Add some character to your pond, day or night, with this garden-inspiring solar powered water fountain
- Powered by the sun, a separate solar panel (3metre connector cable supplied) will absorb and convert sunlight to command a low voltage pump and create an ornamental, cascading water feature that will not only become an eye-catching centre piece but also help pondlife to grow by providing water oxygenation and circulation. Alternatively, ‘build your own’ and place within your favourite bowl or pot and create a decorative water feature for your patio, balcony or even conservatory. The Sunjet 150 fountain can reach a height of up to 35cm (13.7”). For deep water ponds simply attach the floating base and allow the water fountain to freely float around the pond or alternatively, place the fountain in your preferred position by using the anchor sack included. No running costs; simply install, admire and enjoy.
Price : £ 29.95

The London Tube Map is probably the most iconic schematic* map ever drawn. Despite being topographically inaccurate this lifeline to understanding how to go where in London has become a classic work of art. Nowhere has it been better represented than in this achingly cool wall mirror from those award wining London designers at Suck U.K. The London Underground map was the brain child of Harry Beck (a London Transport employee in 1931) who realised that drawing an accurate map of the tube system would just confuse the heck out of us all. His graphic schematic (which rhymes so beautifully) has become famous the world over and been copied again and again for other underground systems all over the planet. This sizeable 75cm long mirror comes with steel wall brackets and screws for mounting and is quite possibly the most chic hall or wall mirror in circulation. *Schematic means it’s a representational diagram as opposed to a topographical map (i.e. it’s shape bears no relation to reality). Solid glass mirror with gold-coloured depiction of the London Underground Map. The designer’s clever screen printing process creates the illusion that the mirror itself is etched with the map. All zones featured on the Tube Map. Steel brackets and screws for wall mounting are included. Makes a trendy but functional room feature for ‘Londonites’ and Train spotters alike. Size: 75 x 52 x 0.6cm This product is glass so you know the drill… don’t go throwing stuff at it it’s fragile.
Price : £ 74.99

Average Rating: 4.5 / 5 (96 Reviews)
Amazon.co.uk Review
The controversy that surrounded Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of Anthony Burgess’s dystopian novel A Clockwork Orange while the film was out of circulation suggested that it was like Romper Stomper: a glamorisation of the violent, virile lifestyle of its teenage protagonist, with a hypocritical gloss of condemnation to mask delight in rape and ultra-violence. Actually, it is as fable-like and abstract as The Pilgrim’s Progress, with characters deliberately played as goonish sitcom creations. The anarchic rampage of Alex (Malcolm McDowell), a bowler-hatted juvenile delinquent of the future, is all over at the end of the first act. Apprehended by equally brutal authorities, he changes from defiant thug to cringing bootlicker, volunteering for a behaviourist experiment that removes his capacity to do evil.
It’s all stylised: from Burgess’ invented pidgin Russian (snarled unforgettably by McDowell) to 2001-style slow tracks through sculpturally perfect sets (as with many Kubrick movies, the story could be told through decor alone) and exaggerated, grotesque performances on a par with those of Dr Strangelove (especially from Patrick Magee and Aubrey Morris). Made in 1971, based on a novel from 1962, A Clockwork Orange resonates across the years. Its future is now quaint, with Magee pecking out “subversive literature” on a giant IBM typewriter and “lovely, lovely Ludwig Van” on mini-cassette tapes. However, the world of “Municipal Flat Block 18A, Linear North” is very much with us: a housing estate where classical murals are obscenely vandalised, passers-by are rare and yobs loll about with nothing better to do than hurt people.
On the DVD: The extras are skimpy, with just an impressionist trailer in the style of the film used to brainwash Alex and a list of awards for which Clockwork Orange was nominated and awarded. The box promises soundtracks in English, French and Italian and subtitles in ten languages, but the disc just has two English soundtracks (mono and Dolby Surround 5.1) and two sets of English subtitles. The terrific-looking “digitally restored and remastered” print is letterboxed at 1.66:1 and on a widescreen TV plays best at 14:9. The film looks as good as it ever has, with rich stable colours (especially and appropriately the orangey-red of the credits and the blood) and a clarity that highlights previously unnoticed details such as Alex’s gouged eyeball cufflinks and enables you to read the newspaper articles which flash by. The 5.1 soundtrack option is amazingly rich, benefiting the nuances of performance as much as the classical/electronic music score and the subtly unsettling sound effects. –Kim Newman
