What games did you play growing up?

Hit the brit with a petrol bomb, fastest away from the brits in a race, hide and seek from an RUC * squad during a riot,build a bonfire with most Union Jacks on

 

We called that 'pap' in port glasgow

 

Kick the can.. rounders..moshie ( throwing coins into 3 holes) V for victory ( getting from 1 pole to the other without getting caught .if you got caught you joined the team catching till everyone was caught)

 

That was chip and toss.

Moshie was 3 holes in the ground.

Where the * the 3 holes came from I don't know but they were there

I also lost my lunch money playing moshie. I was not very good

 

I remember now the 3 holes was about a meter apart

And remember trying to hit other coins at the end of the 3rd hole why I

don’t know but still remember the sound when you hit the coin smack on.

still chucked coins at the wall as well lol


The big H signs that was stuck on walls and lamp post by the council I vaguely

remember playing a game with the numbers ending up with bumps to the back

if you picked high or low

the good old days

 

The good days before social media.

 

I was going to say I was a kid when parkour was quite cool. But I lived in a rural place so instead of buildings we went and played 'parkour' (who could jump the furthest or from the highest spot) on the sea cliffs, which seems insane now

 

Pile of old mattresses and a high window was all we needed. There were so many old mattresses back in the 80s. You just don't see that anymore. That and white dug *.

It's a mystery.

 

Dogshite was everywhere man. One of the reasons we hated the local hobbit called Keith and his furry mutt. He was in the neighbourhood watch and was the no1 enemy. Kids were about everywhere especially on a hot day, showing off their new trainers. If you had tn's or a new nokia phone the craze was that you'd get them stolen off you at some point. Street robberies were a common thing actually.

 

Chucking the coin closest to the wall was pound up in my area down here. Be near tears as a wean if you had a bad day

 

One of my da’s mates tried to teach me chess. I had adhd quite severe back then and kicked the board up in the air. My granda from Ireland warned my cousins and said I had the devil in me but it was just adhd basically

 

My Da would say “aye you were a bad focker”
One time I betted him for *. We were watching 'bonzai' if you know that game, its a Japanese gameshow featuring such things like mr shakeyhands man, where you can guess how long a interviewer can play a joke on his victim by shaking his hand for as long as possible. I won every bet

He hadnt realised we were watching a re run and i had it recorded on sky.
