    Who else used to do this?
    Used to do it all the time, in cubs/ scouts, before the world thought knives were dangerous… 372A0FD8-862F-4B3A-81F4-427486953917.jpeg

    Used to as a kid, thought it made me seem tough……then I grew up ( and strangely it didn’t impress girls!)

    Used to play Kirby,where you stood opposite each other on pavements facing each other, throwing a football, to hit the top edge of the curb so it bounces back…

  5. Rope swing … place a stick or knife as far back as possible when swinging. Next person needs to retrieve and place somewhere else.

    Swinging meant one thing back then too

    No. Don’t like football, that’s why I don’t get the football questions in the Friday quiz. Need to be brainwashed from an early age with that sport.:thumbsup:
     
  11. Snooker , darts and table tennis at the youth club on Friday night . Always got my Dad some Metal Mickey atomic thunder buster sweets (I think that was what they were called ?) before the tuck shop closed .

    Did you used to hang from your fork lift forks while someone took you up as far as you could without chickening out? That was another favourite old game we used to play.
    Dont worry…
    I was the health and safety rep in our dept.

    No, as I’d have fallen off! The squaddies sometimes left me up on the forks and went for a break. I was standing on them tho :thumbsup:
