Cheap At Half The Price - Fred Frith

Advantages: Cheap, Only A pound
Disadvantages: Shoddy goods available

...There are several pound shops which have sprung up over the last few years, Personally I think they are a great thing. I can?t believe some of the things you can get for only a pound. I have bought several things from this shop over the last couple of years, including sweets, chocolate, metal working files, screwdrivers, sandpaper, CD cases, scissors, knives, craft tools, diaries, pens, pencils, CDs, and even a feather duster, all for a pound each. You can get a set of six screwdrivers for a pound which I think is unbelievable, how you can produce a set of tools for that price I do not know. However be warned most of the tools you buy from this kind of shop are not of a professional quality, well unfortunately, what do you expect for a pound.

Advantages: shiney, soft hair
Disadvantages: none so far

...'t greasey feeling which you sometimes get from a 2 in one shampoo and conditioner, but looks and smells good.

I think at the price I paid I got a good deal as I'm satisfied with the results, although this is not my regular shampoo I do think it has done a good job and if it's stil on offer... Read review

Advantages: Some funny moments.
Disadvantages: Not enough funny moments because of the sloppy writing.

...Did you know Santa Claus had a brother? A big brother named Fred to be precise. But Fred has always lived in the shadow of his younger sibling who would grow up to be the very model of giving. Fred has gone the other way and makes his living as a repo man. But when he finds himself in jail, the only one that can bail him out is Nick. And he does so on the understanding that his big brother will work at the North Pole in the run-up to Christmas. So Fred heads north where his rabble-rousing ways jeopardise Santa's workshop as a nasty bureaucrat is looking for a reason to shut it down. As director David Dobkin previously helmed "Wedding Crashers" I was expecting something sharper than your usual family Christmas movie. But this film wasn't all I hoped. It's fine when Vince Vaughn is being allowed to run off at the mouth, but the rest... Read review
