kenny14 656 Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 A big chemistry set [bANNED TEXT] i was about ten i still dont know why they fekin bought it me hopefully to poisen mi sen lol I got a chemistry set one year too. After Christmas dinner when all the adults were relaxing in the living room, I mixed a load of the chemicals in a test tube, and was a little disappointed when nothing happened, so I thought it'd be a good idea to warm the mixture up on the gas cooker, but after I'd given the test tube a really good shake to mix it all up, I never took the rubber bung out, so when it got hot it exploded like a cannon, all over the ceiling. Another year, when I was really into sea fishing, one of my stocking fillers was a mould to make my own weights (which I was told I must only do under supervision). A few days after christmas when I was in the house alone I decided no one would be any wiser if I made a few weights before anyone returned. I used one of my Mothers best pans to melt some lead, and everything seemed to be going really well until I lifted the pan to pour the lead, and the handle was that hot that I just dropped the lot, and it melted most of the kitchen flooring which was new just before Christmas. Ahhhh memories lol 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Duncan 802 Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 I remember my lil bro got a 'Big Trak' when he was about 8. My parents recently got one for the smaller grandkids and it brought back a lot of memories. I reckon it was ahead of time as i think its still a goer now. Kerplunk? I invented 'Cat Kerplunk'. Simply load up the family cat when it is totally zoundo and wait til the load gets so much it moves and sheds some of its load - hours of fun Quote Link to post Share on other sites
