...I had to buy some more goggles the other day at the swimming baths as my other cheap ones broke. The plastic strip that goes over your nose snapped. I think that the chlorine wrecked them, but they where only cheap so they did last quite a while.
So the swimming baths only had a few to choose from. I didn't want to buy the cheap ones again as I knew that they would just break. So these where the middle of the range, priced at £19.99. The cheap ones that I brought before where £6.99.
They where available in a choice of colours. All of which are pale and transparent. There was Purple, Blue, Green or Clear.
On the front of the packaging there was a picture of a man swimming wearing the goggles.
The goggles are adjustable to sit different sized heads. There are smaller ones for children. You can adjust the large strap at the back to make...

Advantages: Easy to put on, wash and dry. Disadvantages: A touch on the expensive side.
...I know this is another horse review but I proposed this product ages ago and then got fed up and wrote a review about a different pair of boots. Weeks later this product proposal was accepted, so I may as well write about it. The boots are good.
Fetlocks.
* * * * * * * *
Fetlocks are the lowest joint on the horses legs. You can see in the picture above the fetlock boots which cover the fetlocks. Starting from the ground the horse has a hoof, then the coronet (around the top of the hoof) then the pastern (the sloping bone above the hoof) and then the fetlock joint. If I were writing a review on the points of the horse then it would be slightly more detailed, but this is all that we need to know with regards to fetlock boots. Fetlocks are a little bit like our ankles though not strictly speaking as they are not the same through...

Advantages: Stops your shins from breaking! Disadvantages: smell after a while!
...Shinpads are a vital piece of equipment when it comes to football. From the world cup down to the Preston Sunday League Division Four. All players must wear Shinpads.
The main reason for this equipment is it hurts when you get kicked in the shin as the shin is made of two bones (tibia and fibula) and they have only skin for protection. So no real protectection. They also break pretty easyly so the shin pad provides massive protection for this tender part of the body.
Anybody who sees the likes of Steven Gerrard lunging in with two feet and Mo Sissoko aswell as Michael Essien and of course the famous Roy Keane can see the need for a suit of armour although this would not be practical so the shin pad is the most comfortable padding available.
Onto the Nike Tiempo. These were my first choice a short while back as they look very sturdy...

It is often seen as the easy way out for a band to release a live album. After all they are meant to be playing live anyway so recording it and releasing it is almost viewed as cheating. I personally don’t subscribe to this theory and I quite like live... more
