Great looks - poor performance - Nike Tiempo SGT Gloves

Advantages: Stunning looks, very comfortable.
Disadvantages: Very poor grip

...Since being young I have been borderline obsessed with goalkeeper gloves. In my late teens and early 20's I was buying up to 8 pairs of gloves a season. Outrageous, yes maybe, but I was hooked with the feel and optimism that a new pair of gloves would bring. My mates bought boots by the, er, boot load, I however always opted for gloves. Imagine then my disappointment with this purchase. They look the absolute part, having an excellent colour scheme and that massive Nike tick, reassurance usually of a well-made product. I fell for these gloves immediately and parted with something in the region of £65 for them. I had made a mistake. The main problem with these gloves is the foam. 4mm latex palms are what you would expect from professional quality gloves, but by my own admission the SGT technology was an intriguing concept...

Review of Nike Tiempo Premier SGT Goalkeepers Gloves

No serious goalkeeper should be wearing anything but fingersaves!

Advantages: Protection from breaks and increased control
Disadvantages: Can be a bit strange at first if not used to fingersaves but easy to adapt to!

...I thought I would write this review as I have had a great experience with this product. I'm no professional, though play football at a respectable level and consider myself to be a promising young goalkeeper. I had never bothered with fingersave gloves before I broke my index finger in a game last year. I decided following it's recovery that I should invest in a pair of fingersave gloves. I must admit I had my reservations about these in particular with respect to mobility. I thought the bending of the fingers would be restricted too much but I was wrong. I invested in a pair of these and they have been brilliant, no problems whatsoever. If there is anyone out there not wearing fingersave gloves, then invest in a pair, because you only need to break a finger that refuses to heal properly and you've got problems. These gloves...

Review of Adidas Fingersave Replique Goalkeepers Glove

Natural Rubber Gloves.

Advantages: A good quality product that is durable.
Disadvantages: None.

...Rubber gloves are not on my list of favourite things to buy, I rarely wear them for anything else other cleaning drains or unblocking sink traps. But saying that I always keep a pair in my cupboard for dealing with those unforeseen emergencies. Getting the right type of rubber gloves can be tricky, some are so flimsy that they tear on their first outing, others can be so thick that you cannot feel your fingers and if you manage to buy the right size first time around then you are a far better woman than I am. The cheap rubber gloves are very hit and miss, they invariably have no lining and will end up damaging the skin on your hands. I find that the supermarket own brands often make my hands sweat so when I take the glove off my skin looks wrinklier than ever. Pay a little more for a pair of rubber gloves and you seem to get...

Little Tikes Junior Activity Gym

Advantages: sturdy, strong, robust, attractive, compact
Disadvantages: difficult to assemble, not as much fun as it could be

...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Little Tikes Junior Activity Gym ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Most crèches or children?s play areas seem to have one of these activity gyms and they looked bright and colourful so we decided to get one for my brothers first birthday. The activity gym as shown in the picture is made up of four side panels, each with holes in for the child to climb through. There is a small bright pink slide and a blue floor, which the children can go under or climb on to go down the slide. As we unpacked the activity gym it looked relatively simple to assemble, as it was really just a case of slotting the panels together but don?t be fooled! It was not at all easy to assemble although the only consolation is that if it was that difficult to put together its going to be near impossible for it to fall apart! The brightly...

Review of Little Tikes Junior Activity Gym

They Fit Just Like A Glove.

Advantages: Provides relief and protects hands.
Disadvantages: Not widely available on the high street. Need to come in other sizes.

...moved as much. When it is on our hands it is not as easy because they are being used all the time, and if the skin is dry it is more likely to crack. So I try very hard to take extra care of my hands during the winter months, and I'm always on the lookout for anything that will help to protect my hands to avoid my them from becoming dry and sore. Prevention is always better than cure. In the cold winter months when I'm out and about walking I wear gloves to keep my hands warm and to protect them from the harsh elements. This helps prevent my hands from drying more. However wearing regular gloves in the house limits the movement in my hands, and makes certain tasks difficult. One winter when my hands were suffering quite a bit, I went into my local chemist to ask for advice, to see what would be best to use on my hands to keep...

Junior: The intellectual parenting magazine

Advantages: Lots of articles, full of information, gorgeous photography
Disadvantages: Expensive

...I have always seen this magazine in WH Smith whenever I go to pick up the other parenting magazines I buy every month, but to be honest I have never paid that much attention to it. I saw an advert on a website I belong to which said to ring a number and you get a free issue of Junior and then a further 3 issues for just £1. I couldn't resist and then the next month, my first ever issue of Junior dropped onto my doormat. The first thing I noticed was the quality of the magazine itself. The cover is lovely and glossy, and all of the pages inside are very thick and have that expensive look to them, you can tell this is a magazine aimed more towards the upper class reader (I'm not being a snob, just my opinion!). The cover has the work JUNIOR across the top in bright colours (This varies according to the colour scheme of the issue...

Review of Junior

Oilatum Junior for children (and parents too!)

Advantages: Works wonders on dry skin! Available on prescription
Disadvantages: Expensive,

...When your child develops a rash, its every parents natural instinct to worry. So when my 6 month old daughter developed a patchy red rash all over her body, i took her straight to the doctors. Luckily it turned out to be eczema, but even this can cause serious discomfort to an adult, let alone a young child. This was when the doctor recommended Oilatum Junior bath formula. I was already familiar with the Oilatum range, as i had used the adult version myself a few years earlier. So, after the appointment, i went straight to Boots and bought a 300ml bottle for £8.99 (take note that it does come in a variety of sizes). Yes, this is a little expensive, but hey, wouldnt we all pay the earth for our childrens well being? PRODUCT INFORMATION: The key ingredient in this forumla is liquid parrafin, which acts as an barrier to prevent...

Review of Oilatum Junior

It's all the Buzz ... junior!

Advantages: Great fun for children and family
Disadvantages: None from us

...Dinosaur game and saw that it required the Buzz game remotes. We have them so there was no problem there. I decided as the game was for sale for £12 that I would take a gamble and see if he enjoyed it. After all it was labelled as Buzz Junior and worst case scenario he plays it once and never looks at it again. He returned from school and was very excited to have a game of his own. We set it up and got the controllers out. The buzzers are colour coded and thus makes starting and playing the game rather easy. At the time he wasn't able to read so I had to read the setup screens to him and he would press the right buttons. Before playing the games you have to answer a couple questions such as which colour (blue, green, yellow and orange) dinosaur you want to be, name, easy medium or hard and then off you go. You can also pick from four different...

Review of Buzz! Junior: Dino Den (PS2)

That little Extra Strength

Advantages: Excellent support for fingers, good grip, good punch
Disadvantages: None that I can find so far

...You've had those days in goal, where you've dived long, landed hard, got your fingers to the ball as it was flashing by and you think "YES...what a save!", unfortunately your fingers didn't quite hold up and it snuck into the corner.... Well no more, when I found these gloves this season, I was immediately taken by them, the shop didn't have my size, didn't know when they would get some more, so I took one size smaller and they've worked out well. The strengthened strips in the back of each finger serve several purposes : 1. They add strength to your fingers when making saves that require that "fingertip" touch 2. They stop your fingers being bent back and injured on all parts of your hand 3. They give some protection for stubbing your finger on the ball and from doing damage to your finger tips. Punching is...
