We all had them noooo:
I was reminded earlier of something a mate and I did when we were 17. We had been to a party redface: and had to make our way back to his house on foot. We decided it would be more interesting if we made this journey ONLY in a straight line noooo:
We took a rough bearing and set off. The route took us over walls, through many back gardens, a few encounters with dogs and irate householders, a skool playing filed, a couple of graveyards scared2: and a multi storey car park.
Why? Shrugs:
SO what did you get up to? Popcorn:
-
I nicked a car once to get home... redface:
My big mate made me do it...didn't get caught neever

Dear Chief Constable.... whistle:

One of my "ad-hoc" barbeques resulted in most of Banstead Woods catching fire.

Excellent! More should be burned...

Pirate's imagination is now seething with images of netball skirts and regulation knickers noooo:

Did much the same sort of thing in the New Forest.

A bit of a fire theme developing here. Me and me mate use to set fire to the fields at the end of the estate. I stopped at that, but unfortunately he got the "bug" and progressed on to houses a few years later and did time for arson noooo:
-
A "friend" you say? Of course....

Um, who else set fire to airfix models and threw them out of their bedroom window to simulate WW2? redface:

Anyone else use a length of plastic drainpipe and 12 for a quid rockets, as an improvised RPG?

What are your boys experimenting with? whistle:

Setting fire to icing sugar ~ as demonstrated to Minimus at High School Open Evening under controlled conditions. He tried it in his bedroom and set fire to a plastic waste-paper bin.
He'll not do that again Spank2:

What is it with boys and explosives? rubschin:

Dunno ~ I had all the explosives I needed from the RAF thanks.

I suffered serious acid burns to my right hand, due to the stupidity of a Chemistry Master, when I was 13.
I lost all interest in Chemistry lessons after that and had never had any interest in exploding things .... I suspect this was because I discovered girls were more use when one didn't frighten them at about the same time as my hand healed.
Joined the RAF as an Apprentice at fifteen and a half and had real guns, grenades, smoke bombs, tear gas and all sorts of other fun stuff to play with so I think I may have missed out on the adolescent desire to shoot down or set fire to Airfix, play with fireworks or anything like that. As I recall my main concerns were, I confess, getting through each day intact and getting my leg over every evening.

I did once use a Bren Gun to totally destroy all the target supports on the range at RAF Hereford .... Got 14 days jankers for that one.

Oh yes, but they were clay pipes.
Also floating bangers etc, down the local brook so that they exploded in the tunnel under the railway line - great sound.

I was reminded over the weekend of an escapade that involved leaving a replica of the Venus Di Milo in the entrance to a police station. But that was fueled by Young's Special (And no explosions)
