Silly things you did when young!!!!

[the squiggle]

Thinking back on another thread of bouncing off the bonnet of a car made a few other youthful incidents come to mind

Lke.........

In Primary 5, David Casey and myself would hold head-butting endurance tests. The target was a the emergency exit door of our classroom which wire reinforced. We would take it in turns to head butt the door until we could no longer compete due to fainting, bruising or rupture. I won this contest when i stuck my head right through the reinforced window. I think Yosser Hughes was the inspiration behind this event

Or.....

After watching Miami Vice i proceeded to chop up some chalk powder and fold it into little paper slips. This was disrtibuted to a few close friends and was then snorted round the back of the Wet Area. I think this was about Primary 4 and i suffered nose bleeds for an extraordinary amount of time

Amazing the power of TV on a young developing mind

Neil from the Young Ones was my role model in life for a very long time..............DOH

Ah the good ol days,

Stuck my finger in a plug and switched it on (bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz)

Hung my brother out a 2nd floor window

[st3ph3n]

A fine role model Grant. I can see why you drive what you drive now.

Most of my childhood, and indeed late teens have involved falling off bikes.

Notable accidents when I was old enough to really know better include hitting a tree so hard the frame of the bike bent and doing a stoppie that resulted in a broken elbow a week before going to Florida for 3 weeks.

But the king of them all involved a summers day so hot the tarmac on my mates driveway was just about melting. It was the late 80s and I was wearing fine 1980s summer clobber - short shorts and a t-shirt. After getting speed up at my house I travelled the 100 or so yards down to his at full pelt on my BMX. I can't remember how the last part of the stunt was supposed to go but when I hit his driveway I realised I was going WAY to fast. Bailed, landed on the tarmac, Slid about 30 feet, most of which on my skin. Crammed into his garage door leaving a dent that was there 10 years later.

I think it took about 3 days before the tarmac finally washed off.

Blow up the -dundee fc manager (grodon wallace) with an airbomb rocket !!!

lay an airbomb rocket on its side on the deck in a wee lanny type thing, lit it, it then took of down the lane hit the man and blow up, loads of smoke and stuff, when it cleared there was a crowd round someone lying on the deck so i tailed it of in to distance, ended up getting chased fae the rozzers and cought, then they told me wot i had done but i was a minor so i got away with it !

so G.W sorry.

Ps, it was moment of madness im not like that.

i remember when i was young i had a few friends round from Uni after an afternoon at the polo club. we got really carried away and one thing lead to another and before we knew what was happening we had ended up drinking a whole bottle of wine between the 12 of us !!!

it was a scream

[jcscoob]

Well i remember one night after wine wine club a few others and i, well we got on a wait for it .... a bus, and the three of us, we shared a cigarette it was mad.

I once stuff bog roll into a smartie tube and guess what happened next..................................................i lit it then took a big draw and nearly cough my guts up.

I once took the light bulb out and stuck my finger in the terminal and switched it on(bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz)Still got the marc on my finger to prove it.

Things you do when you're young eh.

[G.T.]

thats quality peter pmsl

probably one of the most daft things i done was a kid was light a fire under the bridge next to my parents house and throw a few aerosols on the fire what an explosion was quality all the neighbours were out , got my butt well and truely booted.

being a retained firefighter now i dont condone any mischief with fire or aerosols at all

[fai17]

Kids and the wonders of fire don't mix.

I once found a old shirt lit the thing then didn't know what to do with so i threw onto the bushes then the whole area went on fire but i never got caught.

Sorry

[martyn_slorach]

when i was young me and my mates shared a 40cc honda step thru with pedals, after watching Street hawk on telly we got 2 heavy duty cardboard tubes from pallet wrap or something, we blocked one end off each one and tied them to the basket on the front of the bike. inserted into these were 2 lit screaming rockets which made very effective heat seaking missiles when fired as the bike putted along at 10 mph flat out.

unfortunately we had to dump the bike and run when the cops appeared as it was just too slow to make a decent getaway !

Old man clapped my lug and the next time that copper saw me out he KICKED MY Ass so HARD several times and banged me roon the heed.

ah motocrossers didnt you just love noising up the fuzz on them, many a good time giving them the slip. worst of it all was that they always ended up at your door sooner or later . i always pleaded ignorance though

[oobster]

I have very little recollection of this myself, but I am assured that when i was about 6 i decided it would be a good idea to put the water-wings onto my ankles and jump into the local swimming baths.

A good job my father was there, as this resulted in me being vertical in the deep-end, with only my feet above the water. My auld man grabbed me by the feet and pulled me right out the water, just in time as i was about to pass out.

Also, when "moon-boots" were in fashion i decided to go for a run on my bike up to where they were flattening the local coal bing. My nice new moon-boots got filthy, so i jumped off the bike & spied a big puddle to wash them in. Unfortunately it was full of coal slurry and i was up to my armpits in it before a bloke with a landrover appeared and managed to pull me out. Very scarey. That slurry pit still keeps hold of those moon boots to this day.

[wilky]

Took a sawn off airgun to school and kneecapped the local rival gang leader. Funnily enough I got expelled.

[Gumball]

you menace you

[colinj]

Hmmmmm

Chopped my mates finger off playing with the electric garage door!

Me & 2 other mates used to run about at night with perm markers changing car registration plates

First thing that springs to mind, Im sure theres plenty more........

[SEEVERS]

Think i was about 8 when me and a mate still in the playground after

the bell decided we would attempt to jump from the school grounds which

was the high point,over the metal railings into the nursery grounds below(about a 12ft drop)

We are both arguing over who will do it first when hero mode switches on inside my head,off

i go at full pelt and launch myself from the school,right over the fence and into the nursery(yes i

made it)then thud no knees bent on landing as my whole body doubles over and i knee myself

in the mouth causing me to bite down hard and take about 1 sq inch out of my tongue.....

Cue my mate Adam off running to my Grandfathers house,who turns up in his Morris Ital(velour int.)

to transport me to the hospital to receive my 4 stitches.....and be reminded by the doc and my

Grandfather what a danger i am to myself.

TIT.

I remember trying to see what colour petrol was in my dad's bike...with a match, no eyebrows for months....didn't even see the colour it was..lol

Still havn't grown up wasn't too long ago that i put my hand onto the tarmac at 140mph although i did have a glove on, or overtook cars which were in the fast lane at over 150.

One of the reasons i shouldn't put my bike back on the road..

Not proud of it though.
