Boys' Week: Day 6

We've always had a soft spot for trebuchets, those huge medieval catapults which used to fling dead cows into castles. Initially this was used as an invasion tactic, but as time went on it became something to do when there was nothing on the telly. Be honest, if you had the choice between watching yet another round of X Factor auditions or hurling a cow over a wall, which would you rather do?

Sadly the market for trebuchets these days has dwindled (largely due to tougher restrictions on the sorts of places you can fling dead cows). Fortunately one man has not only kept the trebuchet alive, but also made it bigger, better and cooler than ever. Gentlemen, we present you with today's astonishing Boy Thing.



Whilst we can't promise anything quite as neighbour-pleasing as that, the good people at Boysstuff Ltd are offering 10% off everything this September. Just visit their site, choose from their brilliant range of gadgets and toys, then enter the promotional code 91BSPGD at the checkout. A 10% discount will be yours before you can say "Is that a Vauxhall Astra up ther-IT'S COMING TOWARDS US!!!"

PS Wanna buy a trebuchet?
