Is this still played?
I remember during my school years taking it very seriously soaking them in vinegar then baking them as this would somehow make them harder.

When I was a kid I had a set of crackers (no off-colour/trans remarks, please). The bully boy on our street took them from me and threw them up in the air. They wound themselves around a telegraph pole* wire and there they remained for many years. Could still be there for all I know.
I hated that kid. He also put my 'pet' grass snake's** head inside his cap gun and pulled the trigger. My snake*** died within minutes.

Tell you what you don't see anymore...
Years back amongst all the ants and ladybirds in back gardens, there were also those tiny little red dot insects...where have they all gone? I miss them.

Drill them, string them, THEN put them in a brown paper bag in a cupboard for a bit.

A particularly virulent firm of bleeding canker is currently buggering up horse chestnuts left right and centre.
Might all be gone before I snuff it.
Beautiful tree, especially the candles in spring.
