Blaupunkt TravelPilot in Fords

Advantages: An idea if you really don't know the area.
Disadvantages: Limited, outdated mapping, not so easy to use

...In our brand new Fiesta, delivered this month, the Blaupunkt TravelPilot comes fitted in a unit combined with the radio. To try this system out, over a period of three weeks, and a total of about 600 miles, entirely within my home county of West Yorkshire, i ran the TravelPilot alongside my own local knowledge of the area built up over 17 years of driving around the area. To enter a destination it is necessary to go through a menu and a series of entries not wholly unlike entering a text message on a mobile phone. There is a form of predictive texting, which can be quite useful. The problem I found, though, was that before I could find the way to, say, Huddersfield Police Station I needed to know what road it is in. There seems to be no provision for places like hospitals or police stations as destinations. Back to the Ato...

Review of Blaupunkt Travel Pilot DX-N

Easy and cheap cut at home

Advantages: even easy cut, good value for money
Disadvantages: none to report yet

...I got this for my partner because, quite frankly, I was sick of him stealing the scissors and my razors at home! This clipper is a good product and I would always reccomend something from the babyliss range - call me a sucker for brands but I have never had a problem with the make when buying products before. The overall appearance isn't the typical appearance to clippers, at least not ones I've seen before but just like it says on the tin my partner found them easy to use and hold. Straight from the box the clippers use "Unique circular blade technology for multi directional cutting" which seem to make a massive differents than a pair of scissors giving the cut a nice and even appearance. The product is rechargable and comes with the mains equipment for corded use or uncorded, whichever you prefer! The results look very...

We all make mistakes! Pilot frixion pen

Advantages: Fully erasable ink, comfortable pen to use
Disadvantages: Takes some getting used to

...My son has recently "gone into pen" at school (very proud mummy!) and he was provided with the classic Berol handwriting pen - the red one with the blue tip (sound familiar?!) but he really couldn't get on with it at all and I can't understand how these have been recommended for a first pen for such a long time; they are quite uncomfortable to hold, the nib is scratchy and the ink does not flow smoothly across the paper - but I'm guessing that they are cheap. After weeks of struggling with it, I went searching for the perfect pen for him and I came across the Pilot Frixion Erasable Rollerball Pen. To be honest, when I read what this pen was supposed to do I didn't really believe it. It claims to be fully erasable using the friction point at the end of the pen; it erases the gel ink purely by heat friction, leaving no debris...

Review of Pilot FriXion Rollerball Pen with Eraser and Rewriter Tip

The Magic of Pilot FriXion

Advantages: A pen that you can erase
Disadvantages: None

...The Pen The Pen is brightly coloured and the same colour as the ink and has a silver tattoo design, with remove by friction written on it. On the end of the pen a silver rubber bit, which is what removes the ink by friction-generated heat. The lid matches the pen and has pilot and frixon ball written in silver. The pen comes in a variety of colours, eight in all. My Opinion I love doing puzzles and I am always on the lookout for a pen that would help me that. I saw this pen in WH Smiths one day and thought that?s a good idea but I wonder if it works. So I went to the till pen in hand and purchased it, once I got it home I opened the packet and gave it a little test. So I got a scrap of paper and did a little scribble, I then turned the pain over and as instructed I rubbed the silver end over the pen and was amazed at what I...

Great Pilot

Advantages: Cheap clothes, wide range of fashion, wide range of sizes
Disadvantages: none

...Pilot shops are great for reasonably cheap, upto date fashion. The shops are very well planned out (very attractive). The one that's nearest to me is Freeport Outlet in Castleford, this shop is quite small, but not too small. I only started to shop here about 3 years ago, and now i get most of my clothes from here. There are a wide range of clothes from jeans to short skirts, tight tops to jumpers, casual wear to party wear. The size range is very good, ranging from 8-18 (some shops are 6-16). The fashion, i think, can be for all ages, but mainly for people aged between 12-25. For a night out on the town you can buy an outfit (top & trousers or skirt) for about £25 (max). I bought a top for £7.50 and a skirt for £12 (excellent price). The staff are very friendly and helpful. People tend to think 'cheap shop, things...

A Little Too Easy

Advantages: Lovely period detail and solid direction.
Disadvantages: It isn't as funny as it could be.

...of the film. Composer Marius De Vries has created arrangements of modern songs in the style of Cole Porter and Noel Coward. So tracks like "Carwash", "Sexbomb" and "When the Going Gets Tough" sound right at home with standards such as "Mad About the Boy", "Let's Misbehave" and "It Had to Be You" thanks to the light jazz stylings of the arrangements. The members of the Easy Virtue Orchestra sound as though they are having fun and cast members like Ben Barnes and Jessica Biel get the chance to prove their singing credentials. De Vries has also written some suitably jazzy incidental music that features Dixieland jazz clarinet and warm brass with brushed cymbal. The music suits the style of the movie and will probably work as a stand-alone album. "Easy Virtue" is a likeable period comedy drama that doesn't break any new ground. The direction is...

Head in the clouds with Pilot clothes

Advantages: Cheap and good quality. Similar styling to famous brands.
Disadvantages: None I can think of.

...Well I have just bought myself a lovely denim mini from Pilot. It was reduced which is always good. I can't complain with the quality of the skirt and the staff were ever so helpful. The size I wanted was only available on the window display, so got an extra discount! Would recommend every one take a visit. It was a quick visit to the store because the skirt caught my eye in the window display, but once inside I noticed a whole range of items in various sizes and styles. Whilst the staff were looking for my size and apologising all the time for the delay, I had a quick look around and noticed some excellent bargains. I could have spent too much money on all the bargains! The clothing is trendy and well suited for me, but I guess not to everyone's taste. But still worth a look....
