Bad moveā¦those Mk2 Escorts were rubbish.
Not really as dangerous, but we once got 12 people into a Mark V Ford Cortina and went from Upper Shirley to Malmesbury Road.
The faces on the people witnessing twelve teenagers emerging from wheel arches and boots was incredible*.
* Probably doubly so because I think everyone was tripping balls on acid at the time.
And using catapults - with ball bearings and pebbles.
Weirdly I donāt recall anyone ever getting hurt.
Obviously a shit shot
The worst injury from rifle wars was a broken arm.
One lad was climbing a tree for a good sniping position. He was discovered by the other side half way up and shot in the arse. The urge to clutch his arse overrode the urge to hold onto the tree and down he came.
I did say I donāt recall anyone being hurt.
Back in the day only death and/or dismemberment counted.
The only real injury from Firework battles was a shrapnel leg wound after IED went off too close to a passing kid. Weād collected gunpowder from dozens of duds and rockets that failed to go off and packed it into an aluminium tube. We lodged it between a couple of branches and lit the fuse. The kid came past as the IED went off, with a shower a broken wood a metal shards.
Not too much blood so we left him to it.
As is right and proper. Good work
So you injured an innocent bystander and left him to it?
Hmmm. Interesting.
Was it you?
As he ālimpsā into the court room
It was an accident, as a group we took a shared responsibility making each member virtually innocent.
Thank you, Boris Johnson.
I guess shagging the wife of one of my best clients was pretty dumb. She left him shortly after for another bloke, so I got away with it.
Great tits though.
