Swarb (Forty Five Years Of Folk's Finest Fiddler) - Dave Swarbrick

Dave

Advantages: Full of entertaining shows...
Disadvantages: ...full of repeats

Of course, it's the wonderful 'Dave'...the artist formerly known as UKTV G2. Not exactly the most exciting of sounding television channels, so they glamourised it...by called it 'Dave'...because everyone knows a Dave. The concept of the channel is simply a station airing predominantly repeats of entertainment and comedy shows. It doesn't air 24-hours a day, instead it tends to broadcast until approximately 3am each night, and then restarts at 7am, with a bit of mind-boggling Teleshopping thrown in there for good measure. But what does it show? Well during the day it plays repeats of entertainment shows such as Top Gear, Ray Mear's Extreme Survival, Trawlermen, Traffic Cops and Fifth Gear; all seemingly quite 'manly' shows aimed at blokes called 'Dave' presumably... As the day's schedule moves on it tends to focus ...

Review of Dave

Forty Years On and The Caterpillar is STILL hungry!

Advantages: A timeless classic that your child will enjoy time and time again.
Disadvantages: You may have to read this story so many times it will become permanently imprinted in your brain.

No children's book collection is complete without the classic The Very Hungry Caterpillar This book was written 40 years ago by Eric Carle and has been a favourite of many children including myself when I was younger. The book comes in several different formats, I decided the board book would be the best option as my little boy gets quite excited and likes to help turn the pages; he also enjoys looking at his books alone. I ordered the book from Amazon and at the time of purchase it was £2.99 which is an excellent price the RRP for the book is £5.99 however it can be picked up for a lot less than that. This particular version of the book is recommended for babies from 9 months to 2 years. The book has nice sturdy white glossy pages with rounded corners, Perfect for eager little hands! The story is very simple and I'm sure there ...

Review of The Very Hungry Caterpillar - Eric Carle

Going like a Fiddlers Elbow

Advantages: A good thirst quencher
Disadvantages: Not the best from this brewery

I'm a big fan of Wychwood beers, as anyone reading some of my reviews will soon notice. The trouble is, they keep bringing out different specials each month and there's only so much beer I can drink. One beer that isn't a special though is FIDDLERS ELBOW. WYCHWOOD BREWERY started life back in 1983 as a one-man business producing 8 to 10 barrels per week. As demand grew, a larger operation was set up on the site of an older brewery, which dated back to 1839. The Brewery now produces 30,000 barrels a year. Wychwood uses local water from the river Windrush, English malt, hops and yeast. No additives are used, and over the years the brewery has received various awards, mainly from the branches of CAMRA (the Campaign for Real Ale). Many of Wychwood's beers are extensively available across the UK in bottles and it is even ...
