Phone the operator and say "is that the operator on the line" when they said yes we'd say well get off theres a train coming. Sounds stupid now but it used to make us piss.

[Simoman 110]

Yep, and phone BT and ask to speak to buzby........one for the over 30's

I read a story once where a guy used to ride his tricycle between two large rocks guarding a walkway. One day the rocks were moved closer together.......

 

Anyway, i'm sure you can work out the rest..........

when i was about 6 my mate and me found some empty paint tins once and he decided to throw them all on the railway line,took a fair few fire engines to sort that one out lol

[John Keswick 119]

Have you put this after reading the comment i just put up simo?

i done all you did,who didnt Plus we used to pour tins of paint into the post boxes,push full bins over and what we thought was funny was to lay our push bike next to the road andd lay next to it as though we had been hit by a car but when a car stops,get up and peddle like feck

did end up in the court house a couple of times for setting fire to sheds,poaching trout etc but nothing too serious the most stupid thing which springs to mind was lock jumping and playing chicken on the railway lines.

i have 3 sons,a stepson and a baby due,worries me shitless they will do it!

 

Everything you said apart from the paint in the postbox.

 

Our village was rated the worst in hampshire for a couple of years, and i used to get the fooking blame for everthing.

 

I can remember setting light to a derelict house door once and it got outta hand, then me and all my mates were on the roof of same house when the meat wagon turned up, nowhere to run, we all got nicked and taken to the station giggling like a bunch of teenage kids, hang on we were teenage kids. But i was the only fooker with an egg in pocket at the time which happened to get broken on the way to the station, we were asked to turn out our pockets so i did

Firework time was the most dangerous, every fooker was armed and packing

I remember lighting an air bomb just as the local copper came round the corner on his motorbike, course everyone panicked and went all directions, just as he got level with the bomb, up it went, whoosh BANG! Who got the blame? Yep me! LOL Lucky he didnt make me turn my pockets out, cause they were full of explosives.

 

We used to break the sticks off of mini rockets and light em when there was a crowd, then watch them dance

 

We even had our favourite knock and run door, the bloke was a fitness freak and already had is runnin shoes on waiting for us, so we wised up to that, a bunch of us used to hide in the hedge opposite his house, get a fast runner to do the knocking then laugh like f*****g idiots when he came tearing out the door.

 

I remember someone getting shot between the eyes with a air pistol, lucky f****r, but he had a big red dot for ages so we used to call budbud

 

I always had at least one box of crow scarers, as you do, to blow shit up! Used to light them and see who could sit nearest to them when the went off, if a flint caught your right it hurt like feck. Then we turned to putting them in milk bottles, they went off like a grenade

 

My mate set his dads caravan on fire and burnt the fecking thing right down, it went up a gooden.

Used to go over salisbury plain on motorbikes looking for the landwardens in their landrovers, they didnt have a hope in hell of catching us.

 

Then we got cars, and went racing which was is another story in itself

 

All in all it was a fantastic childhood, i wish i was back there now, a laugh a minute. But someone always had to take it to the next level, no matter what we did.

[chalkedup 14]

we used to make up cardboard number plates with obscenities on them and tape them to peoples cars lol

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

 

Pretty much the same as you Simo, but we called Cat Crawling, hedge hopping!

 

A few years back when we were having a drink in the garden of my old place and got talking about hedge hopping. We were all steaming, & I thought it might be fun to have a go for old times sake...

 

I commando dived over my neighbours wooden fence, then dived over (through..) the 8 foot hedge the other side off a plastic patio chair... It was going well until I cleared the hedge & landed straight on next door neighbour but one's patio set, smashed the table in two and scattered the chairs all over the garden.. I exited the garden like a startled cat, straight over a wooden panel fence the other side of the garden!

 

I told her I done it not so long ago, luckily she had a good sense of humour!

Not much I would admit to about my childhood days on the internet but we did used to do hedgehopping. I remember my friend Chris racing me across some gardens and he pushed me over to get past, I stumbled and looked up just in time to see him 6ft in front of me go from vertical to horizontal in half a second. Some old dear had got fed up with us and stretched wire across her garden. He could literally only just breathe for the rest of the night.

i used to phone taxi's to the local pub ant throw all my mams eggs at the drivers when they got out the cars. when the eggs were gone i used the spuds.

i also used to stand opposite lamp posts and pretend to pulla rope when the traffic came.. i stoped when i got slapped

 

 

Thats a good point we all got up to a bit of mischief as lads.And if you got cauth you got a small slap and took it.All part of the game.Do that now and its jail time.The youngsters know it and play on it .Little cheeky b*****ds.

[badgerboy 3]

["Earth!" 503]

Its different now,the younger generation would sooner sit in groups around towns drinking,taking drugs,robbing houses and cars and mugging the elderly
