Your Hammer To My Enemy - An Early Cascade

Advantages: Great, hardcore, and definitive.
Disadvantages: Couple of weak links.

...of my fave's. Not that I pretend to understand all that they rap about or have experienced, of course I can't. I just love the rawness of their stuff, to me they are the black American equivalent of what the Sex Pistols were here. Irreverant, anarchic, and bloomin' great. The CD: 18 tracks, and you can pick this CD up for around £6 now, that is value in itself. There is a very neat booklet in the CD which covers some of PE background. Track 1. You're gonna get yours. Quite a busy opening, lot's of background 'noise'; guns, scratching, heavy funk beat. Serious 'old style' rapping with a kinda Cypress Hill feel about it. Not the best track in my opinion, in reality a song about a car! 6/10. Track 2. Public Enemey No 1. Track starts with a bit of a 'skit' rap, and a nice 70's funk electro backing, then breaks into a nice lyrical rap... Read review

Advantages: A return to form for Brookmyre
Disadvantages: Starting to wonder how long he can plug away at this genre

...through their initial team building, taking part in paintballing and some gruelling hikes. This allows the characters of his fellows to be explored, including a pre-madonna chef, a self-effacing Laird, an Edinburgh marketing executive and a couple of ex-leftie extremists. Fans of Tim Vale from Brookmyre?s previous books will be glad to know he appears. Suddenly, the half heartedness of the exercises vanishes as some of the bullets that are being fired turn out not to be paint pellets and the novel properly kicks off in outrageous style. The character?s perceptions of what is real or not are thoroughly tested and it becomes vital to know your enemy. And you have some headless corpses to look forward to?. Did I Like It? Putting my intellectual hat on, I guess its kind of simple fare. Some off-jokes, some action and some... Read review

Advantages: Cleans your teeth very well
Disadvantages: Has a slightly salty taste

...Ive been using Arm & Hammer toothpaste for many years now. It is an American brand Made by Church and Dwight Co. Inc of Princton NJ. The major differance between this and other brands is that it uses baking soda to assist in the cleaning process I normally use the Freshmint version. However last time i went to get some there was none left. There was the Original Coolmint sitting there though. I thought why not. I paid my £1.88 for a 100 ml tube, left Boots and took it home. The main diffrence i noticed at first was the packaging. The Freshmint version is green and white with a red Arm & Hammer logo. This Original Coolmint packaging is the same design but in blue and white. Placing a little on my toothbrush, I start brushing. It has a slightly granular taste very minty and has a tingling sensation on my tongue. It froths up... Read review
