'Awhh, those were the days' - childhood memories

We played many pranks in our 6th Yr.....left sardines in our lockers when we handed keys back in, water ballooned the teachers.....egg and flour.....etc etc...

One of the boys hit me so hard on the head with an egg that I was bleeding and had to get it glued!

See we just trapped people IN the lift and wouldn't let them out

My bag got raided on the last day of school while we were in assembly. I came back and hit the roof as the teachers went through it as I was "a target" and "considered a ring leader"

That showed me not 1 teacher paid any real attention as I was the lad that all the girls, and most the blokes, hated, as I was gobby and had my own way of thinking......

Who's going to follow me exactly???

(OK so the bad was loaded with eggs, flour, water pistols etc, but hey it was the last day of school ever.......)

ahhh now see we had a 'pet mould' in one of the spare lockers.
It started out as a cup that had been left with probably some tea or coffee or something in it. Somebody decided that they'd start feeding it...and it grew..it was disgusting and only the brave opened the locker door to feed t, but very funny at the time!

I can remember white dog poo, klondike Pete,s golden nuggets, marathon bars,nutty bars, those corrugated plastic pipe thing,s usually fluroscent green or orange, that you kinda swung round your head and they whistled as you swung em, clackers, capn pugwash, the woodentops, also, unfortunately, I was something of a teenage arsonist, my specialty being river and stream banks, happy days

We had one of them when I was at Uni! Classic!

Most funny thing I ever did, and I still laugh with tears in my eyes over 30 years later, was get into school early one day and took the hinge pins out of the grand piano in the main hall.
Imagine assembly before 1500 kids as the head strolls in, the music teacher lifts the lid to begin the hymn and the whole lid falls from the piano, crashes off the stage and scatters two rows of first formers below.

We used to fill crisp packets up and lob them out the windows, got one in a sunroof once.

Once did this and I was crushed against a window......would you bloody believe it the window seals popped and wthe window fell out......I nearlly followed.

So so so many memories... some of them that won't land me in hot water for posting on the .Org... and these I probably can't go into too much detail with...

- Taking a GasGas around an indoor skate park (with permission) and creating a new "skylight" off the vert ramp.
- The numerous rope slides we built from various trees - the best one being a good 50ft up at the start point, comprising 2 ropes joined together, and gas mains pipework so you didn't burn your hands on the way down.
- Messing about in fields with old road bikes.
- Riding my BMX on the roof of the school, with one of the lads daring me to jump from the canteen roof. Flat to flat must of been 25ft vertically easily. Both tyres exploded when the contacted the floor.
- Related to one of mine above, tarzans in the local park, with insane (looking back) drops. One of which may of involved a fire.
- Road Rash - I won't say more on that, but by god it was funny.
- College, the computer network, almost getting my mate kicked out of college.
- Impending exam, and related to the above, sprinker system.

There's a lot of stuff that I used to get up to that I probably wouldn't do these days. Might be tempted to re-live some of them though.
