Re: Conkers, it's bonkers

public class noobs{

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Cool story bro");
    }

}

Not many people know this, but I own the first radio in Springfield. Not much on the air then, just Edison reciting the alphabet over and over. "A" he'd say; then "B." "C" would usually follow...

Re: Conkers, it's bonkers

..btw, @Nemeara. Conkers are horse chestnuts. School children drill holes through them, lace them on an old shoe lace and take turns hitting each others conker with their own. The conker that breaks first loses

Re: Conkers, it's bonkers

....in England there was a championship held (i believe it was in worcestershire but i may be mistaken) and they had "referees" to ensure no cheating (which to my understanding is frowned upon in the conker community....and yes there is a conkering community) i think that although conkers is a game children have played for many,many decades it does not do our image any good with other countries...and it is yet another victim of this zelous health & safety thing other here with conkers being "banned" in several areas/counties because of the risk of injuries (although according to figures released by RoSPA there are over one hundred people admitted to hospital each year due to conker related injuries....but when you compare that to washing machine injuries it is "small-fry")....it is a bastion of Englishness and should be protected from these "nutters-with-clipboards" before it is lost forever....i used to boil mine in vinegar to make them harder....my best was a "twelver" then some fat kid stomped on it sad
