Our neighbour has stuck one in their garden whilst I'm away.

 

I'm not sure how I feel about this. Surely it's lowering the tone

 

Anybody going to admit to having one in their garden/yard?

This is going to turn into a snob V chav thread. I hate visible trampolines and even worse are caravans parked on the drive.

Trampoline in the back garden? Maybe if you have to. Trampoline in the front garden? Absolutely not under any circumstances.

I was expecting them to be a bit bigger and bouncier if I'm honest. I'm slightly underwhelmed :-(

I suspect you'd learn to live with the disappointment though

Well some people find them useful!!!

I'd struggle on stoically Satan! :-)

I can't read the word trampoline without saying "tramampomoline" in a Homer Simpson voice in my head.

We call the mattress in our front yard a trampoline.

Only trampoline I went on was when they introduced them in the senior school, I had a box of No 6 with a few matches stuffed down my shorts thinking we were going outside for sports. Started jumping,and everything fell out. Got a good leathering on my hands that day.

We had one but I got rid. It was a pain in the arse. They turn in to death traps fairly quickly too.

Had one for about 3 years now. One of the only things I've bought the kids that has been frequently used. That and the iPad. Takes a little bit of maintenance, but they've certainly had my money's worth.

We have one for our 5 year old, he loves it. We have a big back garden though so it is tucked out of the way a bit.

I'm no snob but them big netted trampolines that take up most of the back garden are worst than plastic grass lawns. Trampolines only attract fucking noisy kids for hours on end, pissed up adults and the odd pitbull being put on while everyone laughs hysterically while it catches a ball. You don't even have to live in the same street for you to hear them sharing their love of bouncing.

Daughter has a 12 foot one.

 

I have still got to erect it in the new house.

 

We live on Johnson fold though and I think the trend is to have them in the front garden

Trampolines are so last decade.

Get youself a bouncy castle Sweep ....then invite your mates round for a late night party.

Bouncy castles and booze are very dangerous

I hate visible trampolines

On the other hand, them invisible ones are fucking ace.

Bouncy castles and booze are very dangerous

Very true....but fun.

When Beyonce discovered that Roy Castle was her biological father, she decided against adopting his surname.

:D

I've gotot a 10ft one in the back garden that my dowter has grown out of. Stuck it on Gumtree yesterday for £50 and my phone has melted, got someone coming in 5 mins and they'll want it.

Then it's off to the pub for me.

 

Edit 6.30pm - The Somalian types bought the trampoline,it took me over an hour to dismantle it, whilst they prattled on to each other in their own lingo.

Just spent half the proceedings in the brewery tap,living the dream.

Fuck trampolines, I detest those nipple coverings of any kind...I think my first memory of them was watching 'Steptoe and Son' the film on the telly, as a very young kid, the plot involved Harold marrying a 'bird' who promptly fucked him off, he tracked her down and found out she was now making ends meet as a stripper, as my excitement (and widgy) grew in anticipation as, even then, I knew we'd eventually see her doing her act...Then, complete dejection when the scene actually happened and she had those bloody tassles on her nipples...

 

If I recall correctly Harold also got an undeserved twatting in the same scene, much less upsetting than not fully seeing some real breasts, but still peturbing nonetheless.

 

I went to bed at around 1am* a very dejected and frustrated five year old that night.

 

* I had very irresponsible parents regarding my bedtimes and telly viewing habits, especially around Christmas time.
