    Oh, you reminded me.

    I wonder if it's the same one I rang, your most likely too young though.

    Back around '86 the Sunday World had a front page headline about Irish people ringing sex chat lines in Miami. They even printed the number :eek:

    Maybe someone can check this out?

    Anyway, everyone went to Mass and I phoned it and talked to this American chick, told her I was 18 but she said: "You sound like a young kid.." :D

    I just kept talking about boobs to her and she laughed and chated and a half hour later we parted ways. I remember listening to Chris De Burgh's The Lady In Red and thinking about her .. :cool:

    I got mine off the Sunday World as well, at the back on almost every page of the sports section. I always remember the waiting, so much waiting.

    I once mitched from school. What I'd do was hide in the wardrobe and wait until everyone went out of the house. As they would not see me in bed they assumed I went to school. Did this about 30 times a year as I hated school.

    One day, my mother forgot to leave me lunch money. She got a break from work and dropped me a brilliant and awesome lunch, loads of sambos and chocolate she got in work. Only problem was I did my Houdini act and was not in school. Cue my ma coming home from work early to give out shit to me and tell me how ashamed she was of me.

    I was in big trouble in school the next day. But I was not too miffed. I continued to do the same trick right up until 6th year.

    one time i got hammered on vodka (bout 15 or 16)

    my ma came to collect me from my friends, seen me stagger across the green to the car.

    my ar$e wasn't on the seat and she was wearin into me "fcukin smell, can't walk, disgraceful.." etc.
    so, she got me home, into the kitchen, force fed me a chicken sandwich and doused me in "lou lou" perfume, so my da wouldn't find out.

    she told me to get the fcuk up to bed, so off i went, but oh sh!t, dad was halfway up the stairs and the puke was startin to rise. had to bowl pass him on the stairs with a muffled "nigh' da", and made it to the bedroom and spewed allover the floor.

    my ma didn't talk to me for a week, but i was still my daddys' pet :) i told my dad the white (chickeny) stain on the carpet was moisturiser! :D

    I remember when I was 7 or 8 being on holidays and me and some girl I made friends with went to a pub and started playing with the slot machines and we won quite a bit of money. My Mam went mental when she found out. I guess she didn't like me gambling.

    I caused a biker to crash when I ran across the road. I felt really bad about it though and still cringe when I think about it.

    When i was 15 just after the junior cert i stole the keys to a house my parents owned which was vacant at the time but was normally rented out. Got a few friends together with booze we had stolen from our parents drink cabinets and got pretty hammered.

    At around 3am a few of us were bored so we decided to go for a walk up town, it was saturday so plenty of drunk people around to keep us entertained. Anyway at around 5am it was a ghost town and we stumbled accross some road works, one thing led to another and we ended up using all the road works signs and traffic cones we could find to block off the main road, a dual carriageway, in the town and laughed our asses off as a couple of cars and trucks had to do a u-turn thinking the road was closed.

    Next thing we knew we were running for our lives from the guards who appeared out of nowhere, but to no avail we were all caught and first they made us put all the signs and cones back where we found them and then brought us to the garda station and eventually marched home where i was 'greeted' at the door by my still half asleep father, me standing there still half pissed with a big thick culchie guard explaining what id done. Ouch, still cringe thinking about it.

    when i was a kid i was obsessed with spinning/twirling things. i would get my moms tea towels and spin them around like a propeller.one day i thought it would be great fun to spin my brothers new watch he got for his communion. needless to say it wasnt cheap. and of course after a few minutes it flew out of my hand and smashed against the wall and would not work. my dad clattered the arse off me

    I was pretty tame compared to some of this stuff 0/
    Age 12, taking a train to Wexford with some mates. Getting drunk, sleeping outdoors for 2 days and then ..

    But running away for a few days at a time and going on benders was my thing, my parents didn't know what to do with me. I thought it was pretty fucking funny actually. I can kind of see their point now though.



    Not!

    When I was 11, me and two friends wrecked three old cars that were in a shed across the road.. They were actually on the antique side of things. Really stupid thing to do but we thought they were just old and crap.. Parents found out a year later when I had a fight with a neighbour and they put a note through the letterbox telling my mum.

    When I was 15, took dad's car out for a few spins.. Pulling up to a T junction with one of the lads. His mum happens to be out for a walk just at the junction so we have to stop and she sees us. She tells my mum and I get the longest grounding of my life.. 9 months. It happened in March, she grounds me till Christmas and is still so mad that she still doesn't let me out till January.

    Put a program on the school server when I was 16.. One of those ones you click and then cant get rid off. It doesn't really catch on in my class but in the one afterwards, "SMALL PENIS ALERT" is written in massive writing on every screen in the room and it can't be got rid off.. I get caught by the internet records showing me visiting the site for the program. Of course it had to a female teacher in that class so the principle took in the whole sexist thing and I get a stinker of a letter home.. Made it sound like I "hacked the mainframe" and uploaded pron everywhere. Mam was pissed.

    When I was 3 or 4 I was down on my granny's farm in Wicklow. I was out in the yard playing with the kittens. I thought it would be a good idea to put them in a barrel and drop a big rock on them. :o
    One poor little kitty didn't make it. I can remember pegging it halfway across the farm with my mammy chasing after me. She caught me eventually and I got a, well deserved, smack on the behind. :(

    This happened to my friend. We were at an all ages gig on Sunday afternoon. He managed to get his hands on load of vodka and continued to drink it all, He went missing about an hour later and We went looking for him.

    Couldn't find him any where so just presumed he went home, so on the way home i see some one lying face down in the middle of town. Low and behold its my mate and just as I get to him his parents who were out for a lovely Sunday walk stumble upon him!

    It did not end well........

    I was predominantly a good kid, I was never the "throw a paper ball" or "won't do my homework" type, but I had a wild streak which my parents have only started relating to me recentely, as I was so young I can't remember half the stuff I did.

    A girl (a rather plump one) in 2nd class was going on and on about how she was going to a christening and all the amazing stuff she'd be doing there. So on the back of my copy I drew her eating a baby- with the baby saying "F**k off!" to boot. That was my first experience of the principles office, aged 8.

    Then there was the time I deliberately flunked a school test at 10: for the first 20 questions, I gave proper answers, just to make the next 20 the most ridiculous answers I could think of, such as "What is the longest river in Africa?" - "Dullypond" - Principles office

    In 5th class I called the class-room assistant an S&M girl when she was eating M&Ms. (I had just learned what it meant from the Metallica album of the same name.) She never said anything about it though, so I didn't go to the office that time- I met her about a year ago and she said that I made her laugh. She was also there when our knitting lessons were interrupted when I took to shouting random numbers out loud with every stitch.

    We had a school choir that had just released a new CD called Open Windows, and posters were up all over the school. I managed to change 6 of them to Broken Windows before getting caught. Then there were the forgery, 'Japanese Lesbians Forever' and "F**K!!" incidents to round off my trips to the principle for 6th class.

    You get the picture!

    Drank a half bottle of whiskey at lunch, went back to school hammered. Needless to say I was expelled. Good times.

    One of my friends in Primary school came in with a can of Farting Gas.

    I sprayed it all down the main corridoor and into classrooms before school started.

    Little did I know the principal had chronic asthma. She took a massive asthma attack and was brought to hospital.

    Suspension and banned from the schools sports thingy in Belfield.

    I got grounded for two weeks for stealing my dog and running away from home with my friend (we were 8)...

    My parents found us a few hours later, swimming in a sewage filled lake ...:o

    We wanted freedom. We just ended up covered in ****e!

    I called the Drifter man hotline thing when I was 8. I went through the top 50 chart music at the time. I tried to hang up but it kept going, I unplugged the phone for a while. Damn you premium rate phone numbers! :(

    Stole a balloon from a shop when I went in to collect my weekly subscription of the Beano with my Mum, Anyway later on she found out and made me go back to the shop and hand in the balloon!!

    You know when parents say "I'm not angry, I'm dissapointed" That is the worst thing for a kid to hear.

    Have never stole another thing in my life.

    Whan I was about 16, me and my friends were drinking late into the night, at about 5AM as the sun was coming up, a few of us were going back to my place (can only imagine my parents were away)

    One drunk friend decided to walk along the roofs (rooves?) of the cars parked in a line on my street.

    The cops showed up and we hid in my back garden.

    Next day, get a knock on the door, blinding hangover, 2 neighbours complaining about their cars.

    I think 8 cars had dented roofs, I got a bollocking from parents, and dirty looks from the neighbours for many years after that.

    I told then I was very sorry it happened, but I couldn't be responsible for someone else's actions. I said he was a friend of a friend and I only knew his first name and didn't know where he was from.

    Not me i was a goody goody, but my brother......

    we lived in a rented farmhouse in cork my 12 year old brother would take off in the farmers tractor accross the fields until one day the tractor ended up in a ditch. the famer came the next day and no tractor - my brother had to take them to where is was.....the farmer wasnt happy but his work hand thought it was dead fuuny.....

    Ah this is making me laugh even just thinking about it....

    Back in the day I had a particularly snobby family as neighbours. These fcukers looked down their nose at everyone and still do. Its pathetic really.

    Anyway, so much did the dislike for this family become that my best friend and I decided to poison them. A perfect logical thing to do in the mind of a seven/eight year old. We hoped they would die and never come back!

    Off to our respective fathers garden sheds and we gathered a concoction of various chemicals into a bottle and mix up some funky lookin sh!te. We waited til the next morning and poured it all over their freshly delivered milk.

    A knock at my door came a short time later....we got in some serious sh!t.

    Ah the memories :D

    I did lots of stupid things when I was younger:

    When I was around 12 I used to live out in the country and lived just down the road from a few fields with horses one of the lads wanted to have a horse so we went into the field and took two of the horses which we took for a walk off in the woods we left the horses tied up and went home to get something to eat. By the time we were done we decided to go back for the horses but turned back home when we saw the farmer and two guards coming out of the woods with the horses.

    At around that same age my mother collected me from school one day and before she got in the car she stopped to talk to a friend that was picking up her kid, I told my mother I wanted to get into the car and wait so she gave me the keys. Took them jumped in the driver seat and drove down the road untill the engine cut on me when trying to change gear. I knew I was in trouble in I could see my mother threw the rear mirror trying to run after the car and lots of parents looking on in shock and horror

    I got in trouble countless times at school for messing and throwing stuff in class and answering back all that rubbish. Told the guards one day they smelt of bacon when they had cornerd off an area in the city after a stabbing that didint end well. Finally got arrested when I was around 17 for having a air gun fireworks and a mask got taken to the station and put in a cell, this episode really taught me a lesson tried to stay out of trouble after that with only a few occasions where I went a bit mad all in all there were a lot of other stupid things I did when I was younger but I could type all day trying to get them down.

    I was having a fight with my brother on the morning of his Holy Communion (I was only 8, and he was 7) lost my temper and threw a glass ashtray at him.:rolleyes: It hit him just below his eye, and resulted in him bleeding all over his communion suit and having to go to the local accident and emergency dept for 5 stitches!! I got walloped to within an inch of my life:p

    He still bears the scar today..... Oops, my bad!!
