Sym City Hopper 49cc Moped/Scooter

Advantages: Looks, Handling, Efficiency, Price and Storage.
Disadvantages: Very minor but the Indicators. [A little tricky to get used to]

...Im a boy, 16 and eager to become a fully fledged member of the road! Been looking round eBay for ages to find my perfect first scooter and finally came across a Sym city hopper, Its blue and when i had it the black plastics had become gray and had not been treated greatly by the previous owner.. So, with a weeks-holiday off school i spent all my time restoring it to perfect condition and i don't think i could have spent £127 in a better way! The bikes great! Its large, comfortable and being a student, it doesnt cost alot to maintain [just £4 petrol and top up of 2-sttroke oil every few weeks] I had restricted when i cought it and had 35 out of it, so it was very nippy for a restricted bike. But naturally, [as a typical male] as time went i on i have now fully de-restricted it and now cruise 10-15 miles daily at 40-50 mph and never had...

Review of Sym - City Hopper

Hopper stoppers !.

Advantages: Cheaper than other flea treatments .
Disadvantages: Short acting .

...ingnore the puppy . She in turn tries to ingratiate herself by trying to play with them at every opportunity ..... thankfully no fur has flown no yelps have ensued when either of the "girls" have tried to educate the puppy. However, yelps have occurred due another little beast .! Yes , you have it ! Hoppers ! (fleas). The girls are treated regularily with frontline. Accord anti-flea spray is my best friend around the household including soft fabrics. Both of which are very good at preventing flea infestation. So where then did Lotti accquire her hoppers ! ? From the garden , I have been reliably informed . Apparently fleas hop from grass blades onto thier host and travel back into the house . They are tenacious little buggers and stealthy too. Being very young, we were at a loss as to the best way to relieve Lotti of her...

Matchbox babies and space hoppers

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...! Space hoppers ^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^ I think everyone had one of these, and they are still relatively popular these days. My space hopper had a horse?s head (this was in the days before I watched The Godfather) rather than the standard crazy faced monstrosity. They only came in one colour, and that was bright orange, but they were brilliant for keeping children happy and exercised. I used to bound up and down our hallway as a child dodging the cabinets and coat racks, and it?s only now that I realised we lived in a flat. The poor man downstairs must have cursed my mum for buying me this particular gift! I remember my space hopper lasting for many years, until my stupid cousin decided to use it in the garden, which was full of thorns and prickly things, and my orange air filled toy was relegated to the space hopper graveyard. Other...

Review of Top Ten Toys from my Childhood

Hop Ball? Its's still a space hopper to me!

Advantages: Will keep kids happy
Disadvantages: Lot of hassle to buy

...I used to have something very similar to this back in the day, but then it was called a space hopper, can you remember them? I've download a pic below for a bit of nostalgia. So when I was asked to by a Hop-A-Roo Hop Ball for my little god-daughter I did wonder "what the hell is one of those?". Anyway I am pleased to report that she is having as much run on her new Hop-A-Roo Hop Ball as used to have on my space hopper! This 'space hopper' is 15" and made of heavy duty vinyl so it won't pop or tear (and cause unwanted tears!) The hopper can be inflated by either a hand or foot pump and comes with inflating adaptor plug. I can't comment how easy it was to inflate because we got her Dad to do this bit. It's simply a bouncing toy nothing more and nothing less, but is proving to provide hours (or ok minutes of fun). I purchased my god...

Review of Crag Hoppers Men's Kiwi Trouser

ENVIGORATING LADY LED BRITISH BAND

Advantages: STRONG SOUNDING BRITISH FEMALE VOCALIST LED INDIE ROCK BAND
Disadvantages: TOO LITTLE OUTPUT AND DESERVED EXPOSURE

...With Bernard Butler (Suede)on recording and producing duties, alongside Nigel Godrich cracking on with the engineering, it's astonishing that Hopper didn't make a bigger impression on the indie scene. No doubt fans of suede, at least the majority, would've easily bypassed this LP, given it's raw and urgent directness, somewhat lacking in epic harmonies and sound scape. With a voice echoing Justine Frischman ( Elastica ) and matching her, bite for bite with every great lyric, the unnamed lady singing contains herself as well as she loses it with equal control and understanding of that which it is, a certain song craves for and requires. Her band-mates, also going unnamed, show a certain level of experience and knowledge, with their sometimes uniformed but nevertheless, always complimentary and praiseworthy sounds. Hardly surprising...

Do you want cheap reliable transport?

Advantages: cheap to run, tax and insure
Disadvantages: not very nice in bad weather

...Earlier this year I decided that the car was becoming astronomical to run and decided to look around at alternative transport. I decided that realistically my bicycle was not an option so I looked on the net for moped(scooters). After looking at all the big names, Suzuki, Yamaha, Honda, Vespa etc. I came accross a make called Sym. They are based in Tiawan and have made engines for Honda since 1962 and now they are producing thair own brand of scooter. I compared the prices of all the makes and as I was trying to save money on my transport costs I decided to look at the Sym scooters. I found a dealer in my nearby town (Macclesfield Scooter Centre), went to have a look and fell in love with my City Hopper. It is blue, has a 50cc engine, under seat storage, does 100mpg, cost £73 for 12 months insurance and cost only £1125 on the road...

Review of Sym - City Hopper

Aussie hip-hoppers bring it from down under

Advantages: There is strong respect to tradition, yet it?s different from what many of us might be used to.
Disadvantages: songs are subdued, almost cold. There isn?t enough emotion.

.../ This cop threw me to the ground, cos hip hop is violent/ Said ?You got freedom of speech, just choose to remain silent?? A testament to their desire to bring back the essence of hip-hop culture is the inclusion of ?Simmy And The Gravyspitter?; an acapella battle track that boasts a credible bout of beat boxing. One of the weaker moments of the album comes on ?The Sentinel?, which is totally devoid of any cohesive subject matter. All things considered, it must be documented that The Calling lacks the so-called sophistication of American hip-hoppers Jam Master Jay, the Beastie Boys and more recently, Missy Elliott. The Hilltop Hoods are pioneers in their own right, but their rhyming schemes, music and homogeneous vocal talent are staggered, off-on sequences of lyrical hooks and riffs that lack presence. Yet that?s the nature of our...
