Conkers 15:16 - Sep 26 with 4276 views flynnbo Breaks my heart walking past all those shiny new horse chestnuts just lying in the gutter or on the path. When I were a lad, we'd risk life and limb standing in the road throwing sticks up at them. Never baked them nor put them in vinegar. How the youth of today is missing out albeit they're probably preserving their eyesight and not getting run over or hit by a stray branch!!

If anyone ever wen to A&E because they were hit on the paw playing Conkers, they should have had a rather stern word with themselves. What next, a insurance claim for injuries sustained in a thumb war?

Especially if it's a half inflated orange woolworths football. Back of the ear mid winter was a killer. Did I ever mention that I was in Minder?
