I have found it difficult buying things online in the past. The main problem I have is with the size of things. Now I certainly wouldn't say that I am oddly shaped or sized but I've found that when I buy things they are never exactly as I would like them - This shirt is fine in the chest but the arms are a bit too short or these jeans have perfect leg length but the waist is too big. I notice this problem particularly when buying things that come in "lettered" sizes ie, S,M,L etc which is usually how helmets are sold, so I found it really helpfull that 661 supply sizes in cm with their helmets. All I had to do was measure my head as per the instructions on the website and voila! And do you know what? When I took this helmet out of the box and tried it on it fit perfectly.
The helmet itself is the best one I've worn to date. It is ...

Advantages: comfortable, better fitting shoes at reasonable prices Disadvantages: limited range, most of them are quite ugly
First let me explain ?scone shoes.? When I first ordered shoes from the Shoe Tailor, experts in wider-fitting shoes, I measured my feet incorrectly and found that the only shoes in their catalogue that would fit me were their widest, ugliest, most orthopaedic, brown, granny shoes: the type you might wear to go out with your friends for a scone, in your later years.

They were very comfy! However, they fell apart after a couple of years of continuous wear, and once gone, same said friends took me shopping to some ?proper? shoe shops in Glasgow and I never once consulted my Shoe Tailor catalogue again.
That was about eight years ago, and although I?m not exactly old and doddery yet, I am finding shoes to be ...

Advantages: funny, sweet, good performances (particularly Zooey Deschanel) Disadvantages: a little cheesy at times, panned by critics
I'd heard quite a few reviews label "Failure To Launch" a bit of a dud, but it's a film I've always been interested in watching anyway! So I recently made the decision to buy it. For one thing, I could get it cheap on play.com. Secondly, I liked the idea of the film and - um, hello! - the bee-yootiful Matthew McM was in it. And thirdly, as you probably know about me by now, I rarely let bad film reviews put me off - in fact, I often take them as encouragement!
To be honest, I wasn't too sure what to expect from this, mainly based on the reviews it had received. However, I tried to go into watching it with an open mind and not let any negativity bias me one way or the other.
The story centres around Tripp, a thirty five year old man who is successful, handsome and charismatic. His main flaw is that he still lives with his parents ...
