Fix It Duck

Advantages: Rhythmic rhymes, great illustrations, perfect to encourage love of books
Disadvantages: none

...This is another in the very popular series of children's books which started with Duck in a Truck. Duck is one of those eternal optimistic DIYers who believes he can fix anything, and by bodging the solution only succeeds in making more things to fix! The book is written with pace and a great rhythm - and your child will soon be shouting out the regular line "This is a job for Fix-It Duck". Great illustrations and one of those few books for toddlers/preschoolers that you really do not mind repeating over and over again. My daughter loves the "Duck" series, and anything that is this much fun to share at bedtime can only encourage her to want to read more and more....

Review of Fix-It Duck - Jez Alborough

If it aint broke, dont fix it!

Advantages: Ergonomics, Comfort, Wireless
Disadvantages: A little light, No rumble! 7 pad max not 8

...I briefly mentioned this pad in my review of the PS3. When a friend of mine played the PS3 for the first time he said, "Its been how many years since the PS2 and the pad looks exactly the same!?" To me its no surprise at all, and i explained. Doesnt it prove everything about the pad is right? Sony have had so many years to think about improving it, they have trialled other designs in the run up to the release of the PS3 but in the end they new the had to stick with this design. Ergonomically its perfect! 'If it aint broke, dont fix it!' This pad is without doubt the most comfortable to use and natural feeling pad on any console! ever! Wireless: So the design is the same, but they have added the fact that this pad needs no wires. Genius! (and about time!!) Of course my first concern was "am i going to have to charge...

Review of Sony Official PS3 SIXAXIS Wireless Controller

If it ain't broke, fix it anyway

Advantages: A couple of good songs
Disadvantages: A lot of dull of noise

...Broken was the first Nine Inch Nails album to have a complimentary versions album, the rather predictably titled “Fixed”. However unlike the other versions album it’s a fairly weak effort, surely NIN’s worst release. Trent Reznor is at his most industrial on this album, crashing, squealing, screaming, clanking etc take precedence over any tune. So after that less than promising introduction, onto the tracks themselves. * Gave Up * Opening with a siren and a distorted guitar things although this is all the song does for a long time while the vocals come in. Pretty dull really. Then after over a minute of that the vocals get all broken up and a fairly dancy beat comes in and this keeps going for several minutes, somewhat expectedly the song never really lifts itself out of the dull category, which is a shame...

T-Mobile - can "U Fix" it for me?

Advantages: No surprises with bills, in control
Disadvantages: Bit of a hassle changing over/I had to chase them for a deal

...AND asked me if it was OK to call me by my first name (I like that, I don't mind being "maestrolover" rather than "Mrs Maestrolover", but it is nice and polite to be asked...) I explained my unhappiness about Relax and Mix it 50, i.e. no more customer loyalty bonus, no text messages included, price gone up, better deals elsewhere etc etc and the customer services guy quickly suggested "U Fix 50" which would come with 25 text messages too AND he'd give me the £5 customer loyalty discount for the WHOLE 12 months of the contract. So I'd only be paying £10 a month instead of £17 AND getting text messages included. Anyway, agreed this was fine but as my contract did not expire for another 2 weeks, Customer Services couldn't activate it til then, so the guy said he'd put all the info into my account details and I would only need to call up again...

Review of U-Fix T-Mobile

Don't worry - Mama will fix it

Advantages: Fun anime style graphics, good for young gamers, good for leisure gamers, very addictive
Disadvantages: Too easy for seasoned gamers, not action packed or full of puzzles

...**** Like the game, the audio is simple, clear and concise. It compliments the cartoon graphics perfectly. The way in which the mentor yells ?Don?t worry, Mama will fix it? is annoying mainly because you know that you have messed up and it is said in such a sarcastic manner. ****My opinion**** The graphics and sound really go well together and adds to a good gaming experience. Despite there being no story line or sense of purpose and it lacking depth I actually found this game really good fun to play and very addictive. I found that I was going from dish to dish trying to get a better mark each time. I also found that when I messed up a certain stage and Mama had to ?fix it? I got quite outraged and vowed to get better at that task in the next dish it was required. With this ?must do better next time? attitude I found that I was...

A patch will fix it!

Advantages: It works and hides it well
Disadvantages: Can be expensive

...Unfortunately I am a cold sore sufferer? I do get the odd attack when I am run down, stressed or when I am coming down with a cold and until Compeed came on the market I was forced to leave my herpes exposed with a mountain of white Zovirax cream on top which inevitably I ended up swallowing anyway! Compeed is a totally innovative product and if you do suffer of cold sores I would definitely suggest you to give it a go! WHAT IS COMPEED? ********** Compeed is a medicated round sticky and transparent patch that goes on your cold sore. It basically contains the same ingredients as Zovirax and by sticking on top not only does it avoid the infection to spread but also keeps the sore protected and the constant contact with the active ingredients ensures it constantly works to heal. It absorbs some of the liquids the cold sore...

Review of BigFix

where are all the hammers?

Advantages: hours of fun for young kids
Disadvantages: not enough hammers

...complex and only take a few minutes for an adult to play but I think that a child up to the age of about six or seven would get a lot of use out of it. The first screen which you see is a park view with several logs, You click on a log and write your name and choose a tool as your symbol. All your personal games are then saved in the same place so several children could save their games separately. The ten activities include: Bob's Park Planner - creating park designs adding ponds, bandstands and flowers. Skateboard Spud - Help Bob to fix the broken skakeboard track and then get Spud to perform tricks and stunts. Bob's Crazy Golf - Use Muck to go round a maze collecting crates for the crazy golf course then help Bob to play a game of golf. Farmer Pickles' Pet Corner - Help Farmer Pickles entice the escaped animals back into their...
