Scottish people and their funny words.

No telly? :laugh:


Going up chimneys and giving them a sweep was all the rage in my day.

we did this but I was never brave enough to get on the roof, I went on the bonnet though :joker:

oh yeah this, i think we called it bulldog and it got banned too ;(

The knocking on doors thing is called 'knocky knocky nine doors' here. Has a nice ring to it :D

Bulldog was class, except one bloke always had his steel toe cap boots and would just launch kicks at everyone

Never did anything that bad really, did go through a bit of a shoplifting phase at one point which swiftly ended when I got caught one time, even though I did manage to blag my way out of it on that occasion

The knocking on doors and running away we called it knocky nine doors. We played rounders a lot, hide and seek, squash against the side of peoples houses. There was about 12 of us all knocked about together happy days. We were always outside in the summer. Then we got a bit older and started watching tv, wed night was @ mine for coronation street and dallas, thurs was @ susies for top of the pops and fame.

We all smoked and stole from the corner shop for dares. I got banned for nicking a bar of chocolate a gold cup, which I never even nicked lol

we used to dare eachother to go into the shop and ask for weird stuff like cabbage flavoured ice cream or 20 Benson and Hedgehogs, we thought it was hilarious

Used to have a trampy fella who lived in our village in a caravan for a while as well, we quite enjoyed tormenting him but he was a genuine nob so it was alright, started lobbing snowballs at his caravan one time and he came out chasing us saying he used to be in the Hong Kong police force and he could do us for assault

only knock-and-run really, never got up to anything else bad.

Greg, cos you grew up in a posh neighbourhood yours was called ding-dong-dash. Down where I live, we were too poor to afford doorbells, so there was no ding donging for us..

You're showing your age there. :p

well well, weren't you the little hooligan :laugh:

omg yes bulldog and dodgeball

that was only last year too :bored:

It was entirely justified, this bloke had nicked our family wheelbarrow a few weeks before and had a reputation for petty theft

Vigilante justice you could say

Justice for the wheelbarrow!:ninja2:

:laugh:

:joker:

We fell out with the neighbours 4 doors down and they set fire to our wheelie bin.

There's still melted plastic and scorch marks on the pavement just outside the garden.

Playing console games. Football, hockey, playing cops and robbers etc...

all the residents that lived in this GRIM building in my area were moved out in like 2003, but a bunch of polish people came out of nowhere two years later and squatted n used to sunbathe behind it during the day. I just remember that entire year consisted of us sneaking behind the building and throwing water balloons at them, it was so fun <3

there was also a rumour of a pedophile living there

that building doesn't exist anymore though it was demolished in 2009.

Quite right Salman... good London lad that you are.

:joker: I'm not even sure why we called it that seeing as we definitely didn't have a doorbell on our house when I was a kid, think it was just what we called it round here. Aw I miss those days, all the kids that lived on my street moved away when I was still in primary school and we just never stayed in touch. Have most of them on Facebook now but obviously we have nothing in common anymore.
