I only found this out yesterday.

I think they are the biggest load of bollocks going and you have to be some kinda twat to get on a fuckin' electric trolley dolly and ponce down the street on em, they look so incredibly fucking stupid it's unbelievable. I mean i wouldn't mind one as just something in my garden to fuck around with but the idea of these prats going around the fuckin' streets on em, thinkin' they look well cool, it's like 'what the fuck are you like?!?'

[Chris1989]

Cops that use Segways in the mall are just the most stupid looking people.

[Len Cnut]

I fuckin' worry for the 'new man', i really do, poncing about on those fuckin' monstrosities, little man-bag and guyliner on, little tight man-leggings squashing their nadgers

I call 'em

"The Youngers"

sill.

I only worry about them and all this new hip hop through auto tune...

But it's their music/auto tune, and if they want it, they want it...

Segways & 'Hoverboards' I see as natural human progression.

Segways are the next best thing for the fat and lazy. Eat more, move less.

They should destroy those things

It's strange because it's mostly urban kids who are buying these things and thinking it's cool. Aside from center city, i see them most in the "worse" neighborhoods of the city. And I recently found out they go for $300-$700, I really don't get it, it just looks fucking stupid.

[Len Cnut]

Probably if i was a kid and you proposed the idea i'd love it, ride it into walls and make little ramps and launch the local divvy kid off of it but as a utility, as a functional thing it is patently ridiculous.

I wanna have a go on one now

The UK is bonkers/fucked up.

We need a kue because;

1. David Cameron;

• Tried to take my internet porn this one time. (Which was just one time too many)!
• Fucked a pig...

Marijuana remains illegal in Croydon DESPITE Amsterdam in the NL having legal recreational weed for all, even visitors.

- So anyone who tells you that pot is bad, you could tell them to go fuck themselves and remind them of Amsterdam or the state of Colorado etc...

Foreign companies coming to Britain hiring other foreign migrants to work at their foreign company then telling people Brits don't want to work.

Now the powers that be in the UK want to go a step further and make Segways illegal?

I don't listen to the PM anymore, the UK's not right.

Never heard them. Are these used by effeminate Londoners?

[spunko12345]

I saw a kid on one the other day, I said to my missus that I'd love to have a go on one, she quite rightly pointed out that I'd go arse over tit and probably end up breaking my back. I still want a go though. Hopefully my nephew or cousin will get one for christmas.

I remember when skateboards arrived in the 1980s, back when Bart Simpson and Turtles and the ''cool cowabunga dude'' American culture had just appeared. Every child wanted one but nobody could use one because we were British basically and British people are incapable of skateboarding so our solution was to lie on it chest downwards like an inflatable in a swimming pool and sort of, use our legs and go around the streets. This lasted about two days before everyone chucked it in the cupboard to keep company with the soda stream - or just let it rot away outside which is what I did.

100% true

[Chris1989]

Spot on. I have lost skin every time I have gone near a skateboard, and I would like to put that down to being British rather than totally uncoordinated and unskilled.

I hate self hating Brits... Instead of making this country great, they believe they're numptys... Well I am Snake-Pit and I didn't ask to be born or ask to be British, but since I am and I am pretty much perfect/flawless/stupendous on every level, then so can you be. Am I right? Or am I right?

Point is; Believe in yourselves Assholes...

What is this all about? I'm self-loathing because I cannot skateboard like everyone else in this country? Well I wouldn't expect a yank to play an exquisite cover drive or make a decent cup of tea. God in his infinite wisdom did not make Englishmen in the shape of Americans.

I thought it was Dunkin' Donuts, America's dependency on cars and drive-thru fast food and drive-thru ATM machines that made Americans that shape...

This lasted about two days before that episode of 999 when some kid was stupid enough to do this and they had to rush his ass to hospital in a helicopter to save his life, and something about it being in the cupboard to keep my sodastream company because I bought one and then found out for whatever reason, carbonating my own soda out of some ridiculous mixers wasn't the best of ideas... - let's just let it rot away outside because apparently I'm white trash and I do that; which is what I did.

ftfy

It's all a joke, though trust me, I am serious. lol Just don't try and **** with me and we're all cool, Bro'.
