I want to get fit with Wii Fit, and I burnt a lot of calories trying to find it!!!

I don’t know what it is about high street retail at the moment, but they never seem to have what they should or they have a display model but no actual stock!

I have been in and out of a variety of stores who should have had games for sale, but have returned home after a whole days shopping with nothing to show for it other than a grumpy other half who would rather have gone walking in the woods rather than up and down a bus lane, past hundreds of dithering old people and families who appear to be in town only to buy some fast food or a coffee!

Hello Internet!
I know that ordering on the Internet can be easy, but I have still got that little part of me that wants to hold something in my hand before buying it - but this is seemingly getting harder and harder to achieve.

You would think in today’s financial climate, that high street retailers would be clambering over themselves to stock the items people want to buy and stop wasting time and money showing customers display models of products they have no intention of ever selling you.

Well, I soon got what I wanted: My Wii Fit game - with no hassles from Game Stock Online.   The game was showing on the website, it had a picture, it had the price and it told me who actually had Wii Fit in stock! It was sooooo easy - Sold!!!!!! They got my money because they had what I wanted!!

This price comparison site says it is constantly updated with details about stockists and prices without the wasted hassle of the high street brigade! You can even subscribe to email alerts to find the best deal or another product you fancy.

So put your coat back in the closet, make a nice coffee and wait for the game to find you rather than the other way around!!

Happy New Year to everyone reading this.

Just a quick note from me to say that 2009 should be just as promising as 2008 was, and there is going to be plenty to talk about in terms of latest innovations, newest creations and technological advances to keep us on our toes!

Thanks again for joining me, and hope to see you again soon….

Regards.

Just a quick update about the National Geographic/Vattenfall competition.

It was a competition for children across Europe to come up with a great project to help combat climate change locally to them, but with international possibilities.

The winners were a group of young people from Copenhagen, Denmark who headed up the project:  Biogas: The Best Solution.

Their idea revolved around the concept of creating energy from an existing method, but by using the fuel from their local zoo.  Basically, the animal waste was burnt to create the energy needed to run the zoo itself.  A perfect circle.

The judges felt that this was ‘the most holistic’ project submitted from hundreds of entries from 21 countries.  Not only does it reduce the need for the zoo to import energy from other sources, it also plays a role in preserving the habitats needed for wildlife so that fewer species become endangered in the first place. 

The zoo already has a great reputation for helping existing endangered wildlife - and now it is helping other species before there is a problem - and it may be the model that leads other zoos and wildlife sanctuaries to do the same.

Hello again, and thanks for sticking with me here on this new blog.

So far we have covered 6 different categories with posts ranging from International Competitions to the fastest train on Earth!

Hopefully, now the site will start to expand, taking on many more exciting topics that are all new to us all - like latest inventions, as well as posts about what I have found out myself on my travels, one to include Pet Insurance.  Although it has been around for well over a decade - it’s amazing how many people still don’t know about it!  All will be revealed soon……

Thanks again for listening.
