantages: Good accomodation, really good food.
Disadvantages: A couple - see the review

...fish including a life sized replica (at least I think) of a fish that the owner caught when 14 in Florida. Outside of this are another couple of modern nooks and a ?whisky lounge? with leather seating and a fire place presumably lit in winter. Here you can find a selection of newspapers and books including a beer guide amongst others. A nice terrace outside has a number of tables with a bizarre mix of lobster pots and pot cows and sheep - a nice place to sit outside on a sunny day. Truly surf and turf in the Yorkshire Dales. On returning to the room we noticed it smelled a bit "foody" and noticed this again each time we returned. The location of this room did seem to be at the backend of the inn where the kitchens where. Having said that after a couple of minutes we didn?t notice it so not a real problem to us and we settled down to...

Review of The Wensleydale Heifer, North Yorkshire

Stylish and super fast

Advantages: stylish design, increase speed and acceleration, fit according to foot shape
Disadvantages: may leave blisters during the first few times wearing

...This pair of boots is amazing, can't wait to have one of them. The thing I love best about Nike is that they always come out with very stylish design for socer boots and I just feel really good wearing them on the pitch. With the familiar design of the famous Mercurial generation, this new Mercurial Veloci promises to offer great support, flexibility and speed. The specially designed bottom produces great friction with the turf, that helps to increase acceleration and balance. I can now do complex tricks, turn and run with complete confidence. Made from synthetic materal, the boots will fit your foot shape in no time. Just wear it in one or two days, and you may think that the boots are custom made only for your foot. However, it may leave some blisters during the first few times wearing it. Available in may other colours...

Delightful Pub Hidden in the Heart of Oxford

Advantages: Delightful, charming, historic and good beer
Disadvantages: small and hard to find

...Many years ago (late 70s,early 80s) I lived and worked in Oxford and frequented a charming little pub called the Turf Tavern. In fact for several months I actually lived in rooms that the pub used to let (I don't know if they still let rooms). I had fond memories of this ancient and charming pub and so recently upon visiting Oxford with the family I took the opportunity to revisit to see if it was as I remembered. To my delight it has not changed very much. They seem to have reworked the interior at the rear a bit so there seems to be a little more room but there is still not a lot of room inside. The Turf Tavern is very well hidden but not a secret to anybody who knows Oxford. You can impress your companions with your knowledge of Oxford if you can find the Turf Tavern. If you are in the area of Radcliffe square or Broad Street...

Review of Turf Tavern (Oxford)

'Some people are on the pitch...'

Advantages: Excellent performance, very comfortable
Disadvantages: You're slightly paying for that quality

......they're called 'the players' Kenneth, you big eejit. Having managed over my 36 years to construct a body so biased towards the right side as to make J Edgar Hoover proud, the gradual emergence of a large hole in my football boots strategically placed directly over my starboard big toe was something that needed addressing. Some might suggest that some warm milky tea and retirement were the appropriate course of action, but as fully paid-up member of the Rage Against The Dying Of The Light Brigade, I opted for the 'replacement' option. And so it came to pass that my not-that-dainty-Size-Tens were easing their way into a pair of Adidas Team Mundial Astro Turf G. Classics. The selection had not been arbitrary. Online searches of football forums had revealed the odd supporter capable of coherent written English, and once they...

Review of Adidas Team Mundial Astro Turf G. Classic

Where Bill Clinton did not inhale...

Advantages: Friendly atmosphere
Disadvantages: Slightly dinghy

...The Turf Tavern is a delightful pub in the in the centre of Oxford. It here that Bill famously did not inhale. Location The pub is located down an alleyway, which joins Holywell Street and New College Lane. 18th century cottages and the Old City Wall, 13th century, surround it. On the other side of the city wall is New College and across Holywell Street is Wadham College. It is ideally situated for anyone who has just visited the colleges in the centre and landmarks such as the Radcliffe Camera. Surroundings The layout of the Turf is rather archaic and I think this adds to its character. The ceilings inside are quite low. There are two medium size rooms inside. Outside they have two beer patios with about 6 trestle tables each. In the winter there are heaters outside so it is possible to remain outside when the pub is...

Review of Turf Tavern (Oxford)

Obscure But Excellent

Advantages: Lovely Historic Pub
Disadvantages: None Known

...I first met the Turf in 1992 during a summer holiday when I went on a 'Blue Badge' walking tour of Oxford. Unfortunately we did not have time to stop for a pint. However, I did learn that this strangely located pub was once Jude the Obscure's haunt (good for practising Latin and meeting up with ex-wives and so on) and that it was originally a cider house. As the other great discovery of this holiday was cider (I'm from the US by birth and this was my first trip to the UK), it was essential that I come back later. But how to find it? Here's a chance to impress your friends and relatives if they've not been to Oxford before. The Turf is located in Bath Place and from the west you go through a narrow alleyway (it's called St. Helen's Passage but you'll need a fairly detailed A-Z to find that out) which you'll find almost underneath...

Review of Turf Tavern (Oxford)

Brilliant Work

Advantages: Beutifully completed, reasonably priced, friendly staff
Disadvantages: only that they made my laugh to much!

...The review stating the immorality of the mens work is utterly shameful. The work that this team did on my garden was more than fantastic and at an excellent price that was affordable and reasonalble, therefore have recommended them to many other people who are more than happy to take the team on board. They were very proffesional and on time and were a friendly bunch to have around. There was no hassle and the work was completed successfully. I thank them for transforming my garden into a place i fell comfortable in which has stayed so. The water feature in the middle of the garden is fabulous and the stonework is beautiful. I sincerely thank you again Lincolnshire Turf Farms for your hard work....
