Air Berlin
Last month I travelled with this airline on a short trip from Stansted to Palma Majorca . Judging from these journeys I reckon they must be one of the best " no frills " operators around , much better than Ryanair or Easyjet . I say no frills but they operate just like a conventional airline. You get allocated seats , a…

Soured Milk from Co-op
When I buy milk from co-ops in Bolton it seems to go off much quicker that stuff bought from anywhere else. In summer it only lasts a couple of days at most. I think it’s because although they store the milk in fridges on the shop floor, they don’t seem to have storage fridges round the back. The doors are always wide open…

Eaglemoss - Make it Groovy
I started a subscription for make it Groovy comic through Eaglemoss publications for my Daughter a year ago. I have had nothing but trouble from them, when I first signed up they took the wrong address and the dopey operator couldn't change it so I had a right run around there, they were supposed to send an inflatable…

Poorly manufactured headsets / headphones.
I travel to work on the bus - for those of you with local knowledge of the West of Scotland I travel on the x76 Cumnock --> Glasgow route. Its a great service - well done Stagecoach. I think its great nowadays that there are so many ways to listen to music / radio - be it ipods, MP3 players, freebie radios or FM radio…

Sonsorship
I have no problem with giving money to the charities that I choose. What really annoys is my colleagues who will insist on presenting me with a sponsorship form for a ‘wild and wacky’ event for a charity in which I have no interest in supporting. Generally they have managed to get a couple of people to start the form with…

Boxchoice DVD Rental
While on the subject of free trial DVD rentals - steer well clear of Boxchoice. They offer a 14 day free trial for PS2 games & DVD's, but debit your card as soon as you sign up. I cancelled within 2 days of joining, but am still waiting for a refund- that was in July 2004, I am not alone in this just do a search on the web…

Tesco Breakfasts + Clubcards too...
Anyone else use Tesco's for their cheap all day breakfasts? They've stopped doing them after 11:30am now which is very poor. Quite a few people were having a pop about it in our local one yesterday. Also, the nice new clubcards have a key fob which means you don't have to carry around your clubcard with you any more.…

Sending gifts online
Came across this site last year: http://www.ballooninabox.co.uk/ and have since used them 5 or 6 times. Everyone who receives them thinks they are very novel. Basically it is an easy gift for a bloke to buy a woman. I bought my girlfriend a balloon and some chocolates and got it sent to her work. Apparently all her work…

pointless posts and trolls
** May i advise people that we now have myself as an Abuse Controller who can be contacted in private if someone has a concern about any aspect of the board, or a grievance against any other member. Whatever the concern and evidence, posts like this only serve to cause arguements and often detract from the money saving…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATIONAL LOTTERY
I just like to wish a very happy birthday to the National Lottery and thank him for teaching me a lesson in futility. Over the last 10years I have spent at least £6 per week (£2 on the syndnicate , £2 on scratchcards and £2 on my own) That means that I have spent approximately(give or take) : £3000. From memory I have won…

People at the gym
Why do people at the gym pin their locker keys to their clothes. It's bad enough having to run next to a sweaty old chap without having to listen to his keys (which have big metal keyrings on) jangling about for an hour! Jingle jangle jingle jangle jingle jangle jingle jangle jingle jangle jingle jangle jingle jangle…

Space Kitchens-advice needed
Ladies & Gents, I received a call from my elderly Dad's neighbour informing me that she thought he had a 'salesman' in his house. I raced over there to find a rep from Space Kitchens trying to get him to buy a new fitted kitchen! The problem is that they tried this just over a year ago too...below is the communication I…
