Mercian Black Widow Hammerhead CB3 Composite Hockey Stick

Lightweight and flimsy that was unplayable after 3 matches

Advantages: Relatively cheap
Disadvantages: Had an extremely bad experience, as it broke after 3 matches

I play hockey on a regular basis and I bought this at the start of the season. My first impression was relatively good, the overall hitting seemed painless with little vibration and the light-weight design was clearly effective for dribbling. However after my second match I already noticed alot of wear and tear, which was surprising considering i paid £40 for this stick and I was greatly disapointed. The paintwork was falling off and the stick literally seemed to be falling apart, everytime I hit the ball I felt like a 'dudd' - pardon the expression, but I just don't know how else to explain it. By my third match I was generally just worried whether or not my stick would last, so much so that I took my old stick with me, as well as putting some reinforcement tape on the end of my swordfish.

Black Widow - Jessie Keane

Advantages: She is much better than Martina Cole
Disadvantages: It had to end

Black Widow - Jessie Keane This is my first Jessie Keane read and it certainly won't be my last. Black widow is the second book in a trilogy, but it can easily be read as a standalone as the reader is told briefly of the history between characters.

Annie, Max and there 4 year old daughter Layla are living in 1970s Majorca when there is a hit on them, leaving Annie alone at the house and Max and Layla gone. In a fight to save her family Annie travels to London to rescue them anyway she can. This was a well written book with twists and turns at every corner, it will certainly keep you entertained. You see different sides of Annie, the soft and vulnerable to the strong. You see what she goes through as a mother and Head ...

Review of Black Widow - Jessie Keane

Oh what tangled webs some weave - The Black Widow

Advantages: Excellent acting and suspence.
Disadvantages: Check for sub-title availablity. The end of the story lets it down.

cabin in the woods. For a while the viewer may wonder if she really wants to kill him because she seems content if not happy, but when the opportunity arises, she knows what she 'has' to do... Following her late husband no: 3, she is off to the more tropical environment of Hawaii and this is where Agent Alex Barnes (Debra Winger) catches up with her. Alex seems to be the complete opposite of Catherine, not as confident, self-conscious and perhaps inexperienced in love. But then we realise that she is similar to Catherine in the way she is obsessive about her 'prey', and could perhaps pose as impressionable/naïve to get into her suspects mind to second guess them, but as with much in this film there is so much sub-text going on that we never know. After Alex has fought with her superiors to get permission to follow the suspected Black Widow ...
