I had one conker which was hard as stone!
I found it down the back of a cupboard having been there for probably a couple of years. It had completely dried out yet wasn't brittle. It was only about an inch in size, so would take a few hits to beat the opposition, but they could hit mine as hard as possible and it wouldn't do a thing.

cooking them in the oven really didn't work too, just stank out the kitchen

I heard putting them in vinegar made them hard aswell... . Never tried because my brother put me off, hit me round the back of the legs several times then hung me on the door handle on my boxer shorts... until i bled.. .

I was only five-ish .. Then his girlfriend came upstairs, unhooked me and beat him up with a wooden spoon .

Sounds like an episode of Punch and Judy!

A broken finger was enough to put me off conkers for life

Im sure the ******* aimed for my hand....

That was the whole point! duh

Elementary Tactic No1
Smack your opponents knuckles hoping to break them in an unfortunate foul move that your "ever so" sorry about, which makes your opponent unable/unwilling to play you properly.
Once your reputation is established as a knuckle breaker, your kudos in the playground instantly rises

"but remember you have to be able to take a hit without flinching as well when someone pays you back"

thread wins 5 stars, would read again.


by the way, no inheritance. Inheritance is for first borns, not conkers

Epoxy resin

My Dad, used to bake mine I think, so the flesh shrank, then drilled a small through it, then injected the whole thing with Araldite...thread it. Jobs a goodun!
