Surely He'd Be Bonkers To Try And Cheat At Conkers.

This kind of thing needs to be ironed out. Just nuts.

I thought you would take your own conker but it seems you select a pre-prepared one at random - who knew?

[Khandro]

The man's a cad, an utter bounder !

"But the 82-year-old was found to have a metal replica in his pocket when he was searched by organisers after his victory."

I wonder why he was searched. Routine, perhaps?

[davebro3]

probably tested for drugs too...

[Old_Geezer]

David eh ?

I was sure he'd be a William.

[sandyRoe]

If he wasn't so old I'd suggest that the victims of his cheating beat him with conkers until he sees the error of his ways.

As has been said earlier, he's a cad, a bounder, a bad hat

//Kelci Banschbach, 34, from Indianapolis, defeated the men’s champion in the grand final to become the first American to win the competition. More than 200 people took part.//

Uhh

I thought the final was between Jakins and Ferguson ?

[maggiebee]

Yes Naomi or soak them in vinegar.

[Bazile]

Yes, when we were kids some kids used to 'enhanced' the performance of their nuts
