Advantages: Ease of tuning
Disadvantages: Sometimes a bit pricey

...I've been using a Pearl Free Floater, 14" X 3.5" steel shell picolo for a few years now without any problem. The drum gives an amazing crack when cracked up high, yet has enough volume and sustain to fill an average sized venue. Tuning is without any hassles, and the features of having a tension adjustment screw on bothe ends of the snare strainer allow for a well-tight snare, giving a great sound. The ability to change the actual shell itself is also handy, but a feature I've yet to use. As with all my Pearl drums and hardware (P201 pedal is a dream !) there really is little to fault it. Hghly recommended... Read review

Advantages: Amazing sound
Disadvantages: Tuning pegs have a tendancy to fall out

...I've had a free-floating 5.5"x14" maple snare for around four years, in that time, I've always been impressed by the drums great sound, and amazing rim shots, it's got such a crack. There are often debates in drumming circles as to whether free floating shells actually make any difference, if this snare is anything to go by, I'd say they make a significant difference, as the sound is superior to most normal maple snares of these specifications. The drums resonations are audible, but not unpleasant, and are easily kerbed to a really sweet, and much more desirable level with little tuning effort. With the head at different tensions, this becomes a really versatile snare, it really cuts through, but without losing any depth. As you can see, I have no negative comments about the sound of my snare, it's one of the best I've heard, but I do... Read review

Advantages: Good fighting it looks realistic.
Disadvantages: Its on for too long my bum gets numb.

...is because we don't want ot watch Japan planing the attack in an office or watch American ships floating in the sea. The love story was pretty boring and I knew what to expect, I knew when a tragic thing would happen. If you are wondering how I knew what has was going to happen well it was just pretty obvious what was going to happen or I have psycho powers. The thing I liked about the movie was the graphics they were amazing. The camera's were everywhere, on the bombs, planes and in explosions. Also the planes and ships look very real, they probely are. The best thing about it was the fighting it is like Saving Private Ryan, the fighting looks very scary and it looks very real. The movie is set in a made-up Pearl Harbor and it looks very real. It is also set in Britain and Japen. It is about two best friends who grow up to be fighter pilots... Read review

Advantages: Nice Loos!
Disadvantages: An oyster must die to gain the pearl.

..., there are considerable savings to be made, thus opening up the possibility of treating yourself to a spectacular 'once in a lifetime' piece of jewellery. (This is something I like to do).

Advantages: easy to hit from any distance and looks stunning
Disadvantages: amount of bounce on some options makes the club less versataile

...This is a fantastic wedge, suitable for any skill level of player especially for the more inconsistent of us due to the positioning of the weight in the club head. This wedge is especially good in my eyes due to its anti glare 'black pearl' finish which looks great and doesn't rust. The design of the sole of the club makes it harder to hit 'fat' as the bounce stops the club from digging in and allows more better mishits that the average wedge. I also got great feel and a lot of spin with this wedge, especially from sand adn deep rough!!! The standard shaft and grip come with the quality you would expect from a Cleveland wedge and match the well designed clubhead that sits very well behind the ball. A problem i did have with my version of this wedge is that although a lot of bounce made it easier to get out of bunkers and long grass... Read review

Advantages: It works
Disadvantages: It's painful for the pocket

...of hard to swirl the solution around for a full 30 seconds when I feel like I'm gargling acid. So lucky me, there was a promotion on Dentyl pH - buy one get one free. I normally wouldn't even look at it as it's really pricey but since it's a good buy and I've been told that it works, thought I might give it a shot. Dentyl comes in a 500ml bottle shaped a little like laboratory Erlenmeyer flask and there are two flavours - smooth mint and clove (I didn't dare take a chance on clove, sounds a teeny bit gross). The solution separates into two parts - an aquamarine blue floating on a mossy green. Instructions said to shake the bottle vigorously to mix them up, half fill the cap (about 15ml), swirl it around your mouth for 30 seconds and gargle for an additional 30 seconds. What it does is it attracts and lifts the bacteria and foreign bits so... Read review

Advantages: Shelved area
Disadvantages: None

...This really is the creme de la creme of baby top'n' tail bowls. It holds the perfect amount of water- enough to comfortably bathe your baby. What I really like is the flat shelf piece inbetween the two bowl sections; not many top 'n' tail bowls have this and it means if you are using cotton wool to clean your baby you can kep it dry until you're ready to use it. Also, once you've used your cotton wool, you can put it on the shelf piece so it's not left floating around in the water- this also means you're not trying to hold your baby and lean over to the bin at the same time. I can't think of anything bad to say about this product.... Read review

Advantages: Lasts for ever (well a long time!!), packaging
Disadvantages: You become an addict to the product!!

...in the day you can just cover it by patting some on in the area. You can use Dr. Feelgood on its own or on top of your other ordinary makeup because it’s colourless!! They say the product is odourless but to me it has a kind of soapy, maybe even has a lemony fragrance? It comes in the obligatory Benefit packaging – so sexy you just want to show it off to everyone! The tin is fantastic as unlike other cosmetics which can come undone in your bag (e.g. lip gloss leakages, bronzing pearls floating about staining everything in sight) and get everywhere it has always stayed closed and thus not got ruined itself or my handbags! Also with it you get a really nice applicator sponge which is washable – I think very handy!!. Dr. Feelgood retails at around £19 but I think I bought it when Debenhams had a 10% off thing – sneaky hehehe. Although it used... Read review
