    If you wrapped them around a penny and threw them on the ground really hard they would explode. It was cooooooooooool

    Penny bomb. Wrap it good n tight with some insulating tape and you had yourself some serious fire power.

    I had a business making these in school. Penny bombs, even wrapped tightly in tape were pretty weak - but convenient for whiteboards.

    The best was the caps folding in half (along the length), then cramming them into a marker top along with a match or elastic band for fuse. In one fluid motion, you could strike the match against a matchbox and release the banger and it would go off in mid-air.

    Then I got my hands on some potassium nitrate and moved on.

    It was even better if you bought a packet of bangers, cut them open and put all the powder into just one case & taped it up!

    Demolished a wall with one! :eek: :o

    Get two bolts a nut an a box of matches.

    Put the nut a few turns on to a bolt, forming a cup
    Scrape the heard off the match into the cup , loosely screw on the other bolt and throw.

    Of course you can't do it with safety matches.

    Apologies if a repost.

    When I lived in America I couldn't believe that nobody ever heard of Skippy.

    If ever a programme needed a remake this is it.

    They do but terrorist watch-lists can make it harder for them to show it.

    I still remember the feeling of my arms going asleep because i was holding them above myself under the covers of my bed with that kind of gameboy colour. Good times.


    Screw you, carpel tunnel.

    I don't remember much of the actual cartoon, other than bits of pieces throwing up recognition. But this has to be one of the greatest theme tunes of all time.

    I know it could be nostalgia, but I remember it being one of those cartoons that actually had a storyline and decent plot. The kind you look at and say, "They don't make them like that anymore." But then again the French have always been more adventurous when it comes to stuff like fantasy and sci-fi, especially in cartoons and comics.
