strange things we did when we were kids

[Carstairs]

Starting Fires regularly, lol....

Would nip into the local Pakistani shop and say I was buying 10p box of Matches for my Mother.

Big grass fires and we'd run away to watch the Fire Engines coming.

Fireman Sam has a lot to answer for, Haha....

Sitting at mates houses, big gangs of lads having "bucket sessions" basically bucket, filled with water, empty bottle and you'd fill it with weed smoke.

How the parents never knew what we where upto.

Many of the kids I would hang around with have died now, either prolonged drug misuse, suicide or some are still at it except they prefer the heavier drugs these days.

All of this lol. Used to love lighting fires, old houses, piles of rubbish, peoples garden hedges... That was 'tight'. Nicking the sand bags out of traffic cones too, used to rip holes in them and just pour sand out everywhere. I have no idea why. I remember my mates little brother used to love frosty weather, he'd boil kettle after kettle to pour outside and watch from the bedroom window for ages as folk went arse over tit on the patches of ice he had created.

Why did he use boiling water? Why not just make the ice with cold water?

Hot water freezes faster, it's the Mpemba effect.

I used to go everywhere with my eyes shut as practice for when i went blind.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Me and my mate went into a train tunnel and put a dead bird on the track, we then waited for the train to arrive as we dropped our trolleys, the aim was to see who got the most bird spatter on their arse. I kid you not, I lost but only as my mate had a bigger surface area on his arse, we nearly got sucked onto the track too.. Don't even ask, just writing this is surreal but its totally true..!

I thought I had a troubled upbringing............

I used to go off with the milkman on his rounds on his float,thank god i got lucky and he was a harmless old bloke
Hiding and waiting till the postman put his bag down and filling it up with mud and stones
playing the fainting game in the school loo,very dangerous game but seemed fun at the time

So just to re cap,you got lucky with a harmless old bloke (the milkman) and you would 'go off' together.

I was about 8yrs old and pestered my mum to let me go on his rounds on the float.No-one worried about paedo's in those days but i was lucky he was harmless

Building a den out of pallets, piss stained mattresses and old settees, to guard our bonfire.

And setting fire to rival ones.... before checking if anybody was in it... FFS!

We also used to play dog shit tick, which involved getting shit on a stick, then chasing down your mates and throwing the shit stick at them and if they got hit, they were it. = quote]

We played that too. Tag or tig depending on your region. Without the shit though :)

Used to rob dustcaps to put on our bikes!

When I was young and went for a wee, I would see if any shit stains were in the bog, and if there were I would piss on them to try and wash them off. I also at primary school used to play a pissing game, where you would stand in a line and see who could piss up the wall (in the toilets) the highest.

Happy days!.<br /><br />-- Wed Feb 12, 2014 3:00 pm --<br /><br />
