^^^spoiled middle-class brat type post

I wish!  I don't want to get into a Four Yorkshiremen sketch but my early years were in a North Lanarkshire mining village in the 1970s. 

I would have loved to have been middle class though, exactly because I wasn't.

North Lanarkshire mining village in the 1970s? We used to dream of growing up in a North Lanarkshire mining village in the 1970s!

16p for a box of matches that would give you a whole days worth of fun/arson.

My mate was the chief pyromaniac in the operation. I was just an assistant. He was always experimenting with sugar and weed killer, aerosol cans, anything flammable really. He got some great results and kept the emergency services on their toes for few years.

Anybody have a CB in the early / mid 80's?

Had an Amstrad 901.  Nowadays there's virtually f*** all on 27mhz FM.  Over.

 

 


I knew a guy, Gary Morrison was his name.
It was the early 80's and Gary had a full CB kit on his chopper bicycle c/w car battery mounted behind the saddle on a specially constructed stand. Handset & tuner were mounted on the handlebars!
I'm fairly certain that he will be doing time for BEAST offences.
His handle was Obi Wan, take of that what you will.....

Lazily floating down the water of Leith on a large tractor inner tube. Going to the ice rink at least 8 times a week. Playing games of football with at least 40 people on each side.

There will be more.

Building wooden rafts for floating about in Grangemouth docks. Throwing a rock at my friend Eric who was sitting on the raft and splitting his head open instead of gently splashing him. A summer spent demolishing an abandoned house without injury. Cadging fags off sailors before paedophilia was invented.

In honestly dont know if kids nowadays do go off on their own for hours on end on their wee adventures like we did.

 

 

They don't.  Weans don't even make bogies* these days.

*Nothing to do with their nose.

I don't think DA Baracus wanted to kill anyone, to be fair.

As in:  "Kids, let's find a plank of wood and attach a set of pram wheels to it so I can hurl you down a hill"

The response would be, "That's shit.  We'll finish our paninis then go to the local climbing wall seeing as you booked it. We'll have sushi after".

You could still do that, assuming your pal's still with us.

 

Couple of days late with this response but me and my mate took a ball to the park around a month ago just to play long passes to each other and we were absolutely cunted after about 10 mins.

Last time I tried to play football, I kicked the ground on my first go and could hardly walk for a week.

Young me would be suicidal if he'd known that we'd forget how to kick a fucking ball.
