Yer well you would, feckin maniacs!!:D:D:D
Wots worse is what used to happen after the war, in France etc. Kids would find ammunition and throw it on fires etc. Lots of nasty accidents, obvs.
Only last holiday one of our older neighbours was talking about this and saying how she and her mates, as kids, once found an artillery shell in a stream. they took it out mucked about with it a bit then started hitting the ends of it with their clogs, (farming peeps in Normandy!) Mad!
One day in school I found a .22 cartridge, live, in the shavings on the floor of the woodwork shed. As we had an ATC squadron in the school I reckoned a kid must have nicked it. So, being just for once, a good-goody, I took it to my housemaster who was also one of the instructors. For once the kids near me in the shed dobbed in the lad who had had it. He fessed up but said that he thought because it had "E" on the bottom of it, it wasn't live, so the instructor put it in a rifle and shot a nice hole in a block of wood with it. The kid went white. He nearly got slung off the squadron. The Head thanked me personally, he sh!t himself imagining a kid putting it in a vice and banging the cap with a hammer and a nail punch!:eek::eek::eek:
 
I have made a checker plate box for my 12v diesel heater & put the feed pipe through a vent in living room, used exhaust heat wrap for the inlet works a treat, just a tester to see how effective it is.
I had it up at 35 degrees now its down to 20, I will take it down to 15 soon.

My father told me about his older brother "Sonny" (who died as a flight Sergeant in a heavy bomber squadron tail-end-charlie in '44) having a bullet and putting it in a vise in the shed and hitting the cap-end with a nail & and hammer.
They were deaf for the whole day. :)

Your mum & dad got you a nurses outfit haha

Not mine you pl***er! I was asking DD if her mum and Da got her one!!!
I had as many cowboy outfits as I wanted, we (my bruv and I) also had Indian ones and even, weirdly a bus conductor's outfit! Not even the feckin driver, FFS! (The ticket machine worked quite well. During the 2 minutes I tried it until I threw it away in disgust!) but no girls clothes, although my bruv expressed an interest in a dolls house so he got one, (He could wrap my ma round his little finger.) She was very avant garde in her attitude to LGBGTi etc. Bruv turned out completely heathrow sexual but his son is gay. So my only living relative who could continue the family name, ain't ever going to!!!
I blame the bloody doll's house!!:rolleyes::mad:
And finkin about it, bruv started on the busses in Lunnen as a clippy before becoming a driver.
Weird or what?
I never had a teacher's outfit!!! (What the feck would that look like? A jacket with leather patches on the elbows, baggy cord trews and a stick of chalk!?)
So that's where they went wrong!!!

Find a bullet, in a woodwork shed, what the feck else should you do? I think my mate would have done that if he didn't think it was pointless!:)

Didn't do the range deceleration truthfully then.

"I declare I have no live rounds, empty casings, blank rounds, pyrotechnics or parts there of. Sir"
