Advantages: sweet rattle
Disadvantages: none

...Zebras, I've noticed play a fairly big part in little boys clothing. Before Scarlett was born we didn't know her gender so we brought some gender neutral clothes and some reduced blue sleep suits and vests, which featured zebras in various designs. Little girls are bunnies whilst little boys are zebras. Whilst looking round for Christmas presents for our little one we found this cute little zebra rattle. The zebra has blue and light blue stripes, small children must get a strange idea about animals! It has a smiley face and a playgro logo on the middle of it. It has a velvety, soft texture to it. Attached to the main body of the zebra is a clear plastic ring, with half of the ring showing and the other half in the zebra body. In the ring are six fairly large balls of the following colours, green,purple. Red, blue, orange and yellow... Read review

Advantages: Reasonably comprehensive tracklist, a must for new fans or collectors
Disadvantages: Some odd exceptions, not one for the casual listener

...Tales of a Librarian is Tori Amos' "Greatest Hits" collection, or nearest equivalent. Rather than than plonk all the best selling singles on one CD, Tori has chosen a selection of tracks she feels represent her musical journey from the release of her first album 'Little Earthquakes' back in 1992 upto the present day. As Amos' fans will know, this is the last album Tori was contractually required to produce with her record Label Atlantic before signing onto Epic. The split was not altogether amicable, so it is a relief that this album is not a complete sellout. Tales from a Librarian includes songs from her first five albums with Atlantic, namely 'Little Earthquakes', 'Under the Pink', 'Boys for Pele', 'Tales from the Choirgirl Hotel' and 'To Venus and Back'. The chosen tracks are mildly contraversial, with the exclusion of fan... Read review

Advantages: makes you laugh
Disadvantages: none

...A few jokes that my teengae daughter passed on. Two eggs boiling away in a saucepan, one egg says " crikey it's hot in here" the other replies," wait until you get out they smash your head in". An egg and a piece of bacon cooking away in a frying pan, the egg says"crikey its hot in here". the bacon jumps out of the pan and says"f#*k me a talking egg". Why did Humpty Dumpty, push Mrs Dumpty of the Wall?. So he could see her Crack!! My son who is practising for his car theory test, asked the other day, "what is the differance between a Pelican crossing ad a Zebra crossing"? My Daughter quickly replied," a Zebra has Four legs". lol cant fault her. thats all folks. lol.... Read review

Advantages: good for kids
Disadvantages: some of it is sad to see

...and to stop them getting bored (the chimp who was running around with a bucket on his head was certainly not bored.) The chimps have a fantastic playground with a variety of ropes, tyres and climbing frames, and are great fun to watch. Most of the enclosures have both outside and inside space. If you look carefully you will see exits from the enclosures which lead to other ones. So it’s a little deceptive. The lemurs have a special overhead run between enclosures so sometimes they jump over each other running along above your head (watch out for flying poo!) The zoo has no elephants because elephants naturally live in packs, and it would be very cruel to keep one or two (Bristol zoo take note)! Also good to see was the zebra enclosure. Again, I think they live in huge herds naturally, but the two zebras and baby I saw had a very large enclosure... Read review

Advantages: some of this may be humerous to me
Disadvantages: i have realised quite how much of a freak i am!

...always used to refer to woodlice as curly bugs (because of the way they curl up into a ball when they are scared) and I never knew that they were called woodlice until one day at school (in year 5!) the teacher asked us all to bring in some insects in a box for an experiment we were doing, seeing as I have a bit of a phobia of touching insects my dad collected some curlybugs….ooops I mean woodlice and put them in a little tub and wrote ‘curlybugs’ on a label and stuck it on the box, needless to say I was severely mocked that day at school!!! D is for dreams - I really do have the strangest dreams, I do psychology and I know all the different theories behind dreams but I cannot understand why mine are so bazaar, in many ways they follow my life as it is but then twist in the most strangest of ways! Like last night my mum and my dog got... Read review

Advantages: not as smelly
Disadvantages: wrecked clothes

..., but just plain offensive if you find yourself on the tube. So it has to be sticks. Creamy sticks tend to leave me with white stripes, zebra like all over my clothes so I try and find clear ones. Secret looked perfect. Here's the claims. Not too stinky, 'glides on clear'. Long lasting protection against wetness and odour. No alcohol. I know that this is great if you're a recovering alcoholic, particularly using Antabuse or similar drugs, and I understand it's kinder to your skin. Oh and it was a 'threefer' in Boots (dontcha just love Boots). Here's the facts. It glides on clear - woohoo, allowing me to look a bit like a professional and together person, at least for the first few minutes of the day. It isn't too stinky - I tried Nature Fresh which smeels slightly like the Flash powder my Mum used to wash the kitchen floor with, and a peach... Read review

Advantages: Its a talking animal movie!
Disadvantages: its a talking animal movie

...An abandoned zebra grows up believing he is a racehorse, and, with the help of his barnyard friends and a teenage girl, sets out to achieve his dream of racing against the other racehorses. I have no children and like to believe that I am an Adult, but sometimes kids films are just better! This isn't Shrek and the humour isn't adult, dont be fooled that this is animated, just because of the film case. The animals are real! The story is a basic one and although largly based around the zebra who wants to be a racehorse, is a story of a father daughter relationship following the death of the wife/mother in a riding accident. The baby Zebra is lost by the circus and found by an expert horse trainer and named 'stripes' by his teenage daughter. Stripes admires the racehorses and believes that he too is a racehorse and can race with them... Read review

...Super write up by zebra you can learn much from it. I prefer climbers myself and have 4 `Pauls Scarlet growing within a few feet of each other. Climbers can be trained to intermingle with each other to give a cascade of color. Although mine are all a brilliant red they are spectacular when in full bloom. I have learned one trick which zebra did not mention. Locate your nearest chimney sweep and buy a sack of soot from him/her. it should not cost much more than £1. Make sure it is old stuff and for best results let it stand uncovered on the garden for a few weeks. Then scatter it round the base of your roses and hoe it into the soil. The sulpher content really does fight off black spot. If you cast your mind back you will recall that blackspot became rampant just after the clean air act was introduced giving good evidence that the sulpher... Read review

Advantages: less expensive that kenzo, distinct smell
Disadvantages: no spray nozzle

...Kenzo Jungle Pour Homme comes in at around £15 for 100ml bottle in the airports and you cannot go wrong with this fragrance. It is the drier woodier herbier brother of Kenzo Pour Homme Kenzo Jungle is not as light and bubbling or refreshing, as Kenzo It is the darker side of the family it is wild yet timid. The bottle has a distinct cap with a Zebra’s mane making it unmistakable, and the bottle shape reminds me of a bone from the sideward perspective. Sometimes I wonder with Kenzo Jungle if I am the predator or the prey, as it seems to attract the primeval instinct of a woman towards you and the same within me.... Read review
