Kookaburra Encounter Hockey Glove

Natural Rubber Gloves.

Advantages: A good quality product that is durable.
Disadvantages: None.

Rubber gloves are not on my list of favourite things to buy, I rarely wear them for anything else other cleaning drains or unblocking sink traps. But saying that I always keep a pair in my cupboard for dealing with those unforeseen emergencies. Getting the right type of rubber gloves can be tricky, some are so flimsy that they tear on their first outing, others can be so thick that you cannot feel your fingers and if you manage to buy the right size first time around then you are a far better woman than I am. The cheap rubber gloves are very hit and miss, they invariably have no lining and will end up damaging the skin on your hands. I find that the supermarket own brands often make my hands sweat so when I take the glove off my skin looks wrinklier than ever. Pay a little more for a pair of rubber gloves and you seem to get ...

Review of Hockey - General

Close Encounters of the 40s Kind

Advantages: Great dialogue, cinematography and acting
Disadvantages: Can be too quaint to be taken seriously by modern audiences.

There are films that a lot of people think they know, but have never really seen. David Lean?s ?Brief Encounter? is certainly a good example. Most people can tell you the plot, a doomed romance conducted at a railway station. Others will tell you there?s a bit when the train?s moving off and someone?s running to keep up (there, er, isn?t). Some people can even tell you that Noel Coward wrote it. It?s one of those films like Citizen Kane, where you can feel that the critics have watched it just so that you don?t have to. I was surprised, then, at how much of a gem it really was. The film opens at the station, where the bulk of the action takes place. A guard hops over the tracks (a more devil may care time) and strolls into the cafe. Once in there, he begins some cheery banter with the manager. Just as this is becoming irredeemably ...
