Mark Forsyth e book, The Etymologicon: A Circular Stroll through the Hidden.. £1.09

Image
By Thomas Cunliffe TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on 2 Dec. 2011 Format: Hardcover Like many people I am mildly interested in where words come from and I've occasionally read books like David Crystal's By Hook Or By Crook: A Journey in Search of English which looks at where English place-names come from. Unless books like these are skilfully written they can quickly become tedious and its usually best to get this sort of information in smallers chunk from newspapers or magazines. Mark Forsyth publishes the Inky Fool blog in which he looks at the derivation of words, but links one to another in a humorous ramble through the English language. Mark is one of those lucky bloggers who's blog has now become a book, The Etymologicon, and I have to say, it makes for a very good read which I've been dipping into over the last week. Its probably better to illustrate Mark's methods with an example than to describe them. For example, in a chapter headed A Game of

Deal of the Day: £74.99 & FREE Delivery in the UK By Mr. R. J. Kembry on 30 Dec. 2015 I will add to this review at a later date but I hope this helps some customers to make a decision about which satnav to purchase. Firstly about this model Tom Tom Start 25M Pros 1. Comes with free map updates 2. Traditional TomTom menu system which most people are used to 3. Simple menu system works well on this good quality resistive screen 4. Excellent screen contrast and clarity 5. Has TomTom IQ Routes 6. Can easily highlight a piece of road on the map and then press “Travel Via” which causes the Tomtom to include that section of the road when planning its rout. You can do this without having to pre-program a stop or waypoint etc 7. Learns from your preferred route inputs so it takes you that way in future by default 8. 3D navigation allows you to see further into the distance and you can see horizon making navigation easier and more predictable.

What this device does, it does well. Possible improvements: 1. only one device can wirelssly connect to this at a time. if said device is off or out of range, it becomes available to other devices, but if you want to play something while your wif is watching tv, then you have to get her phone and turn her BT off to connect to the speaker. bit of a first world problem i know. 2. The volume control should be linked to the phones volume control, in the same way it is on most wireless headphones. review P.

I'm a big fan of the Logitech K400 having had one for a few years now. It's well built and convenient to just pick up and use however you wish. So when I saw the newer K400 Plus on offer I thought I'd pick one up to use on another PC/TV setup. So these are my thoughts compared to the original K400 which is still on sale at the time of posting this. At the back of the keyboard there's a raised section which serves as a battery compartment/stand but also sits comfortably in your hands when you hold it meaning you don't really have to grip it to keep hold of it. However Logitech has lowered the trackpad and made the buttons smaller compared to the original K400. So when holding the keyboard in its normal position you do have to stretch a little more (at least with my average sized hands) to reach the mouse buttons. It's still usable but not as comfortable. Logitech have done this to make room for dedicated volume control buttons, which could have bee

Perfect feeding chair Chicco Pocket Snack Booster Seat Mandarino Open Box £18.99

Image
I always read the negative reviews as well as the positive ones. For this product the negative reviews were, almost exclusively, concerned with the seat's instability and tendency to tip over (with the child in it) when used free-standing on the floor. This is a booster seat which means it is to be fitted to a full sized dining room chair using the straps provided (the clue is in the name). The manufacturer indicates that is NOT intended for use on the floor and, if you examine the footprint of the 'legs' this should be obvious. The manufacturers include an instruction leaflet in several languages and the written part runs to only two pages in English. There are however plenty of pictorial instructions which should leave the user in no doubt about how to fix it safely to a chair and, of course, children should never be left unattended it such a piece of equipment anyway. The product arrived in good time and well packaged, met with my granddaughter's

Need Batteries portable 10000mAh, range of 15 Pound support I phone, samsung, other.. Superb power bank, Possibly the best 10000mAh portable charger available.

Image
I brought the Anker PowerCore 10000 Portable charger to keep my phone topped up between overnight charges, due to a certain game which requires you to catch them all but makes this difficult by eating though battery life faster than Usain Bolt does the 100m. Since my partner plays this game as well i also brought the Aukey Quick Charge 2.0 (10400mAh) so can directly compare the two. Size - it really is one of the smallest portable chargers i've seen - especially given its 10000mAh rating. It is smaller than the Aukey, not by much but it is noticeable. In fact it is smaller than a lot of portable chargers half its capacity. True credit to Anker for fitting so much into so little here. Construction - Build quality feels solid however it does seem to mark easily. However it comes with a protective drawstring pouch so if you use it you can avoid this and keep it looking new. The Aukey seems well built too and does seem to hold up against scuffs and marks better t

  Deal Price: £34.99 & FREE Delivery in the UK. I have been using my Fire tablet for a couple of months now and really like it. Whilst many of the features can be found on any android tablet, there are some features specific to the Fire that are really nifty. I love the blue shade feature; I don't know whether it significantly reduces the amount of blue light or not but I have found that reading using the blue shade doesn't hurt my eyes as much as reading a "normal" backlit screen and I felt a bit happier reading a bedtime story to my son using the kindle app on the Fire last night (when he decided that none of his book were good enough and he "must" have a Paw Patrol story.) Another useful feature with children is the "Fire for Kids" app which allows children to look at age appropriate content without accidentally opening other a

Harmony Black is a morning person. She always wears business suits when working and prefers Diet Coke. She is also a witch, who uses her power to protect the innocent from supernatural threats. I am not a morning person and I’m definitely not a witch, yet despite this I relate to Harmony.
