Hmmm.Well, one day some with some friends we were messing around up a hill where I lived, and I kicked a big boulder over.
This boulder, which must have weighed 25kg, started rolling down the hill, and ended up going through someones campsite at about 60mph, taking most of their camping gear with it, ending with a spectacular jump, straight through one side of their tent and out the other.
(luckily, nobody was in the tent - this would have been a different sotry . . .)
As soon as we saw the rock starting to roll, we had all ducked out of sight.
So we casually sauntered in a roundabout way to the scene of utter devastation, to find the campers, weekend utterly ruined, staring with dismay at the apparent plane wreck.
'Oooh. What happened?' I said.
'Looks like that rock slipped down the hill' They said.
'Bummer' I said.
