It's a school yard sport. Horse chestnut on a string. You get 3 goes at hitting your opponents (they have keep it still), then they get 3 goes at hitting yours. The first conker to break is the loser, the winner becomes a oner. Two wins makes it a twoer. If you beat a winner, you to add get their score to yours. So a twoer beating a fiver becomes a sevener.
You will get hurt playing this, it's part of it's charm :p

We've just had the world conker championships near us and did I go and take some photos? I think you all know the answer to that. If I had I'd have posted them by now. Double Doh!

Hah, I thought with Xboxes, Gameboys and what-have-you this game had gone out with the phones where you dialled the circular rings :lol:. Do kids still play marbles? Used to love marbles and let's not forget hopscotch! In the latter years of my junior school I went to an all girls school and stingers was my favourite. The two netball posts were 'home' and the person who was 'on' threw a tennis ball at the players running from one base to the next. They counted to ten and you had to be off the one post and running to the other before ten. Usually about 5-10 players. I'm sure health and safety put paid to that one!

Sounds a bit like our Rounders Ann, but without the health and safety code breach.

And you need an undergrad degree in math to start . . . ?
 
Watching the Hong Kong Ladies Open 10 days ago. My friend Kim's daughter was the compère so Kim organised a 'box' and invited me and Tom twice because I keep her company in the afternoon before the rest of the troops arrive. Here's Wozza (who eventually won) in the quarter finals I think against one of the Chinese players (sorry, forgot her name!).

We've booked tickets to see the WTA Finals in Singapore next Saturday night.

I always wondered why sports had to be so violent and hated them as a kid: dodge ball, tether ball, flag football. Egads. Hopscotch was more my speed... [emoji849]
