Do your research and make an informed decision - check out what's hot and what's not.

Be warned - not all online review sites are truly honest.

Huge online retailers try hard to help hteir salesby including user reviews of the products. Although illegal it is apparant that soem cunning stunts are being pulled by brand insiders who go on to the sites, make a purchase of their own products and leave glowing reviews.

However all is not lost. Blogs offer a personal opinion and can usually be trusted.

Some sites rely entirely on good content to bring visitors who it is hoped might earn the site owner a few dollars from clicking the Google adverts.

Dont be Fooled - Trust is Everything

One fantastic site is Hints and Things - a veritable cornucopia of information about everyting in the home.

lately the site has added superb buying guides to help choose gifts on the run up to Christmas.

The games console guide offers information about games and gaming - including Playstation, Nintendo Wii and Xbox

For music fans you can read all about the latest iPods and discover what the differences between an iPod Shuffle, Nano and iPod Touch are.

Both iPods and games consoles are very popular Christmas gifts and can be quite expensive. With proper research you should be able to save money and pick up the best deals - just remember - think BEFORE you spend.

Which Laptop?

Like so many things there's just too much choice when it comes to choosing a laptop.

Once again technology has caughtup with the Dirt Digger and its time to upgrade my cranking old laptop which I failed to clean properly to a super dooper laptop that will work anywhere around the house.

This article at least tries to highlight the key things to bear in mind when buying a laptop whereas this is a more transparant attempt to entice visitors to buy a laptop

Looking for cheap laptops?

Check different models and compare prices of laptops and notebooks including the latest models of Acer Aspire, asus eee pc notebooks, macbook, Toshiba laptops, HP Pavilion and Sony VAIO laptops.

Should I Buy an Extended Laptop Warranty?

The advice given says "Once you've decided on the specifications you require, try to keep within a set budget, and don't b e distracted by features and specifications that you don't need" which is all well and good but I can't help thinking that there's a better deal out there.

Unwanted Software and Operating Systems on all Laptops

"Look out for laptops that include the types of software that will suit your needs" - is the advice - ha fat chance. All the models I've come across currently include a trial Office 2007 which no doubt becomes a problem to disable and Windows Vista Operating System - by all accounts a pile of pooh.

Thinking about a Brazilian - honest no nonsense information, to help you understand what a Brazilian is all about.

thanks to Slimming blog for sharing then news that Brazillians can be a bit dodgey and offering honest no nonsesnse information, to help you understand what it's all about.

It sounds as though many were only a close shave away from disaster before the fuzz stepped in.

It seems many fell ill after greedily gobbling bogus diet tablets complaining of chest pains and "trouble down below"

Doctor Doctor reach for your Stethoscope

Of course you have to laugh - later in the post the reference is to "lose 30lbs in 3 days" clearly this was written prior toThe LehMON bank collapse and reports ofits global impact on jobs and money.

Global Bank affects UK Jobs Market

Who wants to work on a mraket anyway?? Fair enough in the eighties market stall holding was glamourised by the likes of Pete Beale and Del Boy Trotter but in this modern age of online shopping we all know where the best prices cna be found -virtuall shopping Malls like SaveBuckets - see the advert above - compare prices whilst shopping onlin.

Now the environmental implications of the brands durability surely has to be another green feather in Land Rover's cap.

There's an interesting fact on the wikipedia entry for Land Rover that claims that it is reckoned that over 80% of all landrovers ever built are still in use and furthermore Freelander have been the best selling SUV since the turn of the millenium.

Politicians exposed...

Not really a green related blog, but it made me smile…

A toddler, aged two-and-a-half, and his mother walked into a fire station in Braintree, Essex, on Tuesday saying the boy had put his head through a small trainer seat for the toilet and now could not remove it.

However, on a green-related issue...

The European Union emits 20,268 extra tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) a year by holding parliamentary sessions in France and Belgium, according to a report on Wednesday. That amount is equivalent to 13,000 return transatlantic flights and is more CO2 than some small island countries emit on their own, said the European Parliament's Greens party which commissioned the study.

So, the answer is simple, ban all politicians!
