BT Home Hub V1.5

Advantages: Free, good customer suport.
Disadvantages: Expensive to buy outright, occasional firmware issues

...We had the the BT Home Hub (Version 1.5) since early 2008 - following problems with the previous version we had since switching to wireless broadband with BT. We received both versions of the home hub free with the bt total broadband package. The version 1.5 Hub looks very neat and stylish and runs smoothly, however occasionally the hub will need a reboot. This is a simple operation performed by pressing a dedicated reset button located on the right hand sdie of the hub. Previous versions required the user to have to annoyingly unplug the hub and and then wait 30 seconds before re-powering it up. The hub usually retains the wireless settings configured by the user, although several times the firmware updates (automatically downloaded from BT) have caused a factory reset to the default installation configuration. This is mildly...

Titleist Pro V1X

Advantages: Great name in golf balls
Disadvantages: Not really for high handicappers

...I'm not really into the science of golf balls, all I know is that there are good balls and not so good balls. I wouldn't play with golf balls that cost 20p per ball such as Donnay because they don't feel nice to hit and yes on the golf course you just don't use Donnay to play low rounds and in tourneys. I tried a titleist Pro V1X today in a Stableford tourney off white tees so I had a little extra yardage to play, I mostly use Titleist PTS Solo because they are designed for mid to high handicappers, and I can hit them, so they work for me. Titleist have brought out this new breed of ball, and as i said I don't know the science so i'm not going to say there is this and there is that, etc. All i know is that these balls are designed to cut out spin, have a lower flight and create more distance, however, I never saw any of that. To me...

Organic and Vegan Happy Meals - at V1 Nottingham!

Advantages: Vegan, Organic, gluten free - something for all needs here. Good quality too!
Disadvantages: Only one is in Nottingham. More expensive than Mcdonalds

...From the window of V1 you can look across at McDonalds and think, while you are eating your organic ‘happier’ meal that you might be eating something that actually hasn’t trampled the environment. In fact there’s a chance that you’re actually eating something healthy and having fast food!. Additionally your meal tastes great and was made by individually to order and doesn’t contain lots of gruesomely farmed titbits. V1 is a fast food outlet in Hounds Gate, Nottingham next door to Deli France and opposite Subway – oh and of course McDonalds! It caters for Vegetarians and Vegans. As a result a kind of conscientious approach to the menus ripples through their offerings. V1 isn’t just for Veggies and vegans. The great thing about V1 is that you can also go there if you have to be careful what you eat. They have a handy folder available...

Review of V1 (Nottingham)

Pro V1x performance is second to none

Advantages: Great distance and feel
Disadvantages: Price

...you can find them for less. This is downfall of the Pro V1 but the performance levels are significanly better than onther ball, appart from the Bridgestome B330's (as they are exactly the same ball just with a differnt name) My advice would be, If you have the money to spare go for these balls as the all over perfomance is outstanding....

Titleist Pro V1 - the best ball yet

Advantages: great feel and distance
Disadvantages: cost

...I have been playing golf for 15 years and always play with a Titleist ball. It's something of a habit, but the ball suits my game. In cold wet conditions I'll play with the pts wound ball, and in dry summer conditions the professional balata. That was until I tried the newest product from Titleist, the pro V1. It is the tour professionals choice of ball combining both distance and feel.It is longer off the tee than the balata ball but gets enormous spin around the green. I'm not sure how Titleist have done it, but I was amazed at the extra length I got off the tee and the control and spin I got around the green. Putting with it is a dream, the ball doesn't fly off the putter like the wound ball. At the moment the cost of the ball will put off all but the most accomplished golfer, at £35 a dozen you don't really want to 'lose' a ball...

Review of Titleist Pro V1x

It cant get better than this...PRO V1

Advantages: Very Long (excellent distance), Very soft, Good spin control, Durable, Easy to find!!
Disadvantages: Wouldn`t recommend it for fast and soft greens!!

...Golfers from all over the world have now the priviledge of playing with the new improved Titleist Pro V1. This is the number 1 golf ball in the PGA tour, and the fact that Tiger does not play with it, doesn`t mean is not good!! As a matter of fact 8 out of the top 10 players last year on the PGA tour played with this ball and most of them will not switch to another ball even if the offer them a juicy contract...why?..simply becuase they know that this is THE BEST GOLF THERE IS. This New Improved Pro V1 , now comes with more distance, more spin control (doesn`t spin back as much as the first Pro v1), higher durability (this is impressive you can play 18, 36, 45 holes with the same ball and if you are a decent player the ball might even continue being "useable") and with all the new technology available. I am scratch player and I play...

Home Alone

Advantages: Comdey none stop
Disadvantages: None

...Home Alone, was a classic hit comedy film that was first released in 1991. Even in my adulthood, I am more than happy to watch the film again, and when I was a kid I use to remember watching this film a hundred times during the Christmas holidays and summer holidays. It was such a feel good family fun film; it was the sort of film that even if you?ve watched it once you would never gets bored watching it over and over again. Plot: The film opens with the entire McCallister family packing for their Christmas vacation to France. The family is exceptionally big, some 30 plus including adults. Kevin McCallister the youngest in the family needs help packing his luggage, the older kids simply don?t have the time or the patience to help him, he feels left out and unwanted, just like most teenagers. A patrol police man Harry played by Joe...

  Bargains For Your Home

Advantages: Can save you money on your normal shop
Disadvantages: You pick things up you wouldn't normally. Items change regularly.

...stocked right up for. You could buy reasonably priced eggs and gifts. Homestyle I often shoot down this aisle but very rarely buy things as I am so picky over my home and what goes in it but that's just me. I have picked up a couple of things from here though - a bed canopy for my daughters room is the main one that I can think of. It matched her Next Butterflies bedroom perfectly and was a fraction of the cost of the one in the directory. In this section you will find ornaments, frames, canvas pictures (very nice for young people just setting up home together and so much cheaper than other shops), bedding (recently saw Bob The Builder in here), and kitchen equipment to name a few. Thinking about it, I did actually get my son a Spiderman Lunchbox and bottle last week for £1.99!! Then went off to Tesco and paid £12.50 for my...

Review of Home Bargains (Shop)

Sony Cyber-shot: DSC-V1 is an excellent camera

Advantages: Excellent pixel rate, memory sticks cheaper than before
Disadvantages: UPDATE YEAR LATER : BATTERY DEAD!!! SEE BOTTOM OF REVIEW

...for photo, there is a movie mode. The only problem is that it takes up a lot of memory, so use it wisely. The video is 640x485 but apparently it is 25 frames. Why get an expensive digital video camera when you can have this! As with most digital cameras, you can print off you pictures at home. If you do want to do this, I recommend that you have a VERY good quality printer or a laser printer (colour pref.). Just remember that your pictures are likely to take up a lot of ink and ink cartridges can cost a lot of money, especially colour. With my Lexmark computer, it costs 30 pounds for one colour cartridge and 24 pounds for a black. To avoid this problem, I go to Boots where I can get loads of deals, for example last time I went I got 50 pictures for 5 pounds (at 6x9 size) which is excellent value. This camera is easy to use. You can select...

Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-V1

Back Home

Advantages: Westlife, great songs and voices
Disadvantages: A few week links and very ballard orientated

...This is another great album from the 4 Irish men. It is titled Back Home. There are 12 tracks on this CD:- 1 - Home - This is a beautiful ballard from the group which you will have probably have heard on the radio or advertised on the TV when the adverts for this album appears. It has a lovely tune and is very easy listening. 2 - Us against the world - This is another ballard but has a different edge to it from their usual ballards. The tune is very catchy and the song has great words. More upbeat than some of the songhs on the album. There is a very catchy chorus which is very easy to pick up so you will soon be singing along! 3 - Something right - This song has a lovely tune which makes easy listening. The words are very nice but this is not one of my favourite songs. There is a very upbeat feel to this song which does make...
