Pranks, dares & mischeiviousness

[accymel]

Me & Tinks was having a reminisce about the funstuff we got upto as kids like the tumble dryer incident, some things was such a laugh now as was in their heyday.....things that are lost with most kids today - tending to prefer the more boring of dangers lol.

Mine was results of dares & stupidity [gee nowt changed with me then hehehehe], me & a friend dared to go off the golden eagle up coppice on a black plastic sheet on snow [lesser big trees then] & i went smack into a tree & me mate disappeared to other end. Another snow incident was being dared to jump into a huge pile of snow & to my discovery found it was a potted bush plant underneath could of nearly broken me leg. My other moments of madness was going from base of coppice right down to the bottom of Avenue Parade on my bike with no brakes [hehehehehe] days before eastgate, in fact for a long time went down any hill on my brakeless bike & suffered many of injuries - smacked meself into a lampost then went over handlebars - bust nose, skidding so close to the ground i took my flesh off my knee on Norfolk st - stupid bitty stone road.

Ah theres but few there rest - errr my dads on AW lol? So what was peoples memories of been a pranker, pranked or just damn right daft as a brush like moi

My most memorable has got to be rigging a mates flat up with fish wire and convincing one of our other mates that was visiting, that the flat was haunted. It worked a treat!

Worst prank I've been on the receiving end of was when mthead got rockfm to ring me Less said about that one the better!

At Uni I was in Halls of residence for the year I was there. It was a group of rooms, 18 to a square with communal bathrooms in the centre and a kitchen at one end.

The doors would spring open if you kicked them just by the lock, thgis led to numerous pranks,

1) The usual 3 o'clock in the morning, burst in and dump said occupant in a freezing cold bath

2) unscrew the hinges so when occupant came home and opened the door with the key the whole door would fall into the room.

3) and this was the best, one lad had to go home for a fortnight due to a family thing. we broke into his room, now in each room you were given one of those 2' x 3' long shagpile rugs. We watered and grass seeded it and grew a lovely 'lawn' in his room, the day he was due back, we borrowed a student uni mini bus and went up Snowden(I was at Bangor).We nicked a sheep off the mountain and stuck it in his room. When he came back he opened his room to find the sheep happily munching on his new lawn! ( We took the sheep back and it wasn't harmed in the making of this prank!)

Then there were the times at work, we used to get stuff delieverd in big boxes filled with those polystyrene S shapes. One lad made the fatal mistake of leaving his car keys lying aroudn so we opened a window, locked the car and then filled it to the brim with the stuff.

One played on me when I worked at the Britannia, By the kitchens there is a big extractor fan that blows the hot air out from the kitchen. I worked out that in winter if you parked under it your windscreen didn't get frosted up for when you finished work so I sort of made this my 'space' I also used the same spot in Summer.... Thats when the sods used 3 Catering sized rolls of Cling Film to completely wrap my car up. What they hadn't realised was that the heat from the extractor actually turned it into shrink wrap! It took me about an hour with a sharp knife just to get in the car!

I've got some more but I'll leave them for later

I think I led a sheltered life and the worst I got up to as a kid was knocking on a door or two and running away.

Did once play a good trick on a guy I worked with. This was in the early days of car phones (before mobiles came along). The boss at this company was a bit of a pain and a real time keeper but also kept bugging this guy at home. He'd more or less calculated how long it took this guy to get home and often rang him straight after work to ask him more stuff. It was really winding this guy up to start off with so when I faked a letter from the boss saying that he was getting a car phone for the guy so that he would be able to contact him at all times he went through the roof. Good job I did it on a day when the boss was out. Doesn't sound particularly funny now but was at the time.

He sort of got me back though so I don't usually go in for pranks.

in days of old when everyone had a coal fire certain youngsters used to climb on the roofs from an outbuilding in a shop yard,taking with them cardboard boxes,from the yard. they then proceded to turn the boxes upside down over the chimney pots. then run and hide, 10-15 mins later the unfortunate victims came running out of their front doors coughing and spluttering.(terrible)
