Don't let the unknown make put you off

Advantages: Nice sharp image, good field of view, duarable
Disadvantages: Slightly heavy, unknown make

...These binoculars are made by DPS, quite an unknown make in the UK and Europe. For once though, this doesn?t mean that the binoculars are lower quality, as one may expect. These binoculars, which I purchased for longer distances, as they have a nice 10X Magnification and a wide 50mm Field of View, have and still do serve me well for long distances and field work. The binoculars provide a good magnification and field of view for the price, and provide a nice sharp and bright picture. This is especially good for longer distances were detail is very helpful, or at low light, were a bright picture is needed. Coming back to the quality, it is of a very high standard and well made. These binoculars will last for quite a long time; although after a few bumps they show ever so slightly signs of weakness. This is to be expected though, and I am...

Review of 10x50 DPS R (Porro Prism)

Rubbish!

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Not for UK, and they don't tell you up front!

...This is a joke. I signed up - and the potential earnigns are good - 10 x 50 points for viewing certain sites each day, which is 50 cents, plus payment for other page views. used it for a few days, then checked it out and this is for the US only!!! No mention during sign up. They say that it will be UK eventually, but no indication if points earned now will count or not! Of course they don't tell you as all your page views and surfing in ignorance still put money in their pockets! Avoid - a bag of shite - very poor attitude from a company ostensibly wnating toi break into the UK market...

Review of altavista.com

Best magazine

Advantages: always got something of interest to yourself in it
Disadvantages: more and more about diets in it recently

...The first thing you notice about Best is that it comes out every Tuesday when a lot of magazines come out on a Thursday. The price of Best is 74p but some weeks you will find it costs less and can be up to half price. Best differs from a lot of magazines by only having 3 weekly competitions. instead of nearer a dozen like take a break and chat. These competitions are a word search with the prize of £50 M & S vouchers for 5 winners, arrow word with the same prizes and cashword crossword where there is a £200 cash prize for one, 3 x £100 and 10 x £50 cash. You have a coupon in the magazine to post or you telephone in the answers. Best is not all about competitions though. Real life This is true, real life stories. These are not so far fetched as some magazines For You Fashion, celebrity and beauty articles...

Review of Ariel Liqui-Tabs Washing Liquid

I have won vouchers from this

Advantages: win money/vouchers, enter interesting questionnaires
Disadvantages: infrequent questionnaires

...and lifestyles. Most surveys give you 5-10 entries into the draw which takes place on the 10th of the month. I wrote and personally thanked Lauren for my prize and my comments were quoted on the site at the winner's page: "Thank you Lauren. I love doing your surveys and will love doing them even more now that I've won something!" - fame at last!! The questionnaires are quite interesting and there doesn't seem to be any spam e-mails sent as a result of the answers. I think companies are genuinely intersting in the results rather than the e-mail addresses. The draw for the prizes takes place on the 10th of the month. Top prize is £250, the other prizes are 5 x £100, 10 x £50, 25 x£20 and 60 x £10 (Amazon voucher) so it is worth doing the quick surveys for the chance to win. At present there is no referral programme, although it has been...

Review of lightspeedresearch.com

Ebay fun.

Advantages: Can get some really good bargains
Disadvantages: People like me beating you to them.

...have bought a childs bike which cost me £45 inc postage, and ok it was second hand but it was a £250 bike. My daughter bought a pair of 10 x 50 binoculars £60 worth at least for £3.20. I have had a couple of bad experiences, I tried to buy some magnex from a spanish company, who went bust, and a DVD which I thought was genuine, wasn't. But the good far outways the bad, and both of these bad people are no longer registered users. Thank you for reading....

Review of ebay.co.uk

SPEEDY WEBSITE, BUT LIGHT ON REWARDS

Advantages: Web site is fast and easy to navigate, the surveys are simple to do
Disadvantages: The rewards are not exactly fantastic

...take part in surveys and in reward, you are entered into a draw to win one of the following: 1 x £250.00 Cash Prize 5 x £100.00 Cash Prizes 10 x £50.00 Cash Prizes 25 x £25.00 Gift Voucher Prizes 60 x £10.00 Gift Voucher Prizes Now, to tell you the truth and as you may well know from some of my other opinions, I can’t stand sites that offer Draw Prizes! They are pathetic and are way to easy to fiddle, I mean come on, it is very easy to announce Mr T Jones, from Cardiff won this weeks £250.00 prize, as no-one will actually check every Mr T Jones from Cardiff to see if the prize was actually won, will they? Well, that’s that cleared up. Anyway, back onto the Surveys and how hard/easy they are; I have only participated in around 6 or 7 and to tell you the truth, they are simple and not very time-consuming, as a matter...

Is that a photo in your pocket...

Advantages: Quality so sharp, it's a deadly weapon
Disadvantages: Price of replacing Ink

...just below the output tray. This holds photo paper 10x50 cm in size and up to 20 sheets. This allows you to print A4 and photos without the annoyance of having to change paper (it's the small little luxuries) It also has a handy job cancel button on top so no ink will be wasted by having to wait for unwanted print jobs. The printer has a very quiet operation, which is great, seeing as I prefer to work in the wee small hours of the morning. So I now don't have the worry of annoying anyone in the house with my old printer, which sounded like it was being hit with a hammer every pass the print-head made. Also if you were feeling very fancy and you really, really wanted it an optional duplex unit is available for it, so printing on both sides of the page has never been simpler. The high performance print engine this machine has been given can...

Review of HP Deskjet 959c

worth a vist

Advantages: lovely resort
Disadvantages: none

...selling the usual tourist stuff but shop around prices vary a lot. Beach Is approx 10 mins walk away. It has a lovely stretch of sand & gently sloping sea & wasn't over crowded. Sunbeds are expensive so take a towel/mat. Duty Free Cigarettes aren't widely available in Son Bou. Your best bet is to buy them at Gatwick or go to Mahon where the cheapest tobacconist we found was down hundreds of steps near the harbour. 10x50g packs of Golden Virginia was 45? & 200 B&H ciggies were 30?. There isn't much difference in the price in Mahon or at the airport on your way home. Waterpark Trip We had fun but it's not big enough to pass almost 6 hours especially as we had some rain when we went. However, you can go out of the park but get your hand stamped first so you can get back in again. This makes the trip more worthwhile. There are shops...
