to hate the BugaBoo (or however you spell it)

that's it really. I don't even 100% know why but I can't stand them. Some reasons are they are horrible colours and ridiculously expensive, unnecessary to spend that surely? And it seems to me (round here anyway) that BugaBoo owners are v smug - "only the best for my children" types. Someone I know insisted on getting one and they have so little money that half the time she can't afford to even get on a bus to do anything, so she and her kid sit inside all day, pretty much every day. Better to get a cheaper travel system and let the poor child get some fresh air IMHO... ooh, they just really make my blood boil. Happy to be put straight by proud BugaBoo owners

LordVolAuVent · 18/05/2010 22:35

Sometimes it is fun to judge bear.
Do your Birkenstocks have a disgusting, drity, dark foot imprint on the sole? I hate dark brown hair. Get off my thread.

LordVolAuVent · 18/05/2010 22:36

scottishmummy · 18/05/2010 22:38

lol!go on cant promise wont mock though.its fun to pile in

bearcrumble · 18/05/2010 22:38

I was the only one agreeing with you about the bugaboo mums, but since that comment I can see plainly that you're just an envious cowbag.

(re birkenstocks: the sole has actually crumbled away into corky sprinkles and the strap is just held there by my foot-filth).

bearcrumble · 18/05/2010 22:41

Scottishmummy is drunk.

LordVolAuVent · 18/05/2010 22:41

here it's quite long to cut and paste and this way you can get it as a ringtone too

what about the concord neo carbon pram? thats another level of smuggery surely?

NiceShoes · 18/05/2010 22:44

Bibbitybobbityhat,Do you have ishoos with SM. I think she is playing along with the thread. Like the other posters.

LordVolAuVent · 18/05/2010 22:46

Sorry bear, I am an envious old cowbag. I have Nice and Easy Summer Blonde 2 hair, primark flip flops and no BugaBoo. sometimes life is too hard to bear. I enjoyed your comment about the Cath Kidston changing bag too.

I have realised that I know nothing about prams, only that I don't like the BugaBoo. I need to educate myself. You lot are far superior in knowledge, I've never heard of half of these.

I do actually genuinely think (because you did ask about reasons why it's good OP) that it may have really benefited ds's speech being in a rear facing pram...we chat a lot and.... Oh bugger anything I write there makes me sound like a Smuggo... he's good at talking. For a 2 year old. Very good in fact.

But he may have been like that anyway, I do really like the chats tho

my Birkenstocks are fairly disgusting,they would traumatise you.

LordVolAuVent · 18/05/2010 22:50

What do you chat about Ginhag? My forward facing DS feeds the pigeons out of his snack cup thingy with his chopped off fingers, while mother ignores him

scottishmummy · 18/05/2010 22:51

bearcrumble have you been snorting lemsip again?

sm is drunk!you really must refrain from daft comments

is really that the best you can do?

try harder. knock yourself oot.perfect better quips

ginhag · 18/05/2010 22:52

To be honest mine's probably trying to ignore me doesn't get a chance though poor fella. I get a bit bored,drift off and crash into stuff if we're not talking about something...

ginhag · 18/05/2010 22:55

VolAuVent... Your pushchair has a snackcupthingy??

Mine doesn't

scottishmummy · 18/05/2010 22:57

snackcup.sound likey cupnoodles.great for stumpy wee hands

smallorange · 18/05/2010 22:59

I inherited a bugaboo Gecko and am not all that impressed. Nowhere to hang shopping, the small wheels at the front bump the curb, it's bumpy full stop actually.

And it makes me feel like a ponce.

Have a MAclaren on its last legs - still the best pushchair ever.

bearcrumble · 18/05/2010 23:00

Why are you typing like that then dear?

scottishmummy · 18/05/2010 23:01

oh do try harder.if you must bitch try be funny

LordVolAuVent · 18/05/2010 23:02

pushchair didn't come with the snack cup, gin hag, worry not. I bought that from JoJo Maman Bebe (in perfect francais accent) then found them cheaper in Tesco

bearcrumble · 18/05/2010 23:05

I'm not trying to be funny or bitchy - I just assumed you were drunk.

Are your space bar and shift key broken then?
