Got one of these when I was about 8 or 9 I guess.

Got a Scalextric a few years later.

Making gunpowder Thumbs Up

I remember going in to a chemist for saltpetre and telling the chemist my mother wanted it for pickling. Then another chemist for 'flowers of sulphur'. (If I tried that nowadays the armed response would be after me straight away!)

Home made charcoal and I was well away.

I never really got anything to go bang but the burning was pretty good. Some of my airfix models went up in pretty spectacular style. Laughing

Great days!

Nah, even today as long as you can show that you have less than 5kg of black powder, they can't actually touch you. Go over that, and yeah you need a licence.

I still have my BMX Flyer!

Sadly, my Donkey Kong II was stolen by some scum sucking lowlife fuckhead (I'm still a bit sore about it)

I was explaining to the GF yesterday about He-Man, and that the only he-man toy I had was 'Thunder-Punch He-Man'. You loaded his backpack with caps and each time he 'punched' a cap went off. It was pretty cool for about five minutes.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.
