[#2382105]

I really don't understand how any man finds a remote control helicopter so entertaining? Bought one for
my other half for Xmas and now he owns 4!! 4!!!! Why? Just flies them round the house - it's so boring. If his mates come round they all just sit there and gawp at it flying around. Mention it to any man and they're like 'omg that's amazing, wish I had one'. What is going on!!!!

It's the equivalent of the irrational lust for handbags and shoes that women have.

My mum confiscated mine, after I almost accidentally flew it into her head one day. Seriously. She wasn't impressed. ๐Ÿ˜ณ

I wouldn't know. I'd rather a nice pair of shoes.

I land mine on my wife's head as she tries to watch TV.

Luckily for her it is one of the mini ones!

I had one of the really dinky lightweight ones once. Could fly it round the whole house after a little while, up and down the stairs, it was ace. Like you say Emma, girls never got it at all but any bloke who came round would always want to try it out!

They are crap, but the mastering the skill of being able to fly them is quite satisfying.
For 5 minutes.

I got one from a mate for xmas, it's got an aluminium chassis and is bloody amazing. It's now living in my office and people come from all the other offices to have a go. They rock.

Ahem...my wife asked for one for her 40th birthday....err....does that mean she's not a girl?

Mind you, she's not that fussed on shoes and handbags either.

Guess who wears the trousers round here!

The last time I pulled a similar face was the scene where Daniel Craig gets outbid the sea in his blue pants in James bond. I nearly fainted.

RC helicopters are ok, but quadrocopters are really where it's at.
