Childhood Shennanigans:

The army used to have a checkpoint at the end of our street, at the bottom of a hill. I remember someone put a packet of trebor mints into a bottle of coke and rolled it down

One halloween we hit the local recycling centre for tyres and pallets and I nearly caused an accident when I dropped a tyre on a hill.

We lit fires, had BB guns and catapults... we were bad kids looking back on it!

Trying to remember more...

Im from the southside and we always said knick knacks! I remember the adrenaline when you pressed the doorbell

Ah good times..

We have a high wall in our estate, we used to stand behind it and egg cars ! So dangerous, buses were the best.

We once went ice skating and pooled our money together, we came up with 30 euro. We spent it on a can of corned beef, rashers, sausages, beans, eggs, muesli, cream, sugar...loads of stuff like that. Then on the way home we put it all on some boy racers car!

Id say he has some job getting that stuff off.

In secondary school we used to have radiators halfway up the walls in the study hall. We got a ladder out from the storage room one night during night study, put eggs on top of the radiator with half the shell missing, so that the whole corridor stunk like rotten eggs for weeks. Everytime they put the heat on we would get off all classes in that corridor. Was hilarious! They hadnt a clue where it was coming from.

When I lived in Cork, we lived in a little bedsit in someones back garden. We used to shoot people with a pellet gun over the wall. The amount of drunk people coming home from the pub, getting angry at nobody because we were milling him with pellets !

I dont even feel guilty

We used to jump into the trailer of passing tractors and get a spin down the road and them jump off again. There was many a head split as we lost balance and fell backwards after jumping off. I had to get 12 stitches in the back of my head but it didn't deter me as it was just too much craic. This was in the 70's when tractors trundled along at running pace (5 or 6 mph)

It involved stones. Quite a lot.

Nearly derailed a train when I was about 12,
We had the Athlone - Mullingar rail line behind our estate and used to play on it regullary as kids...it was closed even back then....
So when we went for a walk I e day on the mai li e to Dublin we decided it would be a good idea to out some huge big rocks on the track.....few my s later a train comes along.......big loud crashing noise as it hit the rocks and the driver hits the breaks.....guards were called out and all....we took off like bullets.....

The rope trick...

Two of us, one on either side of a road in the dark, pretending to pull a piece of rope when a car came down the street...

My mam went over to the neighbour's one day, so my brother and I told the gardener to dig a big hole and fill it with water because we wanted to make a mud pie. The gardener was always stoned off his bin though.

My mam came home to find the two of us sitting in this hole filled with muddy water.

We also used to throw avocados at people walking past our house.

Sounds made up but it's true!

Close to where I lived as a kid there was one of those gyms on the second floor of the local shopping centre, where when you looked up, you could sees rows of people pegging it along on rows of treadmills. On the far side you could also see giant mirrors and guys lifting weights and staring at themselves etc. Well eh, we, eh (and I'm not proud of this) would now and again, turn off their electricity at the mains and leg it.

I know, I know, could have cause all sort of injuries - think we did it so often they went and invested in a back-up generator.
