    I don't like unnecessary chores!

    The bit with the lawn mower is cool but I don't like the tricky time consuming edges and borders and other obstacles, the rakin and grass collection, sweeping of the pathway, weedin and all that jazz.

    So I have just invested in the laying of some Astro Turf, (that's plastic grass&#33. It's durable, hardwearing, always healthy looking - so no panics if there's is a hose pipe ban!

    It won't die in a drought and it won't be killed off by even the harshest winter.

    The neighbours don't realise what's goin on - one even commented today on how lush my lawn was lookin and wanted to know my secret! lol!

    To throw everyone completely off the scent I have also purchased an Astro Turf Lawnmower!

    To be honest I was really fucked off about this purchase! I got the thing out of the box and found it has exactly the same appearance as a Flymo Hover Mower, only difference being a real nasty lookin cheap sticker with the word "Astro" stuck partially over the Flymo label, only other difference is, it has no blade! This b*stard thing was four time the price of a Flymo!

    Still I've got it now - so once a fortnight I will go through the pretence of mowing me lawn.

    What do you think cool or just plain f*ckin dumb?

    Way cool, cuz now you can paint some lines & stuff on it, build a dome over it and sell it to the next major league baseball team looking for a home field&#33;

    I did exam this cheaper option. However I really do love nature and sh*t and I concluded that paving slabs in place of a lawn are just a little drab.

    should&#39;ve bought a cow fugs, then you would only have to pick up cow-pats.

    Cutting one own&#39;s lawn is a downright tradition - Sundays especially.

    The end of this is the downfall of society as we know it - what else will fat bastards do on Sundays? The obesity question therefore comes in to play.

    Wise your ass up before you make wild suggestions about your horticultural activities.

    Astro-Turf is NOT fun when you do a sliding-tackle playing football. On normal grass you get a grass-stain, on astro-turf you get a blood-stain usually.

    But, hopefully you won&#39;t be having much more than a kick-a-bout on the lawn, unless it&#39;s really big. I think it&#39;s cool, although the astro-mower is taking it a bit far...i didn&#39;t even know they existed. A waste of electricity too, because i imagine it still has a motor to produce the sound or else it&#39;s pointless. well it&#39;s pointless anyways. i&#39;ve got a feeling you&#39;re pulling our collective legs over the mower part.

    Why thank for you kind response lilmissy ..... er I think

    I could perhaps buy a plastic cow and a plastic cow pat or two "Astro Turf Inc Corp"
    do have an accessories brochure - that&#39;s where I found the "Astro Turf Flymo".

    Apparently they do latex teen bellies too&#33;

    To save that just drop your own load in the middle of the night or sumthin - authentic look and everything.

    Plus you&#39;ll save the 50p odd on plastic turds.
