Catapults!!!

[longers]

We used to go on cub camp to Beattock and the highlight of the week was a trip into Moffat to the joke shop to buy catapults. We used to spend hours trying to get them to "ricochet" off the tarmac

My two catapults were confiscated by my parents when I was about 11. Imagine my pleasure, and my parents being totally oblivious, when I discovered that my mum's plastic kitchen spoon was far more accurate and projected stones and marbles a far greater distance.

First time I ever shot a catapult I managed to hit my own thumb !
