Inlight of the forthcoming season and, virtual as we are, how about a virtual conker comp??
Post up a pic of your prize specimen, suitably varnished/pickled/baked/dried in the crack of yer grandads harris/whatever BUT.......
.... you MUST have a pic complete with a ruler or grid square so we (admins and the great unwashed!) can judge and a poll can be created to suit. ;D
Kinda gets shot of the strings too short/thick/stretchy argument but introduces other side arguments, subject to admin adjudication as required..... ;)

Just to avoid confusion ( and potential raids by the Porn Polis) we are talking the traditional schoolboy, end of a string, back corner of the playground 'ye twitched ya bandit' conker comp, not any sort of XXX rated cheapo porn show.....

Sorry, thats disqualified on a couple of counts...
Its a) apple and b) no ruler to compare the size with.
PS - No photoshops allowed. Try to make it a straight (!) competition and, who knows, a bottle of my local firewater may well be in the offing to the lucky winner..... ;)

That is a Stokie Conker!!
Photoshop what is that :o
Have not got a ruler ::)

The end date is a wee bit flexible, given the range of maturation of conkers through the north/south length of OOFland. Lets just see how it runs.... ;)
Will name the prize at a bottle of malt, delivered to the winner. 8-)
