Advantages: The professional yellow hose is very robust
Disadvantages: If the snails get to the instructions before you do - the cart will never get built!

...Well, we moved back to Wales, and got a garden, so my kind loving husband (fiancée at the time) said we go for the "best" the Hoselock Through flow hose and cart, with the yellow professional hose (rather than the green hose). So a trip to Argos and the best of £50 later, one hose and cart (in pieces). - Purely for watering vegetables and a few flowers I was growing for our wedding. I was keen to use it, so we unreeled the long hose and it just reached to where we needed it. It got moved around the large garden we rented and put up with being pulled and dumped in a heap and plenty of rough treatment - whilst the cart rested in the box, and rested and rested. Then it was winter - and oh dear the instructions had been eaten by the snails and slugs... We moved to our smallholding, and our hose was about 15 months old. We didn... Read review

Advantages: I never paid for it
Disadvantages: Non-Platypi Steve may complain I been drinking his java

...but then you are paying for a lot more than just the coffee as there are overheads and wages and such like so a jar of coffee should be a lot cheaper but there are a whole lot of differences in price depending on what brand you buy and Carte Noire is in no way cheap or even average priced in comparison to other brands. So yeah Carte Noire comes in a rectangular shaped glass jar which has a plastic wrap which is where all the printing is. The lid of the jar is a great big black monstrosity thing that almost equals nearly a third of the entire height of the jar. Why on earth the felt that is was necessary to have a gargantuan thing is anyone guess but there you go … it’s there …and you can’t miss it !! Anyway the jar this stuff comes in is kinda a moot point as for all I care it could come in a plastic bag, it’s the coffee I’m interested in... Read review

Advantages: Luxury with the sun
Disadvantages: Dont offer then worldwide

...Thompson A LA Carte is a brand that Thompson offer they more upperclass customers. They offer you are great number of hotels and services to pick from. Which stretch across the Europe. The hotels range from a 4T to a 5T (T is what Thompson use to rate holidays but you can get the offical rating in any of the Thompson holiday books) The things that you get that is totally different from any of you usual Europe holidays are -Once arrivaling at your chosen airport your taken to your hotel by taxi tranfers none of this coach transfers. -Your baggage allowance is automatically be increased to 20kg which is 5kg more than you would nomally get. -You also get the choose of a fresh basket of friut, bottle of wine or fresh flowers on arrival. -The thompson reps are on site all the time as they are asigned to that hotel which...

Advantages: Still fun
Disadvantages: Handles like a dog

...it has stood the test of time pretty well. The game features 17 tracks for you to race on, although (and I counted them) 7 of these are ovals. Luckily each oval is a little different, so it's not a big problem. Car and driver wise there are over 20 to choose from, but given the semi-closed nature of Cart racing they don't differ all that much. The drivers are mostly unknown, apart from the odd ex F1 driver and the two or three cart drivers us Brits have heard of! Ok then, on to the game itself. Indycar as a sport is inevitably going to be compared to F1, so as a game it's only fair to compare it with F1 games. This is basically an F1 game with slightly different cars and different tracks, but unfortunately compared to some of the F1 games I've played it suffers a little. It certainly isn't a bad game, it just isn't brilliant!! You... Read review

Advantages: good close racing with plenty of overtaking
Disadvantages: none

.... Methanol is easily combustible and burns without a flame. Drivers that are on fire dont appear to be alight but if they are distresseed and rolling on the floor, you can garauntee they are on fire. The marshalls are good at extinguishing the flames in a hurry at these races and medical facilities are second to none. The street circuits that CART races around are more like the old F1 races of the 1980's in cities such as Dallas and Las Vegas. Concrete blocks separating cars from each other which normally cause problems. Catch fencing to prevent accident debris going into the crowd. In fact, it is a much more dangerous environment that F1. Rain tyres that are used in F1 have no purpose in CART. Basically if its raining they dont run. The start is different too. No grid as such, its a rolling start. All in all its a good... Read review

Advantages: Storage stable frame
Disadvantages: No Breaks on wheels

...This is a great storage unit for any classroom lab or office if you have many laptops, the cart is made out of a strong steal, and is built on four trolly wheels witch are good if you want to store your cart 'out of the way' the strong top of the cart is stable for computers, laptops, projects ,ect. so your cart could be used as a desk or table. the storage is superb as you can store upto 16 laptops, and have the option to charge them too. alround the cart is realiable as i house my computer on mine, and is still as strong as when i got it. its also easy to move, and easy to charge your laptop(s) from it. The only thing i would improve is the wheels, although the make moving the cart easier, that some times the problem in my situation as i have my computer on it, and over time as i continue to use it, the trolly keeps moving...

Advantages: The TASTE!
Disadvantages: May give you migranes, Quite strong and aromatic.

...Okay, lets face it, we're all familiar with Nescafe, and it's maddeningly numerous amounts of coffee, all varying in content, taste and character... Though that's not always the case, never mind... Forgive my ramblings, and lets look at some delicious Carte Noire. THE AD ------ Okay, just a quick comment on the advert, as I presume there's another section to write about the advert if you want to. Basically, it has a woman talking to David Ginola, who is of course turning on the style. She gives out some words such as "Dark and Aromatic" and he thinks she's talking about him. She's talking about the coffee of course! THE JAR ------- The jar is tall, black, and scary looking. It has the logo of Carte Noire, with Nescafe easily visible for those who are brand monsters... It is designed as a posh little label at the top... Read review

Advantages: Quality Punk Music
Disadvantages: None

...to be introduced to nowadays, Wasted use fast-paced guitaring and vocals that rarely change pitch within each song, therefore ensuring punk compliance. Punk tradition is furthered in their lyrics. Speaking often of social problems such as homelessness, in Shopping Cart, and neglected children, in Suburban Kids, as well as describing the idiocies of war and idiosyncrasies of our political leaders, Here We Go Again is a testament to good judgement and righteous call for action. Choosing English as their recorded language of choice, Wasted isolate themselves from the Finnish market but are subsequently embraced by the global market, whose trend it is towards a uniform and accessible global language. Even if this isn’t their native language it would appear that no intended meaning is lost in the lyrics which remain as important in punk as the music... Read review

Advantages: Lovely rich aroma and smooth taste, tastes like filter coffee but ready in an instant
Disadvantages: none unless you don't like coffee

...don't like my coffee strong and find that a level teaspoon of this coffee adequately provides me with my daily caffeine fix. I purchased a 100g jar of Carte Noire from Asda and paid approximately £2.42, this is more than I pay for Nescafe Original but this coffee is a completely different class than Nescafe. Having tried Carte Noire I wouldn't go back to Nescafe Original. If you like a good quality, premium tasting coffee I would highly recommend that you try Carte Noire. I took a jar into work and both colleagues and clients have enjoyed the taste and I have only received positive feedback. For more information you can call Carte Noire on their free phone number which is 0808 1000 131, (UK only), or e-mail them on talk2CarteNoire@Krafteurope.com. Thank you for reading. Julie...

Advantages: The most popular, the most perfect, the most performed
Disadvantages: None

...of comic baritones going directly back to George Grossmith. His diction in even the fastest of the patter songs defied belief for its clarity. The other soloists are all highly competent in their roles. The orchestral sound is crisp, clear and bright. This recording is one of a series featuring all the popular operettas performed by the D’Oyly Carte Opera Company originally released by DECCA on the London label. This recording features the musical libretto but without the words. My CD copy comes from 1985 and is still in print. It is an Analogue to Digital Remaster. I can heartily recommend it. THE MIKADO - Gilbert & Sullivan (1973) The D’Oyly Carte Opera Company The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra: Conducted by Royston Nash. Soloists: John Reed (Ko-Ko); Colin Wright (Nanki-Poo) Kenneth Sandford (Pooh-Bah); Valerie Masterson (Yum... Read review
