Blowing alot of Hot Air but Ballooning does that!

Advantages: A breathaking experience, amazing views.
Disadvantages: You can only fly depending on the weather so flights may be cancelled.

...My Hot Air Balloon Ride A Hot Air Balloon Ride was something I had always wanted to do whether it was going to be on my own or with someone special. Well I had met someone special (and yes for all those guessing (Torr) it was my girlfriend Dayle Hall) and I decided that I was going to buy a trip for her birthday. I started as most people would, and scanned the Internet to see what company was local to me in Kent and the prices of the trips. I found a company called 'Out of this World', based at Paddock Wood in Kent and this is an old Hop Farm but they also flew from Leeds Castle in Kent, where not only is it the most picturesque castle I have ever seen, they also hold several open air concerts throughout the year, with acts including Elton John, Will Young and Keane. I wanted to book an early bird flight, as it was called...

Review of Hot Air Ballooning - General

Gulf Air

Advantages: clean, comfortable, good service
Disadvantages: No direct flights out to Asia

...I have flown repeatedly with Gulf Air out to various places in Asia from India to South East Asia and the far east. These have always required a stop-off in the gulf area of the Middle East, almost always Bahrain which is the airlines hub. The airline has connections from London, Paris and Frankfurt out to Bahrain and from there there are plenty of connections out to Asia and to various places around the Middle East and Islamic countries such as Sudan and Iran. Thus it isn't the best connected airline for those trying to connect from Western Europe as it will almost always require a change over unless Bahrain is the final destination. The main reason I have flown with Gulf Air is that they have consistently been the cheapest option on offer for flights out to Asia-perhaps because of the required change over. I have flown with them for 3...

Review of Gulf Air - GFA

Hot Comedy!

Advantages: Funny, big names, Simon Pegg was great
Disadvantages: Bit gory in parts

...I do enjoy a good comedy film, so how Hot Fuzz has passed me by so far is a bit of a mystery to me. I loved Simon Pegg's feature film "Run Fat Boy Run" and since I have seen that, lots of people have told me that I would definitely enjoy Hot Fuzz too. So when I went to stay at my parents for a week and they suggested we watch a film, I spotted Hot Fuzz on the shelf and immediately decided that was the film of choice. My family do enjoy a comedy film, and this film certainly didn't disappoint for us, so much so we went out and bought it after seeing it! PC Nicholas Angel works for the Metropolitan Police in London and loves his job. However, things go a bit sour for him when he is transferred to a quiet Gloucestershire village called Sandford where policing isn't exactly the same as in his beloved London. PC Angel finds himself...

Air Southwest

Advantages: Customer Service, Regional Destinations
Disadvantages: Can be expensive for late bookings

...I had to travel recently to meet up with some friends in London and this airline provided the easiest way to ge there! I work in travel and thought I'd offer a professional opinion on their services. THE COMPANY and THE PLANE Air Southwest is a small airline based in Plymouth and Newquay and operates between 12 destinations all over the UK and Ireland. During the winter they have also been flying to Grenoble for the skiers in the region. They fly Bombardier dash 8 Q300 aircraft - this translates as a prop plane with 50 seats on board with the same seat layout as you would find on most coaches - two on the left and two on the right. For your convenience there is a lavatory and washroom at the front of the cabin. THE JOURNEY I flew from Plymouth to London Gatwick, travelling out on Saturday morning and returning the Same...

Review of Air Southwest

Clean air?

Advantages: it does work.
Disadvantages: replacement filters, breakdowns.

...The idea of an air purifier for home use is a good one. You will need to be able to quickly and easily replace any filtration units and have a machine that is not too obtrusive for any domestic use. Way back in January 2006 I bought 4 of these air purifier units. I am a smoker but I like to keep my smoking to only one room of my house and I wanted to try to keep this from going into all the other rooms. This was not the only reason as both my wife and myself seem to suffer a bit with hay fever. I wanted to get a filter into several rooms of the house. My wife wanted a unit that had a HEPA filter, I just wanted something that could keep the room air somewhat clean and be easy to use. To this day I am still somewhat unsure what a HEPA filter is and why it is supposed to be good. At the time the houses on each side of us were both...

Review of Bionaire BAP242 AIR Purifier WITH Ioniser

Freshen your room with Fresh Air Globe

Advantages: Definitely does help to freshen the air drawing in impurities
Disadvantages: Main unit is £39.99 and replacement oils are £9.99 each

...I purchased the JML Fresh Air Globe and am glad I did! The globe comes with 2 fragrance oils - 1 eucalyptus and 1 lavender which offer both a stimulating or soothing experience. Within the unit there are coloured led lights which change randomly thus creating a relaxing atmosphere when using the appliance in a darkened room. It is amazing how much dirt the water collects (much better in the water than breathing it in). The only drawback with this appliance is that replacement oils are a bit pricey at £9.99. I have been using the JML Fresh Air Globe for about a year now and would definitely recommend it to anyone. Maintenance is exceptionally easy. When the water becomes cloudy simply empty the basin, rinse and refill. The filters are easy to clean too and unclick so you can get access....

Hot stuff!

Advantages: Easy to follow recipes, cheap food on the whole
Disadvantages: Calorie Count!

...Traditional Hot Puddings is a lovely little recipe book which I picked up 10 years ago, I don't remember exactly where from, but it was something like a National Trust property, somewhere very traditional and nostalgic. I can't remember now how much my copy was, but the book is available from Amazon used or new from only 1p (plus £2.75 p&p). The book was first published in 1994, and then reprinted in 1999. It is now printed by Siena, an imprint of Parragon Books who published the first edition. It is written by Sue Ashworth with illustrations by Julia Bigg. A little background... I'm not a huge pudding fan, no ice cream for me, you can keep your cheesecake, and as for profiteroles, Yuk! However, I do like sticky toffee pudding, syrup sponge, really nice, thick, creamy rice pudding, baked apples with mincemeat. So, when I, as a 14-year...

Air 2000/First Choice Flights

Advantages: Cheap but not cheerful
Disadvantages: Offer you no support if things go wrong

...Now the holiday season is fast approaching, no doubt many of you will be perusing the websites and holiday books for ideas on where to spend that elusive two-week break. To be honest, when booking a package holiday I never really took into consideration which airline would be responsible for taking me to my Mediterranean destination. All I looked for was the nearest airport and then the price. ***** WHO ARE THEY AND WHAT THEY DO ******** Since we travelled with Air 2000, they have since become First Choice Flights. As Air 2000 they were quite surprisingly an award winning UK airline. Every year, the airline's 29 aircraft make on average 30,000 flights from fifteen airports in the UK and Ireland. Air 2000 started on 11 April 1987 and is the UK's 3rd largest charter airline. The airline flies from Manchester, London...

Review of Air 2000

Hot chocolate? Hot air.

Advantages: Bubbles are a novelty
Disadvantages: Not very chocolaty, Nestle, Additives

...Usually I don't buy Nestle products on moral grounds, and as a general rule, any drink that puts "drink" at the end of what it is, is to be avoided. For example, "orange juice drink" is unlikely to ever have seen an orange. Still, wandering through my local Iceland, this was the only hot chocolate they had and it was cheap. = Taste I usually like my hot chocolate to be really chocolatey so this was a bit of a disappointment. It tastes like if you get regular hot chocolate but only put half a teaspoon of the powder in. I've tried using smaller mugs, and milk instead of water but it still tastes the same. You definately need to make it with water though because it's already really thick. (Well, you definately need to not make it at all) The texture is the worst thing really. It's quite thick, but instead of being...

Hot Shot

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...Hot Shot was released by reggae artist Shaggy in 2000 and done really well in the album charts at the time, this is a really good album and has a lot of memorable songs, including the most famous 'It wasnt me' and 'Angel'. Hot Shot is a funky, sexy and cool mix of tracks, and is in my opinion Shaggys best album. You can buy this album in most good music stores for around the £5 mark which is a really good deal if you a fan of Shaggy or are into reggae style music. The track listings for Hot Shot is: 1.) Hot Shot 2.) Lonely Lover 3.) It Wasnt Me 4.) Freaky Girl 5.) Leave It To Me 6.) Angel 7.) Hope 8.) Keepin It Real 9.) Luv Me, Luv Me 10.) Not Fair 11.) Hey Love 12.) Why Me Lord? 13.) Joy You Bring 14.) Chica Bonita 15.) Dance and Shout 16.) Why You Mad at Me As you can see for the £5 that...
