I do think mumsnet needs its own "buggy" section

nope. Tis basically those that play the word game chatting to each other

i thought it was a thread about wheelybugs or perhaps an online game like scrabble
thanks squonk

'I thought a quinny zapp was hair removal on your lady garden.'

Just picked myself up of the floor ... so funny Piggy !!!!

scuttlebug is apparently an old english word for gossip.

so they are a bunch of mnetters who gossip.

Both threads are just like the tea shop or bar really, just places to chat. You would be made welcome in any one of them if you wanted to pop in and say hello.

thanks egg, all makes sense now
what about scuttlebugs ? what are they?

Isn't zappata the Spanish word for shoe?

<<<waves to fellow zappata>>>

I don't need another pushchair. I have my zapp which will do ds until he can properly walk everywhere.

But on a board for parents I don't think it is unreasonable to see lots of threads about pushchairs, prams and buggies.

We see lots about breast & bottle feeding - they don't interest me, but I don't have a problem with them being here.

We see lots about primary schools, but that doesn't interest me, doesn't mean they shouldn't be there.

Started months ago about a special offer on Zapps at Boots, some of us got chatting so we jut keep it going so we can keep in touch on MN.

You must leave Mumsnet egg, because of all of those things
Seriously though, is a zappata a pushchair then? or is it a thread about the zapp?

Um, I own a Quinny Zapp, am on the Zappata thread (I go there to chat my friends), and I am looking to buy a new buggy as am having twins in 3 months. Surely I am allowed to look for a new buggy as I think it will be hard to accommodate two newborns plus a nearly two year old in one single buggy? What's wrong with people buying second hand, and what's wrong with chatting on here to friends?

I saw a buggy the other day, registered that it was a Quinny Zapp and then thought oh so that's what one of those is. It's like another language innit? I couldn't give a toss about buggies either

Look at it this way - how many of you have a nice car? or change your car, not because it's fallen apart, but because you want a new one?

What about your clothes. I bet you don't wear them until they fall apart and then buy one replacement item - you have a pair of trousers, why buy another pair?

Your home - do you have nice things? Do you buy better, or different things? Do you change your colour scheme?

hairstyle?

Shoes? How many pairs have you got? You've only got one pair of feet.

Handbags? What a waste of money they can be.

Everyone's got something they like to buy lots of or change regularly, or admire.

Ok, I personally think there must be better things than pushchairs, but that's only my opinion. I used the same pushchair until it fell apart but I can understand that there are some folks who have an obsession like some of you have 60 pairs of shoes, or some of you pay £200 for a handbag.....

Yes they do. Sadly. And tip top.

yeah, wi Dreem Topping

(do they still make that? I had it in my youth)

I don't intend to find out!

for sale: zappa in black moustache

seriously UQD , how many ways are there?
I'm sure you would both be fine

U havin angel delight for afters oo?

Maybe I should start a swap/wanted thread and trade in my maclaren for a granny trolley then

my profile is about buggies so I am 4 reel innit

<<<picks acrylic nails and ponders FakeBake>>

It's funny how quickly it all seems like another world. DW and I, with a 7-year-old and a 4-year-old, probably wouldn't know which way up to hold a baby these days.

tsk tsk

Olive

You put it so much more eloquently than me!

Also, will someone just decide whether to bf or ff and thereby free 60% of the thread space for more interesting things, like recipes for mohitos...

Tsk tsk TinyGang - you should have sold it/swapped it on here.

you lossers
xxxx

Ours fell apart spectaculary in St Ives one holiday. One minute dh was pushing it along, the next it snapped into a handful of poles and material and ds fell out. We shoved it in the nearest bin and carried on on foot

Oh I could be "trendy" . Not sure though as I haven't actually seen anyone under the age of 70 using one.
