Was wondering if any of you have one of these, or have tried one.
The Two-Wheel Electric Smart Self Balance Scooter, or as it's often called a Hoverboard.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Delivery-Upg...0_SR160%2C160_

There are tons of them about.
Was watching a person on one on TV last night and am fascinated.

I don't have one or know anyone that has one. I'd love to have a go!

Good Morning Everyone.:+))))))))))))))))

Only 12C here with cloud wind rain and sun, quite a mixed bag.

Good morning.



Dry and quite mild here, temps reaching 15c by about midday when we've been forecast to have a shower or two. All in all a very pleasant autumn morning. Scarey news about the storm suffered by south-west Mexico.

Have a good weekend all.
Morning Eddy.:+))))))))))))))

It's a bit warmer there then,.

That is dreadful, the strongest Hurricane ever, wow, scary.
Hope too many people aren't hurt.
I don't have one or know anyone that has one. I'd love to have a go!
I fancy a go myself, you don't need a licence either, it would be great in my bungalow as it's all flat inside, imagine the fun.
Will have to save up i defo want one.

It's a lot cheaper than i thought it would be, compare it to the price of a Segway.

*Moots enters looking thoughtfully depressed*

hello all

Riiiight guys - I read about this somewhere the other day, showing how to look your best in a selfie:
Drop your head, pout your lips, and raise your eyebrows

I've just tried that in front of the mirror and can only be thankful that the wind didn't change and I wasn't stuck like that foreverrr. maybe it is because my eyebrows go like this :

~ ~
also, having recently developed a little double chin doesn't help at all...


There was a similar case here about a year ago when a three year old was left behind after the nursery shut early.

Why are Swedes (or turnip,neep, depending on location) so small these days? We used to carve them in the days before pumpkins but you would have a job to find one large enough to be worth it these days.

Also... When those stall holders that sell "wonder knives" and "super peelers" start whizzing through large turnips with them, thats the day I will buy one! Strangely, they never seem to have them on the table, do they?
I always get sucked into buying one of these, or rather I did, until I realised that you need the strength of a man to make them work properly....
Good Afternoon Eddy.:+)))))))))))))))))))

I have the sun here, hope it's nice by you, lots of wind though.


Hi Moots,
will have to do some enquiring, they will never run out of nutters.


Hi Honey.

Would you do the challenges? i know i wouldn't.

Thats an easy mistake, they thought the child was a doll.
oh, of course, DUH! In that case they shouldn't be anywhere near a nursery. I don't think dolls that size are available in a nursery for little children, and they usually tend to be expensive collectors' items.

A shop in the city centre here was selling these - fascinating! I was tempted until I remembered that I tend to fall over a lot just walking! Also, what would I do with my trusty shopping trolley??

You can't be serious?

They must be or they wouldn't have thought the child was a doll.

I don't think a shopping trolley would matter, not sure what you mean

Hello all

eeeeek I am being circled by 5 hungry chihuahuas wondering where their 3.30pm meal is. The other one hasn't dragged herself out of her bed to face the day yet....

very sad news, such a brave young woman. I was just wondering how she was the other day... She did so much more in her short life than seemed possible, and she raised £7000000 for children with terminal illnesses.

RIP Kirsty
Hi Moots.:+))))))))))))))

I don't think a shopping trolley would matter, not sure what you mean
people who think a living breathing child is a doll have no business working in a nursery

I can't see me zooming around on one of those machines, lugging my trusty shopping trolley behind me can you? maybe I could do it if I dipped my head, raised my eyebrows and pouted, though...

You cant use them on pavements, so what's the point?

I imagine it might try even Mrs (saint) Hicky's patience to have you flying around the house and doing wheelies in front of the tv?

how much are they? Is that the scooters?

Maybe Sholley will design one that we can just sit on and float through the crowds?

Do you feed the little people at precise times? *impressed smiley*

Now there's an idea, Honey!

I usually manage to feed them at set times, unless I have gone out. I'm trying to give them their tea a bit later than 3.30, because they start pestering for biscuits at about 8.30

Evening guys - just popped in to say hello, so 'hello'

We've had some lovely days lately, although the changing of the clocks has made the afternoons seem much shorter.

I've been de-constructing pots and baskets - I still don't have the greenhouse I was promised huff huff so have found places indoors for the cuttings to over winter.

Hicky I'd love to see you zooming around the house on your motorised skateboard!!

Hello JoJo and all

I should be putting all my hostas to bed for the winter, but I just haven't had the time. They do much better if overwintered in the garage rather than outside.

I see the BBC is planning to inflict a whole series on us just showing wild animals hunting and killing other animals.

I guess this is a tiny step up from people enjoying watching wild animals killing humans in an arena 2000 years ago...
I used to enjoy wildlife programmes, until they introduced a strong content of animal-on-animal carnage. Now I don't dare watch in case I see some horrific sight of animals being disembowelled.

Who actually ENJOYS watching this sort of thing, and won't watching Jekyll and Hyde on ITV be enough for them?.

ABOLISH THE LICENCE FEE!!!!

Not too bad a day here, 13C anyway, lots of cloud for most of the day, windy as well.

Hi JoJo.:+))))))))))))))))

Yes, short afternoons now, have wrapped all the tree tubs in 3ply bubble wrap.

Pity you didn't get the greenhouse, maybe one day.

Not sure O/H would be impressed with me zooming around the house, the 2 main doors between the hall, dining room and kitchen are swing doors so that would be handy, have have safety glass panels so you can see through the door.

I'm sure they just want to show the animals in the wild the way they are so people understand what life is like for them.

Also if noone was interested they wouldn't be showing it surely.
It's probably done more for the young so they can see the reality of the wild, the grownups should already be aware.

at least i don't have to pay a license fee.

Hi there Hicky. Good morning everyone.

A lovely mild morning and quite sunny to. Forecasts say that temps will rise to 18c in London by lunchtime. Not sure if I believe that but we will see. Have a good day all.

You are lucky, should be a reasonable day then.

Mind you it's not bad here, only 13C of course but it could be worse.

I don't blame you, it really is off putting when your watching a wildlife doc and it suddenly has a scene of gory violence, yes we know that nature is like that and not all cuddly and cute but it is still not something you want to watch

Hello all

sorry I sounded a bit like Victoria Meldrew last night.... I just know that when I was a kid, if I had seen the degree of gore, violenc and sex that is shoved in our faces today, I would be a gibbering wreck.

In my youth I read one Roald Dahl book (something about witches as I recall) and I was petrified and not in a good way at all. The story haunted me for months. I think it is rubbish saying that chldren love violence and gore.
