    Playing soccer in the street with a plastic ball we bought ourselves. If you paid 3d (or whatever) as your contribution to buying the ball you could play. When it got punctured "repairing" it by heating a knife on a ring of the cooker and melting the plastic to seal the hole.
    Endless games of "3 and in" or five a side.

    -Heads and Volleys
    -Tip the Can (which for some reason we called Mob :S)
    -Exploring
    -Penny sweets
    -Megadrive and SNES
    -Trying to make things (favourite of ours was melting lead and pouring it into holes drilled in wood blocks then paring them with a pencil parer - ye know the double ones with the big parer - into bullets!)
    -Horsing the dinner down then going out to play again
    -Ringing peoples doorbells and running away (was that called nick-nacks??)
    -Hurling down the field or on the road
    -Kerbs (double points if you catch the ball clean)
    -Spin the bottle
    -A pound of wine gums and a bottle of coke (not getting diabetes YUSS!!!)
    -Summer holidays (3 weeks in a different holiday home each year on the West coast)

    Ah memories.

    I used to make things out of loads of paper and cello tape. Spent hours making houses and all. Some even had garages and telegraph poles with lines outside it!

    Looking back now, I can't comprehend how the hell I managed to make those :confused:

    Good times.

    When one of your parents would give you a cardboard box and you'd make a house/spaceship out of it. Also, bubble wrap.

    I just loved the innocence of being a child. For some reason travelling at night always stuck with me!

    Absolutely no idea. If you start a thread about bad childhoods, I'll give you an essay though.
