What childish things do you still do, that perhaps you should have stopped when you were a kid.

Examples from me..

Emergency services vehicles on Blues and Twos. I used to work on a busy main road, for about 9 years. Scores passed every day. I'd always stop what I was doing to watch them pass.

Even though I live not far from an airport and the airliners are on a base leg coming over my house, I nearly always stop and look up.

I laugh heartily, and always will, at a good old bottom burp.

Also when my niece and nephew come round and the Lego or Kinex? is thrown around the living rooom I will always build myself a car. Once or twice I may of even done a Vroom Vroom noise.

As a kid I/my family had no money (like zero), this meant no toys. I'm now in the position to buy stuff, and have more than made up for my childhood.

Always wanted a radio control car - now got 3 (one being the fastest production nitro car in the world) hehe
Always wanted a camera (as photography was the only thing I enjoyed at school) - now got over £10k worth of camera gear.
Always wanted lego - got my first set the Formula 1 set the other week. I'm now 38 biggrin

Can't wait until August until my first baby comes along, I won't look so dodgy visiting toys-r-us now laugh

I bite my toe nails ( I`ll soon be half century ) even though my knees make a loud click
I squirt water out of my mouth in the bath trying to hit objects around the bathroom
I make car noises when I`m driving fast ( when I`m on my own )
I ask my children to press the end of my finger when I want to fart
I find looking in drains exciting
I shout " Catch the Pigeon, Catch the Piogeon " every time I see one when I`m driving
I always ask fishermen what they`ve caught
I always touch electric fences

I could go on but I`m trying to get my head around gravity

Aaah toys.

My excuse is they are scale models...And I only buy one if I have flown in it. So the Corgi range of aircraft comprises several sea kings, an SH60, a Sea Harrier, a GR3 Harrier, and a Sunderland Flying Boat. Too young to have flown in the Sunderland, and I have done nothing more than sit in the seat of a Harrier.....So my rule about only having flown in them is flexible.

There is also the 1.43 scale car or two - the last few cars I have had though I really want a toy Met Police Range Rover.

I have 2 radio controlled cars A Nissan 350z and a Dodge charge - one I bought for my wife. Oh then there is her last Birthday present...I bought her a scale model RC lifeboat.

38 and three quarters going on 11.

Do you set up empty shampoo bottles to knock down with said technique?

I fart in the bath and smell the bubbles and then giggle at how disgusting I'm being.

I make engine noises when walking and change gear when overtaking other pedestrians.

I draw graffiti-style cocks on pictures of politicians so it looks like they are spunking in each other's faces. Mind you quite a lot of people do that.

When caught short and forced to take a piss outside against a wall or tree, I always try to get the water mark as high as possible.

Taking into consideration prevailing winds of course.

Another, writing your name in wee in the snow. Did this last year when I was caught short in the countryside. Fortunately my name is Dan, so easy to write and shot.

Always close my OH book that she is reading, annoys the hell out of her, but she wont learn to use a bookmark. Always giggle like a little school girl when i do this.

Occasionally make screaching noises when going round corners in the car.

i often have sugar rushes when i drink Coke and eat chocolate, once i start being silly i just cant stop, i start giggling, then it just becomes a fit of laughter and i cant stop that either, which ultimately gets worse the more you try to stop laughing.

I must admit I climbed a tree the other week. Was walking through the park I grew up playing in and saw a tree we always climbed, had to be done.

My in-laws were horrified when we went for a walk with them and I saw a tree begging to be climbed, apparently 29 year old married men with 2 children shouldn't be climbing trees.

When my son goes to bed...

I enjoy playing with matchbox cars lining them up in colour order or by make/model

I get out the brio train set and make the best, most intricate design possible, and declare "it's for Harrison when he wakes up"

I still do skids on my bike on occasion

I hide from my dog and jump out making 'ggggrrrrrr' noises as he approaches

If a friend does or says something stupid I might put my tongue in my lower lip and make gimp noises

I am 34.

I make engine noises when I'm pushing the trolley round the supermarket.

I quite often do cartwheels down the garden.
