A Roar-ing Success!

Advantages: Good price, easy to build, easy to store, fun
Disadvantages: Turning handlebars

...group of around 3-6 years, which is the target age group of this particular product. It is made by Vivid Imaginations which produce a lot of these character themed toys, and the ones Harry already have seem to be of very good quality so I was fairly hopeful that this would be good. It comes in a flat-pack box with a large colourful picture of the assembled scooter on it, and its a perfect size to fit into the boot of your car. I was a bit worried about putting it together by myself, but it proved to be very easy indeed. The pieces are all wrapped up separately and the instructions make it easy to identify which piece belongs where. They are nice and clear to follow which is good, and lets you assemble bit by bit i.e. handle, attach to handle then back wheels. You don't need to be strong to do it, the tools needed are provided (a spanner...

Review of Vivid Imaginations Roary the Racing Car Scooter

Worst. Present. Ever.

Advantages: Double-sided sticky tape. Green screens.
Disadvantages: Everything else. I feel like crying.

...Vivid Imaginations (or is it RipRoarMedia? Or is it Creation Entertainment as I've seen it on some websites?) Creation Station promises to bring movie-quality special effects to the average home user at a price that is hard to ignore - recommended retail is £99.99 but some online suppliers were offering it for £49.99. Across the web on some online retailers' websites, there is a small video that showed how easy it is to do - simply attach the included green screen cloth to a wall, film yourself pretending to surf in front of it and then using the supplied software, apply a marvellous backdrop to create an effect that would make Peter Jackson weep. The bottom line is, it does none of this. This reviewer would go as far to say the advertising being bandied around has, allegedly, nothing to do with the actual product being sold. Where...

Review of Vivid-Imaginations Creation Station

from the horse's mouth

Advantages: Some tracks of a newer style for Nickelback
Disadvantages: one or two weaker tracks (but what album doesn't?!)

...Dark Horse is the 2008 album release from Canadian rock band Nickelback. It is their 6th album, the other 5 being: Curb (1996) The State (1998) Silver Side Up (2001) The Long Road (2003) All the Right Reasons (2005) Now, Nickelback tends to be one of those groups people know they've heard of, but can't think of many, if any of their songs. Nickelback's best know tracks, at least in England are How you Remind Me (released in 2001 from their Silver Side Up album), Photograph and Rock Star (released 2005 and 2006 respectively, both from their All the Right Reasons album). A very very quick history of the band as this is a review of the album, not the band. Nickelback is composed of four men, two of whom are brothers. There is Chad Kroeger ? lead vocals, rhythm guitar Ryan Peake ? lead guitar, backing vocals Mike Kroeger ? bass guitas...

Review of Dark Horse - Nickelback

Only fools and horses

Advantages: great fun and lots of laughter
Disadvantages: not enough episodes

...Only fools and horses began its life in 1981, penned by John Sullivan, who also wrote Citizen Smith. The seven series, (and 19 Christmas specials) lasted through till 2003 and revolved around two main characters, Derek (Del)Trotter, (played by David Jason) and his younger brother Rodney, (played by Nicholas Lyndhurst), they lived at 23 Nelson Mandela house, a block of high rise flats in Peckham and drove a bright yellow three wheeled van with 'Trotters Independent Traders' painted on it. Derek, or Del boy as everyone knew him, was a trader of sorts, ducking and diving through life, buying and selling anything he and his brother Rodney could get there hands on. Rodney, however, was the more law abiding of the two, always being dragged into Dels tricks. Other Characters Grandad...

Review of Complete Only Fools And Horses (Box Set) (DVD)

The "Dark Horse" Of Music

Advantages: Highly varied. Something for everyone
Disadvantages: Ballads off-putting

..."Dark Horse" is the sixth album from the alternative rock band from Canda, Nickelback. This 2008 relase, came after the great success which they accomplished from the initial, and re-reease of "All the Right Reasons", which came out in 2005. Despite having numerous hits over the years, "Rockstar" amy have hindered the group as the big tune quickly got annoying to many listeners, and so with this album, they attempt to re-create the success which they had prior when that track came out. 1. "Something In Your Mouth" Although I haven't heard it on the radio (due to the fact I would never go onto a station which would play them), this was the mildly successful second single by the band, and it has them go for a Hard Rock track, where their lyrical content is largely adult-themed. I really enjoyed it, and I expect that had it received...

Review of Dark Horse - Nickelback

Bear necessity?

Advantages: Small, fun, simple toy
Disadvantages: It makes a noise - all parents will understand why this is not good

..., says something a bit like "mama" and "I love you" and then snores to sleep. He will then cry after 2 to 3 hours to be fed again, or happily be fed in between times and his nose flashes. It is not very complicated really - he turns himself in the dark, and a little speaker in his back makes the noises which are loud enough to be hear but not too annoying. The bottle is a little tricky to insert into the bear's mouth and has to be pressed for five seconds, which younger children might need help with at first. Do they like them? For my 3 year old it was instant love. She already has quite a menagerie but the bear was adopted at once and she was soon cuddling him and feeding him and saying "he's hungry, I think he likes me" and playing with him quite imaginatively, considering he is a solid bodied slightly furry and there...

Review of Vivid Imaginations Love 2 Love Bears : Peach

From the Horse's Mouth

Advantages: Very funny
Disadvantages: swearing and violence

...Charlie Owen is a new writer on the block, producing books packed full of incident, entertainment and fun. Drawing on thirty years experience as a front line copper in various forces around the country, before retiring as an Inspector in the Metropolitan Police, his stories are full of detail and insider knowledge and are as comfortable and enjoyable as a book can be. This book is set in and around a police station in one of the roughest, most unpleasant neighbourhoods imaginable. The fictional area is called Handstead, an outlying suburb of Manchester, and the station?s call sign is Hotel Alpha (HA). Given the areas reputation as a sinkhole for troublemakers and delinquent cops it has become colloquially known as Horse?s Arse ? hence the title of the book. The story concerns the activities of D Relief, a collection...

Review of Horse's Arse - Charlie Owen

Imagine

Advantages: Great lyrics, superb song. Classic that time will not forget
Disadvantages: None

...I honestly believe that Imagine by John Lennon is one of the best and most important songs ever written and performed, I'm sure many of you will agree with me about that. I'll tell you why: The song is emotional, and more importantly truthful. Although, perhaps it has shows of sadness I believe that the song is very encouraging because it makes you think. "Imagine there's no heaven, Its easy if you try, No hell below us Above us only sky, Imagine all the people, Living or today, Imagine there?re no countries, It isn't hard to do, Nothing to kill or die for, And no religion too, Imagine all the people, Living life in peace, You may say I'm a dreamer, But I'm not the only one, I hope some day you'll join us, And the world will be as one, Imagine no...

Review of Imagine - John Lennon

Hungry Horse Menu.

Advantages: Yummy wide variety of food.
Disadvantages: None, apart from food sometimes comes in smaller portions than usual.

...Me and my family (me, my mum, and two brothers) are regulars at our local Hungry Horse. We find it an enjoyable day out, and the boys can go play in the play area. The food does not let us down either, and each time we are thoroughly pleased with our meals. I try to vary what I have but I usually opt for the same things- a starter of onion rings or garlic breaded mushrooms, a main course of the cheeseburger with chips and beans, and a dessert of either Sticky Toffee Pudding or if i'm still mega-hungry the "Ultimate Candy Mania". Now we have been coming here at least twice a month for the past five or six years, so I guess I have become a bit of an expert on the menu and on the wide variety of food that it provides. Hungry Horse really does cater for everybody in the food area, from young 'uns to the oldies who prefer a more...

Review of Hungry Horse

Horsing around

Advantages: Good play value
Disadvantages: None

...on this horse. There is a white jump so the horses can practice jumping them and. Some other fencing too. There is a red cart for the cart horse to pull. (The others can pull it too.) There is a person with a hat on ready to ride a horse and someone who can sit and drive the horse cart. There are some green basic duplo Lego bricks and a brown brick, the brown brick has a picture of apples on it I guess it's really a box containing apples for the horses. A water trough for the horses to drink from too. The prize cup for the winning horse is silver colored. Then there is the farm cat too a duple cat to watch the actions. There are enough bricks here to make a good home stable for the horses your child practicing their fine and gross motor controls. There are plenty of items to help develop your child's imagination. Feed the horses, ride...
