Welcome To Lazy Town

Advantages: Great Fun and strong messages being sent to kids.
Disadvantages: None

...For anyone that has kids would know about Lazy town and for anyone that does not have kids think your self's very lucky. The new kids show that has lively music that also is annoying and sticks in your head for days. You can't watch a show without singing to at least one song. Though the best thing about this kids show is that it helps towards eating healthy and bans junk food. Lazy Town Well for anyone that does not know by now here is a quick recap about the show and about the characters. Lazy Town. For me this has to be one of the best shows that my kids watch. I like the fact that they are promoting healthy eating and getting active. Though don't except your kids to start eating fruit and veg immediately. My son does not and has not done since he was weaned. Though he has got a tad...

Review of LazyTown - Various Artists

Toy Town

Advantages: a pretty town in the south of Germany
Disadvantages: none for a one-day tourist

...only go as far as the Cathedral Square, but I didn?t notice any locals, either. No human voices, no barking dogs, no blaring radio was to be heard. It was around 2 pm, I can only assume that the inhabitants had already had their lunch and were lying on their sofas for their digestion nap. I thought that seen from above, for example from the steeple of the Cathedral onto which one can climb and then step out onto an open balcony and look down (only writing about this makes me dizzy), or appropriately from a zeppelin Konstanz must look like a toy town. And then I was standing at the bank of the river Rhine which comes from Switzerland, flows through Lake Constance and goes on being a German river until it flows into the North Sea in the Netherlands. I crossed the bridge which is located exactly at the spot where the Rhine leaves...

Review of Constance (Germany)

No - I'm Sportacus!

Advantages: A serious message delivered in a way children will love
Disadvantages: Cheesy music which stays in your head all day!

...Anyone who doesn't have small children and isn't subjected to kids TV at regular intervals probably isn't familiar with recent Icelandic import, LazyTown. But if you haven't heard of it yet, you soon will! This kids programme is set to be The Next Big Thing, jumping on the Jamie Oliver bandwagon of promoting health and fitness at an early age. And why not - with our ever increasing levels of childhood obesity, someone's got to do it. And in Lazy Town, that someone is superhero Sportacus. But I'm getting ahead of myself! This series of programmes is a strange blend of puppetry (only the 3 main characters are human!), garishly coloured scenery and annoyingly catchy Europop-style music. This new DVD tells the story of 8 year old Stephanie, our vivacious pink haired heroine, who comes to live in Lazy Town with her uncle, the rather...

Review of Lazy Town - Lazy Town

Mr Lazy

Advantages: Fun short book
Disadvantages: Small writing

...Mr Lazy is number 17 in the Mr Men collection. He is a funny shaped character and is pink in colour. I would describe his shape as a 'n' shape. He wears a little blue bowler hat. The cover of the book is white with a picture of Mr Lazy sleeping at the bottom and the title above this in black lettering. The back cover of the book is also white and has smaller pictures showing the other characters available in the collection. THE STORY At the start of the book we are told a bit about Mr Lazy, we learn that he lives in Sleepyland, which is a very lazy town. In Sleepyland even the birds fly slow, sometimes they fly so slow they fall from the sky. The grass only needs cutting once every year as it grows so slow and even the trees are lazy looking and everyone who lives in Sleepyland stays in bed until the afternoon. The clocks go so...

Review of Mr Lazy - Roger Hargreaves

The Toys Are Back In Town...

Advantages: Excellent CGI rendering
Disadvantages: A bit predictable

...Toy Story was a big cinema hit in 1995 that boasted some fine computer generated imagery. The film contains the voice talents of Tom Hanks and Tim Allen. The film gives you the idea that when you're not watching, your toys come alive (well it's a wild idea but not easy to prove wrong) A six-year-old boy named Andy has a vast array of toys. His favourite toy, Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks), a wooden, pull string cowboy, is the take charge room leader. But after Andy's birthday party, a new toy is around. Enter Buzz Lightyear (voiced by Tim Allen), a flashy space ranger action toy with karate chop retractable wings and a 'laser beam' (a little light bulb that blinks). The other toys all accept his arrival, but not Woody. naturally as a result a rivalry becomes apparent over which of the two toys is Andy's favourite. the only difference...

Review of Toy Story (DVD)

The Toys are Back in Town

Advantages: Suitable for everyone
Disadvantages: None - this is a great film

...Toy Story 2. Better than the first? YES! How is that possible? No sequels are ever better than the original! Well, it appears that once again, the Disney, along with Pixar Productions, has broken the boundaries. Again... **~~WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?~~** Toy Story 2 features the same gang of toys belonging to Andy. It starts in outer space as Buzz races through the atmosphere trying to save the world (after all, he IS the most famous space ranger around). His aim: to defeat Zurg - his sworn enemy. During a shoot-out with Zurg, Buzz's head gets blown off! Oh no! But it's OK, it's just a video game tha Rex has been playing. Phew. That how the film opens and it just gets funnier and funnier. Rex is soooo funny in the film - he's a total dumbass and so sweet with it! Buzz and Woody get on now, in all Andy's stories they save...

Review of Fisher-Price Lazy Town Super Sportacus Set

Very lazy, but very mild too .

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...I eat quite a lot of garlic - I love to cook rich pasta sauces, and they are alwasy heavily laden with garlic . The problem I have though, is garlic, like onions, makes me cry when chopping it . It also makes my hands smell very strongly of garlic, which takes a lot of washing to get rid of . So, a jar of pre-chopped garlic seemed like the ideal solution to my problems , and on a trip to my supermarket I found just the right product - Very Lazy Garlic from the English Provender Company. The jar is very simple, clear glass with a black lid and a black label, proclaiming the product name - Very Lazy Garlic- across the front, and also informing us that the garlic is preserved in a white wine vinegar . It cost me £1.80 for a 200g jar. I was a little concerned that the taste of the vinegar would come out in my food when cooking, especially...
