Advantages: keep the kids happy Disadvantages: they won't take them off
...I bought my daughter a pair of Heelys for Christmas just gone.
This girl has had everything that is new to the market - portable dvd's, PSP, i-pods you name it, she's got it....or lost it!
Heelys were at the top of must have list of gifts for christmas and I must say, I just didn't get it - it would seem that I is no longer down wid da kidz!
A pair of rather cheap and ugly looking trainers (although not cheap - about £70) with a removal wheel in the heel - for gods sake don't get the ones with two wheels in the heel - apparently they are for dorks and babies!
Every so often I have to hold my hands up and admit I was wrong. this is one of those occasions. I was pretty sure that they would be dumped under the stairs by Boxing Day next to all the other latest things.
They are still glued to her feet almost 4 months later...

Desperate times calls for desperate measures, and having seen the state of some of the people after the rides, these were indeed desperate times.
The poncho is very lightweight and could be used as the tube describes, as emergency rainwear- never get caught out in the rain again. I somehow can't see me wearing this or carrying it around with me "just in case" but at the time I needed it, it was excellent. The Viking ride was indeed a very wet one but I managed to come out of it relatively unscathed. Also, by putting my bag on my knee, under the poncho, things like my camera and phone were not damaged.
One down side is the fact that because it is very thin, it will tear very easily. In fact, two...

...Omigod, where to begin??? Having begged ciao to add the new Chopper to their product listing, FINALLY I get to review my best purchase of 2004 (and we're only half way through!!!!)
It all started way back when........in the early seventies some cool people decided it would be a good idea to make a bike for kids that was completely impractical but the HEIGHT of fashion, TA-DA....The Mark I Chopper! 'Ape-hanger' handle bars, one 'L' shaped seat and the coolest gear changer on the frame, you had ever seen! California Highway Patrol eat your heart out!
Then it was slightly 'tweaked' and re vamped a little several years later, as 'The Mark II Chopper' (no offence to Expert Chopper restorers but I can't see a huge difference between them!!!) These bikes were the joy of every child who was lucky enough to get their little mitts on them...
