[Steve-O]

Damn havent played conkers for Years.. Last time I played conkers I was in primery school 7 years ago or more.

Damn Its quite good fun

Anyone else playing conkers ???

Supposedly putting a conker (still in its shell) on a fire will make it fire out into the air. Supposedly that velvety stuff is explosive. I however haven't ever tried this and it's probably complete bollocks.

They just expand and pop, sometimes spraying themselves everywhere. It aint explosive though :blink:

Well... you realy need to get out more lol

They grow on Trees,

They grow inside this Spikey Casing and when the fall off the tree you sometimes have to rip the case open to get it out.

you then collect them and drill a hole in them and put a shoe lace or string threw it.

You then meet up with someone that also has a conker and challenge them lol

You dangle your conker and they swipe at it with theres trying to smash it up.

Who evers concer gets smashed off the string / lace first looses

here we have some pictures -

Did you hear that a school/s in the UK has banned the playing of conkers in the playground unless safety goggles are worn? Damn crazy soccer moms (or more likely the school being afriad of being sued).

Which School was that?? Cummersdale ??? I used to goto that Primery School .. apparently it was on the Front Page of the Sun or something??

Also, The Headteacher person bought them all goggles to wear

Ah, Kastanien!

Never played that game you described though. Never even heard of it.... most people I know collect them and built those freaky animals out of the things using toothpicks or matches.
