Advantages: Good, solid intro to the band, heavy rock at its finest. Disadvantages: Bit of a 'quiet' production.
This band don't just 'rock,' they ''wrowkk!''
I still have vivid memories of waking one Christmas morn to see that the big white bearded guy in the red outfit had left me this album in my Christmas stocking, along with another ''Rush'' album, 'All the world's a Stage.' I must admit that at the time I was more impressed with the latter of the two. I found 'Caress of Steel' a big fat disappointment. I had heard the opening track before and loved it, but the rest just seemed a bit lame.
Before I continue, I will just say a few words about Rush because there are always going to be people out there who wonder, ''Rush''? Who the heck are they then?' They were formed in Toronto in 1969 by Geddy Lee on Bass, Alex Lifeson on Guitars and John Rutsey on Drums. They started life as Led Zeppelin wannabes but soon developed their own sound ...
Advantages: Fabulous story excellently told Disadvantages: None
what was related to what, as the author kept the cards firmly against his chest. As a result I had to read more to see what was going to happen and learn the truth.
Some of the excellent links I did not anticipate at all. I could not see how his family were really involved with the Steel Witches and what had happened during the war that was so important. There was so much to enjoy, take in and digest in the story, but at the same time because it was well told and laid out you never got lost at all.

Advantages: Neg's Urban Sports Disadvantages: Mark Dolan, The Annoying Devil amongst others.
Balls Of Steel is a somewhat controversial TV comedy show which was broadcast on Channel 4 in the UK and was presented by Mark Dolan. To date there has been three series.
The idea of this show is that the 'acts' perform pranks or stunts on the unsuspecting public (and occassionally celebrities) infront of hidden cameras and, at the end of the show, the studio audience choose who has the biggest 'balls of steel' (who was the bravest).
I personally found this very hit and miss. Some of the sketches were hilarious whereas others were dull and even annoying.
I particularly like 'Neg's Urban Sports'. This consists of the lead character, Neg, creating a different Urban Sport based loosely on an actual sport. 'Burger Bowl Off' and 'Urban Sprinting' have been the best of the lot. In 'Burger Bowl Off' Neg orders a large amount of fast food ...
