What were you really into when you were a kid?

I liked to learn magic tricks with cards and various props.
I used to do my (13 years younger) sisters birthday parties for her and she's friends various times as "The Great Remondo"

Also been useful with the bars in later life with card tricks and have had many free pints off people

I would be quite happy being Dynamo

Trains, specifically railway history and the 1980's, 1990's BR scene.
Still am to be honest

1 I'd like too wind my parents up.
2 tinker with cars with my dad.
3 sneak out late at night for party bashes.
4 play heavy metal music as allowed as possible.
5 listen too old records and cd's my parents had, that's where my 60's 70's and 80's music taste came from.
7 Playing pranks on my dad, mainly disconnecting the battery and sensors on his car, seeing him react was flawless, we still laugh about that now.
he did get me back one day tho.
8 Talk about cars yeah nothing new there.
9 go too car meets.
10 Just being a pain in the butt in general.

Oh yes sir indeed, still on this day I almost do all on the list, there is one thing that's not there, but let's say there's girls involved.

16 onwards that is.

Oh Dear!, breaking windows with catapults there were streets & streets of pre war derelict slum terraced housing in my town, all being demolished. we had to get those windows shot out with catapults before the crane with the ball got there first

pea shooters with a pocket full of pigeon peas was a weapon of choice also

Every single one of those houses had a cast iron fire range in them, worth a fortune these days.



Pram wheels, holy moly those 1950's Silvercross prams held a big premium for the wheels to make our bogeys with, no self respecting lad wa\sn't seen without a bogey back then.

Spud guns, a big Maris piper spud in yer pocket kept you going for days. lol

I had a spud gun as well and used too shoot CCTV camera's.

Cast Iron fire ranges, they really do make money.

Was also into trains when I was 9 to 10, my dad took me all over the place to see them. Then, in 1980 when I was 12, I heard Iron Maiden's first album and that was me hooked on rock music, spent all my pocket money on vinyl and gigs, still got most of the vinyl. Bought a Fender Strat copy and started to learn that but, then came girls and Minis
