Simoman 110 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Just wondered what sort of things you got upto as kids, we used to do knock a door run and also collect dog poo, wrap it in newspaper, light it and leave it on someones doorstep before ringing the bell and legging it.........cat crawling was also a favourite, this involved climbing fences and hedges at one end of the street to get the the other, all across back gardens.....'orrible little b*****ds we were Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OldNog 432 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 one of my favorite things was with a mate holding up a letter box flap on a front door and screaming as loudly as possible or making fart nosies with your hands and legging it. Also on the rare occasions it snowed as a kid making a snowball and squashing it together so tight it turned into a ball of ice and lobbing it at peoples patio doors. What a noise it would make haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chalkedup 14 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 cant beat a bit of hedge hopping lol used to tie wallets and foreign money to fishing line and reel it in through the front room window, great fun in the day and even better when the pubs close we used to set up trip wires at all heights along a old dark dirt alley behind my house and take in turns running down it in the dark as fast as we could lol drag each other round on a bit of rope tied to the back of a motor bike spin up the roundabout as fast a poss and slide off and let the studs on our jeans make sparks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

"Earth!" 503 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Another thing i remember. was about 8-10yrs ago,i was on the beer at the local club with the lads and needed some fags but this meant going to the shop. the short cut was an alleyway with a knackered old street light.1/2 way down there was some bollards from the road workers so i walked past them and dissapeared down a fecking hole yep,some little twats thought it would be funny to move the bollards from around the hole in the path knowing some cock would fall down it never did find out who moved them and yes,it really fecking hurt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
