After watching an episode of Godzilla, I thought if you went down far enough in the sea, the water would stop and you could walk about quite normally.

Also, that I actually could run faster in my red tracksuit.

I once had a pair of trainers (no laces, just velcro straps, cool I know), that I thought would make me run faster. My mate thought it was hilarious and said the only way to run faster was to drink Lucozade. This means nothing if you haven't seen the Daley Thompson ad.

That you actually got drunk on Top Deck.

In primary school, our homework was to find out something about Henry VIII, so I went home and asked my sister if she knew something about Henry VIII, and she did.

The next day in class I keenly stuck up my hand when we were asked what we'd found out and proudly repeated what she'd told me: "All his wives were whores, sir!"

(In my defence, I realised almost immediately that "whores" was a word I should know the definition of before using in public again.)

---

In secondary school, when we were asked to write a letter in French, I wrote at the top of the bit of paper: "A French Letter", which made our teacher, Ms. Cathro, giggle a lot.  I asked her what she was laughing at and she told me to ask my mum.  I asked my mum, and she giggled and told me to ask my sister.  I asked my sister and she giggled and wouldn't tell me.  What a bunch of giggly bastards!

Well said.

Some childhood memories:

Nipping down to the fish and chip shop on a Friday afternoon to pick up dinner before my dad got back from work and watching Spider-Man on ITV at 5.15/5.30.

Seeking the 'spies' in Whizzer & Chips comics.

Sending my mate I AM THE LAW and WE ARE WATCHING YOU, LAWBREAKER notes through his letterbox on my Judge Dredd chopper, and his mother freaking out thinking her son was in trouble with the police.

Awesome.

 :lol: Brilliant. Did she think that's how the police operate? "that kid's been up to no good, let's sneak a note through his door to let him know we're watching him"

They headlined at Leeds/Reading Festival a few years ago and failed to play it.  I thought it was pretty poor.
Pffft...

On shouting out answers, i made a massive missive at assembly with the hymn sheet questions. The question was who was Satan? I stuck my hand up thinking the capital letter pointed to only one man. And shouted Jesus its another name for Jesus.
"You Judges ain't got dick!"

Watching "Robinson Crusoe" on BBC tv during the summer holidays pretty much every year and never knowing how it ended because the last two episodes were always broadcast after we had gone back to school.

The Bananasplits.

Reading "The Exorcist" at aged 11 despite my mother forbading me too and then spending three weeks sleeping with the light on because I was scared shitless.

Bike rides for miles and miles.

Football matches on the local playing field that incorporated 40 players, went on for 4 hours and finished 38-29.

Playing red rover.

Burying each other in leaves during the autumn months despite being warned that leaves had fleas in them.

Choppers and Tomohawk bikes (never Grifters. Casuals rode grifters).

Those ice creams with the bubblegum at the bottom.

The ice cream man (Tonibell) selling B&H fags for 5 p each.

Watney's Party sevens.

I could go on forever...
