Keeping wounds clean

Advantages: Keeps wounds clean dry and comfortable
Disadvantages: None

...Melolin wound dressing pads With my operated on finger now (hopefully) on the mend, I have to try to dress it mself in between visits to the hospital. I bought this pack of dressings because i found that the sticky dressings were too much trouble when I tried to cut them off using scissors with my left hand. WHAT ARE THEY? These were apparently originally developed for use in hospitals and are to be used for first aid wound dressing. The dressings are highly absorbent, so they can absorb excess moisture from the wound, multi layered and therefore cushioned to provide protection, low adherent so they don?t hurt when removed, and sterile until opened. So, these appear to be ideal for my stitched and very painful finger! PRODUCT AND PACKAGING... The wound dressings come in a green easy to open packet, which can be...

Walking Wounded

Advantages: Some good action
Disadvantages: lame plot, seen it all before

...There were quite a few eyebrows raised last year when Exit Wounds went straight to the top of the US box office with a $19 million take, the reason for this was the fact that any film starring Steven Seagal in last few years hasn't had the fortune to even make it to a cinema screen. Why this film was the exception is anyone's guess as there's nothing that makes it stand out from the pack in any way. Seagal plays Orin Boyd, a chicago cop who doesn't do things by the book but get's results. His latest exploit results in the safety of a US senator but a lot of bloodshed and carnage as a result. This leads to Boyd's expulsion to one of the worse precincts in the city, it's here that he upsets the applecart and cpmes across widespread corruption in the force. In the meantime his attentions are brought to a possible drug dealer in...

Savlon Antiseptic Wound Wash

Advantages: Cleans piercings and washes wounds!
Disadvantages: None

...If you go and get a piercing, they'll try and flog you some products to clean out the pericing with (usually at inflated prices, so decline whatever they offer and get it from Boots or a chemist.) I got my Savlon spray when I had my belly button pierced, it cost about £2.50 and one 100ml bottle will last you about a month of twice daily wound washing! Savlon wound wash is a spray for first aid treatment. It protects against infection by cleansing and killing bacteria in cuts, grazes and minor would, and piercings. It effectively washes out dirt and debris without the need to tuch sore or broken skin. My boyfriend uses it on his muddy football grazes and it works a treat at washing away all the little bits of dirt that normally you wouldnt be able to wash out unless you touched the wound. The spray acts as a kind of jet to...

Review of Savlon Wound Wash

The Soul Bird

Advantages: Simple, Genuine, Good for kids
Disadvantages: Simple, More for kids

..."Deep down, inside our bodies, lives the soul. No one has ever seen it, but we all know it's there. Not only do we know it's there, we know what's in it, too" My grandfather was a religious correspondent for the BBC, he also wrote many books about religion, but after many years of searching he decided that he was a Quaker. My grandmother was also a Quaker and a few months before she died she gave me The Soul Bird, I read it quickly and then put it on my book case and forgot all about it. After she was gone I spent some more time reading this book, it can be quite powerful. The Soul Bird is written by Michal Snunit, an Israeli author born in 1940. She has taken on many literary roles from editing a weekly magazine to being a journalist for a daily paper or writing lyrics for children's musicals. She is best known for her...

Dead Birds

Advantages: creepy, good sound
Disadvantages: slow

...time goes on they come to realise that not all is as it seems in this innocuous looking shelter and they soon begin to think that staying there may not have been a good idea. Dead Birds was recommended to me a little while ago and I decided to rent it out to see what it was like. And whilst its title is misleading I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by the film, it is by no means perfect but it is far from being a complete lemon. On one side the film is fairly original in that it is set during the American Civil War, and in that whole setup looked good to me, the uniforms and the war-weary look in the people's faces all went to create a world that seemed believable and convincing, (to me at least). But it also follows standard genre conventions in that we have a creepy house, complete with a large cornfield that is spooky by...

Walking Wounded - Everything But The Girl

Advantages: Some Good Songs, Good Lyrics
Disadvantages: A Bit Too Techno In Places

...strange things can sometimes happen and in 1994 Todd Terry got his hands on an Everything But The Girl track from their previous Album, Amplified Heart, called Missing and remixed it into a dance track. The result was one of the biggest selling singles of the decade, but this new direction was not welcomed by all, and many faithful Everything But The Girl fans wondered if this signalled yet another change in direction for the band towards a more dance orientated theme. In 1996 Everything But The Girl released their eight studio Album entitled Walking Wounded. From the very introduction it is apparent that the success of Missing has steered the duo towards the bright lights and pound signs of the dancefloor. This Album is full of strange experimental noises and sounds created from a whole plethora different instruments. The Album contains...

Advantages: Classic Hitchcock - I can say no more !!
Disadvantages: None

...I'm starting this review with a quote from the Master himself, Alfred Hitchcock: "When a new Hitchcock film appears, the public and critics sit back at the start and say to themselves, 'Let's see him scare me.' My job is to get them up on the edge of their seats, and to keep them there. It gets more difficult all the time because one must find new ways to surprise an audience. Any time a viewer of one of my films can say to himself, 'I knew that was coming,' I've lost him." THE BIRDS After his groundbreaking 1960 shocker 'Psyco', Alfred Hitchcock re-emerged three years later with 'The Birds' - a story of a California coastal town filled with an onslaught of seemingly unexplained, attacks by ordinary birds. 'The Birds' was based on the story of the same name written by Daphne Du Maurier - this was Hitchcock's third...

Birds Eye Potato Waffles

Advantages: Taste good, handy to keep in the freezer
Disadvantages: On a personal level I prefer home-made potato products

...Birds Eye Potato Waffles were first introduced on the market in 1981 and are still as popular to this day as they were back then. I always keep a pack in my freezer as they are a firm favourite of my children. They are really versatile in the sense that they can be used as an accompianment alongside most dishes. Birds Eye Waffles are rectangular in shape with a criss/cross pattern throughout. When cooked they have a golden brown, quite crispy exterior with fluffy white potato in the centre. They can be grilled, baked or fried, though I prefer grilling as this is quick to do and the healthier option in comparison to frying. I have tried frying them but I have found they taste more of grease than potato and this really spoilt it for me, so I tend to stick to grilling them as this maximises the taste. They contain no artificial...

♡ For Birds and Lovers ♡

Advantages: It really is a get away from it all place.
Disadvantages: Not for bird haters or claustraphobics or clubbers.

...wonder whether he had thought of cancellation insurance should I have refused his offer. Mind you, he obviously knew I needed snapping up fast? Our trip to the Seychelles involved sampling four of the Seychelle islands. This review will concentrate on the remote Bird Island, the most northerly of the Seychelles archipelago, 60 miles north of Mahe (the largest island in the group). The Seychelles are located 1600km east of Africa and northeast of Madagascar. They are beautiful tropical islands renowned for unspoilt beaches, flora and fauna which have largely been preserved as a result of careful eco-tourism planning. ☼ Getting there ☼ Bird Island is not easily reached. You will need to fly to Mahe (we went with Air Seychelles from Gatwick) and then travel by light aircraft to Bird Island. This is quite an experience in...

BIRD TELLS WIFE OF HUSBAND'S AFFAIR

Advantages: Very entertaining imitator's
Disadvantages: Messy and noisy

...I once had a mynah bird called Keo, named after a Cypriot beer. Why he was named after a Cypriot beer is somewhat diffuse as I don't particularly like beer and have no connection with Cyprus other than a couple of holidays in Ayia Napa. I suppose I just liked the sound of it at the time. As you probably know, mynah birds are amazing imitators. If you think a parrot?s good, trust me, compared to a mynah, they have the talking age of a foetus. Well, maybe not quite that young but compared to the less spectacular looking mynah bird, their imitation skills really are quite basic. Ours could imitate both my ex husband and myself perfectly, even down getting the accents right. He had the sound of the telephone ringing down to a fine art, and as his cage was against the wall that connected with the bathroom, the sound of the toilet...
