[Closed] Any hottub bods/users in. Which make?

I really, really am struggling to think of anything I'd rather not spend £4k on.

I'm not sure I'd even want one if I were given one.

I really struggle to see what the fuss about these things is all about at the moment, other than being the latest pointless 'must have'. I'd honestly never use it - just can't see the appeal mate.

Free pampas grass with every purchase.

Is this for your media room?

Could put it in vorlichs media room 🙂

Edit, 4 seconds gah.

Derbyshire you say? Well you could wash your bike in it.

Got an Arctic spa one, decent insulation is important as the cheap ones can cost a fortune in electric. 5 year warranty which I have needed for a control pack and pump. Now 6 years old so hoping they last a bit longer.

not a bad idea that.......

Is that a CRT TV in a fireplace?

Any mention of a hot-tub always reminds me of a conversation I had with an installer/service guy many years ago in a house where I was doing a floor and he was putting in a hot-tub in the tiny back garden. "They're great y'know, but I wouldn't ever get in anyone elses's..." 🙂

The Mrs and I spend countless hours chit chatting in the bath, yes we actually after nearly 20 years still like each other so the tub will replace that for us, plus the kids seem pretty keen. Oh and it's my money

There's the bite 😉

Not going to change my opinion of them though - I can talk to my Mrs without being in the bath and we've been together 23 yrs - saying that, she's upstairs while I watch the GP 😉

Bout time you came for a Matlock/Darley guided tour wrighty 😛

Doncaster

classy

Nothing personal, wrightyson, just made me laugh!

Damn you artist! What you gonna show me that I haven't already ridden on Matlock 😆

Hot tub in media room reminds me of the time my colleagues booked me into the honeymoon suite at this place for a joke:

I stopped to ask for directions. The guys laughed, said Carry on, you'll find it!

Various waxwork waiters stood in alcoves gave you the creeps and the note the room door advising '$20 per additional occupancy' seemed like a rate in case you rang the front desk, requesting a 'guest' from the strip club over the road!

Memorable stay for sure...

Don't those things contain human doings?

I moved into a place that had two of them. Neither of them got used before or after we moved in.

HTH

Had one for over 7 years in the last house. Left it behind as they don't move too well.

If you have a dark back garden at night it's great to sit in with the Mrs looking at shooting stars, satellites, stars planets, planes etc.

Also better than sitting watching the telly.

And yes, we even had some conversations too!

Great for that post ride beer. Ace on a sunny cold winters day.

I'd have one again if I could afford one.

Was a Southwest Spa one. Not made any more though.

They do cost a bit to run. They do need parts on a fairly frequent basis - had to replace a couple of pumps, some seals, control board and jets, cover etc in that time. Still would have another one though.

Not a lot of help on the "which one" front though.

Dunno, but I'll bet there's something. If not, just come for the craic anyway 😉

We are quite fancying one of these:

Apparently cheaper to run than a normal one.
