You should let us teach you how to play skewball, but if you shove any of the above into google there are a fair few mail order places that do them! I got my hoola hoops from toys are us - and everything else for the skewball kit from a diy shop.

I'm impressed that the torpedoe is glow in the dark.....great fun for night dives

[Dr T]

yeah....

we are planning a night dive in the POOL early next year for the new students to play with torches/strobes/night sticks etc. and a flying glowing torpedo would be cool

It's a game that we made up like underwater Quidditch. 2 teams of 3 players - with a pitch and goals and a skewball - there's a thread on the DiFF forum somewhere that's got more details about the game on it.
