Can you guess...

... what I was playing with the vast majority of last night....

It's generally quite small (well the majority I have seen are... the odd few I have seen which are HUUUGE are very impressive!) but with a little bit of help, it can grow very quickly! The one I was playing with certainly got large very quickly and astounded many people!! I'm not particularly skilled with it as of yet, but practice makes perfect (if anyone has one spare I'd appreciate having a play But only particular ones... I canny handle these bigguns at all.)

Mainly boys find them fascinating. Despite them being around all their lives, they only seem to find and appreciate them in their teenage years and this love for them never dies from then onwards (much to the dismay of girls).

After a long period of time though, they start to fail. They might be slightly bigger than they started off to be but eventually they just stop working altogether and are rendered useless.

What was I playing with?
