SB is running a poll to find the best blogs on the internet. You can vote here.

I'm currently neck and neck with Mitch Benn in the wittiest blog category. Mitch Benn is great, I'll be happy to lose to him, unless the prize is something I want, like wodges of cash, my own personal train or some of those new penguin trousers.

I think I should probably just walk away from the penguin trouser trend. Unless I bought some, then I'd have to waddle away. Boom Boom.

In other news, I'm loving the WiiFit. I've been whooping about like a tit on it almost every night this week and I'm really enjoying it. It would never occur to me to go and jog for 10 minutes, but for some reason, chasing a virtual dog in the privacy of my living room is something to really look forward to.

I find it a little strange that every time I do an activity, there are the faces of all the little Mii's people who've used my machine have created. Doing step classes with my entire family, all my brother's friends, James May, Cliff Richard and the bloke with the mullet & tash from my local Sommerfield is rather strange.

The yoga balance games are fun too. Every morning for 30 years I've raised one leg to put in my tights or trousers and fallen over, then done the same with the other leg. This week, because of my Wii yoga practice, I only fell over twice.

Seriously, why did nobody invent this before? Spending an hour every evening practising standing on one leg to prevent those dozy morning trouser tumbles is a brilliant idea. Worth every penny. And cheaper than that large-framed instant-trousering device I nearly bought a few years ago from the innovations catalogue.

I want a Wii. I can't justify the expense, but I want one.

Got to agree with you about Wii Fit, I'm having tons of fun even though it keeps telling me my balance is crap and basically I have the fitness level of a middle-aged woman.

Also, did you know there is a whole set of books about you??

I've got a couple of those books - apparently they make good presents for me!

My WiiFit age is a year below my actual age, which I'm smug about, because it decided Mr W was a lot older than his actual age!
