I bought a radio controlled BIRD today

[Easy 10]

Look, its one of THESE

Quite an amazing bit of kit, very cleverly made. Its a bit tricky to fly, but I'm getting to GRIPS with it now. You have to alter the trim till you can get it flying straight, then you can start flapping round the room like a GOODUN. Its freaking my cockatiel Casper out a bit at the moment, but I'm hoping he'll get used to it so I can RACE him round the living room.

All hail the i-BIRD

I'm glad I've seen that, because I had a wind up one that I bought from Paris on school trip.

No-one has ever believed me and I've never seen anything similiar since until tonight.

But you accept that there is an increased risk of vehicle/i-bird collision?

Of course you may.
I bought it in Red 5, the gadget shop in Churchill Square, for fifteen of your english pounds (reduced from £25). Batteries not included - it takes four AA's.

I can't BELIEVE that didn't even occur to me.

I seem to recall my bird was wound up by inserting a handle in its rear end.

Yes, they don't take too kindly to that do they.
This one is all electric, and the mechanics of it are frankly a miracle of modern engineering. Your left thumb controls the THRUST (ie how hard its FLAPPING), whilst the right thumb controls the turning. When its flying, the eye lights up and EVERYTHING.

Can we see footage of Casper in action as well please ?

Then maybe US can start offering odds on who would win the race ?, should Casper choose to accept the challenge of course.

EVERYTHING? It shits on your carpet as well?
So, what are those things in your avatar?

You could REALLY have some fun outside a pub at chucking out time with one of those or in the cinema during a horror flick

Disappointing-I was expecting to see the next generation blow-up doll...
