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...

Review of Pilot FriXion Rollerball Pen with Eraser and Rewriter Tip

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...

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 To Be an Airline Pilot - Andrew Cook

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....

Recently Converted Pilot Addict

Advantages: great student loan stretcher!
Disadvantages: too much choice

...Before being introduced to Pilot I could be considered quite a snobby shopper. When I went out shopping with friends I would look in certain shops that advertise a certain image whilst avoiding others because of a 'cheaper' image. I am ever grateful to a friend who recently dragged me into our local Pilot store. The first thing that I noticed is the huge range of clothes. There are so many styles to choose from, as well as mixing basic items with more seasonal fashion items. I often have trouble finding black trousers that i like, and when I do I usually have to live in them for fear of not finding another pair I like. In other shops as the fashion changes staple items like black trousers take on drastic changes like all of a sudden becoming flares, or low cut hipsters. In Pilot I was able to find a wide range of trousers in...

CoPilot Live 6 Review +Important N95 Information

Advantages: Very Easy to install, use and great value for money
Disadvantages: If zoomed in & are on a roundabout arrow can be a little hard to read

...Bought this software when i got my mobile phone- O2 Orbit, quite recently. This software is actually amazing! The version for the Pocket PC is virtually exactly the same at the symbian based CoPilot live software for the Nokia Mobile phones. The Software is incredibly easy to use: Installation: I received a mini SD memory card and a slightly bigger memory SD card adapter which could fit into any memory card reader. I inserted the memory card in and the installation begun to take place. There were little manual settings to be set. After the installation of the software was complete, I prompted to restart my phone once restarted I ran the software and I had to the enter the serial key which unlocked the software. That was it, I was now finished, and as my phone already had an inbuilt GPS receiver I had picked up a signal...

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

The Street Pilot's Younger sister.

Advantages: sleek, easy to use, fool-proof, light, does everything you expect
Disadvantages: poor MP3 sound, monotone

...A message to my Garmin Street Pilot??? A long lasting, rewarding relationship with a very loyal partner recently ended and it was all my fault. I have to take all the blame and accept full responsibility. So to my Garmin Street Pilot Sat Nav, that has been by my side on all my travels, please forgive me for leaving you in a hire car and I really hope you enjoyed your trip to Aberdeen with your new owner. As a result I have therefore been in the market for a new bit of stuff and playing the field certainly brings back memories of my yoof. The Tom Tom drums were sounding and drawing me in but I hope that you understand and forgive me for starting a new relationship with your younger but much more adventurous sister, the Garmin NÜVI 310. I must say she is a sleek, slim little thing, an almost fashionable size zero weighing in...

Review of Garmin NÜVI 310

My personal favourite...

Advantages: The clothes and price
Disadvantages: None, sorry but there isn't!

...Pilot Clothing As I remember it, there were no advertising campaigns or anything for this store, they just sprang from nowhere! I think that I heard about these guys from the magazine I subscribe to, Glamour. Do they have online shopping available: They do have a website, but there is no online shopping. * The Shop Layout Plus Side ~ I?ve been to the one in Oxford Street and Wood Green shopping centre and both have been the same. The theme is silver, but not in a retro, over the top way. There are rails against the walls and in the middle of the floor. And the clothes are set out not by colour but by style. The clothes are actually on the rail instead of sprawn all over the shop floor (Except for when the are in a sale, then it?s complete chaos!) There are usually two tills so the queues are minimal, I've not had to wait...
