In the ols days I would go with my nephew to a forrest nearby and set fire to all sorts of things, if the police happend to see you, you coverd it with sand and went running. today you can be charged with whatever they can come up with, from reckless endagerment to terrorisme.

I did the most awfull things when I was a child, but my son can't even be a child anymore!

Yep, it's frightening to think back to what we used to do.

I got a small brass model cannon, barrel about 1.5" (40mm) long, which would take a 22mm air rifle slug. It also had a firing hole in it. They went for realism in those days.

Well we knew how to make domestic black powder or similar in those days from a few chemicals so off I went to my friends back garden which overlooked a quiet river.

Poured a few grammes of powder into the barrel, wedged the slug into the end, put a bit of rocket motor fuse in the touch hole and struck a match.

After the smoke had cleared and the ducks had calmed down at 1500 feet I realised that I didn't have any skin left on one half of the hand that held the match.

Straight home to Mu, who took me to the Doctors who asked whether I would be doing that again - stupid question amongst all that pain..

Anyway, I'm still here, but I can't bend one thumb as much as the other - luckily it hasn't affected me holding a beer glass.:)
