Advantages: ease of use
Disadvantages: possible fraud

...I have a number of Internet based accounts and have never felt woried about the security of it. What people forget is that banks have always had security problems and it is just as easy for someone to commit fraud off the internet as it is on. Indeed because of the frenzy caused by any smell of a security breech on the Internet banks are doing more to stop this than any other form of fraud. I feel secure and know now what is happening to my account on a day to day basis and therefore I can stop any fraud very quickly. I don't have to wait for a statement to arrive to know someone has been taking money from my account without telling me. New things are always a bit daunting but online banking is here to stay and a good job too.... Read review

Advantages: Smart, Leather seeted Breeches for in the saddle elegance
Disadvantages: none really, white does get filthy tho!

...I got these when other pair of show breeches gave up the ghost, and I couldn't be bothered to repair them anymore! Just Toggs Grand Prix breeches are fantastic. They have a Clarino leather full seat, and are fully machine washable! Hurrah! AND they were not too pricey! RRP £60. Last Christmas mine were approximately £57.99, so look around and find the best price! I've got a few Just Toggs items and there products are pretty good, middle of the road price ranges. They are 80% cotton, 12% spandex and 8% lycra. (The bits without the leather on that is). They come in 5 different colours, White- the ones I have, fawn- the ones in the product picture, Cranberry, Blue and Black. I'm not certain if they have discontinued the Cranberry, but I couldn't find them last time I checked! What attracted me to them was a multifactoral choice... Read review

Advantages: Great game
Disadvantages: Just not the best game

...The question is whether you'll get the playtime from the game that the street price of $40 should deliver. The 16 missions are diverse and varied, both in environment and goals, with some excellent detail in every one. They can be played in any order. You can dip into any mission at any time, which is handy, as I'm stuck on the sixth (bank heist) one, but I've completed 13 of the 16 despite that. There is some repetitiveness to the breeching of doors, the sweeping of stairwells and the searching of rooms, but when all is said and done SWAT 3 offers exceptionally tense gameplay, and its team-oriented, real-world slant gives it a relatively fresh and innovative feel. Short? Yes. Lacking multiplayer? Yes. But it's fun all the same, and that's always the number one selling point for any game. SWAT 3 narrowly misses out on being one... Read review

Advantages: Gritty, black comedy with characters you can warm to.
Disadvantages: 85mins runtime could have been extended with more detail

...After recently purchasing this film thanks to a keen interest in the work of Cillian Murphy, I sat down one rainy afternoon and found myself completely enthralled. This short film took me out of my living room from the moment it began to it's successful completion. Directed by John Carney, On the Edge focuses on Johnathan Breech (Cillian Murphy) who, using sarcasm and humour, deflects his spiral into self-destruction for as long as he can. An encounter with a cliff leads him straight into an Irish mental institution, where he learns his lessons on life and love through a plethora of intriguing characters, including the surprisingly low-key Stephen Rea as his psychiatrist, and the naturally beautiful Tricia Vessey as his love interest. From the outset it's clear that everyone within the institution is far more messed up than Breech... Read review

Advantages: Renowned Accuracy, many upgrades available, very quick, light, air efficient
Disadvantages: difficult maintanence (if you dont know what you are doing)

.../s depending on if you have QEV's and other related variables) The COCKING SOLENOID ON TIME or CON, starts to countdown and the cocking solenoid at the front of the gun, is activated. What this does, is diverts air from the LPR or Low Pressure Regulator at the front of the gun, from the back of the ram (bit at front with pump rod screwed on) to the front of the ram, which forces the ram, to open push the pump arm back. The Pump arm, is connected to the back block, which has the bolt connected to it, via the bolt pin....so pushing this back, allows the breech to be open, and another ball to drop in...the action of the back block going back, also collects the cocking rod, pulling this back against the force of the main spring, to the point where the sear catches it again, ready for the next shot. The CON (typically 30-40m/s on a fast gun) time... Read review

Advantages: Great views, great scenary
Disadvantages: Some steep slopes

...It was a cold grey morning, I had a day off from working while out in Germany. I wanted a trip out somewhere. So after a drive around I ended up here. I looked out over the cold grey water, I could see various water birds bobbing about in the relatively calm waters. I thought about the amount of people who lost their lives here on May 16th-17th 1943, I thought about what it must have been like for those Germans standing where I was now standing. I thought about the villagers in the valley below who lost their lives when the dam was breeched. I also thought about the pilots and aircrew who launched the daring raid to breech the dams. ** So where am I ? ** I am visiting the Mohne dam, which along with the Eder dam, and the Scorp dam were attacked by the RAF during World War 2. This became the famous Dambusters raid, of which... Read review

Advantages: Hugh, music, photography
Disadvantages: the direction

...I must admit I went into this film with a few misgivings. It was being hyped as another Meg Ryan-esque film, and I have certainly had my fair share of those! ‘You Got Mail’, while sweet and slushy, was for me one too many of Ryan being cutesy and sweet. And, as my two female friends and I made ourselves comfortable, we all agreed with knowing looks that indeed the main reason for watching this was a certain casting of one Hugh Jackman. After the great performance as Wolverine (cute but too hairy), and the brilliant acting in Swordfish (acted well, looked good, and revealed much chest-flesh for our delight), he has chosen another romcom to display his wares in, this time by spending much of his time in breeches. Mr Darcy meets Hollywood! He even tries out the old upper-class English accent, and gets away with it (it... Read review

Advantages: excellent referral for pregnancy
Disadvantages: none

...A friend had donated this book to me in my third month of pregnancy and for the next few months it came in handy when I was unsure if this or that symptom or feeling was normal or if I was the rare exception. In the last trimester , though, I began reading the book religiously, making sure all was well, and seeing if I had the symptoms that pointed to "Honey It's Time". In my last month, carefully reading this book, I noticed something odd. The book gives you a brief description of how to tell what position the baby is in; head down, head up etc... after reading on this topic I was feeling around on my peanut shaped abdomen and thought my baby has got to be turned the wrong way... I mentioned this to my Doctor who just blew off the possibility of my baby being breech. sometime later that week I began having mediocure... Read review

Advantages: Allows the user to find specific MP3s.
Disadvantages: Slow download times, over-complicated software.

...When I first heard about Napster, it sounded like a really great idea. It still is, but unfortunately the service did not meet my expectations. The MP3 demand craze is still very apparent. Why pay for music in a shop when you can download it for free? The principle behind Napster is excellent. The idea is that you can share MP3 with other members, therefore not breeching copyright laws (so they thought). It turns out that it is illegal, as the MP3 file is not exchange but copied, ie one file becomes two etc. Either way it is illegal to use this service, but that is for the individual user to decide. My problem with it is not whether I should stick to the law and not use it, but consider whether or not is all that good anyway. I have downloaded two versions of Napster and neither have provided me with a service worth wasting my... Read review

Advantages: the birth is pain free, you canhave aspinal block or epidural so you can beawake through the whole process and your partner can be there for the birth.
Disadvantages: a 5 day stay in hospital afterwards, being very sore for at least 2weeks and not being ableto get completely back to normal (driving, vacuuming etc) for 6 weks after.

...hour, I was in theatre undergoing a section. i still reckon to thisday that it was going to the cinema and watching 'Independece day' that made baby go breech - part way through the film, all hell breaks loose and ihad to physically hold my stomach as the baby did somersaults - it felt revolting. As far as having the section is concerned, it was all over fairly quickly and everything that was going on was fully explained and they didn't do anything before telling me first. it meant a 5 daystay in hospital and i was quite sore but i hadthe best care i could have hoped for. but most importantly, my baby was born perfectly healthy and isnow a healthy 4 year old. I still wonder what may have happened had the midwife not found the babywas feet firstand they hadpresed ahead wih a normal delivery- it doesn't bear thinking about.... Read review
