John Keswick 119 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Despite all the trouble I used get into, which was a lot, I did used to go hunting quite a bit, mostly when I was supposed to be at school. Used to ride into school in the mornings, do the registration, then get back on my bike and feck of home, pop my old camo jacket on, grab the spade and dogs and off I went, roaming the local fields. Used to spend all day rabbiting, there were some favourite fields which were rough grass and stingers, loaded with rabbits, the dogs were pretty cute and knew the score, I used beat the stingers out as the dogs surrounded them and nail the escapees. None of them were any good to eat, unless you liked crushed bone in yer meat lol. Surprising the amount of rabbits you can catch yourself just by walking through long stingers, watch for the movement and where it stops, then with a good aim stamp! After a good auld session, the dogs used to be stung to f**k, their heads all bumpy and itching, so on the way home they used to jump in the river to cool off then get shit high in mud and crap ready to go home. Then it was out to find some more trouble to get into. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest thebigdog Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) done most of the above. we used to get someone to lay on the footpath next to a busy road and pretend to kick the shit out of him, the cars going up and down the road would screech to a halt and the drivers would get out any chase us, then go back to find out if the lad was alright only to find him legging it up the road, pissing himself laughing. used to love the shite pipes too, we got a length of 2in pvc pipe and thru it into the grass hard, filling the end with muck and dog shit, then swingin the pipe at a house/car/person, the muck would fly out of it sticking to what ever it hit. was funny at the time, wasnt funny when some wee bast@rd done it to my house last night the funniest thing was supergluing a pound to the floor in a bar and watching people pissed trying to pick it up. had some laughs covering the toilet in the bar with cling film too, watching people coming out covered in piss.

SNAP SHOT 194 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 growing up where i did i had a lot of freedom, most of my childhood was spent, building shelters and camping out in them in the woods, learning to make trap, etc. fishing, and then putting a line of petrol across teh road during halloween, and once the cars where near lighting it, tying string to door knockers, and been far away pulling the fishing line, still cracks me up thinking on that one, would leave the house in the morning on school holidays and head to the hills, built a raft and fell asleep on it, friends thought it would be fun not to waken me, in the boiling sun............... and i suffered for 2 weeks catching fish on my dads boat bigger than i was at the time...!!!! tope mostly and some blue shark...

undisputed 1,664 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 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 Chap doors run away.set fire to dustbins. Let car tyres down. Collect strays from abandoned buildings.& nick cole from bunkers at night and rolls and newspapers from the local shop before it opened. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
