Swings vs. Roundabouts
People seem to be using the phrase "It's all swings and roundabouts" at the moment (and by people I mean people I talk to, not people here), and I was thinking, it makes no sense.
They say both offer you different things, but I hate roundabouts and prefer swings, roundabouts just make me dizzy.
So anyway, which do you prefer?
-
Isn't a roundabout what we call a traffic circle? Or is it like a merry-go-round or something?
A swing is, well, a swing ,right? A chair with strings. In which case I prefer a swing.
-
Roundabout as in merry-go-round.
Hence the playground aspect of it all.
-
I've never been on a roundabout before, but I love going on swings. Sometimes they make me a little dizzy, but they're fun, especially to jump off of.
-
There are both equally enjoyable in the most perverse sense of the word "equally"
-
-
I was never a child, never ever. I'm boring.
-
Like big merry-go-rounds or the little playgroud ones? They took out all the little playground ones around here years ago because, apparently, anything fun is dangerous.
Anyway, I like both.
-
Actually, they're both provide me with hours of solitary entertainment, on the old playground down the road. It's become a danger hazard so I go there by myself and play on the slides, swings and roundabout what have you; and smoke weed there because no one else annoys me.
-
I remember those roundabouts. We'd run around as fast as we could holding onto the handles and ride it around.
Swings are good for jumping.
-
I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out 'n' out
And change the day your way
Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley
:)
-
They both make me feel sick, but swings don't make me dizzy, so I prefer swings. Preferably just sitting on them not moving very much.
-
Roundabouts made me feel very sick. Swings didn't.
*votes swings*

I hardly went on roundabouts, so I enjoyed gong on them when I could. But I had swings in my garden (Yeah! :)!) and I loved them too. So... both!
