Airwaves - Gordon Giltrap

"Gordon's Alive?"

Advantages: Brian Blessed's in it shouting "DIVE" alot! And it's got the best soundtrack to a film... ever!
Disadvantages: Maybe to camp and colourful for some. Avoid if you lack a sense of humour or are looking for something high-brow.

FLASH GORDON "Flash - a-ah - saviour of the universe. Flash - a-ah - he'll save every one of us." Or so the Queen soundtrack goes over the comic-book enriched title credits (something Spiderman 2 would later borrow). It serves to get the audience's toes immediately tapping in anticipation for the film to begin outright and, for some bizarre reason, coupled with the spandex pants, phallic shaped spaceships, an over-developed sense for bright, garish colours and Brian Blessed shouting "DIVE" to his birdman hordes whenever he gets the chance, Flash Gordon comes across as a deliriously brilliant, camp piece of outrageous space opera cinematics. Indeed, with these hallmarks, it's impossible to imagine a movie that's more innocently entertaining (only Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure seems to usurp Flash Gordon to such a title ...

Review of Flash Gordon (DVD)

Surfing the Airwaves

Advantages: Good flavour, inexpensive
Disadvantages: Flavour doesn't last long enough

Do your friends (assuming you have any) refer to you as dog-breath? I know mine don't. So what can you do about it? I'd say get new friends, but failing that, get your breath freshed up, hal. Of course, bad breath isn't always solved by simply brushing your teeth and swallowing great big handfuls of mince....sorry, mints. And as this op isn't about some sort of solution to the problem of halitosis, I'll quickly changed the tack (not tic-tac) and get closer to the point...... Do you like to have fresh breath? Do you like a fresh and pleasant taste in your mouth? What about breathing clearly and cleanly, you like that too, right? Well, instead of popping any of that nasty, disgusting 'Thin Ice' garbage, why not do as I do and chew on some Airwaves chewing gum instead. AIRWAVES come in four flavours, which are: Menthol ...

Review of Wrigley's Airwaves Chewing Gum

Slow and steady...Gordons Sloe GIN...

Advantages: Taste's sweet, refreshing, very moreish.
Disadvantages: very moreish...lol

Gin is Gin right ? WRONG !! Recently I was introduced by a friend to Gordon's sloe gin, something I have never come across though brings to mind the Flavoured Absolut vodkas which are also really nice. It's the same kind of thing but Gin. I gave it a try (nope it didn't take much persuasion I like my spirits) and well - it's a really GREAT drink. The bottle is same as your regular screw top Gordon's Gin bottle but clear not green, the gin itself is a pretty deep-purple-red berry colour though still a clear spirit, not cloudy.. There is a faint pleasant smell of fruitiness along with the normal 'gin' smell, yes I always smell drinks before drinking?..still gin taste but there's also the definite fruity flavour of berries, it's sweet with a nice aftertaste?a bit moreish All this yummy tastiness is down to the sloe berries ...
