Style & Beauty > Perfumes & Fragrances The search for the perfect deodorant: 2 of 15
Does the perfect deodorant exist? I guess it must, but perfect means different things to different people. Some want their deodorant predominantly to keep the sweat away, while others choose the scent first with deodorizing effects coming a poor second place. Luckily for me I believe I found the best of both worlds when I st... More..
Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: Hair removal experiences: 2 of 13
Being a man of the shaven headed variety, as well as a self confessed lazy whatsit, I am always looking for ways to avoid shaving my head every morning. Those 15 minutes propped up at the bathroom mirror with my trusted Philishave could surely be spent more constructively, i.e. in bed asleep. So, I stumbled on the brilliant ... More..
Computers & Technology > Consumer Electronics (Other) The race: Blu-ray DVD vs. HD DVD format: 3 of 18
At the time of writing (March 2008) Blue-ray has won the battle to become the next generation media of choice in our living rooms. Following a number of high profile defections to the Blue-ray camp by studios and retailers alike, Toshiba conceded defeat to the Sony Corp led Blue-ray format. In truth, HD-DVD received body blo...

Computers & Technology > Cell Phone Reviews Cell phone reviews: Samsung cell phones: 1 of 6
Samsung P400 Although I was fairly happy with my old Nokia 3310 there comes a time when a mobile phone upgrade becomes a necessity. I wanted a high spec phone that had WAP access so that I could check travel reports and football results while out and about, I also fancied some snazzy polyphonic ring-tones and I'd always like...

Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: Wedding Crashers (2005): 1 of 6
BRIDESMAIDS ARE DESPERATE CONSOLE THEM The fact that John Beckwith (Owen Wilson) and Jeremy Grey (Vince Vaughn) spend their working lives as divorce mediators may explain their need to see the happier side of marriage, or maybe they are just a couple of blaggers hell bent on having a good time. Whatever the reason, when wedd... More..
Computers & Technology > Internet Software & Utils Getting started with Google's Gmail: 1 of 5
We all have email addresses, most of us more than one, and although the one that is associated with our Internet service provider is almost certainly the main one we use it never hurts to have a back up or two in case of connectivity problems. But why would you need yet another email address? Well, Gmail is a little differen... More..
Computers & Technology > MP3 Players Product reviews: Apple iPod: 4 of 19
This is a review of the fourth generation iPod - Now lets be honest, even as little as ten years ago if someone had told you there would soon be a contraption that could store and playback your whole music collection you may well have laughed in their face. Add to that the fact that this wonder machine of the future would be... More..
Entertainment > Movie Genres Best comedies since 2000: 3 of 14
For me, the movie "Anchorman: the Legend of Ron Burgundy" is the best comedy for some time. The actors are all on top of their game, and the lines are pure gold, with Ron Burgundy himself surely passing into the annals of greatest film characters of our time. With "a voice to make a Wolverine Purr and suits that make Sinatra... More..
Food & Drink > Breads, Grains, Pasta & Rice Food reviews: ACT II popcorn: 3 of 14
In my opinion, popcorn is as essential a part of movie watching as the movie itself! But if you are planning on watching a film at home the choices of decent popcorn have been a very hit and miss affair until recently. Luckily this delicacy can be found outside the walls of the local picture house a lot more freely nowadays ... More..
Hobbies & Games > Video Game Reviews Video game reviews: Sega Superstars Tennis (Wii, PS3, Xbox360, DS, PS2): 1 of 4
Tennis; not a sport I particularly enjoy watching, and certainly not a sport I've ever considered donning my finest Fred Perry and participating in, so any console game based on the racket sport was always going to face an uphill task trying to engage me. Sega Superstar Tennis nearly didn't deliver; I first played it last ye... More..
