Default Conkers...Autumn is here.

Who used to Conker fight at school?

We used to chase the fat kid, Onslo, at school and hit him round the head with our conkers.

What were your tricks to make your s rock hard.

Used to bake mine in the oven.

Other people said vinegar, but surely that makes them soft?

Dan, with vinegar you had to soak them and leave them for the next year ! Let them dry naturally for the ensuing 12 months and then go and smash the granny out of everything that fell off a tree with it

Surprised kids are even allowed to play it at school any more due to Health and Safety!

Now where did I put my 96er!
