The Games we played
At the moment every time the ads are on TV its Game Boy, X Box, Wii Nintendo yet there was nothing like this when my age group were young, we had to make our own entertainment 52 weeks a year, along with the usual Cricket and Football, there all types of games we dreamt up, anyone remember playing Tinny, anyway what games did you lot play all those years ago

Re: The Games we played
think we all played.... nick nack, hopscotch,
some had a top and whip, we played french cricket you stood still with a stick in your hand and another player had to try and hit your legs with a ball.. of course you had to stop them, and if you was lucky you had a transistor radio,and listened to music out doors :theband: |

My brother Mick organised a Subbuteo (can't remember spelling!) league. All boys except me. There were matches every week wherever a house was available. (I can remember playing in Johnny Omerod's house up New Lane). Every one represented a famous team (I was Bilbao). My brother was easily corrupted and if any of the boys complained about losing he would arrange a match against me! Obviously I always lost. Still these are happy memories.

I think I remember Tinny ... did it have something to do with an empty tin in a circle drawn in the dirt:confused: I've killed off a lot of brain cells in my life, but somewhere in my dusty memory I recall "tinny tin tin".
I used to love "Owzat" ... played with hexagonal (octagonal?) dies. |

Used to love playing with two balls (Neil/Accyman .. bite your tongue !). Juggling them up against a wall. The task got harder as you had to do one overarm, then one under your legs, then drop one, turn around etc.
Sure it was done to a song .. 1,2,3 Alarah (no idea how to spell this), de, de, my sister Sarah ????? Or was this another game ? |
