Bernstein, L: Overture: Fancy Free

My First Overture

Advantages: Looks, Cooling, Build Quality, Design
Disadvantages: Price, Size, Noise

Murdoch a subscription fee! Not to mention the ability to play all my MP3s in the stereo in the lounge, my own never-ending jukebox that doesn't need the CD changing - ever. Now there are some important points to consider when building a PC for the lounge. First off, it's got to look the part or LegendaryMrsDude will have it up in the loft in no time - on a charge of "looking untidy". This means that it's got to blend in with all the other bits & pieces under the telly, which invariable means either black or silver finish. The Overture II scores well here, being both "piano black" gloss AND silver (on the front panel). Being approximately the same size as a standard amplifier, it also maintains reasonable proportions and doesn't look too out of place. Secondly, it's got to be quiet. At least quiet enough that you can't hear it when the TV ...

Review of Antec LifeStyle Overture II-UK

Fond of this Fancy

Advantages: cute
Disadvantages: retired

TY Beanies are adorable, there is no wonder my friends and I were crazy for these little soft toys. The TY beanies came in all sorts of varieties, whether animal or bear. They each had their own special name, and between us, my friends and I owned and could name pretty much every one going! One of the teddies is a cat who goes by the name of Fancy. Straight away, this name seems very appropriate to me. She definitely does look quite fancy, a posh kitty indeed. But it's her fur that makes connections for me. She is made of a very soft, almost silky, clean white fur. This reminds me slightly of the cream you get in Fondant Fancies, so naturally I could make a connection with her name straight away. Around Fancy's neck there is a little pink ribbin, which is made of a lace like material. She has gorgeous blue eyes and pink whiskers, a very ...

Review of TY Fancy the Cat

Fancy that Fancie?

Advantages: Cute, pefectly sized, soft and moorish
Disadvantages: Unequal amount of each flavour per box; they should all have different flavoured icing;

I have always loved Mr Kipling French Fancies though I myself have always had a habit of calling them 'Fondant Fancies' but it's the same thing really since they are basically small square vanilla sponge cakes covered in a thick fondant icing in either brown, yellow or pink. There is something quite enduring and 'child-like' about French Fancies. Perhaps it's because they look so cute. They normally come as a box of 8, covered over in a cellophane wrapper. Each cake is a 3cm by 3cm square and 3.5 cm tall (including the little 'blob' top) and encased in a little paper muffin case. On the top of each cake is a small bump from where the vanilla butter cream lies beneath. In a box of 8, you always get 3 pink, 3 brown and 2 yellow. The Pink ones are drizzled with white lines and the brown and yellow ones are drizzled in a darker brown ...
