[: : Scott : :]

from when i was like 9 i hung out with bigger people who were like 13. then they were 16 and drinking and smoking and i was 12 and didn't like it so i ditched them. i was also fat and nervous.


go figure.

[RussellOrGoose]

I was neither everyone I was friends with lived around the park so we could all run home by ourselves and say 'away from a drink,back in a minute'
muhahahaha

[RealR]

I used to live a bit away from my mates, easy enough to cycle, or indeed walk. Guess hard to be ditcher/ditched when people couldn't really drop by without going quite a bit out of their way.

The use of phones was a rarity but half time when someone would ring up asking if i wanted to go play footy i couldn't be bothered. Given the big hill on way there i'd be knackered before we play :/

Still went out at least few nights a week for a good ol' game. Ahhhh good times.

It helps to share.

My poor lonely childhood. Plenty of McDonalds' though, and a stack of Beanos for company. "Oh ZX Spectrum, you'll never ditch me for the cooler kids and slag my family off like that GERMAN EXCHANGE STUDENT BASTARD FROM THE ARMY HOUSES ROUND THE CORNER will you?" *hug*

Actually. Much discomfort probably hugging a Spectrum. Jaggy.

One time, these kids I considered my "friends" from my little kind of Barratt's 80s housing "SOLUTION" of a few dozen semis, well.. I'd just got back from being on holiday to WALES and I had bought a magic set with my holiday money and I went round to show them and they threw bits of it down a drain (cundee if you will).

That is one moment I always remember when I hear that true cliche "Kids can be so cruel, eh?"

I remember a boy befriended me, only to later steal some of my 'Monster in my pocket' toys. He came up for tea one time and swore and my dad gave him a row. Is there anything more uncomfortable than your parents giving a friend a row?

I was avery shy when I was a kid, and I still am really. Because they were so infrequent because I avoided them as best I could, I can remember pretty much every telling off I ever got at school.

[Venkman]

I always tried to see girls privates and jumped of incredibly high things

[Daveoftheband]

or wot about wen u used to give a mate something (a toy for example) and u tell him. "Just bring round to my house." then they would come to ur house and they wouldn't have it. the excuse they'd give u is thee most famous of them all...."ive left it in my bag"

[Rich]

i used to carry a large stick around. all the time.

me and my friends used to play 'stones'. the aim of the game was to hit each other with medium/large stones.

[Daveoftheband]

i had a stick to, i used to use it to knock down nettles so we could make a den.

who had a den and wot was it like?

[Abi]

My school kept telling my parents I was some sort of genius and so they bought me loads of books and I used to just sit in my house and read.

I occassionally played outside with my next door neighbour, but I wasn't allowed to cross the road or go any further than about 20 feet either side of my gate....wasn't much fun playing on a bike in that space...

[xglitter-me-upx]

I had a stick I found in Camperdown Park.
I named him Bob ,and drew clothes on him.
He used to take him out to the park with me, until the evil boys at the park set him on fire.
