Gum Tree Canoe - John Hartford

Texturising Gum,

Advantages: not greasy, easy to style
Disadvantages: none really

I don?t normally do reviews on hair or cosmetic products but as this is something i use quite a lot in my hair then i thought id do one on it. Firstly this is quite cheap, i picked up a tub of this for less than a pound a while ago and its lasted me ages. Its very simple and easy to use too. You just rub a small amount into your fingers, a peanut sized amount should do, but perhaps less if you have shorter hair. The key to this is is use as little as possible to get the effect as then it doesn?t look greasy or like you have too much product in. The gum works really easily into the hair and its easy to distribute evenly as its not too thick, yet still quite firm in texture. When added, if you have shorter hair, then its easy to stick bits up, however longer hair just adds texture and you may have to use another product if you ...

Review of Brylcreem b: Texturising Gum

Trouble gum

Advantages: Nice sour flavour
Disadvantages: So bad for your teeth, artificial.

I am someone who likes to fidget and do something, and I often find that chewing gum is a good outlet for that. Today I was buying a magazine in my college shop (no more exams, ha ha!!) and at the counter, I decided on an impulse buy (ahhh capitalism working on me!) and I picked up a packet of Hubba Bubba bubble gum. The packet was 9cm long, and I thought, good good, nice lot of bubble gum to keep me going! I paid 30p for my packet, picked up my magazine and headed out the shop and proceeded to attack the packet to get to the bubble gum? But what disappointment, I realised that the packet only had 5 pieces in!!!! How scabby! Each piece is 2.5cm by 2cm, and that?s how the packet looks like it gives you a lot more than it actually does!! Hmph. The particular version I had was the Hubba Bubba Max, and has very distinctive packaging ...

Review of Hubba Bubba Bubble Gum

CanoScan LiDE 100 - I Love My LiDE

Advantages: Fabulous quality for scanned documents, both colour and B&W
Disadvantages: Somewhat slow when scanning at highest resolutions

I bought my CanoScan Lide100 for home use earlier this year (2009) after having used the CanoScan Lide 25 at work for 3 years or so. Having used it for several months now, I thought it was time I shared my views on how it fares as a flatbed scanner. Anyone who really knows me will know that I'm obsessed with taking photos and have 1000s of digital photos stored online and I really wanted to scan in my old photos pre-digital era and wanted a decent scanner mainly for this reason. WHAT IS IT? The LiDE is a lightweight flatbed scanner, i.e. a device that can optically scan text or images when the original document is placed on the glass platen. If you?ve never used a scanner before, imagine photocopying a sheet of paper or photo but instead of the photocopy coming out on a physical sheet of paper, it comes up on your PC as ...
