Dobbo, what happens when one of your riding mates accidentally snaps your glow in the dark one 😯

When I put my shag bands on it's like a binding love contract and I fully accept the consequences no matter how grotesque the outcome is. 😐

Anyway, who fancies a night ride?

This sounds both silly and implausible. 🙂

ha ha ha.......here, i wonder if a snapped band would be defined as a legal contract. I wonder if that would stand up in court (missus)

surely you would be more worried if said 11 yr old wasnt wearing one, as it may have been snapped?

So if I go up to someone and snap their bracelet, it means I [i]have[/i] to have sex with them (depending on colour). It sounds a lot easier that when I was a kid. No acting aloof /playing guitar/cider.

kids grow up fast; my 7 yr old has a pink one of these

(out of idle curiosity (and, no, I don't believe this shite either), are these easy to snap or would you have to break the wearer's wrist in the process ?)

I would be more worried that I had a child dumb enough to think they had to do whatever forfeit was required just because someone broke the band.

they are very strong supposedly. also there is a flaw because they stretch enough before breaking that it gives the wearer ample space and time to run away. at least thats what happened when i tried it.

Keva - this was around at least 12ish years ago when I was at school, so not because of urban dictionary, but still crap as you say

scaredypants I think you just have to let the kid know
you are aware what the braclet stands for and maybe
just let them know what exactly is expected of them
or maybe forced to do by those/others how break it.
dependent of age mind.

they may be/have started as urban legends, but my gf's 13 year old cousin has some on, and was telling us the exact same thing about "everyone at her school" wearing them. no idea if they actually go through with the required deeds or not, but apparently they're fairly ubiquitous.

As above, my lad (12) wears a green one sometimes (it's actually a charity one) and knows of the concept, but the forfeits vary depending on who you talk to. Most of his peer group wear at least one, some of his girl friends (friends who are girls..!) wear armfuls of the things...

ekkyy thump, has it realy been 18 years since I started at school, personaly I thought they were a bit silly then, and a just the same now.

Remember one girl being taken home in tears because hers had snapped and she'd wanted someone from take that/boyzone/blonde cretin's 'r'us to snap it for her!

As for their durability, they fall appart if you just look at them! But then again maybe teenagers nowadays are more virtuous?

Err - She has no idea at all that it's anything other than a pink bracelet (nor had I). Think it came in a party bag actually ( 😯 )
It's not that fragile - like one of those Lance bands really (am I talking about something different?)

(wondered why it said "dare me, I'm six" on it !)
