I was walking through a local park recently and conkers lying everywhere. We used to throw sticks up for hours to get conkers. I guess health and safety has taken over. The danger of getting hit on your knuckles during a conker fight.

i picked some up yesterday and i genuinely had some sort of call of the void moment, where i had an urge to throw them at random cars passing by
it was weird and frankly scary
