Just a driving license so you can drive your mate to hospital after firing a nail through a 2x2 batten and his thumb joint on the other side !

When I was a teenager there was a local jewellers that had a new window fitted, they were in the paper bragging about how bullet proof it was. Very soon afterwards someone went up to it and fired a few nails through it into the shop.

Not me, but it still makes me smile 40 years later.

Sounds like he`s an old mate lol.
I remember as an 18 year that was told to fix a 4' x 2" rail onto the side of a clinker brick (very hard) wall using a Ramset gun.
Yellow/red crackers were no good so I put a purple one into the gun. Bang, nothing, the rail fell down and the sheila inside the house came out and said " blah blah blah" took me inside and showed where the nail had come through the plaster across the room and bounced off the far plaster wall.
No doubt they will go through a jewellers window.
