Yup its the end of the Summer but wait that doesn’t mean the end of alfresco cooked meals does it?
I say no, I’m Scottish and willing to freeze my nipples in the pursuit of chargrilled bbq perfection.
To help me attain these perfect Autumn and Winter barbecues I recently purchased the stainless steel pedestal bbq from Lidls for £34.99.
It boasts an adjustable chrome plated steel grill which can be moved very easily to three different cooking heights! The heat resistant bakelite side handles make this supremely easy and safe ta boot.
Cleverly the designer(s) have utilised the pedestal …
Banus Jeans are a new fashion label with a range of mens luxury designer jeans. I recently bought a pair of 801 Ronda orange label because I was sick of paying £20-£30 for jeans that fall apart in a month. Yes really a month!
I do have a tendancy to be very hard on my jeans, in the way that I wear them almost everyday! Yes I probably should wash them more but hey I dont feel like they get dirty except around the leg hem. Anyway basically I have around two pairs of jeans that I wear constantly, …

The Blackberry Bold 9700 is a fantastic little phone! It really is and as a test I’m actually writing this review on my new 9700 on a bumpy bus to Dundee.
So what can I tell you about it? Well let’s start with the look and feel of the thing. The combination of polished black, chrome and the tactile leathery finish on the back give the 9700 a sleek, sexy and professional business look. The leather feel back also helps grip when typing on the dinky full qwerty keyboard.
Its definitely the most stylish looking business orientated smart phone I’ve …

I decided to start a classified ads website for my local area a few months ago. I searched Google for a couple of days and couldnt find software that was quite right.
I found Noah’s Classifieds and although I was not totally sold buy their website and demo of the software, I did find the recent feature of a bridge to WordPress very interesting and useful. So having found nothing better I decided to purchase the latest E-Commerce SEO version at $199.95 and the WordPress Noah Premium Widgets at $49.95 (I believe the actual bridge is free).
So having just …

OK so if you are anything like me (a man) then the thought of jostling in crowds in town centres is about as much fun as fighting off a bunch of savage, knife wielding, bobbit feminists whilst being naked!!
So of course the solution is to do it all online….which I do. This is of course not a new concept and would have thought that any man who hadnt thought about doing all their Crimbo shopping online probably deserves to trawl around shops being beaten to the best deals buy a wiley old Grandma. The rest of us however are …
My girlfriend and I watched every episode of Buzzcocks when Simon was at the helm. So when we heard he was coming up to our home town of Perth we were very excited. However come the beginning of August I had completely forgotten about it…luckily my birthday is at the end of August and my girlfriend bought me tickets for the show in Perth Concert Hall on 2nd November.
I wasnt exactly sure about what style and format Simon would entertain us with. That is I knew it would be clever, sarcastic and razor sharp but having never seen any …

Opencart is an open source shopping cart written in PHP that is rapidly growing in popularity. This is in part down to its creator Daniel Kerr’s hard work in building Opencart from the ground up using a logical MVC framework.
MVC explained:
Model: The database layer. All calls to the database are done here, referenced from the controller.
View: Template display for front and backend. This is where the HTML/CSS designing is done.
Controller: Main controlling code base. This is where the functional code logic is processed.
What this all means is that Opencart’s code is streamlined and easier to …

Well the PS3 Slim is here……well it was bound to happen, they have to pedal their wares a bit more before the PS4 is launched!! Plus its a proven technique with the original playstation, PSP and Nintendo DS.
So is it any good and what are the specs?
Well it is supposedly leaner and meaner. The slim PS3 is 32% smaller, 36% lighter and consumes 34% less power than the original PLAYSTATION 3 models. So its most definitely leaner but where is the meaner? It comes as standard with a large 120GB hard drive!
…..what is that it…..no other differences……no …
