Battle Hymns For A New Republic - Plate Six

The Battle of the Plate

Advantages: Sticks like glue - for a while, comfortable gums
Disadvantages: Horrible sensation if you overuse it

I have lived in an uneasy truce with my teeth and a long succession of dentists for more years than I care to remember. I do recall the unhappy start of my dental saga shortly before taking my ?O?-level biology examination papers. I developed a raging toothache which was diagnosed as an apical abscess which failed to settle after an emergency root canal clearance. An extraction of the upper right two soon followed. Being of that age and aptitude the provided single tooth plate was soon ignored and consigned to the bin. Nothing much happened until I went to University. Those were the days when trials of the first electric toothbrushes were all the rage and students were targeted as good prospects for a free kit and toothpaste. As a further inducement, the local dental hospital enrolled us into ?teaching programmes? where you got free ...

Review of Fixodent Denture Adhesive Cream

There's No Charge for the Haircut...

Advantages: Classic old-school heavy metal songs on more diverse topics than the band usually covers.
Disadvantages: Weak and simplistic compared to the second album and others, due to temporary line-up.

Manowar's debut is widely regarded as a classic of early 80s heavy metal before the spawning of 'false metal' glam acts, as well as Manowar's own increasing movement towards self-parody, robbed the genre of its credibility. That's not to say that 'Battle Hymns,' for all its legacy, is an entirely sombre and sinister affair, featuring the band's usual ridiculous lyrics on numerous themes from bikes to heavy metal to ancient battles, but sung over music that remains true to the spirit and sound of early, simplistic metal without any of the pompous excess that would later turn the band into a laughing stock. Collecting most of the songs recorded by the band in the previous two years, 'Battle Hymns' is something of a mixed bag with songs heading in often wildly different directions, the earlier pieces tending more towards a party ...

Review of Battle Hymns - Manowar

Six little crumpets on my plate

Advantages: delicious, cheap
Disadvantages: some Es and I don't mean your rating

One morning we had no bread or buns at home so I asked my hubby to buy a bread in Sainsbury?s. It is 3 minutes away from us on foot. I like when he is doing the shopping because he brings a lot of yummy things I would never buy. That day he brought a pack of Warburtons Crumpets. I have never seen and taste them before. How could this happen? Well, I live in UK only since May 2009, so there are a lot of new products I haven?t seen and tried yet. My hubby suggested that he will make the breakfast. I was treated very well. This happens only a few times a year so I really appreciated. Price and package As Crumpets are good only for a few days you can often see them on offer in Sainsbury?s. Its full price is 0.74 pounds, when it is on offer usually they sell two packs for one pound but I have seen a pack for 20 pence as well. It comes in ...
