hiya,
Iāll stay at ground level and catch emā Dave no head for heights .
thanks harry, long retired.
I might use my catapult to get them down Harryā¦Now where did I leave my catapult.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
I always had a catapult as a kid in fact Dave, I was an expert in the manufacture
of that very weapon thatās if there was the old inner tube about for the necessary
propulsion material, my Mam was always telling me youāll have somebodyās eye out
with that thing, but Itās funny (with the exception of Long John Silver) I never ever
came across a person who had damaged vision as a result of me aiming my weapon
in their direction, I often wonder what my teacherās did with all the catapults they
confiscated from me on the odd occasionās I showed up at school, but I always knew
of a tree that had a suitable fork in it for my next project you see I was a budding
entrepeneur āif I could spell itā in those far off days. Ohā as a sideline I did breed and
sell albino rats and that brought in in a few bob until their mothers sent the kids to
my house with the merchandise and demanding their money back.
thanks harry, long retired.
I can see you were the local wheeler dealer in your neck of the woods Harry. I did have a catapult, but donāt remember what happened to it. The one I had was made with proper catapult elastic which an old boy in a local market town shop sold,along with guns and air gun pellets etc. When you bought the catapult elastic the crafty old sod used to stretch it and charge for more than you actually had.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Dave old inner tube rubber cut carefully into half inch strips was the ideal stone
propellant motorcycle inner tubes was the best consistency I was never wealthy
enough to be able to afford the proper stuff, so like everything else in my life-
time it was make do and mend and itās stood me Ok Iāll tell you.
thanks harry, long retired.
My Uncle has an ironmongers shop and he was still selling catapults a couple of years ago. I will have to see if they still have any. I did offer to buy Tracy one,she told me ---- off.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
How ungrateful Dave what a fantastic present for a Birthday or at Christmas
some people donāt understand the thought behind such a gift, should I have a
word with Tracy, better not Iād most likely get told to leave the room as well.
thanks harry, long retired.

You are very welcome to have a word with her Harry. I have several times offered to buy her a ferret,so that she could go rabbiting to get some money. We have a terrier to catch the rabbits after the ferret has bolted them. I try my best to be kind.

No I havenāt Harry, but I know they are a seriously powerful piece of kit. The son of one of my mateās had one and it would rattle the branches on big trees when he fired a stone from it.
Cheers Dave.
Well in my school boy days I was known as the catapult kid, I used to go to the local blacksmiths in the pit yard at Seaton Burn & get what we called punchings, They were small round bits of metal that were great for the old catapult, Lethal mind you if you missed your target & hit someone that got in the way, We used to have competitions from time to time & I quite often won some of them, Of course the young ones to-day know nothing of what went on in the 30/40s Era, All they know to-day is I phones & nothing else matters to them, Sad really But thatās the way things are now. Regards Larry.
Larry, you must grow wryly in your olde age, you must say, Iām buying it for you darling, so you give it to me, so that I can cherish you more and more as I sip this necture and think what a wise beautilful caring woman I have married. She will be so bowled over, she may buy you one for birthday & christmas.
