Stupid Things You Have Done....

[EcclesCake]

I've just been listening to the Now SHow on R4, they asked the audience what stupid things they have done. One audience member admitted to finding a box of matches and setting a fire at school.

It reminded me of a time when aged 7 or 8 I was playing with a friend and he handcuffs we were playing with wouldn't unlock. Being a resourceful child I went to my Dads workshop and found a hack saw to try and cut the cuffs off, that didn't work so I moved onto a Stanley knife.......

I cannot remember how we did finally get the hand cuffs of but I do look back and wonder how Fay still has both hands and no scars :-(

So what stupid thing have you done as an adult or child?

Please tell me you were a child when you slung your wellies on the fire Tambo????

I would have been about 3-4 when I got a pair of wellies I was so proud of them I wore them to bed :-)

most recently, trying to hand mr sloop a piece of pork pie when he was up to his knees in slather, pressure washing mud out off the moorings..
what he actually asked for was more pipe

Between the ages of 9-11 my friend lived next to a disused 'Asylum' hospital. It was on big grounds and completely unlocked - all the patients rooms, theatre, kitchens & chapel etc still had lots of personal belongings (postcards/ letters/ china etc) (we used to read the letters and some were very sad) and it felt like a ghost town. Literally no-one ever was there. We used to collect daffodils from the grounds in spring and play in the buildings - then we discovered a series of underground passages that went underneath the hospital - no lights, five of us holding hands and scaring each other as we went underground and tried to find a new exit out - the amount of pipes and sharp things bumping into our heads and eyes - it would be considered a H&S nightmare today. It was great fun though. It's all been developed and turned into posh houses now, but I always wonder if the tunnels have been blocked up when I drive past :-) great memories
