" Far too dangerous for todays softies though. What with all the risk assesments and H&S rules. Shame really."

True. I started up by buying radios and tvs at jumble sales, often they needed repairing. My parents often saw me launched across the room after having received a huge shock. They look on smiling thinking that i was a real card. They never tried to curb my dangerous pursuits and it formed me and made me the man I am today.
Nowadays every special forces mission kicks off with a risk analysis and the health and safety officer is consulted. Seatbelts on toilets will be the next thing.
