      Please use spoiler tags in future this hasn’t been aired on Dave yet.

      Ah yes, conkers, a sport of such physicality and intense high level competition that it requires gendered championships.

      Technically it’s a ‘Horse Chestnut’. Taking a Chestnut to a conker fight…… you know the rest.

      Bring back hanging.

      Appalling behaviour.

      I dread to think of what such a depraved mind is capable of.

      How fucking sad would have to be to cheat in a game of conkers?

      Will Ferrell’s agent doing anything to buy the rights to this script.

      This is actually a steel chestnut in a sea of shitty reformbait posts

      So I am happy to read about this

      Wait, the winner/suspect was also a judge, AND was also responsible for drilling others’ conkers?

      Was the steel conker painted to look like a real conker? I need pictures! Also didn’t realise you had to pick a conker from a bag. Seems playground rules are different. Also vinegar or the oven don’t work. I tried that 30 years ago.

      Cheating at conkers is at the heart of the game, from soaking them in vinegar to using aged conkers from the year before. The game should be renamed to “let’s find out what sketchy shit we we can get away with” and made our national sport.

      Was it just a thing that every school seemed to have one super try hard kid who’d have prepared a conker for an entire year (probably with dad’s help) to make a ultra hard conker?

      Ruined it for everyone… I remember the kid at our school dropped his special conker that was destroying everyone and we all started stamping on it to break it and he ran off crying. Deserved IMHO

      You can strip him of the titles but you can never give the moment of victory back to the true conkitstadors
