Poor you, never had the conker's hit me but sure have, copped the log, we threw up to get them down with, a few time's.....even got knocked out once, as a kid. That's when I wasn't climbing the trees, and falling out of them.....Bad Beige..

lol When I was in grade school we had to wait for the bus under two of these trees.
There was'nt one day in the fall that you would see some poor kid crying because of these seeds falling from the trees!
