BBE Max Grip Rubber Medicine Ball

Advantages: cheap, excellent durability
Disadvantages: none

...I currently play for a team called LM United in the Kingston and District League based in Surrey. It is a requirement of each team to have two high quality matchballs ready for use before each match. The balls that we use are of the 'Mitre Max' variety and I have no complaints about them. The Mitre Max is a FIFA approved football, infact one of the most popular FIFA approved footballs on the market. It is made from high quality PU leather and features a 26 panel design. We bought ours online for around £20 each so they are of mid-range price wise but offer top performance. You can purchase the mitre max in either a size 4 or 5 and can use them on both natural (grass) and artificial (astroturf) surfaces.

Advantages: Very effective for dry skin and chapped lips
Disadvantages: Initial cost and strange smell

I got some on a deep cut by mistake once and whilst there was a slight stinging sensation it easily washed off and there was no further stinging.

The initial outlay on a 50 ml tube is around £17 which sounds a lot... Read review

...?George?s Marvellous Medicine? was the first of Roald Dahl?s stories which we read to our eldest son. It?s the story of a little boy who has a real stinker of a grandmother. She?s rude and scary and bosses him around all the time. One day George?s mum and dad have both gone out, leaving him alone with his Grandma. George has had enough of Grandma bullying him and so decides to cure her of her cantankerous behaviour with a special potion, which he?ll give her instead of her usual medicine. He finds an enormous saucepan in the kitchen and lugs it all around the house, essentially putting in a bit of everything he finds [lipsticks and canary seed included!]. He even makes sure he adds some brown paint so that it is the same colour as Grandma?s real medicine! He then boils it up to make sure that everything?s nicely mixed together before... Read review
