Just thinking about the things I did as a child, somethings not too bad, some things pretty bad. All this dates back to the 80's.

One of my favourite pastimes was to hang about near hair salons, and when a woman came out we'd all point and laugh at her hair.

I once ordered a skip for some miserable old git down the road. He came back after holiday and couldn't park on the drive, the skip didn't even have a contact name/number on it. Several bags of dog food also followed along with a mobile hairdresser.

There was a high style at the end of a field at the top of our estate. I covererd the top in fresh cow poo and hid in a hedge and watched an even more miserable bugger have to climb over it to get home.

We built a ramp at the top of the road, the ramp was at the end of the road and you'd land on a small area of grass. A new kid arrived and wanted to prove himself so we moved the ramp to the left a little, using complex mathematical calculations we'd worked out that he was very likely to land in a big hole that the council had dug. He did, he survived with only a small cut luckily.

Using a black widow catapult I'd shoot lumps of dirt into clean clothes hanging on the washing line.

I feel better now.


Confess your childhood sins here.

Used to deliver papers , my round started away from the paper shop , every morning I used to walk past a general dealer who always had his bread/ cake delivery as I walked past.

I used to look at the strawberry cream cakes in the back of the van , till one day I succumbed to temptation.

Then at least once a week I would have a strawberry cream cake prior to starting my round.

Never got caught either.

I don't know why I did it but it was a lovely start to the day !

I used to take one of these http://tinyurl.com/q67ulbv to the beach with my dad when he was getting bait to go fishing.

I would look for crabs (very successfully too, I might add) and blow limbs off, shoot them straight in the face, through the top, from a distance, point blank, etc.

I would go and do it tomorrow if I wouldn't get arrested for it. Excellent fun.

Remember university rag day processions? No? Well, these were parades of lorries through town, turned into floats for the day by students, who then rode the lorries through the city, collecting coins thrown at them by the general public for charity.

We used to watch from the first floor windows of my dad's offices. His office had a gas fire. We used to heat up the pennies and chuck them at students. Much merriment was had, observing the expressions of surprise on their faces and sniffing the burning flesh, as they caught the hot coins.

I call bullst. How did you pay for it? No way do skip companies drop skips without payment.

Oh please.... why oh why would I lie about something like this????

This was back in the 80's, I don't think most people had credit cards back then, what did you expect, a paypal transfer?

I'd imagine payment was taken on collection? Different times back then.

I used a powerful catapult and a small apple to probably kill Craig's knackers from five paces.

You don't think of the consequencies when you're a kid though, I shot loads of birds with my air rifle, looking back you think how cruel, but back then it was ace!

Not me personally but I once saw a fireworks rocket getting stuffed down a pigeons neck.

Grim.
