wot were u like as a kid?

[Dr. Gonzo]

the ditcher friends shouldnt be looked down upon though, sometimes friends were just forced on u. Likw if your neighbours nephew comes up from England or anywhere your parents have already vested sole responsiblity of his intigration into the community in your hands coz u live next door. Or those annoying cousins who smell.

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?"

This brings to mind a really good childhood memory actually.

After you finished a jotter at my primary school, you got to take it home to show your parents. Anyway these two boys took it off me on the way home and put it down a drain. I cried, and went home. My gran was staying with me that week because my parents were on holiday and i told her the story. She said that i should have just punched them.

So the next day i am at school and i spread it round that i am going to punch James Balfour (the one that actually put it down the drain) in the face. Rather than the situation fizzling out as usual, I left school and a huge crowd af people formed, probably about thirty children and i chased him down, tripped him up, sat oh him in that way where you pin him with your knees and beat him until he bled. I was the champion of the world and when his mum complained to my gran, she said that she should take her son into the back garden and give him boxing lessons.

Oh and showing my friends how cool my autistic uncle was because he could climb things really big

[Babydoll]

i don't remember any ditching in my childhood. I played with the kids around from my street and we made gang-huts in the woods behind my house and climbed trees and stuff. Always had bruised knees and scrapes...there were too many people to notice if anyone was ditching etc. Was fun - such simpler times

[earmuffin]

when i was smaller i lived in glasgow. i had an imaginary treehouse in a tree in the back close... it was half shared with a girl named Shammah, she was a few years older so i idolised her ... one day we fell out and i called her a TART (omfg) ...so she banned me from the tree. and we had adventures trying to go around every back garden in our close; which never ended well, what with the glasgwegians leaning out of their windows yelling 'You fuckan kids, git oot mah gairden'

HIS NAME IS JAMES!!!!!1

When I was like 14 I would have to go to my old house (then my Dads) in Aberdeen, and I had no-where to go and be stuck with my old next door neighbor.

Conversation would go like this.
-"God this is so annoying I only have 100 pound to last me the next couple of weeks. Dont you hate when that happens Jason?"
(Jason says nothing while playing with the two pounds he has for the week in his pocket)
-"You know who's great? Kurt Colbain. I totally wish I could ahve met him he would ahve totally dug me"
(Jason cringes)
-"WWF IS THE BEST IM TOTALLY GONNA FUCKING PILEDRIVE YOU THEN MAKE YOU WATCH IT ON TV FOR 10 HOURS!"
(Jason is sore and bored)
-"Hmmm. My gran died and left me a shitload of money. Im gonna get a couple of guitars. My Mum says I havnt learnt to play the one Ive got yet but she's a bitch"
(Jason hangs himself from ceiling)


Jason had no choice but to visit demon child James because the only other option was spending time with Dad who would get at him for not paying James company
(Jason regresses and cries)

What a game.

[D.ed wood]

i was a great kid....i shat behind the sofa once....or was that my sister?

[All_in_black]

My parents were never really losers, like, they never made me sit inside and read, i chose to do that. they never made me go to any fuckin lame-ass clubs either, and ive never been to one to this day.

Yeah, my parents were never stuck-up and they never tried to make me out to be some super-genius or like, gifted - that came naturally. They also never looked around my room and they didnt have mental breakdowns when they found out i smoked weed. Almost did when i almost got kicked out of school for like the 5th time tho.

[Daveoftheband]

i was a hyper child, so my mum was always shouting and stuff and i was really accident prone as well i was in casualty that much they sent a social worker to my house coz they thought my mum was abusing me but really it was because im a clumsy bastard

[All_in_black]

Awh me too, my mum had the social work on her after i had a few accidents tho, but that was really just a formality. They just asked questions and she answered them, no big deal. Also, when i set my leg on fire she phoned the doctor and he said put vaseline on the burn and take me to hospital, even though you should like, never EVER put vaseline on a burn. So we got to hospital and all the doctors there couldnt believe our GP told her to do that so he almost lost his license but my mum didnt sue.

[Daveoftheband]

well the social work dept. were convinced my mum was up to no good as in 1 month i cut my head open, cut my foot open and fell into nettles (i had to go to hospital coz A) i was 2 and B) i had stings on the whites of my eyes)
