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Disadvantages: Limited, outdated mapping, not so easy to use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...

Homedics SBM-300H

Advantages: Good quality massage, does as described
Disadvantages: Can't really think of any

...I've had some quite bad back pain for over twelve months now, with the main symptoms being lower back pain and stiffness. I've tried a few of those hand held massagers and one day when on holiday in Spain I used one of those massage chairs that you pay one Euro into and get a five minute shiatsu massage. It was absolute bliss and seemed to loosen up the muscles in my back considerably so I've been in search of something similar that won't break the bank ever since. Having done some research and read reviews I decided to purchase the Homedics SBM-300 from amazon.co.uk as it was quite cheap at £85.45 plus delivery. Having decided to splash out and have the guaranteed next day delivery it arrived very quickly and I eagerly opened the box. This particular model is described as a massage cushion and is able to fit to most chairs...

300 - okish

Advantages: everything
Disadvantages: everything only if you watch another film before

...I have to admit I did do something wrong when watching this film. I happened to have watched "Meet The Spartans" before I watched this, so I kind of already knew the plot and sort of seriously got bored with this film, as I was expecting the funny bits come leaping out, unfortunately there was no funny bits and it was deadly serious, so at first I couldn't understand it but then I settled down to it however I have to admit I really do prefer the soundtrack over this film! The Director of the film is Zack Snyder, who is quite a new director and has only directed 3 films, "300" "Dawn Of The Dead" (Which I really do want to watch) & "Watchmen" (Which I'm not too sure about), he is not only a director but he is also a Producer and a writer! I don't know whether he is a good director considering he has only directed this film (That I have...

Review of 300 (DVD)

300 v's How Many?????

Advantages: excellent story, amazing effects, hunky half dressed men!
Disadvantages: Bit far fetched with creatures at the end

...this news very well and kills the messenger and sets about getting his army prepared for battle. He gets an army of 300 Spartans prepared, only men who have sons are allowed to fight so that their name can continue if they were to die in battle. The 300 set off in the face of danger whole hearted and ready to defend Sparta and their king. Will the 300 be able to take on the whole of the Persian Army and just what will become of King Leonidas and Sparta? This film did not appeal to me at first but after watching t many months ago I thought I would give it another go as I understood more now about the Spartans and the Persians. The first time I watched this I was constantly asking hubby questions about who was who and why they were fighting but this time I understood all of this and it did make it much easier for me to watch...

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

Travelling compactly

Advantages: Folds up compactly, bright colours, use as a cot or play pen
Disadvantages: Thin mattress base

...~*~*~INTRODUCTION~*~*~ My mother in law wanted to buy a travel cot when my son was born as she will be looking after him when I go back to work. We looked around on the internet and when she saw the Graco compact she decided that was the one, she loved that it was nice and bright and thought my son would enjoy playing in there as well as sleeping. We ordered it from Kiddicare but unfortunately they have stopped selling it. I have since seen it on Amazon, Halfords and Ebay though for roughly the same prices. ~*~*~FEATURES~*~*~ -Suitable from birth to around 3 years. -It comes in a handy carry case, making it easy for travel. -The travel cot unfolds easily and I actually put it up in a couple of minutes on my first attempt. -The sides are mesh which is nice and soft for wriggly babies banging their heads, also...

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....
