there used to be a boy who was only SIX years old and would try to steal bikes from people and I think he had a knife too. we were only about 10 at the time and one of my mates beat him up and his thug parents went around the area looking for us. it was so scary

Roof riding - we used to wind the front windows on the car down a bit, so you could grab on, climb on the roof face down, then be driven around the country lanes trying desperately to hang on. It's one of those things that I always cringe about now looking back, as it was so dangerous.

A weird thing we used to do was go round looking at car wheels and stealing any coloured dust caps we came across, we used to collect/trade them etc :laugh2:

I got into loads of trouble stealing dust caps when I was 8/9. Especially because we used to go for the silver ones. It was all very organised though and there would always be one of us on lookout. We were only caught because one of the parents discovered the stash hidden in a domino box.

What is this rubbish? All weird names. :idc:

Knock and run is basically what it is. :pipe:

"knock door run" how literal do you want to be, what a rubbish name for it. At least Ding Dong Dash is a bit clever and has the added bonus of having Dong in the name, therefore making it a big saucy for a kid's game

Marsh. 15-05-2014 05:16 PM

Ding Dong Dash sounds like rape tbh. :idc:

Z 15-05-2014 05:28 PM

Still more exciting than "knock and run", like the wet blanket version of hit and run :idc:

Jessica. 15-05-2014 05:35 PM

It's called knock-a-dolly where I live :umm2: Never questioned the name until now.

Round here that's called granny bashing.

Jemal 15-05-2014 05:38 PM

Its knock down ginger lol..

Me. I Am Salman 15-05-2014 05:41 PM

PREACH

Me. I Am Salman 15-05-2014 05:43 PM

"The name Knock down Ginger or Knocky Door Ginger, used in Britain, comes from a piece of British doggerel:

Ginger, Ginger broke a winder
Hit the winda - Crack!
The baker came out to give 'im a clout.
And landed on his back."

none of your silly variations have historical origins

Samm 15-05-2014 06:08 PM

Run or Break a leg

Basically you used to run across a filed and if you didn't get across in 5 sec then the people who where hit had to try and push you over on the grass, Only like three people broke something tbh it was banned after 2 years
