Cheapest Flights On The Net
Review of easyjet.com by
julianw
Advantages: Cheap, reliable, easy to use web site
Disadvantages: None
...Easyjet's website is quick and easy to use. I have flown with them six times in the past year and had no problems. Their flights are generally prompt and the longest delay I have had is one hour, I had a six hour delay with BA last time I flew with them.
Anybody looking for cheap flights in Europe use this service, beware to book early as a delay can cause the price to go up as it is on a first come cheapest ticket basis. Try to book a couple of months before you fly.
Do not be put off with flying from Luton, it is easy to get to and now has a decent terminal building....

Cheap and Oh no customer service
Review of Ryanair - RYR by
KingHerrod
Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Does not care
...Ryanair is cheap, ok advantage out of the way. But Ryanair, does not know how to treat customers in my experience they are rude, unhelpful, arrogant and disinterested in customer satisfaction. News to ryanair, price does not always win.
I have experienced delays with lots of airlines and OK, not many are that helpful, but Ryanair are posutively blaze, you are delayed, we do not care, we could fly you out in three days time, go home in the meantime. No help is given in finding accomodation when there is an overnight delay and the attitude is appaling. Oh and I have been delayed with Ryanair, more times than any other airline. In fact the only airline that is worse in Bangledesh Air!
Finally, Ryanair does not have a customer service line that you can speak to, nor does it reply to correspondence asking after their poor service....

Wobbling in the vortex
Review of Electro Harmonix Delux Memory Man by
elbamfordo
Advantages: Nice analogue sound very suited to any electric instrument.
Disadvantages: Big and possibly outdated as the new ones look AWESOME
...Here we have the reissue Memory Man with the addition of modulation effects which are a bit like chorus or gentle flanging.
This pedal is so much fun it should come with free earplugs and a health warning.
If you are looking for a delay pedal this is probably not what you know as delay. Digital delay has a very precise clinical feel to it and delay times are often in excess of 2 seconds.
This pedal probably has delay times of just under a second which for an analogue device is a very long time. It uses the bucket brigade principle of passing signal through a series of chips which hold the signal as they charge before sending it to the output. This means more of an 'old skool' feel as the sound acquires a kind of warmth. A good simile would be the difference between CD and magnetic tape sound quality between the source sound...

delayed
Review of EasyJet - EZU by
kirstymac
Advantages: easy booking
Disadvantages: around 80% of easyjet flight are delayed for over and hour.
...i recently flew on an easyjet flight from glasgow to London return and i have to say that i was not impresseed. On the way down the flight was delayed and then on the way back to Glasgow the flight was delayed for around 2 hours. I found this totallly un-acceptable because i had sombody coming to collect my at the airport and althought they checked flight details before they left the details changed in the time it took them to get to the airport and they were left hanging around Glasgow airpart at one o'clock in the morning. I thought that my flight was delayed enough but i heard that there were people who's flight had been delayed for over 3 hours because of a mix-up with crew, not only that but they also had about three hours in a coach to aberdeen. I found this servcice totally unaceptable and i doubt if i will ever travel...

I am going to DIE
Review of Continental Airlines by
earningstuff
Advantages: none i fear flying now!
Disadvantages: lack of professionalism!
...Or so i thought at the time!
I simply refuse to fly with continental airlines (CA hereafter) anymore. At the age of about 12 I flew with my parents to visit relatives in Canada and the US. We flew CA both ways and were delayed on both occasions! Thats not the worst of it though! Delays are now so common place they are part of your holiday!
On the way there we were excited and the delay was just an inconvenience! We finally got there a few hours late and had a great holiday! The flight back goes down in family history as one of the worst experiences ever!
Firstly, the plane was delayed and as per usual we were not informed about anything. Standard waffle! "The plane is delayed we expect to board in X minutes". After X minutes we weren't boarding! We (most passengers)caused a fuss when we were told we would be delayed even longer! We...

Long awaited delay is worth it!
Review of Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Chris Golden, Nancy Holder by
ChrisCooper
Advantages: Great read
Disadvantages: Predictable ending
...This long-awaited (and long-delayed) solo novel from regular Buffy co-author, Nancy Holder was a great read. The story was very interesting, the writing was great and it was generally a very enjoyable novel. This novel was delayed for about a year as it tackled the subject of shootings in schools which is a huge problem in America but after a few re-writes, the story is now suitable and sees all the residents of Sunnydale becoming more unpredictable with people having outrages including Willow!
However, at the same time each of Buffy's friends are disappearing and Buffy soon finds out that a powerful vampire who once knew Angel is after the slayer and is using her friends to get to her....

discusting
Review of Air Europa by
sparky187
Advantages: none
Disadvantages: everything
...The worst and most stressful time of my life. The service was absolutely disgraceful. The communication between the airline and their contracted rep at Gatwick was non existant. So instead they just stringed us along with lie after lie.
To start with 3 weeks before take off we recieved our first 'delay' that was 11 hours was annoying enough, let alone what was to come.
Our next delay was from 18:00 to 4 in the morning. Eventually we get 2 hours sleep then back to the airport to wait another 9 hours get on a plane we were then escorted off with armed police to face another delay and when we eventually took off we landed in the wrong country without even being told.
Long story short we lost 2 days of our holiday.

Boots time delay cleansing wipes
Review of Boots Time Delay Cleansing Wipes by
rosierozi
Advantages: leaves your skin feeling fresh and nourished
Disadvantages: There are no disadvantages in my opinion!!!
...First of all,i have terrible skin.Dont get me wrong,its not covered in spots,but i suffer from terible redness that is not down to sensitive skin,but is in fact probably down to lifestyle.
I am always after new lotions and potions that promise to help my skin look radiant and youthfull.
However I must say that after using this product,i actually feel uncomfatable if i have to use any brand but time delay!
These wipes are honestly in my opinion fantastic.
They make your skin feel extremely nourished and also leave your skin feeling cool,as opposed to some that can make you feel hot and itchy.
I must state that i do combine using the wipes with a time delay toner and a ponds hydro nourishing day cream.this way i cleanse then tone then moisturise for a very cheap price!...

A very flexible delay pedal
Review of Boss Pitch Shifter-Delay PS-3 by
richard_richard
Advantages: Wide range of delays, easy of use
Disadvantages: Slightly expensive
...The Boss PS-3 pedal is a delay and pitch shifter combined into one compact pedal.
I purchased my PS-3 about 2 years ago and paid £149 for it. This is quite pricey for a single effect pedal, but the quality and flexibility of the pedal makes up for this.
Construction
As with all Boss compact pedals the unit is a sturdy all metal construction which is built to take plenty of knocks. A slip proof rubber mat is attached to the bottom of the pedal to stop it from sliding around on slippery floors!
There is a large switch on top of the pedal to switch the effect on and off. The pedal can be powered by a 9 volt battery, or by an external 9 volt power supply.
The controls are mounted on the top of the pedal and these consist of, Balance, Feedback, Delay Time and Mode. I will come later to what each of these controls do.
As well...
