Not true/??……. I definitely think that he is an idiot….. and you cannot turn on the news without being bombarded with his disastrous ‘policies’; that’s a fact!

[RogerH]

It's a conspiracy.

Rob,

Where DID you get that?  Apart from YouTube.    It's said to be the work of one Fredrik Jonsson, but what for?   AI, CGI?   Is it 'art', film, or what?   Very cleverly and realistically done!

It was posted on another forum John - I went to YT to find the source.  There is a collection of very weird "surrealist" art videos on there............ like this:

The Jonsson clips are quite short, but the figures move smoothly and realistically.   It must take a LOT of computer time!  The Szauder are more imaginative (and imaginary) but less smooth.    But altogether a tour de force!

Here's another- more steampunk this time

 

[SuzanneH]

Last weekend we saw a boy on something like a skateboard 🛹 whizzing around on the Thames at Hampton. Any ideas on what it was……?

Just a typical Steam Punk week-end

Was it an electric hydrofoil surfboard Sue? There is a hydrofoil vane with a motor on the end of the stalk.

Thanks Rob, this is very similar but much longer and higher out of the water

[john.r.davies]

There's a TCV commercial - I saw it last night - that features dozens of people riding these powered surfboards!

How effective it was as advertising, I doubt, I couldn't remember the company it promoted until I watched it again!

School of Francis Bacon?

There were quite a few of them buzzing about on the sea when I was on holiday in the Caribbean recently. You could hire one by the hour - I can’t remember how much but they weren’t cheap. 

They are called E Foil hydraboards.
