but wouldn't do now?

We used to hold fireworks (rockets) until they flew off at our opponents at the other end of the playground.

It was more interesting than football!

What stupid, stupid things did you get up to in your youth ?

I used to get into a large card board box in the middle of the floor and pretend it was a ship....shunting it around the floor by sort of hopping in the box.

I don't think I'd do that these days.

Rude.

Reminds me of a friend - he got accosted by a strange bloke in a car.

He said to my friend "do you wanna see some puppies?". Never one to lose out on a profit opportunity, my friend replied - "No. But I'll come in your hand if you give me a quid".

As a baby I used to always have a bit of muslin cloth in my mouth, one day my charming brother swapped it for a used nappy. Apparently I wasn't really bothered

I used to walk around in only my pants wearing my potty as a helmet. Not too sure I could get away with that today.

"Scrumping".me and a few mates used to climb the fence into an orchard to nick the apples and pears.
We got chased out one day only to climb the fence and for it to collapse trapping our fingers on the other side.

Play on railway lines.

Lift up girls dress's.

Now THAT is a dodgy hobby. We used to put matchbox cars on the line and pick up the flat cars once the express had been past.

So wildly stupid - If I'd have know the risks then !

I used to put peanut M&M's in the tram tracks, they used to make a very satisfying 'crack!' when the tram ran over them
