Advantages: Looks good, works well, not expensive Disadvantages: None for us
Just when I thought I had just about finished all the pre Christmas expenditure our kettle decided enough was enough and it committed suicide! So today we went in search of a replacement.
We started in Curry?s and then on to Comet to take a look at what kettles there were on the market ? then we moved on to Argos to make our purchase.
The one that we chose was the Philips Energy Efficient Kettle HD4644 in white and it cost £24.49. I appreciate that we may well have gotthis cheaper on the internet but we needed a new kettle straight away so it was a case of needs must!
It comes in a smart, sturdy box ? ideal for easy wrapping if you are buying it as a present ? with a picture of the kettle on the back and the front.
On one side of the box there are various pictures showing the different attributes of the kettle and the other ...

You know, there's only so long you can watch somebody being beaten, whipped, flogged, kicked, slapped, punched, scarred, stabbed and mutilated before you start to feel distinctly uneasy about the whole thing. But maybe I'm just being a wimp. If that kind of thing is your bag, then The Passion of the Christ will certainly hit the spot. Telling the story of the last twenty-four hours of Jesus' life, this film is perhaps the most relentlessly violent I have ever seen. And I don't mean in a gung-ho, wahey, bring on the slaughter, Arnie kind of way. More of a 'bloody hell, can't we put The Muppet's Christmas Carol on instead' kind of way. After lulling us in gently with maybe fifteen minutes of staid conversation and howling at the heavens, it all kicks off, and we're treated to a good hour and a half of Mr Christ getting seven bells knocked ...
Advantages: Good Acting, Disadvantages: Quite Barbaric In Places
its release. Much of this involved the way that this film portrayed the Jews. Where other films have portrayed the Romans as the sole perpetrators of Christ's death here the Jews are also shown as playing a part. In particular the role that is portrayed by the Jewish high Priests is far from favourable.
It is possibly somewhat ironic that the Romans on the other hand are portrayed in a slightly better light, and in particular we see Pontius Pilate depicted as a man with real emotions who tries to save Jesus from being sentenced to death, but in the end he is powerless to prevent the inevitable from happening.
One of my biggest concerns regarding the subtitles quickly disappeared since after a few minutes you almost forget that they are there. The spoken dialogue actually helps to give the scenes a more authentic feel with Latin spoken ...
