    If it is meant to deliver sweets to kiddies you need to read a book "Shooting from the Lip" by Lee Hughs. Hughs was a Gunnery Officer, and after he got out wrote a couple of books regaling all and sundry with the myriad of shenanigans Young Officers and Warrant Officers got up to in those bygone years.

    One Xmas the School of Artillery in Waiouru used a 25 pounder (or was it a 105?) to deliver quite a few kgs of sweeties to the assembled kiddies at their annual Xmas function. But Santa was a tad pissed, was a wee bit generous with the black powder charge used to distribute the sweeties, and levelled an entire playing field of kiddies with molten sweets delivered just a wee bit faster than was necessary, or indeed healthy for said kiddies.

    That is a good book didnt it include a left hand drive rx7 doing warp speed down the highway at some point too?

    Would pay to see hard boiled sweets at 600fps take out a few spoilt brats!

    Yep, that's Lee. He was besotted with those RX7's.

    He wrote another book, 'Straight from the horses arse'. Another ripping yarn, but I can attest that its not a work of fiction...it all happened

    I imagine that many a snowflake would shit their pants, just reading the contents of those two books. Let alone be a witness to the shenanagans we managed to get away with.

    Hey mate, where did you get your mini toaster and blender? I've got quite a small kitchen, and these would be perfect...

    Haha, that toaster is more than meets the eye.
    It is a toaster/kettle combo. Perfect for a small kitchen.
    You cannot have it. Unless you can find me some large rifle primers...

    Holy hell, the rarest of rare! The toothiest of hen's teeth! And that toaster must be pretty rare too...

    Interested to know where you get your tiny bread... or do you just cut a normal sized piece into quarters?

    Top effort though. Putting the 'pin' in piņata...
