Stabs 3 Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 I'm laughing my head off here :11: :11: We used to spend most of our summers either fishing for newts and toads (after the nesting was over) or playing out on bikes. This was before BMX's though, when Grifters and Choppers were the kings! Quarries were like a magnet to us and we used to catch rats in them with my mates Dad's whippets. Bonfire building was a big thing too and you'd hit the jackpot if you found an old grot mag :11: :11: First 7" I bought? I sent my Mam into Bishop (Doggarts) to buy me "The Alibi" by Fun Boy Three First LP....Complete Madness Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You could take a perfectly nice cup of juice or water, and turn it into carbonated piss!...but all us kids used to love it!..lol. Shit sking was one of the best eh Royst...pity John took it up full time in the end eh!?..lol.. :11: What about that time we chucked that GIANT snow ball (it was realy the head of a snow man!) of that garden, and it hit that Land Rover and went through the wind screen!?...ive never done anything so stupid!... It was preaty funny when i hit Olli over the head with that giant Gob-Stopper, that i put in his football sock...he had to go up the hospital for concussion!..lol. Stabs, your a little older than me.. :whistle: ...but we had a purple chopper when we was kids...never had any brake at all though...so when we wanted to brake we used to just scuff our feet along the ground and it would pull the front off our trainers!...i miss all that.. the kids over here are spoilt rotten..if you ask me they need a bloody good hiding to make them pull there socks up...last night, i caught the wifes boy throwing stones at the chickens...100 press ups, and 300 star jumps later, and he wasnt such a wise arse...i told him, "If you where my boy, you wouldnt be able to sit down for a week!"...he woke up stiff as a board this morning, and blamed ME!...so just for being mouthy, hes know running around the block twice!...the youth of today eh!?... :realmad: :11: Kye..

Guest Leveller Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 The kids of today have it far too easy I tell you. If I had the internet in my teenage years my palms would have more hair on than " cousin It " ( another target reference ). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
