Childhood memories

[SWP's back]

What's everyones best memory from childhood?

Mine has to be the smell of City (piss, booze and fried onions) as you wound your way through the red brick back alley's around Maine Road before a game.

Either that or it always being sunny and always playing football at the park and the smell of cut grass.

Playing out all day, climbing trees, rope swings, 'pick up stick' on the roundabout.

Then I got a bit older and spent all my time trying to get a smelly finger ...

Yep all this, as well as 'Newting', sleep overs and the best one of course, discovering wanking.

Just any xmas up to the age of 10 was fookin magic (particularly if it was a game console xmas). The big inflatable Santa on the town hall and the rainbow lights in Manc back in the day. Used to lose my mind with excitement.

Mine was riding the handle bars of my mate's racer, when I was around 8. We were just riding around the blocks. It was a hot summer night and we were going downhill on the road riding into my street.

I remember closing my eyes and feeling the warm air passing through my shirt and around my face, then hearing my mother shout my name for going past curfew.

Weird, but powerful memory.

A sense of breaking the 'law' with the defiance of being 'free'.
