Ever had one of these?


I bought one of these as Minnie the Minx, of the Beano comic, had one. I did manage to break one of the window panes of the shed before parents intervened with painful sanctions and the thing was consigned - much to my regret - to the ashes! It was fun while it lasted though, even though I suffered the same fate as the fictional Minnie very often did and sitting down was somewhat problematic for a time!

hurt my fingers sometimes using the catapult, but that was nothing compared to the bottom roastings and canings i received later

@Dez580 I don't recall ever hurting my fingers like that but I frequently had a sore bottom as a result of using a catapult and other projectile weapons.

There was a craze for catapults in my school when I was 8. Parents did not approve and I and my friends had a painful encounter with the parental slipper.

@Sharon I think they had no shortage of reasons or opportunities

@sarahcs I must have just missed out. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
