I witnessed a crimeFreddy Woo writes, "A group of us once staggered home so insensible with drink that we failed to notice someone being killed and buried in a shallow grave not more than 50 yards away. A crime unsolved to this day."
Have you witnessed a crime and done bugger all about it? Or are you a have-a-go hero?
Whatever. Tell us about it...

Griffin Close #3: The Guns of NorthfieldWhy would a fresher think (a) that a very convincing immitation handgun is a necessity, (b) that carrying it openly is a good idea, and (c) that it wouldn't be confiscated within about three seconds by the supervisors?
It turned out to be an air pistol, so, of course, before handing it to security, we primed it, put an "England's Glory" down the barrel, and, banking on the friction of match-head against air, used it to light the gas oven from the other side of the kitchen. Happy days.

Pedant AlertShurely more likely to be friction from the rifled steel barrel that it had just been spoinged out of?
I must admit I don't actually give a stuff as I can't wait to get home and have a go myself.
If I can just time it right so the cat is investigating the funny hissing noise at the time.....
Now that's what I call a proper experiment in friction. Makes me feel 3 years of a science degree weren't a waste after all.
