    Back at work and everyone is talking about the first time they got really drunk (usually at 15/16). I have been laughing as I feel a confession coming on....

    Okay then first one...
    Under-age drinking.
    Would have been a dark summer night in Broughton Astley and would have been 14/15 at the time. A Goth friend (no that is not a confession, I have never been a Goth) knew some older Goths who could get served in the village shop and got a few bottles of cider, I think it was Blackthorn Dry.
    We sat on the park and had a merry old time on the swings until one of the Goths, not sure which one as it was dark and they all looked the same, pointed out to some car headlights coming towards us driving across the park. We thought this was cool so stood there watching as they got closer. When the car was about 20 feet away we saw the orange stripe down the side and the blue lights on the top. Scatter !
    I jumped a fence and hid in a nearby garden on a flower bed ruining it in the process. One of the Bizzies stood by my head shining a torch in the garden, how he didn't see me is a miracle as I could have reached out and un-done his laces (now that would have been cool). They poured all our cider away ,didn't think to leg it with the bottles as that would come later as we transcended teenage drinking etiquette , I stayed on the flower bed for ages after they went being quite p1ssed and not daring to move as I though that they would have just driven away to the other side of the park to wait for us to return. Eventually the Goths came and got me and thought it was very funny as you could see quite clearly in the garden where I had been lying.
    Sorry to the proud owner of the garden who got up to find his efforts ruined by me. I would like to say that I learned a valuable lesson that night about other peoples property and anti social behaviour. All I learnt was to keep the bottle top on and run with the booze.

    Just realised this was post 666 !

    Under age drinking abroad.
    School exchange to France when I was 15. OMG. We ran riot around Paris. We stocked up on ciggies (Silk Cut) at the first motorway service station on the M1. Smoked like a chimney on the ferry, all the "well developed" girls smoked so everyone else joined in.
    I remember drinking vodka at a party in a huge garage underneath one of the houses and a "tropical" cigarette been handed around. I was so sick I remember a French kid asking me to throw up in a neighbours garden so his parents wouldn't know that we had been drinking.
    If you put a banger (French firework) in a burger king milkshake and light it it will spray chocolate milkshake everywhere and scare people, you will also get a lifetime ban from Burger King Paris .
    If you are ice skating (and bored) stop and use the skate blade to scrape ice which you can then pick up and compress into a solid snow ball. Skate around the rink at speed until you are level with the cafe at the side full of your friends and teachers and hurl the missile into the middle. This will get you a life time ban from Mennecy ice rink . (Mennecy a small town on the outskirts of Paris)
    When in the swimming pool and the inflatables are out, if you are playing King of the castle, try not to get cuaght (twice) kicking smaller kids of the inflatables. This will get you a lifetime ban from Enderby swimming pool. (I have been back since,Ha.)
    So I apologise to the good people of Paris/Mennecy and Enderby.

    On the return ferry we spent about 2 hours at the back of the boat letting off all the fireworks that we had bought as the teacher had told us that customs would be searching the coach in Dover. Did they hell.

    Hiya Jim - I haven't been around for ages, then I come back and catch up on your thread and the 'Having fun with Debitas' one - so now I am in a cheerful mood and wondering what to say if the kids ask me what I'm grinning at. :D
    Your school trip to Paris was an absolute riot! Soooooooooo glad I wasn't one of your teachers... :rotfl:but they will be proud of you when you publish your misdemeanors and show off your undoubted skills as a raconteur (sorry I don't know how to spell that).
    By the way, you don't sound in the least bit worried right now - isn't it about time you changed your name?!

    Plenty of things to be worried about - I have a hole in my shoe and no money for a new pair.
