Football Penalty Shoot Out (DVDi)

Advantages: Novelty factor only
Disadvantages: Very limited game play

...My 7 year old son begged for this for Christmas from about November onwards. It was heavily advertised on TV and he is a total football nut! We didn't actively look for this until end of November and then the race was on. Most high street stores didn't stock it and ones that did had run out of stock and didn't know when the next lot would be in. We scoured the internet for it and finally found it online and paid £19.99 + £4.50 P&P. Now the question is was it worth it!! My son's face on Christmas day was a picture when he realised he'd got it and we eagerly plugged it into the TV (there is a scart plug and an AV plug) put in the 4 AA batteries and off we all went. It is a bit like a dance mat, you use your foot to select the game option and then you pass your foot over the sensor area (looks live a football) and hopefully score... Read review

...Shoot is one of those games where a lot of money can be won, or lost, on the turn of a card and in the absence of money, us skint mortals have to use tokens. Any number of people can play but if more than about 7 or 8 play, it can get tedious waiting for your turn, especially if you have been losing and in that round everybody else seems to be winning.

Thus three aces are not guaranteed to win if the dealer turns up a suit that you do not have. I'll leave you to work out the odds.

Advantages: Handy sized bottle, looks good!!
Disadvantages: Not very tasty at all.

...I came across these orange and peach fruit shoots in my local shop, two packs of four bottles for £2.09, not bad hey!! They come in these flavours as far as I know ,Orange, Orange and peach and Blackcurrant and apple. The reason I was getting these is that my step daughter was off to kentwell hall and they said if it was hot to pack the children up with plenty of drink for the day so she took four drinks with her. Packaging The little Orange bottles came in a pack of four with a cardboard sleeve holding them together. The bottle has a clear lid on the top and a white stopper in the top with two holes in to drink out of once you have pulled it up. The actual lid that screws onto the bottle is blue. The label has Robinsons fruit shoot peach and orange written on the front in white with green edging, there are also slices... Read review
