Dis-Advantages Of You, The/The Now Sound Of The Brass Ring - Brass Ring (The)

Advantages: Quick security, cheap, effective.
Disadvantages: Can be cut.

.... . You can get this type of lock almost anywhere, and pay peanuts, or shell out forty Pounds or more. Take your choice, and buy what you need. Basically, you really do get what you pay for. You can buy via mail order or go online, but brass is heavy, and some firms charge a lot more than the true postage price, also the same applies to the cost of packaging. Padlocks are sold as various types, and these are classed as "long shackle" ones, this means they will fit ordinary hasps & staples, as well as other difficult items like chains etc. My experience of using them is on my old Navy kitbag, These locks are difficult to break into, but not impossible. You normally unlock them with a key, which is more awkward than a mortise lock for instance. The locks are made for practical purposes, so are not designed to look pleasing to... Read review

Advantages: No rust, will last a lifetime.
Disadvantages: Price.

...makes it a bargain. Being brass, there is no rust to worry about either. It is fitted with the usual quick release coupling, and apart from replacing an "O" ring every few years, it is a fit and forget job, no need for even a service. For those trying to get some sleep, these fittings weigh 125 grammes, and will produce a good solid jet, a fine spray, or turn off. The nozzles are easy to connect and disconnect, and are equally easy to operate. These Rehau products are available at many places, I would have thought your first port of call would be the larger DIY Superstores.You can also buy from the likes of Amazon etc. Sorry if the review was a little short, please feel free to rate accordingly, OR write a better one!!! Hmmm, I enjoyed that! Hum-ti Hum-ti Hum.... Read review

Advantages: Some catchy numbers, Hysni Zela's vocals
Disadvantages: Not all wedding music, not enough Hysni Zela, over-produced

.... While the Eastern European/Jewish klezmer music traditional includes both sad and happy wedding songs, Fanfara Tirana seem to have let some "not wedding songs at all" stray onto the tracklist. The intensely sad bagpipe-like sounds of the truly evocative "Apocalyptic kaba" is one such track. The highlight of this album is the wonderfully catchy "Cokollota" (Chocolate) in which the brass instruments create a very eastern sound while the rhythm produces something toe-tapping compelling. This is exactly what I would imagine of upbeat Albanian wedding music and it really is the sort of tune that would have everyone at the dance-floor at a wedding anywhere in the world. "Kaprolla" (The Fawn") starts with a very Turkish sounding vocal and soon moves into a rousing and increasingly fast moving song which is another toe-tapper but perhaps not... Read review
