Winmau Lakeside World Championship Edition Darts Set Review

I've always wanted to learn to play Darts but I've never managed to get around to it.  Today I had an urge to give it a try so I had a quick look online to see what shops on the 'High Street' sold them so I could pick one up today (before I changed my mind) after searching around I found that Argos was pretty much the best place to shop.

After looking at all the options I narrowed it down to either the Winmau Blade 4 or the Unicorn Eclipse dart boards, but which one is best?  What a minefield that is!  After reading reviews on the internet I found that for every person saying the Blade 4 is the best there was another saying the Eclipse was the best - so at least I had picked the two most popular ones at least.

I decided to look at the different accessories that you can get with them as I wanted to hang it on the wall and as a beginner I'm more than likely to miss at some point so I need some sort of surround etc. to minimise damage to my wallpaper.  After looking at all the different options I decided that the Winmau Lakeside Word Championship Edition Darts Set was the right one for me as it includes the Winmau Blade 4 dartboard, two sets of darts and a deluxe cabinet to hang it on the wall with.

After reserving it online I popped down to my local Argos store and purchased the set and brought it home where I spent the next 20 minutes hanging drilling holes and hanging it on the wall.

I have to say though, first impressions are that the finish of both the dartboard and the so called 'luxury cabinet' are pretty poor.

Kettering Asda Breakfast Review

I don't often go out for a cooked breakfast but today I fancied a treat and as I needed some shopping from Asda I decided to give one of their cooked breakfasts a go.

Now I have to be honest, they've not been particularly brilliant in the past, in fact it's been downhill at this site since they took over from the Co-Op who did fantastic cooked breakfasts!

On ordering my breakfast I was asked if I wanted one of the fried eggs (that had clearly been cooked a long, long time ago and had gone all hard) or a fresh one.  Obviously I opted for a fresh one.  After taking my money, the young whipper-snapper on the till started ranting out-loud to her colleague how much she hated eggs, both eating and cooking them.  Nice thing to say in front of customers when it's your job to cook them.

I was told to take a seat and she'd bring my breakfast over when the egg had been cooked and within a matter of minutes my luke-warm breakfast was brought over to me:

The egg was perfect, hot and runny just how I like it.  However as I started to tuck in I soon found that the rest of the breakfast was luke-warm at best and when I got to the sausages, well I was in complete and utter disbelief:

As you can see there was a thick-black burnt crust to them.  Surely the young girls who had cooked them had noticed this??  They clearly didnt have the gumption to realise they should not be serving substandard food items and should have binned them and started again, but no they served them to their customers.

After I scrapped off the barely edible part of the sausages I was left with two bits of charcoal that would be more at home in an artists studio than on a plate of food.

I dunked the now cold bacon in my actually yummy freshly cooked fried egg and left the rest.

Like I said before, Asda cooked breakfasts here have never been particularly nice, but they've always (just) been edible but this experience has put me off for life.

A real shame as everything else in this store is brilliant.
