Ah yeah can't beat the aul camping!! When I was about 13 me and my mates used to tell our parents we're goin campin, but as soon as the folks were asleep we'd get our bikes and cycle for miles and get up to all sorts of mischief. Twas great fun!!

The only time I got caught was when some girls joined us on our adventures. :rolleyes: feckin typical

Bunkin' off school... I hated the place. I used to go to the Museum, National Art Gallery and Natural History Museum... I finally got caught when the class went on a field trip to the gallery... got into a bit of trouble!! I was 'not asked' to re-enroll in the school after the inter!!! (Junior Cert now, I believe)>

Mrs. MacGyver

Heading down to the railway bridge (swimming hole- very dangerous!!) and smoking down the back of the old box factory with my cousins in St Colmans park ah the summer of 1992 (the one before i started secondary) I wasn't always this innocent!

I skipped a class in secondary school once and I felt terrible about it because I loved school. Thats all I can think of right now. Hopefully my headmaster isn't looking or else I might be brought back for detention.

Dirk Gently

bunking off certain classes in secondary school (accountancy mostly)

having people over every time I had a free house. (bulmers fest)

going up to Armagh to see a girlie I met at a gig when I told my parents I was sleeping in my mates house down the road. (all I got was a few kisses and a night alone on the sofa for my travels )

I'm going back years now I was only about 6 or 7 but my mother hated chewing gum and would kill us if she caught us with it. One night my sister's friend (older than me) gave me some chewing gum but I swallowed it, shock horror. She told me it would get stuck in my insides and I would die if I didn't go to hospital so I cried and ran home and had to confess to my Mother that I had eaten chewing gum, she didn't seem pleased but I'm sure she was holding back the laughter while I was bawling. Also myself and my Sister obviously weren't allowed to curse, so what we did was I would say sh... and she would say ....it so together we had cursed, we thought it was the best thing ever, fu... ...ck etc tee hee!!

Me, I remember me my mate and cousin would sneak off to the "O`Neills" (no real names obviously) who lived on the estate about a mile from us, when we were 6 or 7. My mam didnt like them because the family were bad news, however we had a respect for them in the same way Fr Dougal held Fr Damo in awe for his mad bastardism.

One of the O`Neills is currently on the run after skipping bail on a robbery charge, the other we regularly bump into is a coked up alco local version of Franco Begbie from Trainspotting.

Mother was right

Lust4Life

Dodging class to go shoot pool at the pub...
Sneaking off school property to sneak a smoke (or something better!)
Seeing my brother's friend whom I was forbidden to date.
Never being where I told the folks I was going to be!

I was a naughty teen!

Of all the places they could go on a field trip, haha. Reminds me of when we were doing our Leaving Cert mocks. When we didn't have an exam, we were expected to go to normal classes which we all thought was a bit harsh. So myself and two of the lads decided to head to the pub only to bump into my French teacher in there. Luckily enough she was bonking off class to correct exams so we had a little "I won't tell if you don't" agreememtn. Fair play to her

the Shades

Scaling down cliffs...

Not a whole lot else I guess... maybe you could include hill climbing to watch the sunrise in mid-summer but it wasn't a regular thing.

Alter-Ego

Skipping classes in school and sneaking into an empty music room to jam, man we was so hardcore!!

Also getting very drunk at non-alco discos.

Thats maybe how I ended up studying archaeology...

My mother thought that I had a hearing problem and when she would bring me to the doc I use to say that I couldn't hear the beep when it would be practically making me deaf. Don't know why I done it. Told my mother about it recently, she went beserk! Thought she would see the funny side.

Caught my brother smoking when I was about 11 and he made me smoke so I couldn't tell. Then made me buy a packet of Polos and wash my hands in the Liffey so my mother couldn't smell it from us. Of course I continued to smoke after that and got caught on numerous occasions.

At school me and my friend use to throw all my classmates school bags out the window onto the road below. They never suspected it was us because we were girls - they always blamed it on the boys!

Thats just the tip of the iceberg, if I told you anymore you would think I had seriously problems. I think I had an attention problem!

At school a few of us decided that it was too cold outside so we decide to play football inside. Well this was an old prefab with glass just about everywhere so of course we knock a window out.
Then I got smart I decided to pull the curtain over (remember the black curtains for when you had to use the projector), now it was the midde of the winter so it took the teacher about an hour to find the window

Won't even begin to list the stuff I did as a teenager as I'd be here all day! One example would be thumbing to Tramore which I'm horrified at now.


When I was a child I was forever geting out the bathroom window and onto the kitchen roof. My Nanny used to kill us but any chance I got myself and my cousin used to love being on the roof! We also used to climb over my cousin's back wall and go into Walsh Park for a picnic.

My list of transgressions is so long it would take another 27 years just to tell you all.

But one of my favorites was when i was in london at my aunts house (georgian townhouse) i was grounded for something and had to stay inside (i was 10 or so at the time) my mother and aunt were sitting in the sun on the steps out front. so i went to the little concrete cubicle that was a back garden. scaled the wall (12 feet) and proceeded to walk the length of the wall to the end of the row of houses (bout 15 houses). at any stage falling would mean broken bones a plenty. but i made it down to the end and dissappeared for the rest of the day.

I was a bit forgetful and several hours later i sauntered back through the front door where my mom and aunt had been sitting the whole day.... needless to say they were inquisitive about how i got out.

shinners007

i was a bit of a rebel!!!

getting caught forging me mams writing in a note i wrote for mitching a few days off school, got called into the office when asked who wrote it i said my mam couldnt find her glassess, principal said he didint believe me i said " ring my mam so?" he said he would asked me for the number and i said " ah we dont have a phone!!!! he said out a letter that my sis collected in the post office!!! eventually had to tell my mam the principal wanted to see her and she lied for me!!! sound mother that she is... then again i just think she covered up for me as i probably would have been suspened ah the shame of it!!!!

sneaking out to a disco through the window and not being able to get back in!!! my got up the following morning me asleep in the car dressed up to the gills!! early walk excuse didint work obviously so got grounded for two weeks!!!

it was worth it tho;)

Haha reminds me of our graduation mass night. After our final LC exam there was a farewell mass kind of thing, and we warned not to be all heading to the same pub (or any pub) and making trouble.


Sure the dep principal was a wanker, so we were like fcuk him, i swear even non drinkers probably went to spite the miserable old kunt Anyway a few of the sounder teachers turned up to get pissed with us and agree with the consesnsus that while the principal was bang on, the deputy was a power mad piece of sh1t. Good times

She couldnt find it for a week and then offered £1 for anyone that found it. Sure of course i legged down to dig it up, went to collect my reward only to get flaked with it accross the ass.

That Taught me good.

Oh good grief! The nightmare for any child.

I remember myself and my neighbour were watching Mc Gyver one night and in this particular episode he used this bit of thread or string that he had dipped in petrol to set fire to a fuel tank while he was like 50 yards away hidden in an aoircraft hanger or somewhere like that! Myself and my friend thought this was amazing and next day found an old roll of carpet in the shed outside, we started pulling on a thread of fabric at the edge of the carpet and before long we had our 50 yards of fuse! It didn't take us half as long to find the plastic canister for storing the petrol in the shed me Dad used for the petrol lawn mower, so we opened it up and stuck in our 50 yard long carpet thread, we had the matches from the range in the kitchen on stand by, so after running the length of the garden with the "fuse", we left one end sitting in the petrol can for maximum effect, we took one look at each other and struck the match and fu*ked it on the ground with a dazed and amazed Fr. Dougal look in both our eyes, hymming the Mc Gyver soundtrack to each other!!!

Well, the fuse went up, the clothes line went up, all the clothes on the clothes line went up, the dogs kennel caught fire and the poor terrified dog was huddling under a bush at the back of the garden, the petrol can melted in pis*ing time and petrol started pouring out of the bottom of it, causing a pond of flames to develop in the garden, the house filled up with black smoke, my Mother and her neighbour came running into the garden screaming like Mad women, well if the sh*t didn't hit the fan that day it was all equal!!!

deedee lepoopoo

It was a party piece for me to throw my cat in the air and make her do somersalts...... not nice.

Used play James Bond and the mission was to nick the next door neighbours underpants off the line. We were on roofs, oil tanks, trees & sheds. Little ruffains.

I remember I broke a neightbours wall that was setting, after a builder was working on it for 2 days. It was my climbing wall afterall - how else did we get up to the tree?

NoDayBut2Day

I remember picking the neighbors' flowers, making bouquets, and then selling them to the other neighbors for like a dollar or something. We were kids so they totally went along with it... except for the ones we took the flowers from! :rolleyes:
