They wouldn't cope and would probably run out of smelling salts by the end after many attacks of "the vapours".
Ha! I don't think so. I have a firm control over what little hormonal urges I have at this age

@nev: how do you manage to look like a different person in every photo?
simple, kit maketh the man. or in fairness the lincoln and blore pictures were taken with decent cameras and the one of my regency kit with a camera phone which probably makes the difference
Well I wasn't doing anything at the time, as I was told to stand there while the picture was being taken and I didnt want to look directly at the camera...so yeah There was a picture of me working, but it wasn't so good.
'oooh! nice kirtle! Was it terribly cold this weekend, or was it ok?'
Thanks! The weather was lovely and sunny! It got a bit nippy in the morning and evenings but was generally fine, then again, I was in a room with TWO fires!

Yep, the hole really was made by a sword (and a poleaxe....and a bill!)...the joy of owning your own house!

It's a bloke thing. If you put enough men/boys in a house (or other enclosed area) for long enough at least one wall/door/window will need repairing.
Fortunately, not being a bloke, merely a Gentleman, I never have this problem.

What never? Not even by accident?
My (male) mate had this theory... men tend to add holes to the "decor" while women add cushions and curtains. If a man's flat suddenly gains soft furnishings he's aquired a girlfriend...
I'd agree about the soft furnishings, but the only holes that I have made in my flat so far, apart from ones to hang photos from, is the large one necessary to make a small wardrobe for the 2nd bedroom in the rather oversize 1st bedroom wardrobe.
Not everyone drinks lager made out of yellow flavoured water and watches football you know.
Plus, being my own home, I have no desire to break anything since I shall have to pay to replace it.

My dad's the same. BUT there was the time he accidentally threw an old type golf ball, one of the ones made of coiled rubber, onto the open fire (quick exit for the family), the time he did the ceiling with the Xmas fizz, the time he didn't realise his own strength pulling a lump hammer out of a pile of other stuff, the time when he was showing my brother how not to do a golf stroke, etc, etc

Well if anyone asks what happened, at least you'll be able to give an original answer!
If anyone who doesn't know Fletch saw it and asked what happened, they'd probably glance just to the side of it and see the pile of weapons stacked against the wall, think "hmm" and desperately make an excuse to leave.

Yo fletch,
I might need some doors replacing in the future, any idea how this could be done in a way in which I could get the old doors into the boot of the car to take to the tip?

Now we need to discuss my bill!
We have actually dismantled a mate's kitchen "roughly" so are available for likewise at a fee. This was before we took up re-enactment
