A nice glass of cool clean tap water.

Advantages: Cool and refreshing
Disadvantages: No real taste

...Tap water, well where to start? I have read a few ops on this subject and have established that this is going to be quite a hard op to write, but I thought that I would have a go anyway. The look is clear, normally, and it has no real taste or odour. Not really much more that you can say about the look. Adding flavouring to water is a good way to spice up a glass of refreshing water, Robinson?s have a good range of fruit flavours and these give a glass of water a different and interesting taste. It is relatively inexpensive, Anglian Water charge around 1 penny for 20 glasses of tap water or around 5.8 pence for a litre and it can be 500 times cheaper than bottled water from a supermarket. Currently water is available on or off a water meter, people who chose to switch to a water meter can save a great deal of money. When...

Review of Tap Water

Breaking Glass, the sound of a shattered career

Advantages: Good music and insight into Britain in the early 80's
Disadvantages: Certain scenes are very difficult to watch now

...1980, Punk was dying and 2 Tone was only just getting established in the Midlands. Music was either the New Wave alternative, Glam Rock , Prog Rock or Disco. And what was Coventry songstress Hazel O'Connor doing with herself. Making this movie, Breaking Glass. It's about a young woman called Kate (apparently named after Kate Bush) trying to break into music from the bottom in the London music scene. Along with a fairly young Phil Daniels fresh from Quadrophenia who plays her manager Danny are Jonathan Pryce playing their deaf saxaphone player Ken, Ken Campbell playing the pub landlord who hosts the bands early gigs (and consistantly refuses to pay them for any), Mark Wing Davey (better known as Zaphod Beeblebrox) playing the record exec that Phil is helping to artifically create sales for. As far as other musical talent there is...

Review of Breaking Glass (DVD)

Heart of Glass

Advantages: A superb story
Disadvantages: No real dislikes for me

...NOTE: There are some spoilers here due to the nature of the film. Shattered Glass won some pretty good reviews from the critics as did Hayden Christensen for his portrayal of Stephen Glass the man who inspired this movie. This was my first opportunity to see the man who would be Vader since Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, so how was it? = What's it all about? = Those fearful words raise their head again “based on a true story”, Shattered Glass is based on a journalistic scandal involving reporter turned novelist Stephen Glass. It is a tale of truths and lies, Stephen Glass is a reporter for The New Republic magazine, big deal? Well it also happens to be the magazine of choice...

Review of Shattered Glass (DVD)

Get two glasses of water ready...!

Advantages: Rice cakes with marmite!
Disadvantages: Not too healthy, too salty and drying.

...water, the packet states that there is 0.6g per pack - that's 10% of an adult's daily intake, which is very high for such a small snack. The cakes were also very drying in the mouth, it felt as it absorbed every bit of fluid that was in my mouth and hence, you will need a good few glasses of water after eating these. These rice cakes cost around 55p for a 30g pack, which contains about 20 small rice cakes per pack. They are so drying and salty, I wouldn't recommend having the whole pack all in one sitting, I felt I'd had enough after about 3 or 4 cakes, plus needed a glass of water for it. A really good idea to flavour the healthy rice cakes, but probably not with marmite! Thanks for reading. xx © Leighsa 2009 (also on Dooyoo)....

Review of Marmite Rice Cakes

Better Than Water

Advantages: Two worlds melded together very nicely
Disadvantages: Not terribly well drawn characters

...Mike Carey is not a name I'd come across before, but on hearing he'd written the book that the film ''Constantine'' was based on, I was certainly interested in his work. ''Thicker Than Water'' is the fourth in his series involving Felix Castor and whilst that gave me slight pause about coming in to an already well established series, my desire to check out Carey's work outweighed any concerns I had. Felix Castor is an exorcist, attempting to fight the demons, werewolves and zombies that inhabit our world. Not all of them, as his closest friend has a demon living inside him whilst his friends Nicky and Juliet are a zombie and succubus. Mostly, he lets such things be, but if they cause trouble he takes it upon himself to remove them from the world and let us mere humans live in peace. This time around, Castor is implicated in a murder...

Review of Thicker Than Water - Mike Carey

Drinking glasses....not to be confused with beer goggles!

Advantages: A novelty item, ideal to entertain my son, and any other male in the house!
Disadvantages: Only a cheap and cheerful item, not really made to last.

...ingenious idea, combing two of my sons favourite things, straws and drinking through them! The packaging is very basic. There is the ?straw glasses?, and two clear lengths of tubing, one shorter than the other. These are all vacuum packed in plastic and secured against a cardboard sheet with a cartoon picture of a man using the glasses. To remove you simply tear the plastic away from the cardboard and remove the glasses and tubing. Before use it is always advisable to wash all the components in hot soapy water rinsing well before use. The set up again is very simple. You attach the shorter tube to one side of the glasses, this will be the mouth piece. The longer piece is attached to the other side and this will be the part that goes into the drink. The most advisable thing to do before putting this part into your drink is to try...

The Beauty of Glass

Advantages: Simply beautifully moving
Disadvantages: None whatsoever

...I find it very difficult to begin to try and explain Philip Glass? Solo Piano because despite my preponderance of music ops I have absolutely no understanding of the theory behind music; terminology and technique means nothing to me: this is not a virtue and especially in attempting to explain the subtle delight in Glass? music I find myself flummoxed, but I shall try nevertheless, if only because no one else has and it is music that I love. I am very much a new convert to Glass? music and am now firmly entrenched in the belief that his work is magnificence of the highest order. From my little knowledge of outward cultural reaction to Glass it always appears to me that he has a following of near cult status, unusually successful and yet somehow shunned by critics and the establishment in favour of other composers. I am perhaps wrong...

Review of Solo Piano - Philip Glass

Through a glass darkly

Advantages: Good Conclusion
Disadvantages: Slow pace

...discover all the charges against Marco have been dropped. Upon his release the three men bump into Marco's father in law De Cal, an owner of the local glass making plant. He is furious with Marco and threatens to hurt him. After some informal enquiries Brunetti is satisfied that 'the old man' is just shouting his mouth off and means him no actual harm. Then Giorgio Tassini, the Night Watchman at the Glass Plant is found dead. Upon investigation he has also been talking bitterly about the Plant to everyone. Brunetti discovers he has a dossier about the Plant, claiming the owner to be responsible for his two year old daughter's bad health. The Commissario must find out if it is Tassini's own guilt that makes him believe this or if there really is a case to answer by De Cal and the other next door plant owner Fasano. My thoughts...

Review of Through a Glass, Darkly - Donna Leon

Cool Water

Advantages: Great long lasting fragrance
Disadvantages: can be a little expensive

...and the bottle are made with this in mind, so as the people who buy it are reminded of their holidays (it sounds silly but thats what I think) The bottle of perfume is made from coloured blue glass which is see through so as you can clearly see how much perfume you have left in the bottle. The bottle is quite chunky and cylindrical at the bottom and gradually thins out nearer the top of the bottle. The perfume is dispensed through a silver spray top which gives you a generous spray of the perfume. I usually spray loads of it and my hubby complains and says that the house smells like the perfume counter at Debenhams lol. Cool Water is the only perfume in my collection which he moans about me spraying too much of. I love the smell of Cool Water because it smells so exotic, warm and summery when I spritz myself with Cool Waters the scent of it...
