Jumping off the walls at the beach and thinking at the time that they were 60,000 feet high.Then ye walk by them as an adult and ye can look over them.

Dead Mans Fall...that was the game.ye would stand on the wall and the wee guy at the bottom would say how ye would like to be killed.Whoever did the most spectacular fall from the wall was the winner.Ma favourite was the grenade.

It was in Ayrshire,so it probably explains it all.

i used to play thunder and lightning... banging doors and then running away. murder ball and grass fights were good fun

All the local lads playing 20 aside football on the park.

OMG
My kids were having a grass fight a few days ago,came home covered in the stuff

[jings00]

think dog muck is more likely to be white if the dogs have been eatin bones. don't know if folk still give their dogs bones? when i was wee i used to think the white dog muck was from white poodles. seen multicoloured stuff once, ma mates wee jack russell had eaten all the bairns crayons.
games: elastics
