The stainless Steel Rat - Still Not Rusty.

Advantages: Fast Paced read.
Disadvantages: None.

...The Stainless Steel Rat joins the Circus. Author - Harry Harrison. The Hero or Anti Hero of the series of stainless steel rat books is Jim DiGriz. He was born or rather created in 1961 and has appeared on book shelves ever since. The richest man in the galaxy, Imperitrix Von Kaiser Czarski, Hires Jim and his wife Angelina to investigate and if possible to catch the criminals behind several bank robberies. Jim, his wife and their son, James, find a common link to each robbery in that every time a bank has been robbed a Circus has been very near by. Jim hires a retired magician, 'The Great Grissini' to teach him some tricks and then joins the circus pretending to be a magician!

Review of The Stainless Steel Rat Joins the Circus - Harry Harrison

Poor quality stainless steel

Advantages: Nice product if you dont use it
Disadvantages: Scratches badly

...After spending a considerable amount of money on a new kitchen (£15K) we purchased this sink thinking it would be a good investment, £400, and within a week the stainless steel scratched terribly. We consider the quality of this sink to be poor, and dont believe it should scratch so quickly. We wrote to Franke, who wrote back saying they couldnt even consider any complaint unless we filled in a complaint form, which would not necessarily get us any further. We couldnt believe the attitude of these so called customer service people at Franke....

Review of Franke Stainless Steel Sink CP652

Sleek, stylish and STAINLESS STEEL!!!

Advantages: slim, stainless steel, long battery, huge clear screen
Disadvantages: themes unimaginative,

...i bought the black version of this phone as i was sick of sony-ericcson's which broke after a few drops. The stainless steel frame appealed to me as I drop my phone a lot and I thought it would last longer and save me money in the long run. The design is really simple sleek and sexy especially in the black model which I have. The buttons are not too small like a lot of phones that are out at the moment. And although i don't have fat fingers it does make it easier to send those drunken text messages. The screen is beautifully clear and the camera is excellent.The only niggle I have with the camera is that it has no flash and doesn't perform well in low-light. in this case a sony with the same spec camera performs better. Browsing the web is a pleasure with such a large screen and it's easy to navigate with the welll thought...

The bargain stainless steel kettle:)

Advantages: Fast boil, looks great, easy to use, strong
Disadvantages: None really

...Hello everyone and welcome to this review! I found this kettle in my local B&Q for the very reasonable price of £9.99! We simply could not resist picking it up at that price. Our old kettle was working just fine but it did not match the other stainless steel appliances in our kitchen. We were so glad to find one so cheap, especially it being a Kenwood. We picked it up and off we went to have a cuppa? Luckily the box was small and easy to carry as we had the last one left and had a few other things to pick up in B&Q on the way. It was rather heavy though which told me it was a quality device. When we opened the kettle it was well wrapped to ensure it came in perfect condition. The quality of the stainless steel was amazing with not one mark or blemish on the whole kettle. We were very impressed with the quality, even though...

Review of Kenwood SJM270

Franke stainkess steel sink scratched badly within 1 day

Advantages: Looked nice before it was used
Disadvantages: Terrible for scratching and rusting

...I had a Franke stainless steel sink installed in my new kitchen. With the first use it scratched. I had only washed cups and a teaspoon, put them on the drainer and when I had finished drying up I saw that the drainer was all scratched. The Franke label was still in place, that's how new it was. On inspecting the sink the next morning that was also badly scratched and had rust specs in the bottom. Some of the scratches were quite deep considering I had only washed a few every day items. I would have expected a sink to perform much better than this. I feel that the sink is not fit for use for washing up dishes!. I would not recommend any one to buy a Franke Stainless Steel sink....

Feel the Steel

Advantages: Good, solid intro to the band, heavy rock at its finest.
Disadvantages: Bit of a 'quiet' production.

... This band don't just 'rock,' they ''wrowkk!'' I still have vivid memories of waking one Christmas morn to see that the big white bearded guy in the red outfit had left me this album in my Christmas stocking, along with another ''Rush'' album, 'All the world's a Stage.' I must admit that at the time I was more impressed with the latter of the two. I found 'Caress of Steel' a big fat disappointment. I had heard the opening track before and loved it, but the rest just seemed a bit lame. Before I continue, I will just say a few words about Rush because there are always going to be people out there who wonder, ''Rush''? Who the heck are they then?' They were formed in Toronto in 1969 by Geddy Lee on Bass, Alex Lifeson on Guitars and John Rutsey on Drums. They started life as Led Zeppelin wannabes but soon developed their own sound...

Review of Caress Of Steel - Rush

stainless steel rake.

Advantages: lighter to use, will last a lifetime if looked after well.
Disadvantages: none

...About 8 months ago we had a fire in our garden shed, we had been burning garden rubbish and thought that we had been very careful in dousing the fire. We were wrong and the fire completely detroyed our garden shed,and all the tools that were in it,30 years of collecting old tools,things that you cant buy to-day. We were devastated at our loss,but something good did come out of it,we decided to buy stainless steel tools, and a rake was part of our important buys. I cant tell you what a great difference it has made to us, it is lighter to use,not so heavy on the wrists,the work seems to be lighter,it can be used for heavy work or light,I have a lot of clearing to do on a small allotment and the stainless steel rake is a must. provided you clean the stainless steel when you have finished the garden work your steel tools should last...

Review of Neverbend Stainless Garden Rake

A Very Timely Purchase.

Advantages: Good looking and reliable watch
Disadvantages: none really

...looking in a classic sort of way. Like I said earlier I wear it all the time, but after three years or so there is not a single scratch on the crystal glass face, and the stainless steel bracelet, whilst having a slight patina on it from wear is also in great condition. Talking of the bracelet, it is adjustable from the snap clasp but also comes with extra links which your jeweller should be able to add if necessary. I actually got a link removed after a few months of ownership as it turned out that my wrists had been rather larger than normal at the time of purchase, as well as the rest of me. As I said before I wear this watch pretty continuously, and find it really comfortable. You can't hear it ticking, and the movement of the second hand is quite smooth, and most importantly it keeps good time, it has a quartz movement. The PR50 is...

The Steel Witches

Advantages: Fabulous story excellently told
Disadvantages: None

...what was related to what, as the author kept the cards firmly against his chest. As a result I had to read more to see what was going to happen and learn the truth. Some of the excellent links I did not anticipate at all. I could not see how his family were really involved with the Steel Witches and what had happened during the war that was so important. There was so much to enjoy, take in and digest in the story, but at the same time because it was well told and laid out you never got lost at all. The author was skilfully running two different stories simultaneously. You had the current investigation with Fletcher but you also had the story of the Witchfinder back in the 17th Century. It looked into the ways he tried to prove they were witches but written through one of the women?s eyes from what had been passed down to her. I...
