Bonkers Conkers

There was an item on the news tonight about a school which has made the wearing of protective goggles compulsory for pupils playing conkers. Protective goggles? I remember those being worn when I was at school, but only for complex scientific experiments involving bunsen burners - such as toasting insects and burning parts of other people's uniforms (usually the blazer, arf arf).

But conkers? Fucksake, what next? Cotton wool footballs? Jeeeeez.
