Does anyone remember rockets that you half filled with water then pumped up with a bike-pump then released? They were incredibly powerful, over 100ft at 50+ mph and a water vapour trail. Lethal if used as a weapon. Think they were made in Germany probably modelled on the V2.

Yeah , we used to make them with pram wheels .... or any wheels we could find for that matter !

It'd take us all day to make the bogie cart then some c*nt would get on it , ride down the nearest hill , and end up with it wrapped around a lamp-post!
