    Bonkers with their Conkers. Reliving their youth me thinks.
    As a lad I used to love spending hours getting the conkers down from the trees.Great fun

    She preferred to hit hard, fast and straight from the top... "So I can put all my weight behind it!"....

    Might employ her for the demo on my next job on the that basis ;)

    We need to collect some conkers, apparently they are good for getting rid of spiders, place them around a room and the not so little hairy buggers won't come near. Problem is you don't find many horse chestnut trees out here in the wilds.

    Have you read the UK has a new spider related to the black widow (false widow) makes hammock type webs!

    Are you sure this thread is not just a cover up for Dave and jumbos secret garage games, I mean seems odd your watching that by chance ;)

    Whats wrong with a bag of conkers to take to school?I used to sell em to the lads in the playground at Upbury Manor and spend it on sweets at the tuck shop.
    That cricket ball was a good investment.

    I fail to see what's so funny about conkers. Conkers are a deadly serious business. Conkers rock! YOLO etc

    You've called my bluff there, shipmate.

    I saw one on telly. Once.

    And a schoolfriend saw one in a museum, apparently.
