Twins

Advantages: good entertaining movie
Disadvantages: none really...???

...Director and Producer: Ivan Reitman Writers: William Davies, Timothy Harris, William Osborne and Herschel Weingrod Stars: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Danny DeVito, Kelly Preston, Chloe Webb, Bonnie Bartlet and Tony Jay. Released in late 1988 this great comedy involved the very questionable twins, Julius and Vincent Benedict, who were separated at birth then reunited years later. Apparently, only there mother can tell them apart??? **BRIEF PLOT** With Julius Benedict, (played by the rather large Arnold Schwarzenegger) being brought up on a picturesque island miles from normal life, he has grown into a calm and tranquil type of person. His life soon turns upside down when he is told that he has a twin brother called Vincent, (played by Danny DeVito), who is living somewhere in L.A. so with this information Julius sets out to...

Review of Twins (DVD)

Twin Peaks

Advantages: The most original, mind-blowing TV series of all time
Disadvantages: None

...A decade and a half having now passed since I first saw David Lynch's masterpiece Twin Peaks, I've decided at last to put pen to paper (in a virtual sense) and write something about this truly exceptional and extraordinary series. "Exceptional" and "Extraordinary" are words that are perhaps overused these days in the English language; however, I remain, fifteen years later, utterly convinced that Twin Peaks deserved to be draped with such superlatives, and more. In a nutshell, this is in my experience the greatest TV drama series ever made. It is also so much more than a drama series, combining elements of the supernatural, of surreal and unfathomable events inextricably linked but in a way that defies explanation. Before delving into the intricacies of this one-off work of genius, let me provide an introduction to the background...

Dimplex convection heater with turbo fan

Advantages: Turbo Fan, secure wall mounting, switchable turbo fan
Disadvantages: Mechanical thermostat with turbo fan can be attention grabbing!

...One of the many heaters I tried was this Dimplex free standing/wall mounted convection heater with Fan Boost. I decided to try this after a returning my 4th failed Bionaire BCV3100 heater. The wall mounting arrangement was very affective in securely locking the heater to the wall using 3 simple hooks. The unit is very light weight. There are 2 switches on the side. A power On/Off switch and below that a Hi/Low switch. Below the switches there is a mechanical thermostat to further regulate the heater. On the front of the heater integrated into the turbo fan grill there is a switch to turn the turbo fan on or off. A nice feature is on a hot day you can run the turbo fan without any heat, this provides a cool draft from the heater although it is not as affective as a desktop fan though. The turbo fan can be switched off only if...

Pace Twin

Advantages: BItstream Record, Easy to use, moves TV schedules around, easy to fit bigger HDD
Disadvantages: Small Hard Disk as standard, Slightly dodgy software

...The Pace Twin was the first PVR on the UK market without a subscription. Reviewed with October 2004 software. It is a Freeview digital terrestrial box with two tuners and a 20GB hard disk. You can watch TV as normal with it, you can also record TV or Freeview radio, you can watch another channel while recording, or a previous recording, or even the recording you are currently recording. Due to this you can watch a commercial TV programme while it is recording and catch up by skipping the adverts. Or you can wact a whole evenings programmes on a half hour delay. There is a live TV pause which is great for watching BBCi (701 or 702) programmes - disabling the MHEG layer and the press red. The box is very well featured, and has plenty of connections. It supports digital text - it is not quite as fast as the Pace DTVA but...

My twins story

Advantages: Double the fun and great play mates
Disadvantages: Double the work

....In 1995 I lost a baby girl called Lauren she was still born which was a terrible time for me and think about her every day, but in the year 2000 I found out I was pregnant again, in the very early days of pregnancy I was very sick unlike my other pregnancies both of which where girls so I thought maybe I was having a boy. I remember one day myself and my ex-husband as he is now were out shopping and we saw a dad pushing his twins round the shop, I turned to my husband jokingly and said " wouldn't it be funny if it were twins" famous last words. I did actually go and see my doctor because there wasn't a day go by that I didn't feel sick, his reply was well maybe you are having twins as it is more common to have sickness with multiple births, I just shrugged it off and just put it down to plain old morning sickness. Mind twins...

Victorialand - Cocteau Twins

Advantages: gentle, breathatakingly beautiful
Disadvantages: it's a bit short

...You should know what to expect when the first song is six and half minutes of beauty called "Lazy Calm". Arguably the most appropriately titled song ever, "Lazy Calm" begins with gentle washes of synth and guitar before being joined by a hazy distant saxophone. This goes on for a few minutes before a melody appears, underpinned by some reluctant beats as Elizabeth Fraser sings in that otherworldly voice of hers. For possibly the first time on a Cocteau Twins album it sounds like the words are in English, but you are still hard pressed to discern their meaning. But that doesn't matter. "Lazy Calm" conjures up images of wide open fields, warm summer days, laying in the long grass under vast blue skies, listening to the birds and insects going about their day. It is both intensely calming and gently uplifting all at the same time and is...

Review of Victorialand - Cocteau Twins

Flymo Turbo 330. I bought this and I KNEW what I was buying!

Advantages: Compact, light, easy to store, grass box, quiet.
Disadvantages: None I have found

...at the description. Please excuse the brash tone, this is directed at those who complain about features they knew about before buying. It's a turbo compact hover mower, compact means it may well be smaller than the one you used to own so expect that. A 33cm metal blade to me indicates a 33cm wide cut. If I thought 33cm was too small, I'd opt for a larger model. A 30 litre grass box should be ample for a small to medium garden. My garden is quite large but the mower is a perfect compromise when it comes to the amount of grass it holds, too much it gets too heavy so 30 litre is a good size and even better for storing. 1500 watts power is enough power to get through slightly long grass. If your grass is too long, don't blame the mower if it can't cope, blame yourself. 12 metre cable, if your garden is longer, get an extension or a mower...

They weren't Twins & No-one was called Thompson

Advantages: Some great singles
Disadvantages: Some of the lyrics are a tad downbeat

...Looking on Ciao I was rather surprised to find no-one had done a review of these amazing 80's artists so as an 80's child and a very big fan indeed I felt it was my duty to write a review so here it comes. Formed originally in 1977 with a massive 11 members the Thompson Twins (who of course took their name from the bumbling detectives out of artist Herge's Tintin comics) released 3 albums before really breaking big in both the UK & the USA. Into The Gap was their 4th release but the 1st with the "classic" 3 person line-up of Tom Bailey, Alannah Currie and Joe Leeway. Bailey wrote words and music, Leeway provided percussion (and some backing vocals) and Currie played xylophone and provided backing vocals. On this album all 3 members of the band are given writing credits but Bailey wrote pretty much everything on his own. So whats...

Review of Into The Gap - Thompson Twins

Flymo Turbo Compact 330 Vision

Advantages: powerful, efficient, easy to manouvre
Disadvantages: needs all the spacers to cut the grass low enough

...I bought this to replace my old Flymo 300 plus which after 7 years had finally collapsed, largely due to my mowing over a tree branch which broke the impeller. I decided to go for a bigger mower and am very pleased with the Turbo Compact 330 Vision which is Flymo's replacement for the old TC 330 Compact. It floats across the lawn beautifully and picks up a lot more grass than my old one. It doesn't pick up as much as a rotary but if your lawn is average sized or an odd shape a rotary isn't really suited anyway and I can't say that the bits it does leave are either noticeable or a problem. If anything it's too good at hovering and needs all 3 spacers fitting between the blade and impeller to get the lawn as close cropped as I like but having said that it doesn't need to be any closer so is not actually a problem if you're not comparing...

RS TURBO SHED!!!

Advantages: Quick Quick and Quicker
Disadvantages: Noisy noisy and Noisier still!!!

...When I was younger I always wanted to own a Ford Escort RS Turbo. When I was 25 I finally realised my dream and bought a clapped out G reg Black RS Turbo. What a shed and to think I sold my K Reg Fiesta RS 1800I to get it!!!It was quick but noisy, unreliable kept breaking down, etc. I bought a K & N air filter for it and it was exactly the same but noisier!!! No more performance!!!I sold it to some mug in the end for 3 grand which cheered me up no end. I now have a Nissan Primera which is comfy and large. Its a bit slow though!!!...
