They are still HUGH, but the Autumn (fall) colours (colors) start by mid July and the bark oozes a black sticky fluid.
This is all in the last five years, after you evacuated back west.
Many have been chopped down because the heart wood has rotten out.

To save her ill son , afield mouse must seek
the aid of a colony of super-intelligent rats,
with whom she has a deeper link than she
ever suspected.

Nope, never seen or read that.
That may have to change, it involves mice.

Please remember to have your passport endorsed as such if you decide to visit the Uk again.
You will be sent to the nearest School yard and reeducated in the ancient art of 'Conkers'.
A game of strategy and luck,whereby one player smashes his 'nut' into the suspended 'nut' of the other player.
The object being to smash your opponents Conker to bits and thereby obtain a rating for your Conker.
Achieve a second victory and your Conker becomes a 'Twoer' etc etc etc.
Much fun was had by all. :)

Ah, what do you know? You should have been zotted long ago. You probably aren't even a true-blue conservative. I bet you voted for Romney. I don't know why I bother.

Etc., etc., etc.

Did I get close? :)

Here in the states the “conker” would likely be banned as an assault weapon and anyone who seemed to enjoy swinging them (and occasionally, accidentally-on-purpose, at someone’s head) would have the manhood counseled out of them.

Ahhhhh....yessssszzzzz...How in the world could I forget THAT??

And speaking of passports, mine is up for renewal next year, and I WILL renew it, just in case there is an occasion for me to use it! LOL!

(Thanks, Moosie! You are awesome!)

F’geddabouddit.

If I need a favah, I know who to go to.

The Stig is singing but all I want to do is smack him. Does that answer your question?

The mag size is limited to Twenty Conkers.
They come in clips of ten.
There is no statute of limitation on the number of clips you may posses but they must all be from different trees.
Also the string must be no more than a foot long and either revolver or semi-auto.
No section 6 aloud.

I understand that only happens in the case of being caught with a conker in a sling shot.
