Yes they are fantastic. Ours distracts the boshlette for hours meaning i can sneak out for a natty little interval session on the turbo of a short hill ride without gettting nagged for it! As for the fitness side, she continues to get bigger with age so i dont reckon its working in real terms! (dont tell her i said that)

Superb - I am outstanding on the ski slalom and heading football ones.

I got into trouble as I did not do a wii me. I just signed on using other players, and so naffed up the top ten lists, annoying the serious officionados.

So they made me a wii me, but now I will not play, because my wii me looks like such a grumpy hundred year old fart.

We are investigating the Wii Fit at uni at the moment, just looking at whether it has any benefits to health and physical activity and if it can be used to replace other forms of activity, really interesting. Ill report back when we are done!

Investigating..I like it, are you also studying the correlation between alcohol consumption and the attractiveness of the opposite sex and the health benefits of not waking until 11.30am as well? Ah I'm not bitter...just jealous, keep up the good work!!!

My kids have thoroughly benefited from the use of the wii, they just love the tennis. They also love the TDF game on the PS2, this also keeps them fit!(and quiet). But I do fear them becoming rotund little tikes, like those kids in desperate housewives. (that was for the female members of the forum...or maybe not!)

I had to be at lectures or practicals at 9.00 am every day at college, and we didn't finish till 5.00pm.

It was fantastic! Beer/Cider/Campari was cheap or free when I got a job in the bar. 3 large, cheap meals a day, and a nice big bedroom for not much money.

I'm jealous too, though i appreciate its more expensive now.

Unfortunately I studied Horticulture, so there weren't too many women, next time, in my next life, it will be drama.
