The other day I was sitting around in my living room and I thought 'Ya know, something is missing',…read moreand then it hit me..... A Chandelier! Nothing sets off a moderately sized entertaining room with 9 foot ceilings like a giant 15 ft work of crystalline art that shines brighter than all of the stars in the sky combined! There was one and only one place that came to mind, Disegno Luce! I had driven past the showroom on OG Road hundreds of times and never had a reason, or thought of a suitable and plausible back story, to go in. Nothing had really changed other than the fact that I had decided to check it out! Much of the stock is imported from Italy, and they do have plenty of less extravagant options (who wouldn't want a Chandelier though?) to suit your every lighting need. Although many of the larger items have price tags to suit, there is a number of affordable home lighting solutions that could add a little style to your hum drum four walls + ceiling.

Do you have a LED light fitting that needs replacement ? Are you looking for someone who can…read moreprovide excellent customer service ? Are you looking for helpful staff ? Then go elsewhere !!!! I have never witnessed such a poor excuse for service as I did recently. A female customer came in looking for a replacement globe for her LED downlight. Enquiring on the average lifespan on such a globe, the reply was "what type of transformer does it have ?" Well of course it has a ... how the hell would she know, for crying out loud !!! Well do you have one so I can enjoy light again. Oh let me see - by the way is it cool white or warm white ?? The customer replied "I don't really know, can you not tell from the globe ?" Of course you can - if they bothered to read the ID on the globe. "Sorry Madam, we are just out of stock - it will take 2-3 months as they are imported" was Mr Disegno's reply. As I was waiting to finalise a $1200 sale which Mr Disegno stuffed up on, I suggested there were many other reliable retailers who stock this very globe - we're not talking 24ct gold plated NASA specs LED globe here folks !!! Boy was I tempted to cancel my $1200 order - can you imagine the grief I'm going to cop when one of these "5 year warranty" LED downlights fail !!!! I think I'm going to regret keeping this order !!!! Before purchasing any LED lights from Mr. Fiorentino, make certain the globes are available or you will be in the dark for 2-3 months !!!!!

When the Romans were the dominant force on the planet, the strongest and most manly amoung them…read morebattled in the gladitorial ring of the Coleseum. Today men equal to those of yore battle for supremacy at MARS and long shall they be remembered in the pages of history. I play Basketball and Mixed Netball at MARS Sporting Complex in Marden. What makes this a good venue? Well firstly it is pretty close to where I live, which shortens the stank that seeps into the car seats. The three wooden floored courts are sprung and there is plenty of space to the sides of all courts, which can be a problem at some venue's (walls leave big bruises). The other thing that I like is the umpires, in particular the head netball umpire who is a champ. I think a place where the umpires take the time to get to know you is one you should keep going back to, as I have been for 15 years! One big negative is that when it is hot outside it is STUPIDLY hot inside! The aircon only encompasses the front canteen and upstairs Gym, and the 5 or 6 fans just don't cut the mustard. As mentioned, other than the three courts there is also a full gym (with classes etc) and an indoor rock climbing wall. The canteen/bar does not serve alcohol (it used to) which is a right bummer! Also keep in mind that parking can be tight on the occasions that the neighbouring soccer club has training as they choose to park in the gym parking rather than their own. P.S. the times listed are office hours, but the social games start as late as 10:30 on some evenings.

A multi-faceted sports activity/leisure facility. I've been playing ball here for years…read more It gets too hot in summer and too cold in winter but these are great excuses to forget the weather and just run around. The gym upstairs, although I've never been a member, is 24 hours and accessible from its own entrance way on the side of the building. Admittedly, sometimes the staff could use a little more training in hospitality/customer service, but it's not really a place you go to get ultra high service. There are plenty of drinks and bites to eat at the kiosk, the guys running the comps always get the schedules up online in time but sometimes they get it a little wrong (they do take over the phone enquiries). If you've got a few mates that wanna chuck the ball round on a weeknight/weekend, and at least one of you can organise you all to show up each week, get in and give Mars a go. It's a sweaty fun time!
