If you aren't bidding perhaps you could go and play in a bath full of brake fluid? Originally Posted by Hols4Heroes Duty Tyrant - If not online please dial Hitler, Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Saddam Hussein or any other member of my evil gang. Camberwell carrot is still very much a cunt

You used to be able to buy one in an air fix type kit down at Beatties. Replica obviously
I’ve heard that fact, that is you eat more than 6 bananas it will kill you.
I saw a bowl with 7 bananas in it, and i thought, that’s dangerous.

The M43 type had the arming mechanism and fuse in the head, not the handle.

call yourself an anorak... your now demoted to "kagoul".... ref the grenade in the original post its a replica of the german WW1 M1915 stick grenade ..which in original form was friction igniter initiated ,this was by pulling a piece of wire which ran through the handle but instead of using a cord as in the ww2 types it was just a piece of wire and did not require a safety cap as it was held safe with a piece of adhesive tape Originally Posted by JoeCivvie Oh shite - *anorak mode - ON*
