Bought 2 pairs of these for my son and myself.

First good point - one postage charge, not two.
Second good point - arrived within 48 hours.
Third good point - fit well, thick soles, warm, and I don't feel they are undersized. They have a low back with a tab, so they are easy to put on. If you don't pull the tab up behind your heel, then the back lies flat under your heel, which can make them feel small. Pull the tab, they fit comfortably, and certainly keep feet warm.

Think these are great value - given that slippers in High St shoe shops can cost up to £30. Only had them about 10 days but they feel like they will last. Thanks.

Highly recommended - this is a very good quality remote which arrived very quickly indeed. Tesco sell these items at over £20 and this is a bargain. The previous one I bought off ebay was cheap, but very nasty.

Quickly programmed to control TV too. Thank you.

If this isn't worth 69p, less than the price of a chocolate bar in WH Smiths, nothing is. It's 7 minutes of pure pop synth heaven with a wonderful vocal from Claudia Drucken, a bassline from Trevor Horn that won't get out your head once you've heard it and production values to die for. The BBC nicked it for several soundtracks including the World Rally Championships, early versions of Top Gear and more. I think it reached #21 on first release.

Turn it up loud.

RNP weaves a powerful, polemic view of the capital punishment debate in the US.

He uses characters you may be familiar with including the Pagets if you've read his earlier work. None of the characters are one-dimensional or throwaway. This is a carefully researched, detailed legal thriller which begins with a horrible crime. The Pagets take on the case of one of the accused. And whilst UK readers may query just how the US legal system persists in promoting capital punishment - at one point, a character points out that every other western democracy has got rid of it - this is a balanced narrative that explores the viewpoint of the victim's family, the convicted and the lawyers on either side.

You don't doubt the moral conviction that underpins the author's work, nor do you feel that he's constructed something too fanciful. This is a serious, hugely well researched novel that takes you on the ambiguous journey. Yes, it doesn't pull its punches, and neither does it gloss over the legal details. It's an involving, rewarding read.

Having been pleasantly surprised by the original film, which had a good plot, excellent acting from the always reliable Robert Downey Jr and support from Gwyneth Paltrow and extremely impressive CGI, this one was a huge disappointment.

The plot is very weak - man turned superhero explores darker side, rival tries to take him on, family feud reignited, battle with Government over who owns the technology - and only two scenes really stand out: an excellent action sequence filmed in Monte Carlo which introduces Mickey Rourke as one of the bad guys and a scene-stealing Scarlett Johansson proving she can do Mission Impossible style stunts with great ease. Those set pieces earn the two stars - if they'd maintained the first film's integrity, plotting and style, it might have been a four star film.

Even the finale lacks excitement - and the best thing that can be said for it is that it's over quickly.

Watch the Mission Impossible or Bourne series or the Daniel Craig Bond films to see how quality directors keep an action franchise interesting and highly watchable. This is a rather pale imitation, despite its quality actors.

Very disappointing.

"After many week, they began to think something was probables wrong"....

Tongue firmly in meerkat cheek, this is a lovingly constructed 127 page homage to the life and times of the world's most famous meerkat.

It's filled with familiar and new images of Aleks' life, written in his mangled mix of Hello-magazine speak and genuine Russian meerkat [sic].

It's as fresh as a just-hatched grub and if it doesn't make you, your kids and your family smile, you've probably had a humour transplant, or you harbour muskrat tendencies. Warning: (page 58): "...never play baccarat with a muskrat."

Move over Clarkson, Gok Wan, Blair. Frankly, Aleksandr has just pipped you at the post for the Booker next year. Even the mighty Jamie Oliver is going to have to have bow down before the recipe for millipede goulash.

I reckon it deserves to sell more copies than the X-Factor winner.

I got given Hot Blood and Cold Kill at Christmas and have read them both in the last 48 hours. Hot Blood, the 4th in the Spider Shepherd series, sees him battling with his newish boss, a psych evaluation, UK arms dealers and the rescue of an old colleague in Iraq.

It's superbly plotted, with enough detail about the characters, including the minor ones, to bring them to life on the page. And Leather really can write, as the story moves at a cracking pace and it's very hard to put the book down at all.

There's the growth of the moral ambiguity that was there in Cold Kill - at what point is it acceptable to break UK laws, overseas laws, use violence, torture and murder to achieve ones ends, whether as a hero or a villain? And although you may or may not agree with the choices the hero makes, its development makes for a more interesting story, and again adds credibility to the characters and plot.

Leather's depictions of Iraq and Baghdad ring true with what we see on the television documentaries and it sounds like he's been there and researched it thoroughly.

If I had one complaint, it's that the central American character that facilitates much covert activity and is all to ready to torture or kill is perhaps too cliched as the representation of what one might hate about US foreign policy. But it provides a foil for Shepherd to make physical and ethical choices for or against and as such serves his purpose.

All in all, thoroughly readable and I'm about to buy the rest of the series on Amazon....

This is a thought-provoking thriller, based on the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine. It has an excellent history lesson about just how both sides came to be in their seemingly intractable positions, yet it weaves this throughout a driving narrative based on real characters, with feelings, imperfections and emotions you'd share.

I've always enjoyed RNP's books, having read several in the past. He writes better than Grisham and his legal process is always rigorously researched.

He is also even-handed, revealing the strengths and the blind spots in both sets of arguments and he's arguably very prescient about the nature of the Middle East and the part played by Iran.

No less than Bill Clinton says you should read this book. At Amazon prices, you won't find a better read in 2007 or 2007. Highly enjoyable, compelling and thought-provoking. Buy it now!

This is an exhaustively compiled selection of the Who's finest moments, with some amazing new archive footage of the High Numbers (pre the decision to name themselves the Who) performing in April 1964 at the Railway Hotel in Wealdstone, filmed by Kit Lambert and Chris Stamp (who became their managers). And it's far from being the only bit - there are 834 clips of copyright cleared vision and music excerpts here, lovingly compiled with peerless sound and vision. It sounds great through a standard television but having heard it at the premiere on a large screen, it will sound even more marvellous in a proper cinema set up.

Townshend is one of the greatest rock composers of all time given Tommy, Who's Next and especially Quadrophenia, (and he is undeniably one of the most influential musicians of the 60s and 70s). There is due regard paid to their complex history, the influence of early and later management and their impact on performers such as Jimi Hendrix. Rightly, Daltrey, Moon and especially Entwistle are all recognised on both discs for their particular talents and their unique contribution to the band. And the deaths of Moon and then Entwistle are not glossed over, and it's clear how their personal behaviours contributed to their deaths.

This does not have the longer, full song, performances that you can find on the Kids are Alright, but in many ways it's a more accessible history of one of the finest rock bands we've ever seen and heard, and one that is still ever-watchable, and capable of coming up with relevant new music, playing venues smaller than stadia, and with a marvellous back catalogue to discover.

I saw the Who in Glasgow in 1975, and many times since. Entwistle inspired me to take up bass guitar, and I play it still. I will sit my children down and play them this DVD, in order to make sure they hear and understand just how much music can shape a teenage childhood and an adult life. Do yourself a favour and buy this DVD and indulge.

NB: it does have plenty of adult language, including drugs and sex references from the start, but nothing you won't find after 9pm on the UK channels....

This was a belated birthday gift as my old iPod mini - which has given me 3 years of service - and still works albeit battery life is about 30 mins - was due for replacement.

It comes inside a beautifully packed little case, not much bigger than a matchbox on steroids. You get the iPod, quick start leaflet, warranty, USB to charger jack and a pair of Apple's (not brilliant) earbud phones.

Because I had an existing dock - albeit one 3+ years old - I was able to slot it on directly. My up-to-date version of iTunes recognised the new iPod directly, created a new "iPod 2 list" and asked me one question whether I wanted to sync it. With one click, I put more than 1000 songs and a selection of recent podcasts on it. It charged up in under one hour. So damn easy.....and the fact that it works in my dock, my old sounddock and with my iTunes library - with literally one click - is a testament to Apple's thinking about using design to improve the life of their customers.

The device itself is tactile - with its black cover and metal back - and oh so light in your pocket.

So why not 5 stars : as has been commented, there were initially no cases or screen protectors around. But, editing this in December 2007, now there are. But I do think the volume levels on it are a little lower than the older iPod mini. So speech is a bit harder to hear on public transport - but I am slightly deaf in one ear!

Yes, the battery will run out. But given that I can buy an 8gb device a tiny fraction of the size of the iPod mini (which has 4gb)at much lower cost than the $249 I paid 3 years ago, is more than progress enough for me. It's outstanding consumer design, and worthy of your hard-earned ££.
