:eek:Some kind of dredger .... ? :eek:
At first I thought he was testing the bullet proofness of a helmet because I can't believe he's doing a finishing job on a failed execution ... :shock: |

I remember seeing a video of a man testing a bulletproof vest by being shot with a handgun at close range. Seemed an extremely dangerous way of testing the vest to me. I don't know that I'd trust anybody, no matter good a shot, to place the bullet exactly on the vest.

It's the tankard your beer comes in when it's a Yorkshireman's turn to buy a round … :D:big_tongue:

It is a signal cannon I saw one in a pawn stars episode on the History channel. I think it is called a thunder bug. The expert who was called in to appraise the object said that it was used in the 18th. century to summon Quarantine officers etc. When a ship first entered a port and went to anchor. The reason for the small size was to save powder in other words you got more bang for your buck. I can not remember how much it was sold for but it was a good few bob.

Only a Yorkshireman could think of blowing your beer straight into your face in order to avoid paying for the round …. :big_tongue:
