Swan ST70100 Toaster Review

The Swan ST70100 Toaster is available in a range of colours to suit most kitchen décors and currently available singly for £25, the 2 slice toaster and a kettle for £45 or a 4 slice toaster and kettle for £55. With my latest purchase of classy kettle this was my 'free' toaster. Now I know I could have bought them separately in chrome for £10 less, but I'd be kicking myself if I missed out on my favourite blue!

Valentines Day 2014 Commercial or Cute

Ah the commercial annual  event design to strike fear in the hearts of all and the pockets of many. Who would have believed that the death of a future Saint; condemned for consecrating forbidden marriages and tending to persecuted Christian's, would have ever become such a commercial money spinner.

Swan SK13110 Kettle Review

The Swan SK13110 kettle is available in a range of colours to suit most kitchen décors and currently available singly for £19.99, with a 2 slice toaster for £45 or with a 4 slice toaster for £55. When my emergency (bought in a tea deprived panic), kettle sprung a sizeable leak, I decided that I would have to fork out more than my  usual £10. My love of 'kitchen blue' mean that my choices were limited, but the reviews seemed good so it was worth the risk.

Casecom CL-86 Case Controller Review

Is bigger better or just this years fashion craze? I gave up following the trends and watched from afar as gadgets and technology shrunk and expanded with the seasons. Whilst choosing a full sized computer case may seem like the last vestige of spacial luxury (or a mid 30's gentleman residing in the basement of his parental abode), there is a time and a place when nothing but the largest will suffice.

The Controller has long been a fan of overclocking (and generally filling his section of the house with assorted 'necessary' objects), and any in a similar position will understand the requirements to house such an obtuse beast (the computer, not The Controller!). Whether you opt for a massive air cooler, water cooling or simply need extra space for cable tidying and multiple graphics cards, there always seems a complaint with standard cases. Believe me when I say I think I have heard all of them, and the search for a reasonably priced case with massive stature was long over due.

ENDED [Celebration Competition For 5 Free Steam Games]

To celebrate my first year and passing the amazing milestone of 20,000 views I've decided to run my very first competition (so go easy on me!). I'm using Rafflecopter and I think I've managed to cover most of the social media outlets, if you have a different preference or any other suggestions, let me know for next time and I'll do my best to accommodate.

Slim Fit Crew Neck 3/4 Sleeve Top

Now who amongst us doesn't love a bargain? The January sales might start in November but they still provide a proving ground for those smart enough to bulk buy classic clothes. This time has been no exception for me, and yes I'm still grinning about my last haul!

At a mere £6 from the South range at Very.co.uk (and £3 in the current post Xmas sales!),  this longer line t-shirt has been a staple of my work wardrobe for a while. Practical and hard wearing, the colour hasn't ran or faded at all. The sleeves make it suitable for the brisker days, to layer with shirts or cardigans, and the actual fabric is light enough for it to last into Summer (or a well heated office!).

Sherlock Downgraded To Drivel?

I am a massive fan of the new  Sherlock series and everyone's fascination with something so piously British. My only complaints up until now had been that the series simply wasn't long enough. Now given the actors work commitments ( The Hobbit, Star Trek etc) and the writer Steven Moffat's 'other baby' Doctor Who, it was great to get a series this year at all. However the whole thing felt like such a drastic departure from the previous two seasons, that I was actually left wondering why they bothered.

Call of Duty Ghosts Extinction ~ The Watcher

Imagine the franchise loving gamers frustration when Treyarch and Infinity Ward decided to go their separate ways. There was a small consolation of the companies taking turn about to exploit the gamers wallets with further renditions, but zombies was to be regulated to every second year. The lack of Zombie maps sent shock waves (well mild tremors), through the gaming scene. Well no more will there be a sense of a crucial 'something' missing. Infinity Ward has delightfully saw fit to take survival map to a new level with aliens. About time as far as I was concerned! I loved the first foray into zombies, but the follow ups seemed too tied up in their own glory, for me it lost its watch-ability and for some the playability.

New Year 2014 Resolutions

New Year ... New You, every year its the same trite lists of excuses and promises. Lists of New Year Resolutions composed by insecure people who believe they are in need of a lifestyle change. Worse yet everyone believes they have to right to quiz you on your intentions, for no other reason than to decry your efforts when you fail. I resort to laughter when people ask my intentions for the coming year, and happily inform them that I intend to continue into the next year in the same way I've enjoyed this year.
Nothing will get between me and a mammoth bar of chocolate, I will drink when the notion takes me, and exercise is much more fun when taken as a NERF battle or water fight.
