    yeah tame stuff then, it was even better if we could get a ball-bearing and disguise it as a conker, then it really hurt when one hit them on the head, we was hard kids back then, at our school if they like you, they let you live and that was only the dinner ladies, the teachers were worse, firework night we didn't have a Guy, we used the teacher's pet
    I talk to myself much more these days I've found,
    half way up the stairs I stop and frown,
    what was I going to get? and have I got it yet?
    and what's more, was I going up, or coming down?

      when I went to school I had to walk and it was three miles each way, up-hill in both directions, boy was I annoyed when I found out that there was another school in the next street to our house.

      half way up the stairs I stop and frown,
      what was I going to get? and have I got it yet?
      and what's more, was I going up, or coming down?

              I suppose that you were inside writing lines rather playing school yard games considering your previous posts!
              I've everything I need to keep me satisfied
              There's nothing you can do to make me change my mind
              I'm having so much fun
              My lucky number's one
              Ah! Oh! Ah! Oh!

                  I loved that game with the long loop of elastic - also skipping, Bulldog, Blocky 123, kiss catch , and one where you all linked up in a line and flew round the playground - whipping the one at the end virtually into the air LOL!

                  But most of my games were imagination-based, we'd "pretend" we were various things, like horses, homeless people (lol), witches, animals, grown-ups(!)

                  Also loved playing on my space hopper thing - it looked like the planet Saturn and you bounced up and down on it (until some horrible kid nicked it! ), and a rubber ball on a plastic line that went round your ankle and you spun/hopped over it...

                  Oops sorry...does this count as a life story??
                  Resurrecting this old thread, I was just talking with my 8 year old about games I used to play as a child and Blocky123 came up. Did anyone else play it and does anyone know where it originated? I have a feeling it could be Why Don't You but I'm not certain.
                  The only thing to look forward to is the past

                    I remember a game we would play in junior school in the early 70s. So we stood in line facing a wall. Someone else acted as quizmaster and asked a question, usually something like 'Who sang...' They would then say 'go' and we would run to the wall, touch it, then run back to where we started, turn and run and touch the wall again. The first to touch the wall would get to answer the question. If they were wrong then the second to touch would answer it. Whomever answered correctly would then act as quizmaster for the next question.
