The Tesco value pepper is a product I had tried recently and this is my review.

I have been trying out some of the items in the Tesco value range to see if they are any good and I think some of them are rubbish but some of them I would definitely buy again.

I use pepper in a lot of cooking and preparing meals. I also like it on some of my meals to. I usually use ground pepper but when I saw this in my local Tesco supermarket I thought I would buy it to give it a try out as I use pepper a lot.

The packaging is very basic and this is the case with all of the products in the Tesco value range. This is because it is a 'no frills' range and you are not paying for nice looking packaging. The Tesco value pepper comes in a little plastic pot which is white in colour. There is a white label on the front to the little tub and this has the name of the product on and the usual Tesco value logo and wording which is all in red and blue.

When I went to open the pepper pot I thought it was a bit fiddly because of the way the pot had a sticky label covering the little holes on the top of the pot. Once I got this off though I thought the pepper came out the holes in the pot just fine and this let me garnish my food and season my cooking.

The pepper tastes nice and it gives a kick to my food. I did not like it as much as my ground pepper that I usually use but I did not expect to as there is such a difference in price. The Tesco value pepper does not look that attractive either but again this does not really bother me and I am more worried about the taste than how it looks.

The taste is like other pepper and can be quite hot if you use to much of it. I like this though so it does not bother me at all.

I would buy the Tesco value pepper again as I liked the taste and thought for the money it was a good buy. It only cost me about 20 pence or so for the little tub and this has a lot of uses in it as it is a good little size.

I would suggest giving it a try and think it is a good product for the money. It is not the nicest pepper I have ever eaten but it is the cheapest. I think it is worth a try and will buy it again.
Summary: PEPPER FOR PENNIES

I have recently tried out the Glade Magnolia and Vanilla Air Freshener spray and this is my review.

The Glade Air Freshener Magnolia and Vanilla was a scent that I had not seen before so I do not know if it is a new one or if I just have never seen it. I like flower scents and quite like using vanilla candles in my house so I thought the Glade spray sounded very nice.

I bought my spray in Sainsbury's and I paid £1.23 for the spray can. The can is a good size and is 300ml which is the same size as most air freshener cans that I usually buy. The picture on the front of the can is very nice and it has a pretty flower on it.

I like to keep an air freshener can in my bathroom and I also spray some in my hallway after I have dusted and cleaned it. I do not spray to much just a couple of squirts and my hallway is very big so the fragrance does not feel to strong when I spray it in there. I also use air freshener if I am having guests over and I usually spray one squirt into each room so that I know there is a nice smell for my visitors coming over.

The Glade Magnolia and Vanilla air freshener smells very nice and I liked the flower scent in the air freshener. It is a very fresh smell and is not to over powering and I thought that the smell lasted a long time in the room after I sprayed it. I thought the smell was quite strong and it was very easy to notice so I did not need to use to much of the spray to be able to smell it in the room so I knew the can was going to last me a long time.

The only thing I did not like about the Glade Magnolia and Vanilla Air Freshener was the type of vanilla scent they had used in the air freshener. The vanilla part of the scent was not to warm which is what I like most with vanilla scents. I thought the vanilla was very sweet and sickly and it made the air freshener catch in my throat. The magnolia part of the spray was very nice and quite flowery and subtle and it is a shame that the vanilla in the spray was so sickly cos it just ruined the lovely magnolia scent of the spray. It put me off from using the spray a bit and I went and bought another one instead and will just use the Magnolia and Vanilla one in the bathroom and not when visitors are coming round.

I thought that I was getting headaches from this Glade Air Freshener after I had sprayed it into my living room or bedroom then was in that room for a while I would start to feel a headache coming on and I think it is cos the vanilla in the spray was so sickly and very sweet that it made my head feel sore. This put me off from using the Glade Air Freshener again.

I would not really suggest giving the Glade Magnolia and Vanilla Air Freshener a try out cos I thought the vanilla in the scent was very cheap smelling and it was to sickly and sweet and ruined the lovely smell of the magnolia so it put me off from using it. I would not buy it again and it is a shame cos I really liked the magnolia flower scent.

i don't read books any more, just dooyoo reviews

you hardly see white pepper nowadays, i wonder if it's due a comeback

real england fair grounds look a lot like real american fair grounds

no doubt. there are probably certain kinds of realness that are transcontinental

digression (because academic study of the real is not itself real. Usually): thinking about realness of minor celebrities in airbrush fairground art led me to the National Fairground Archive, & its articles on the miami, and airbrush art.

and now the works of Paul Wright.

Whilst the 1990s saw marked new genres and practices on the fairground, buttressed by a terrific upsurge in the spectacle and amplification of pop culture on the fairground via the monopolisation of dance music

this is cock on, the experience of fairground rides pre: Happy Hardcore/2-Step/Bassline is v. hard to remember for me

i love fairground airbrush art btw, it is unique and precious

totally - I'd never looked for it on the web before, heartened to see the enthusiasm for the stuff of now rather than just the old-timey tootling wooden horse stuff (which is fine too, but I also want giant airbrush Cheryl Coles).

Go Sheffo fanzine

Go Sheffo is a fanzine about Sheffield and its potential to be the coolest city in the world. Previous editions have included last summer's 'Sheffield Is Beautiful', which featured photographs of Sheffielders enjoying a brief hot spell, while the recent 'Death' issue was about the potential for reusing disused factory works for creative spaces such as band practice rooms and artists' studios. Last year, Go started a competition called 'Cooling the Towers'. It's aim was to save these sleeping beasts from certain demolition by turning them into a symbol of what Sheffield stands for: a proud and fiercely creative city. The famous cooling towers (pictured below right) would become an Angel of the North for the Tinsley Viaduct. One suggestion was that the towers would light up as cars passed on the M1, one a tower of red lights and one a tower of white. Go Sheffo petitioned the city council with these suggested uses but met with mute response. So the secret potential of the towers may tragically never be realised.

sometimes i just remember fragments of guardian articles from 2006 or whatever and have to look them up, it's like a degraded reverse clairvoyance

Hoax bomb threat bridegroom is jailed in Liverpool

A would-be bridegroom who made a hoax bomb threat to a wedding venue after realising he had failed to confirm his booking has been jailed.

I've found the above story oddly haunting for reasons I'm not sure I can quite explain.

i feel like altho he done a bad thing 12 months was a bit of cunt's sentence on the judge's part

Can totally see myself doing something like this in a similar situation, I think that's part of it. The same queasy feeling I get when I watch certain episodes of Peep Show.

have a vague feeling i may be at least distantly related to that scouse dude. my mum is a scouser and has the same last name. it's not a wildly uncommon name though i.. guess.

"You probably done the bomb scare yourself" is a key part of this tale.

not so much as the picture as the series of decisions that led to that person uploading that photograph to wikipedia and then annotating it on the dartford wikipedia page

Basingstoke is peculiar. you exit the station and, well they've basically taken a load of high street shopping conglomerations (debenhams + sundry satellite stores, next + etc) that previously had formed mini-malls and covered the *all* over, so the second you enter Basingstoke it's totally a huge covered mall that you have to walk through to get to the "Top End of the Town", which is old market-town Basingstoke and more pleasant in some respects but full of shit shops and an excellent looking local museum.

that's barely coherent I recognise. the Mary Poppin, yes, bakers is incredibly expensive bad and slow.

my only experience of Basingstoke has been passing thru on a National Express coach i think. didn't look like i'd want to get off and look around.

those towns where they have typical high street chain shops cafes etc in 18th century buildings with low ceilings are quite real

Oxford's a city of real/not real contrasts.

i went to sixth form in basingstoke, it's a desperately awful place to be a teenager. nothing at all to do there and unless you're going to that cock-awful shopping center it's totally impossible to get to anywhere else in the town without a car. went back two years ago on a cold and shitty day for my mate's funeral, twelve quid for a taxi to the crematorium and an earful of racist drivel from the cabbie. lots of big shiny new buildings there and still fuck all to do

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/88/Northallerton_Pizza_Express.JPG

has any youth culture oriented media outlet ever done a 'least bad provincial town / suburb to be a teenager in' listicle

Pizza Express seem to specialise in this shit. Leamington Spa is another "tawdry shops in neo-Classical buildings" classic as i remember

i know i'm biased but brighton ftw xp
