    Back when I was a kid, my dad worked as a farm manager. One day my mum went to visit him at work. Me being bored, I wandered over to the massive tank where all the slurry from the slatted shed was stored and decided to test just how solid the crust on the top of the tank was when a person chucked rocks on it. It turned out that slurry crust and rocks did not interact well. Next time the pump at the bottom of the tank was turned on, the rocks fcked up the machinery big time and caused major damage. I never got around to owning up to being the cause of it all :o

    Back in 3rd year we were packing up after a maths class; one of the lads was jibeing at me from the row behind so I decided to let him have it with the book that was in my hand. Missed his head by about a foot and absolutely wasted the classroom window (surprising how expensive a pane of fúcking glass can be) :P

    The same day a 5th Year put his head through an identical window. Weird.

    Bogger? What the FK is bogger?

    What part of slurry tank don't you understand? Have you never heard of "rocks" or "crust"?

    Maybe he should have written "bk wen i wuz a kid my dad workd s farm managr 1 day my mum wen 2 visit hm @ wrk."

    You might understand it then............

    Okay, I'll do this slowly.....

    FK......short edited version of the four letter word that begins with F, ends with K and has a UC in the middle.

    SLURRY......AKA Bullsh1t.

    HANG SANGWICH.....would that be a lunchtime snack for illiterates?

    Once we tore up a load of old newspapers that were in my grannies attic. We were young, and didn't think anything of it.

    Next thing all we hear is my dad and my gran saying "Oh no!" My gran said "Oh no, I think mice must have eaten these papers" And my dad saying "No, those are to neat a tear for a mouse to be eating them"..... we said nothing though...

    I see what you did there, well played Seany.


    I managed to lose the Barrel of a gun before that belongs to the state, It was found but it's too rusty to use, not sure of the price.

    Burned out a few cars before I stopped being a Scumbag at 12.

    I know someone that cost a certain american company I think it was a few million, they weren't too pleased. The batch of stuff that was being made didn't finish properly and it ended up in a lump in the machine, production for a day or two had to be stopped until the machine was cleaned and fixed. There was an investigation but they never found out who's fault it was.

    But as for me I don't think I ever caused that much damage.

    Thought it would be funny to hide a kid's bag in school over in the states. The two rooms were interjoined with a common closet and I hid it behind the door in there.

    An hour later the kid makes a big fuss, the two teachers stop Everyone to look for this fcuking bag. Of course I don't own up to it. 5-10 minutes later its found behind the door by a third kid - the stupid teacher had the gall not to just leave it there, she accused the third kid of hiding the bag (the nerve!) and he was sent down to the principles office. Got suspended for a week. Stupidly run schools.

    When I was 12 me and some chums stumbled accross an old van on some wasteground,everyday we walked by it and never seemed to be used or owned,we figured it was abandoned,one of us had the bright idea(not me!),and us being kids,the best course of action was to smash it up,so we proceeded to throw old cans of paint all over it,smash the windscreen and the side windows,the sideview mirrors etc,went on for afew days,till there was nothing left,so we decided to flip it,which we did,turns out the van was owned by some bloke from the country,and inside the van was few thousand pounds worth of building equipment,oppps!

    My ould fella owns a digger. When I was kid I was obsessed with it and used to spend the day with him working. One day he let me operate it for half an hour one day leveling some ground. There was a large dry stone wall maybe 8 foot high and 200 feet long beside where I was working and I glanced the bucket of the digger off the wall. Naturally it knocked that section of the wall as there was no cement but also for some reason it set off a domino effect and about 40 more feet of wall also crumbled. Cost IR£2000 to have the wall rebuilt which back in the late 80's was a colossal amount of money. Ended my digger operating career to.

    How the hell did they not know it was you that set fire to their couch? Did you break into their house at night and do it while they were asleep or something?

    It was in their conservatory, so they were probably in the front of the house/upstairs.

    I panicked at first and extinguished the fire (lots of smoke etc.)

    I was quietly watching tv when my friend started banging on my front window saying his house was on fire. The couch had reignited or was smouldering when i left it.

    Never played with fire again after that.

    My mam and dad were doing up the bathroom at home years ago. I was only about 5 or 6. I took the key from inside the door and locked it from the outside. Then I hid they key. Me mam and dad were not impressed and trying to coax me to open the door. I told them I didnt have the key. This went on for about and hour. Eventually they ended up having to break the window to get out. We only had one of them windows that opend up about 5 inches out the way.

    They ended up having to get the whole thing replaced. Sure they were getting the bathroom done up anyway.

    They never leave it go though.

    On my second year school trip to Connemara around May… myself and a few of the tards that thought they were cool smoking went from a stroll out of sight of the teachers and guides for a smoke behind a shed.

    Pretending we weren’t about to collapse due to head rushes, we puffed away saying “this is the life”. The weather was beautiful, not a cloud in sight.

    We decided we’d better go back to the house so I flicked my smoke and walked off.

    One of the guys looked back to see a bush on fire! Out of panic I told the lads to leave it and keep going. 10 seconds later, a tree is going up and two minutes later, there was the beginnings of a forest fire!

    Like a scene from the a dwarf remake of braveheart there are about 90 other kids running down screaming with the teachers and guides following close behind.

    We were beside a stream so people were arriving with buckets, pans, even fooking bins! Kids were getting stuck in trying to put out the blaze. At this stage it’s looking like half of Connemara is gonna go up. Our efforts were in vain. All I could see is miles of forest and the flames rising.

    Kids were coming out coughing and spluttering diving down for water from the blaze, one lads jacket went on fire as he ran back from the blaze and straight into the little river he went.

    At this stage I’m flinging water (pathetically) through tear-filled eyes thinking someone is going to die :confused:

    Fire Brigade came and it took 2 hours to put it out as we looked from the house nursing our burns. One kid had to go in an Ambulance due to smoke inhalation.

    Once It was over, “Robocop” our spawn of satan teacher brought me out to look at the mess I had made. Over £50k of damage he said. I have never been called a little c*nt, little sh*t etc so many times.

    The trip continued regardless and obviously I was barred from any of the activities. As we drove around in coaches the radio would blare. Of course – The Prodigy’s – “Fire Starter” song was flavour of the month. You can imagine how the kids in the coach reacted… It seemed to be played every 5 minutes – I was in hell.

    Anywhooo… got home – had to write letters to the school and Galway tourist board (for legal reasons).

    Monday morning – Expelled :mad:

    The story about the van reminded me of what happened a friend of mine. We came across an old car down a side street, which by all appearances was abandoned. So my friend decides to start throwing stuff at it, breaking parts like the mirrors off, generally just wrecking it; his foot was through the, and stuck in, the side passenger window when two guys burst out of a nearby caravan, dirty wife beaters barely covering their beer bellies, carrying baseball balls, shouting something about "What the ****....my car..etc". So after some frantic effort he freed his leg, we legged it, and ended up facing a wall that seemed about 10ft high, at this stage we were nearly crying at the thought of being left behind and beaten senseless as we desperately tried to pull ourselves over the wall, bleeding and hysterical. We barely made it over in time.

    Headbutted through a window in school. We were taking turns headbutting it and my head went through.
    Also smashed my kitchen window with a sliotar.
    Also destroyed another classes minicompany prject the day before it had to be in. I turned there compnay into a gay club.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 458 ✭✭grundie


    I almost destroyed a branch of Littlewoods.

    It was 1983 and I would have been about 7 years old.

    My mother was browsing and I was just hanging around near her. I decided to rush through the clothes racks, I think I might have thought it was an anorak jungle or something like that.

    In doing this I managed to knock one rack over, and this being in the days before open plan stores and the like, each carefully regimented clothing rack in the row also falls over - just like dominoes.

    7 racks and 3 pensioners went down.

    Amid all the confusion I went and stood by my mother looking all sweet and innocent, it worked, no one suspected me.

    I didn't tell my mother I was responsible until two years ago.

    1999, I worked for a courier company based in waterford for the summer holidays. It was a monday morning and having been out on the piss the night before (prob still over the limit, I know). I had to go to our local ted castles to fill up on fuel. As you do, i put the guzzle of the petrol pump into the van, but nothing happened. As i had a late start, I rushed into the shop to find out if there was a problem and the guy behind the counter told me that the pump i was using was a bit tempremental.

    As I was talking to the guy, my phone rang and it was my boss saying that I had priority freight on the van and that it needed to be in a ceratin place ASAP. I knew i had enough fuel to get me to where I needed to be and rushed back to the van. Started the engine and began to pull away when a guy came running out, obviously shouting but I couldn't understand what he was saying. Foot went on to the acclerator and all of a sudden i heard this almighty crash. By the time i reacted I had not only pulled the petrol pump up out of the ground, but the pipes underneath the pump as well and a pillar holding up the canopy, causing diesel to spray every where. shut down the petrol station for 3 days...(causing I think £18000 worth of damage (not including lost business)according to the insurance claim.

    At the time, I was terrified because I didn't know how my boss would react ut when i arrived back at the depot later that day, I had a standing ovation from all the drivers and staff in the depot. Still have the piss taken out of me to this day

    When I was younger I took my neighbours little girl, who was about 15mths old, out for a walk in her buggy. I would push the buggy and let go then push it again and let it go, she was laughing her head off...well until I accidently pushed her into a wall and she broke her leg :(

    Pulled out too far at a T-junction and was hit by a car.
    I was driving my friend's van.
    €2,000 damage to the van and €300 to the car (although the car owner tried to get me to cough up €2,000 and said he would drop the charges if I did. I told him to suck my balls).

    How much was a bale of hay in the late 80's/early 90's?
    Incinerated quite a few of them over the years.

    Accidently burnt down a barn about 20 years ago.
    It was at the back of what is now a hotel, but was only a shell of a burnt out house at the time.

    Pushed a car over a 100 foot cliff.

    Broke countless windows both accidently and on purpose.

    Did some other things that I will never put in print.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 723 ✭✭✭destroyer


    Filled up a hired boat with the wrong fuel a couple of years ago, (petrol instead of diesel), simple mistake, ended up costing about 400 million though.....
