Who remembers the “GOOD OLD DAYS”?

[PhilF]

yup, were about 13, made a bomb out of weed killer and sugar, I think. Blew a very large hole in a public place and ran home and hid in the top of a cupbaord for hours.
Burnt down an entire wood near a building estate - they were gonna build on it anyway.

pretended to part exchanged mates Dad's car for a test drive in a Corvette Stingray, they sussed us and phoned his Dad, we were not supposed to drive the Jaguar at 17!!!!

Playing cards in bikes wheels, go carts with no brakes, BSA Bantams over the fields.

No mobile phones, less Tele, no Super mario crap, more freedom, less traffic

On our last day of school, a few of us lifted our history master's Austin 7 onto four upturned dustbins and left it there. I've no idea how he got it down.

A fish to be used for Disection from the Biology lab was filled with polystyrene and attached to a brick and chucked intot the school swimming pool - it appeared to be swiming just under the surface.

A friend poured a trail of red Powder paint from the Art Block from one end of school to the other the night before Open Day. A bright spark decided to remove it using "water" - you can imagine the mess - I think we invented Red Tarmac !!

Clipping cigarette cards with pegs to bike so that it sounded like a motor bike? Staying out all day and getting a clip round the ear? Rock fights (who in their right mind throws rocks at friends?). Building damms, falling in the burn (river or stream). Running everywhere.

“GOOD OLD DAYS”?

Remember your school dentist who had yet to discover anaesthesia.
Simple diseases that could kill or cripple young and old alike.
Real poverty and lack of equal opportunity for all.
Sorry but it was not better.

A joke.
Train full of people in a foreign land.
Q.How can everyone identify the Englishperson.
A.He/she is the only one sitting with his/her back to the engine cos he always feels more comfortable to remember where he has been rather than to see where he is going./forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

A game of marbles......rubbing Dock leaves on your knees after a nettle sting....'Flying saucers' from the sweet shop.....making 'bogies' out of old prams and bits of wood.....conkers......Japs and Commandos, and playing 'postmans knock' at birthday parties.

How easy we forget eh?

one of my most memorable momonts was when a mate and I were playing in a disused building when I put my foot through a floor board (Northern Ireland Remember) When I retreived my foot I looked in the hole and found Two pistols and a bag of amo etc. Being the good citizen we were, we headed straight for the Police stn. and handed in our find (WE were 11 years old). Total panic the revolvers were loaded with the safety off. the bag contained about two pounds of home made explosives with detonators etc entact. Dad was not a happy chappie.
Other times we found dead people, guns and bombs we even got chased by baddies with guns when we foiled an assisination attempt.
The best of all is we are still here alive and kicking. Thankfully my kids live in a slightly more stable country, pity about the rest of the world.

Fertiliser on grass outside an important building in Cardiff, spelling a rude word I can't post here. Climbed onto the roof of City Hall there too one night, unfortunately the police were passing! /forums/images/icons/frown.gif Also put a gallon of detergent and the blue tracking dye (they use to measure rivers flow into sea and photograph from air) into the fountain outside. Only needs a little to track a river, we used that amount to colour the fountain. Quite impressive blue foam bath the next day!!!

Oh and once put a whole pack of laxatives in to the hot water cauldron thing in the 6th form common room that was used for making coffee.

I could go on and on, I really must have been a horror when younger!

Just remembered something I didn't want too. Massive water fight in halls.....old victorrian hotel just off Clapham Common south side. Great for parties as huge ballroom with glitter ball and wonderful garden. (As an aside, could see fires of Railton Road burning during Brixton riots from bedroom window)

Buckets of water being thrown down stairs and things. everyone very wet. I lived on top floor in single rooms. Got rather involved in water fight, then three people barricaded themselves in a top floor room!. Went up in attic and was jumping up and down on beam over their room.

Warden (Reader on my course) stuck his head above opening to attic, but I didn't recognise him at first. He asked what the hell I was doing? Water everywhere. Responded that I'd heard running water and was checking water pipes. He asked what the hell people jumping up and down on rafters did to help check water pipes. errrrrr!? Told to go to my room and not be seen again! ever! Everyone else had done a runner.

Problem, locked out of rooom, as I'd already taken most clothes off as was a bit wet, and left key in trousers. So went down to security desk at front, and asked for master key. Warden turned up at that point and went ballistic!.

Emergency hall meeting few days later.. I cowered at back. No good! I was pointed out as only culprit caught, and thousands of pounds of damage done, as ceiling on second floor had come down from buckets of water being chucked down stairs. Erck! No wonder I'd blanked that one out! /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif
