Henry The Human Fly [Remastered] - Richard Thompson

Reproduction (Re-Mastered) The Human League

Advantages: interesting very very interesting
Disadvantages: too "interesting" in places

If i could start by saying thet the babies being stamped on by anonymous stilletoes on the front cover are not real ones ,but it does grab your visual attention ,and if you are open minded enough to allow a band its "early period"then "Reproduction"can be a very rewarding experience ,there is little in the way of hits or even pop,but if curiosity gets the better of you after glancing at the cover then buy a ticket and jump on . This is the sound of the suburbs ,the suburbs of Shefield in or around 1978,at this point The Human League consisted of four blokes ,a couple of synthsisers and a slide projector and a warehouse load of ideas and concepts,none of them remotely linked to each other ,and giving the overall effect of a band not playing what they wanted but what they could manage ,and thats where the magic starts .

Review of Reproduction [Remastered] - Human League (The)

Henry the cleaner . . .

Advantages: Suction is brilliant.
Disadvantages: Looks are a little industrial.

. . . This review is on the very robust Henry Numatic model HVR 200. You will know it as soon as you see it as it has a smiley face, and comes in four colours, red green blue & yellow, well now they have added another to the range - PINK!!! Technically this one is called HETTY, but it is identical otherwise. The shape is cylindrical, but not laid down, it is upright, like an oil drum, and has a buffer ring surrounding it, which does not mark walls. It is mounted on castors, and so is easy to move about. As for the suction, I can only say it is brilliant, the cable is wound up neatly in it's own drum, all tools are there, the machine itself is light enough to be carried up the stairs, what more could you want in a cleaner? There is of course a down side, but not much of one, for instance it is not easy to vacuum the stairs as ...

Review of Numatic HVR 200 Henry

The Fortunes of Richard Mahony

Advantages: Perhaps the greatest Australian novel ever written
Disadvantages: Perhaps the most depressing novel ever written

and Lawrence; Wolfe and Forster of course; Elliot and Hardy. On average, I read perhaps almost a novel a day, every day for thirty years: perhaps, some five thousand or so novels in all. Inevitably, there came a day when I began to stop. I had run out of steam. As Logan Pearsall Smith wrote: ?People say that life is the thing, but I prefer reading.? I too had preferred reading but now, rarely did I ever come across anything out of the ordinary. I turned instead to non-fiction - books about medicine; on exercise physiology; on Greek philosophy. Then in my mid-forties, (I can't now recall the circumstances), I read ?The Fortunes of Richard Mahony? published in three parts over eighteen years, written by Henry Handel Richardson, the pen name of Ethel Florence Lindesay Richardson born in Melbourne (3 January 1870 ? 20 March 1946), the daughter ...
