I used to go upstairs, throw a piece of string out the window, tie it to the letter box & knock on the door from upstairs

Haha brilliant!

Just before I start, me and my friends were stupid as kids:P

We used to buy loads of tennis balls, hide in a ditch or behind a wall and have a competition. The competition was like this- set your friend a target on a passing car on the side and get them to puck the tennis ball at it and they'd then gain points.

We got to the county final that year. Put it down to our superb off field training:pac:

We used to buy lighter fluid, squirt it on our hands and take turns setting each other on fire. We'd see who could last the longest with their hands on fire.
Yes, we were idiots.

Now that I think of it.........It's a miracle I'm not dead with the amount of stupidly dangerous stuff we did as kids.
Stuff like getting a scut (jumping on the back of stuff) on moving trains. :eek:
We were actually retarded.

Can you still get Lemon's sweets?

Yeah, I saw them in Tesco's last week.

here is one for ya

i was on the dart heading home from school , uniform bag the lot , got chatting to a elderly american couple who were heading for the ferry at Dun Laoghaire , for some reason i offered them a hand with the large number of bags they had , i was in no rush and felt like the right thing to do
walked into the ferry terminal - and just kept going , past the ticket bloke , past customs right onto the ferry :eek: handed over the bags and started to walk back , and just before i got off , something said " stay feckin on " , so i did

ended up in hollyhead at 10 pm , still with school bag and uniform on i wandered around holyhead till 2 ish , even got passed by the cops in a mini , they slowed down but kept driving :eek:

so i got cold and headed back to the ferry terminal , was sitting wondering what to do next - even considered hoping on the London train

so a woman closing a cafe saw me , looked concerned and got british transport police onto me , the ****ers were real arseholes to me , i was 12 FFS
they put me into a cell for a few hours, and then put me back onto the morning ferry - club man lounge no less , the crew were keeping a eye on me the whole time ,

so got home and wandered off , thinking a fleet of cops would be waiting for me - nada , nothing , i even had to bunk on the dart to get home

got home and my mother and the rest of the family were waiting for me, my mam said " so , where were you ?" i said hollyhead - she said " i know the garda were here at 3am asking did she know where he son was ? " she said in bed :eek:

my brother thought i was in bed and told her i was , so she never knew till the fuzz arrived at the door

kids can be little heart attack inducing ****ers

I really hope this is true!!!! what a cool story..

it doesn't need any dragons;)

thank you - on my kids lives its 100% kosher

i was a little ****er as a nipper

a bus terminus was outside my front door , as a 6 year old i would sneak on the bus ( no 16 ) when the driver and conductor were out having a smoke , and hide up top deck , and revel myself when i was too far away for them to feck me off it , would end up going into the city and onto santry ( i think ) and back again

i would try so often my mother had them all warned that if they found me on the bus , they had to keep me :eek:

if my kids get up to 0.0001% of what i did , i am f2ucked
