light the paper and stand well, well, well back
as a youth we had many a happy day creating explosions from a number of dangerous household and industrial items, my dad worked in consrtuction and would have in his toolbox little delights such as hilti cartridges (there are other cartridges available) from said cartridge it is possible to extract a small amount of propellant powder, from a lot of these it is possible to get a lot of powder to make bigger bangs....... anyhoo a friend of mine was visiting one day and found me opening the ends of the cartridges very gently with a nail and a hammer, ah hah... wait for it..................i showed him how to carefully extract the best bits without any mishaps and he asked me for some of these thingies so he could recreate the fun of knacking stuff with small explosions, ok says i.

next time i sees him he has a bandage round his hand and a dressing in between his eyes! i asked him what haad happened to which he replied he had hit the hammer quite hard...mmmmm and that had set off the powder mmmmmmmm which had scorched his hand and also sent the hammer straight back towards his face and twatted him in the forehead......... i almost pissed myself.....

we wern't allowed to be friends after that...

for those of you who may feel i was a little cruel please allow me to point out that this is the same person who managed to stick a gardening fork through his foot instead of into the ground when his dad shouted him in for tea


apologis for length...none it was a long time ago
