Advantages: Interesting look back on road haulage in the 1950s Disadvantages: Not really any
Whilst wandering around the shops of Shrewsbury, we decided to look at the Scope charity shop. I noticed that they had started selling a range of new DVDs produced by a company called Delta, of Orpington in Kent. (you can contact them at 222 Cray Avenue, Orpington, Kent, BR5 3PZ or via www.deltamusic.co.uk)
Delta are marketing the films produced by the British Transport film unit. The first one I bought (I'll be going back for more!) is called 50s Road Hauling. The first film on the DVD is called Dodging the Column and was produced on 1952. (You'll note that the person who thought up the title has the same irksome habit of producing appalling punning headlines as I do. Sorry. But we just can't help it. Apparently for a time the road haulage industry was privatised, hence the British Transport Film unit and the use of the Lion ...
Advantages: Gives some comfort Disadvantages: Still a long flight!
Boots Travel pillow
On a recent long haul flight, I decided it was time to over haul some of my travelling accessories and try to make myself comfortable. A brief foray into Boots whilst buying travel bits and bobs found this travel pillow.
With visions of 9 or 10 hours of uninterrupted sleep I opened the pillow out of its quite well sealed plastic casing.
The pillow itself is a kind of grey colour and comes with a matching bag (both of them are velour finished so feel soft). The pillow itself is deflated when I get it out of the pack and when I inflate it, it is one of those shaped ones which go round your neck. It can be inflated so that it's quite big but I find it most comfortable a bit softer. Once inflated you can sit with it wrapped round your neck or lie to the side with your head on it. Whichever way you do it ...
Advantages: Snug fitment, price & ease of use. Disadvantages: Can be difficult to put on.
Jawbone, such a strange name for a bluetooth headset! I can see why they named it that but still think it's strange.
Ever since my purchase of a PS3 Back in December 2007, i've wanted a Jawbone bluetooth headset. For those who don't know what use a bluetooth headset is with a PS3, it enables you to chat to your friends and other players while in internet enabled games, as well as join chat rooms to catch up with your friends.
Having paid £20 for a cheapy one from Tesco when i got my PS3 as i wasn;'t prepared to wait i now realise the differences between good and bad heasdets. The Jawbone is truely a great headset. If i use the Tesco, unbranded one as a comparison that should give readers of this review a better picture.
I purchased mine from Ebay. Which in my opinion is the best place to get a Jawbone. Namely because ...
