Costs Slightly More, But Absolutely Worth It
Review of Anchor New Zealand Butter by
Kezza88
Advantages: Smooth, creamy taste - no hydrogenated fats either.
Disadvantages: Slightly more expensive than other brands.
...To start, it seems as if this product used to be advertised by using cheesy dancing & singing cows. Well, Kiwi cows apparently have no time for that anymore, they're too busy munching lush green grass all year round to produce the cream for this wonderfully creamy butter.
The colour is a pale yellow - none of this American colour added in season stuff - there's no need for that. Some butters are bright yellow, but in my experience bright yellow normally means rancid, so watch out for this. The ingredients are cream and salt (about 1.3% of the product is salt), which means that there are no vegetable oils, hydrogenated fats or other additives.
Anchor butter is fantastic spread on toast. It melts fairly quickly (but not too quickly like margarine), so it is possible to spread it over your hot piece of toast without using too much...

Insider View of an Irish girl in Germany
Review of Germany : Republic of Ireland (2002 FIFA World Cup Korea/Japan) by
free4susan
Advantages: Such joy!
Disadvantages: It was only a draw - what would we be like if we won a game??
.... There was no increase in bunting or extra German flags around. The BMWs and Mercedes are not decorated with little German flags from the back windows. When I asked a German colleague about this she said I would not see these public displays of nationalism unless Germany won the game. And if they lost, the team would be dismissed as useless. I find this all a real shame as the lack of atmosphere is a big thing.
However there was no lack of atmosphere when I arrived at the pub. The place was heaving with a half an hour to go to kick-off. God help the poor waitresses who were serving the tables, there wasn't room to breathe in there, let alone carry trays of drinks to tables. Surprisingly the pub had also a huge amount of German supporters, I would imagine it was half-half. The reason? The Germans who were near us made it quite clear...

Caprice... ain't she a model?
Review of Caprice, Edinburgh by
Calldean
Advantages: Cosy, great range of food and prices
Disadvantages: Can be a bit slow with service
...How can I describe the Caprice?
It's small.
Cosy I would say.
It's tucked away on a small high street corner in Musselburgh and on a winters night it's great to sit in there and watch the world go by.
THe decor is.... tacky. There is some very bad carving on the walls (Especially the "deer". Least that's what I think it's meant to be. Keep meaning to ask) but it all adds to the atmosphere of the place. Well; I keep telling myself that anyway!!
The downstairs only seats about 40 people maybe. And I must admit it can be a bit cramped. But again; it's cosy.
The food on offer ranges from basic pizzas through the normal pastas onto veal, and half+half (Consiting of half a pizza and a smaller than normal serving of pasta of your choice).
The range of food is great.
Starters include the usual soups and prawn cocktails but it also...

Immac for Women
Review of Immac Hair Removal Cream Sensitive Plus by
moonbright
Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Smell of the product
...You have to put the cream on and leave it for five minutes. After these five minutes you have to use a damp piece of cotton wool to remove te hair and cream. The smell which this cream creates is disgusting and lingers in the house for over twenty-four hours. The cream doesn't really work and the hairs grow back within three days. I think that the cream should be improved and that the smell should be appealing.
I will probably not be buying this product again, as I was so disappointed with it....

A Cinema Treat....
Review of Haagan Dazs Cookies And Cream by
angeelu
Advantages: Tasty! Chocolatey!
Disadvantages: Makes you fat if you eat too many!
...Cookies and Cream... just thinking of the name makes my mouth start to water.
I'll start by explaining my title... Just about the only time I ever eat Haagen Dazs ice-cream is when I go to the cinema, hence it is my cinema treat - and the flavour I'll opt for 9 times out of 10 is Cookies and Cream.
The ice-cream is a luxury vanilla ice-cream with pieces of chocolate cookie crumbled into it. The pieces range from little crumbs to small pebble sized pieces.
Haagen Dazs themselves describe this product as follows:
"Finally there’s an ice cream to satisfy the milk-and-cookies kid in all of us. Pieces of your favorite chocolate cookies are dunked into delicious, creamy vanilla ice cream. It’s like coming home again"
Cookies & Cream is available in two types of product, firstly there's the tub, and secondly the bar... the bar...

Siana Anti Wrinkle Night Cream
Review of Siana Anti Wrinkle Night Cream by
JodaleneC
Advantages: Very light and refreshing with subtle fragrance
Disadvantages: None that I have experienced
...I am 24 years old and although some people may think this is a young age to begin using Anti Wrinkle Creams, you would be wrong. Many beauticians have advised me that the ideal age to begin using these products is around 21 years old.
I have tried many face creams in the past, anti wrinkle and general moisturisers. But I have to say that I have fallen in love with Siana Anti Wrinkle Night Cream. I apply the cream at night after fully cleansing my face and I find it a very satisfying product.
The cream is very light with a subtle refresshing fragrance. And although I have found several night creams to leave my skin feeling greasy in the morning, this is not the case with Siana Night Cream. I wake to find that my skin looks very refreshed and feels silky smooth with no geasy residue.
You can buy 50ml of this cream for under £2 which...

One isn't enough
Review of Twix Ice-Cream by
mumsymary
Advantages: tasty
Disadvantages: must be fattening
...Twix ice cream
I am sat her this evening eating a twix ice cream. I bought it at the beginning of the summer 4 in a pkt, 2 pkts for the price of 1 £1.99 from Tesco’s.
This Twix is just a single finger of chocolate covered ice cream taking a bite from the end inside is a vanilla ice cream. The next bite I discover a crunchy biscuit with caramel. The ice cream is soft and creamy the sweet flavour of caramel is intermixed.
The whole ice cream is covered in a nice chocolate you need to hold the ice cream end by the wrapper otherwise you get very sticky fingers. The ice cream takes about 4 0r 5 bites to consume.
The size is not big just enough for a child as a treat (or a grown up) but it might leave you wanting more! It was not enough to satisfy me, I had to raid the freezer for another.
Thanks for reading. Hope we get lots...
