Wiggles31 Posted 8 February, 2012 Share Posted 8 February, 2012 Me and my mates used to hide behind this small hill on the edge of a country road and throw eggs at cars. Can't believe we never nearly killed anyone! My brother threw one at a car with its window down with a pearl of a shot, egg exploding all over the interior. All for the buzz of getting chased and having to hide in the woods from boy racers and pikeys. Great days. What mental things did you lot do?

shurlock Posted 8 February, 2012 Share Posted 8 February, 2012 (edited) Usual sh*t: went driving without a licence, sold a load of fake designer clobber from Thailand, climbed on neighbours rooves, demolished a fruit machine, bunked school, often bet to see how long it took the Indian in the local cornershop to lose his rag for reading magazines, drove golf balls in the lounge, using the settee as a net, nicked others golf balls while they were on their rounds to provoke a chase, helped myself to about 500 McDonalds Monopoly scratchcards, turned the lights off during the national anthem at cubs/scouts for which I was kicked out and lots of nonsense with fireworks, gas taps and bunsen burners (not at the same time) etc etc Edited 8 February, 2012 by shurlock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMikey Posted 8 February, 2012 Share Posted 8 February, 2012 On our way back from school, me and my neighbours who also went to my school (2 or 3 years older than me though) would push each other into a deep ditch at the top of our road which was covered over by a load of overgrown thorns and branches. I pushed my mate in there one time after school when he got his ankle caught on a vine on the floor, snaring him, smashing his glasses and making him bang his head on the concrete bit where the ditch had been dug out. Needless to say he was concussed and we had to wait with him until he could say the alphabet backwards, then we f*cked off home! The ditch was about 5ft deep, so it was a big fall but the trick was to land with your arse on the bank and bump down from there. I must've been about 9 or 10 when we did that. All the other usual stuff like chucking deodrant cans on bonfires, wrecking hay bales in fields, getting p!ssed up (when I was a bit older, mind) etc. My childhood wasn't that long ago, don't know why I feel nostalgic now.

Kingsland Codger Posted 9 February, 2012 Share Posted 9 February, 2012 Mental things? I once learnt by heart the German prepositions that take the Dative - (aus, ausser, bei, mit, nach, zeit, von and zu) together with those that took the Accusative (bis, durch, fur, gegen, oder, um, weider and entlang). It is possible I've got them the wrong way around. This was back in the 60s when learning by rote was the norm. Looking back, I cannot think of anything more utterly wasteful of my time.

StDunko Posted 9 February, 2012 Share Posted 9 February, 2012 Made a few home made roman candle fireworks: wine bottles buried up to their necks filled with gun powder (friend's Dad was into guns and made his own bullets, hence access to plenty of the stuff). Drop a match in the top and run, 40ft flames and a sound like a jet taking off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVicar Posted 9 February, 2012 Share Posted 9 February, 2012 I burnt down half of Hilliers in Chandlers Ford, the land was sold for posh houses. I tell you Bamboo goes off like gunshots, after getting home over the back fence I told my Dad I knew nothing about it. Me and my mate would lay next to the railway track as the freight trains would come past, this was in Chandlers Ford too. We also made regular runs through a culvert with our little AA torches, then sneak through peoples gardens via the river. I burnt all of my brothers German Airfix planes after throwing them out of the window. Raided many building sites for odds and sods. I was only 40.

Wadge Posted 9 February, 2012 Share Posted 9 February, 2012 When we were about 12 & 14 me & my brother were playing football in the back garden and it started to get dark. Parents were out and didn't want to stop playing so we needed some light. So we made a football out of rags all tied up tight, covered it in petrol, set it on fire, then proceeded to kick it round the back garden, whilst wearing shell suit bottoms!!!! Suprised the neighbours didn't see it to be fair. My bro also used to make homemade bombs and rockets which we used to fire in the back garden. If my boys did this I would kick their arses.

JackFrost Posted 9 February, 2012 Share Posted 9 February, 2012 I remember when I was a lad in the late 70s/early 80s when a bloke down my road was keeping something in his shed that stunk the entire street out for months, and the authorities did nothing about it. A couple of whiskeys on Guy Fawkes night later when he'd gone away, me and a mate went round to the field behind his house and blew his shed up with a home made bomb. The firework used was way more powerful than we thought so instead of blowing the door off as originally intended it sent the whole thing into the sky. We must have have run a good hundred yards from when he lit the fuse and we were still being showered with pieces of wood. As the field was in complete darkness no-one saw us. About 18 months later I joined the police force and being a paper pusher initially worked in the archives. I nearly died of laughter when I came across the old boy's original report in the 'unsolved' section when in the notes it said something along the lines of "most likely cause was spontaneous combustion of an unknown substance contained within the shed, which was of an extensive volume" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
