The Wii Fit Plus is an excellent add on, and great fun!

Advantages: fun, good for you, multiplayer
Disadvantages: none really

...The wii fit has been keeping me happy for quite a while now, but eventually when you have played and tried all the games within it eventually it gets left in a box behind the sofa, for 72 days according to my wii fit. So when i saw the Wii Fit plus was for sale I pre ordered it straight away, it gives a much needed new enjoyable boost into the what was already great wii fit. There are many extra fun things to do whilst getting fit with the Wii Fit Plus in my opinion. One of the great things is that it transfers all of your data from the wii fit easily and quickly in one click. You can now weigh your babies and pets on this. There are three new yoga moves - Spine extension, gate and grounded V. Three new Muscle workouts - Balance bridge, Side lunge and Single leg reach. However there are two new sections which I find great these are...

Review of Wii Fit Plus (Wii)

Sky Plus is a Plus

Advantages: Record, rewind, series link
Disadvantages: Expensive, bad customer service

...If you love TV then you probably love your Sky + box and if you haven't already got one you really really need to get one. For me this box is definitely a Plus with one little Minus but I will get to that later. Sky + is a personal video recorder that allows the user to record, pause and instantly rewind live TV. It works in conjunction with a Sky television subscription. It was launched in September 2001 and in February 2008 Sky announced that over 3 million households now have a Sky + box. Sky + is such a benefit to have. You access all the features of the recorder through your Sky + remote. Recording - Sky + allows you to record any programme that you like. It is very simple to do. You do not have to set any timers or set up any video tapes, etc, the show is saved as hardware on the Sky box. Basically you search through...

Review of Sky + (Plus)

Reach for the Sky ( Plus of course)

Advantages: We watch what we want when we want
Disadvantages: None for me

... SKY PLUS Move over sliced bread, there's a new kid on the block! From now on I will describe things that are good,as the best thing since Sky Plus! I'm of an age to have been around for the first of the Ferguson video players (as so wonderfully described by the brilliant Peter Kay). There was no remote control- you had to walk over to the machine to do all the recordings, and the amount of times we settled down to watch a film my better (?!?) half had recorded only to find a recording of something completely different. My goodness didn't we think we were something, with our mock leather video covers that held recordings of Corrie and the likes! But know videos and video recorders are a thing of the past and will soon be appearing on the Antiques Roadshow. The advent of recording onto DVD seemed to...

SHOPPING FOR PLUS SIZE CLOTHING *UPDATED*

Advantages: all the clothes shops bigger people can shop in, all in one handy guide
Disadvantages: there just aren't enough of them

...- I admit that's still generous sizing, but for someone like me, it's still nowhere near. Now I'm a size 26, many other shops are open to me, and I am counting the days until I fit into a 20-22, as that seems to be the magic number where outsize clothing is concerned. Until then, please enjoy my guide to shopping for clothes if you're plus size/outsize/well built/a larger lady/a BBW/rubenesque and any of the other ridiculous terms people have given to us for years - we're FAT, but we still need to wear clothes. N.B. I actually asked for this to be added as a category, but can't see it being added to be honest, so here it is in the Ciao café instead, where it probably belongs. *2nd update* - I'm now that much longed for 18-20, so I'm trying to update each shop as I manage to go there again. Please bear with me while I do this...

Review of Everything that starts with P ...

Size Matters

Advantages: Sharp, funny and informative
Disadvantages: Made me crave fast food

...Having heard that two obese teenagers were suing McDonald?s for making them fat, film-maker Morgan Spurlock decided to see what would happen if he ate nothing but McDonald?s food and drink, three meals a day for thirty days. ?Super Size Me? is the result. The idea for ?Super Size Me? came to director Spurlock after an enormous Thanksgiving meal at his mother?s house. His producer said that it was ?a really great bad idea? and the rest, as they say is history. The rules of engagement were simple; Spurlock could only eat and drink items available over-the-counter at McDonald?s, he had to eat three meals a day from the chain, he had to eat everything on the menu at least once and if he was offered the chance to super size his meal, he had to accept. Thankfully he wasn?t stumbling blindly into this endeavour ? he had a back-up team...

Review of Super Size Me (DVD)

Sky Plus

Advantages: Too many to mention
Disadvantages: I don't know, not as yet.

...Last year I visited a member of the family and while sitting in their front room chatting, I noticed their rather large TV to which I made a comment. However the reply I got was not so much about the TV, but the Sky plus box underneath. They raved about it," Got to get one". I thought big deal, so it records TV; I've got a VCR at home does the same thing. Until I rang Sky about renewing my contract some months ago and they offered me Sky plus at a reduced rate, to which I took. Installation came round quite quick, in a matter of weeks. Although I had the old system, he still put in a new dish and wiring with the minumum of fuss. One of the things did noticed was that as it raining outside, the engineer put on these plastic covers over his shoes so as not to cause any mess on my flooring. Well, we've had this Sky plus for a few...

Review of Sky + (Plus)

On The Plus Side

Advantages: cheap, smells great, nice presentation case
Disadvantages: some men may prefer something more masculine

...I was bought Diesel Zero Plus Masculine for Christmas last year. The Price Although this was bought, I had a quick look around and have found out that a 75ml bottle, it will set you back only £10 which is extremely reasonable considering most aftershaves are around £30. The Packaging Diesel Zero Plus Masculine comes with really unique, eye catching packaging. It has a perspex dome which sits on the base. The base then has two raised plastic sections, which allows the bottle to the wedged in place. There is a clamp on the spray section at the top to stop the bottle being sprayed accidentally which is quite useful to save any wastage. The bottle itself is a bright red colour, with a silver top. Diesel is written in big silver letters on the front of the bottle along with the usual info such as size etc. The Smell This...

Review of Diesel Zero Plus Eau De Toilette Spray for Him

Does size matter?

Advantages: great graphics and gameplay
Disadvantages: poor sound

...Back in 2002, a game was created that has never really been seen before. The game combined the longevity and puzzle elements of a platformer, with the firepower of a shooter. Ratchet and clank was born, and the series of games since have never really deviated from the original blueprint. At the end of the day, if a thing isn't broke, then why fix it? So, our favourite (and only.) lombax, and robot duo are back, for one more outing. What exactly a lombax is, I dont know but the closest thing I could compare him to is a fox. Size matters, is the first time that the duo have ventured onto the portable consoles. I can say that the conversion has been a happy one, and none of the fun or excitment of its big console twins has been lost. In this installment, our two heroes are on the beach, on holiday. A young girl fan finds them...

Review of Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters (PSP)

Is Size Important?

Advantages: Great photos and lots of educational values.
Disadvantages: See review.

...- The Book - This is a non-fiction book and as the name suggests it's focus is on size and the associated vocabulary: * big and small - This double page shows 2 ?big? things, an elephant and a skyscraper, adjacent to which are many photos of small things such as paper clips, grapes, buttons, marbles etc. * big, bigger, biggest - Chilldren are invited to draw comparisons between three living things from a big toucan to the biggest out of the three, a hippo. * small, smaller, smallest - Again there are photos of animals and objects, varying in size from small to the smallest. * tall and short - The concept of tall and short is then introduced on a double page with a photo of a tall giraffe next to a short dog and a tall sunflower next to short daisies etc. It would have been even better if the author had extended this...

Review of Sizes (Lift-the-Flap) - Anne S. A. Millard

Latina Size into your favourite dress

Advantages: You do tone up
Disadvantages: You need a good space to perform the routines properly

...Well at the start of the year I promised myself instead of talking about toning up I would actually this time do something about it....surprisingly I did and I feel great. One of the tools I used in my bid to shape up and get fit for Summer was the brilliant Latina Size dvd. As a fan of Strictly Come Dancing I thought this would be a fun way to shape up (and I liked the idea of learning some moves!). The dvd is broke down into 5 sections: Simply Salsa, Rumba Tone, Jump 'n' Jive, Cha Cha Burn and Sambasize. Each one targets a different part of your body so you can alternate depending on what you want to work out. I got into the routine of focusing on the Jump 'n' Jive sections at least twice a week to help tone the dreaded thighs! There is also a warm up and cool down section. Lilia's goes through all the moves first showing...
