Fireworks, think I've posted this before but you reminded me about it so I'm posting it again we used to play chicken with them. This night, 2 guys we knew, wouldn't call them mates wanted in on the action. Got them to stand in the lane, we lit the rocket laying on the ground facing them about 30 feet away. The 2 guys hunched over, hands on there knees thinking they'll see it coming and dodge it a millisecond later it hit one of them square on the top lip, he flew back and landed on top of it. He didn't know whether to hold his face or his burnt arse lip went the size of a tennis ball. It was funny at the time but it could have been a lot worse lol. Link to post Share on other sites

It's amazing the stuff you see and find as you spend so much time having a good rake about. It's funny as things like ferret locators no one ever used and think I lost bout one ferret in 10 years. Skive school and go ferreting all day lol I still don't use a locator aye, money bag, ferret in your secret pocket that you tore the lining of your market Barbour jacket lol and away you'd go. When I think about it, between the smell of ferret piss, rabbit piss, blood all soaking in your jacket, no wonder my auld maw wouldn't wash it in her swanky twin tub lol. Your showing off with a lamp. Never had one of them till I was early 20's. motorbike battery and spot light lol. The Mam and the ex Mrs wouldn't even let my "Hoggs of Fife" fake Barbour in the house :laugh: oh how proud I was when I got the brown one lining tore straight away for poachers pocket, dogs bollocks it never worked the same with the padded shirt but by f**k did you feel ard as f**k with all that padding horizontal sleet, ppppppft, bring it on Can remember in the late 80's, early 90's running around the woods with my new red padded checked shirt my mum bought me and my G10 repeater popping rabbits, woodies and squirrels hoping to catch them right as a babies fart had more power than that shitty pistol PMSL :laugh: I was the same mate. My errr rifle was handed down from the auld man. I can mind him shooting ducks etc with it. By the time I got it it wouldn't penetrate a plastic bottle lol. Still didn't stop me. You'd whack a pidgeon, here an almighty thud as the slug walloped it..... A flurry of feathers and woooosh the pidgeon would be pissing itself giving you the V sign on the way by lol. You had to aim for the eye which wasn't easy looking down the barrel lolSo basically you went about stealing eggs and wounding birds......f*****g little vandal!!.... f**k all has changed mate I can't believe you didn't collect eggs mate. Our class after dinner time, every c**t showing off there eggs they got. You never went to school without a ring box full of cotton wool lol.
