What do you still do that you did as a kid?

Glue.

Watch too many cartoon's - just it's animé now.

Walking through big piles of leaves and loving the noise they make

Pick my nose (and eat it 😉 )

Play board games.

Just spent about £120 on 4 1980's vintage games.

Hide the chocolate wrappers so my GF can't see how many biscuits I eat.

Apart from riding your bike & playing with yourself.

That sounds risky.

...and waft it up so you can smell it properly....

What do you still do that you did as a kid?

Walk behind cars.

It was drummed into me by my gran that after getting out of a car I should always walk behind it rather than in front, the logic being that my grandad might accidentally mow me down with a sudden burst of acceleration from his Austin Allegro should I walk in front of it. I still do it habitually to this day despite almost always being the driver.

As little as possible.

If it gets properly cold in winter I like walking up to the quarry and lobbing massive stones in the frozen puddles at the bottom. Actually managed it in Jan '21 I think.

Annoy my siblings. 🙈🙉🙊

Fart

In the bath... though nowadays it's after I wash my face.

Lego.
Change Playmobil setups to make little ridiculous scenarios to annoy/amuse my little sister kids when they come back into the room.

When I was a kid my grandad got me in to the Goons and reading Edward Lear,since then I have never stopped doing silly voices and bad impressions of regional accents,much to my families embarrassment 😆 🤣

+1 on things like leaf pile shoofling, ice breaking, skimming stones, making leaves go bang etc.

making leaves go bang

I feel this is something I need to know about.

Oh and that reminds me, whistling with acorn cups. Really loud!

Throw helicopters in the air.
Collect conkers & then wonder what to do with them when I get home.
Feet off the pedals through deep puddles.
Fail to do more than a 3-pedal wheelie.

Disappoint my parents

Throw helicopters in the air

And this! Did it last week with my kids of 21 & 23 🙂

Making owl noises with your hands.
🦉 😀

obsess over football shirts

Play Elite - once on my Acorn Electron, now on an X Box

Eat Parma Violets

I should probably add "Arguing with my mother" to the list.

One just kicked off about train strikes and how "they are all on 50k while ordinary people can't get to work and the train companies aren't making profits to share"...

I should stop talking to her about this sort of stuff. It just makes me angry.

making leaves go bang

I feel this is something I need to know about

Take fresh green leaf (beech in spring work well). One hand form a circle between thumb and first finger 👌. Lay the 'circle' horizontal. Lay leaf on circle, no gaps around.
Other hand, form a cup of sorts. Slam down cupped hand on leaf, forcing air through the leaf and the circle.

I still eat pick-n-mix until I feel sick and then keep going until there's none left.

Breathe and play with myself, usually at the same time.

Ride my bike and annoy people...

Plastic aircraft modeling. Still rubbish at it.

Skim stones if near a smooth body of water.  Though being escorted out of the public baths was a bit OTT if you ask me.

Argue with my parents children.

Make stupid noises. Beatbox when alone.

Play guitar. Just as badly.

I collect conkers. I also weight them and calculate statistics. See if you can find a 40 gram conker this year.

Use a piece of grass as a reed to make a noise blowing air over it (I'm rubbish at whistling).

Class A drugs.

Well done Tired,I was looking at my conker collection in the shed today 😀
They were meant for a charity conker match,but as the event never happened,I am now wondering if they have dried out too much and lost their weapons potential 😉

Take things apart.
Skateboarding.

@matt_outandabout leaf popping is a tradition in our family. Lime trees in spring produce the best shaped leaves for loud pops.

sometimes i go "beast mode" when going up the stairs by using my arms as wells as my legs for extra speed, like a silverback running to confront a young challenger

Annoy my siblings. 🙈🙉🙊

My kids have taken the place of my siblings, but yes.

Use a piece of grass as a reed to make a noise blowing air over it (I’m rubbish at whistling).

I've taught the kids to do this as well. Just before we all start lobbing pine cones at each other, shouting 'BOMB!'

Always!

Tot-ups

Catch fish in the beck

Illicit crisp sandwich eating

Eat apple cores.

Butter on digestive biscuits.

Ask for bits at the chippie.

Leaf popping! Yes!!
Got both my little ones at it. Loved their little amazed faces when I first showed them. They have it down now.
Stone skipping.
Spend as much time in the woods as possible, whether on bike or not.
Outdoor raves, albeit legal ones these days.

Sleep.

I still can (and regularly do) sleep in until late morning or even later on the weekend, like I did when I was a teenager.

climb trees

To all my fellow skimmers, please join me again next September...

I bet there's a few Old Tossers on here:

Make stupid noises. Beatbox when alone.

Well there's no need to keep going on about it. You sound like a broken record.

But, but, but, the rules in that contest are all about the distance of the skim.  Nothing about number of bounces, let alone accuracy in also hitting the random rock in the middle of the tarn/pond/lake.  Amateurs...

edit - or height when bouncing it off an incoming wave

Stick my finger in my bellybutton and sniff it.

Matt,I seem to remember you posting something like that^^ last year and thought it would be a good STW meet up.
🙂

Almost everything but with more money

Making that noise with a blade of grass (the one that sounds like a rubbish kazoo)

Motorcycle noises when I’m wizzing along on my bicycle

Motorcycle noises when I’m wizzing along on my bicycle

+1

Also do it when riding my motorbike 🤣

Beast mode up the stairs - I used to do that, I'm going to start doing it again!

or height when bouncing it off an incoming wave

Was teaching the boys to skim stones the other day, found a perfectly placed standing wave in the river to get really high ones off. I had more fun than them!

Lime trees in spring

Are good for eating. Yum.

Leaf kicking, puddle jumping, tree climbing, playing video games and getting angry when I’m tired.

Most things

And I hope I never stop

make train noises when i go under bridges.

kids used to love it. now they hate it. grandkids love it. win win.

riding your bike & playing with yourself

look mum no hands!

look mum no hands!

Then crashes through not paying attention.
Look mum, no face. 😂😂

Ask for bits at the chippie.

Don’t have chip shops where I am but I did like scrumps as we Bristolians call em.

riding your bike & playing with yourself

Can’t beat some things 🙂

@fasthaggis

I'm game for a wee rideout to it and STW league of Tossers...

When Lady Stardust or any track from the album plays on my playlist at work I sing it word for word
Still throw 18" long X 3" diameter branches to get the big chessys to hit the deck, conkers was a posh word never used in Scotland unless you went to public school
Just bought a box set of Tin Tin to watch every episode made over the winter
Lie on the pitch and pee in the hole where the goal post slips into
Only joking never done that as an adult but if needed to it's an option

Eat pee and poo

Fail to punctuate properly

Model railways (aka “train sets”)

Don’t have chip shops where I am but I did like scrumps as we Bristolians call em.

The chippy down the road from me used to sell a big bag of scrumps for about 6d, and it was a BIG bag! Loads of salt and vinegar, it took ages to eat. I doubt any chippy will sell them now. That one is still there, but it’s a burger place now, but I know the bloke who owns it, through his family he has two chippies and two burger places in town, their burgers are as good as anywhere around, with the possible exception of Schwartz Burger in Bath, but I haven’t had one of theirs for years - a twenty-four mile round trip isn’t really justifiable when there’s one down the road!

Next time I see him I’ll have to ask him, I saw him earlier today in fact, wish I’d seen this post before I went into town.

Oh, and read loads of books still.

Schwartz Burger in Bath

That’s a memory from the past along with a night in ‘Bog Island’ 😀

Knock door ginger on my neighbours. In fairness it's usually an Amazon parcel.
Stay up late - sleep late.
Hanging around with same mates from childhood.

"Still throw 18" long X 3" diameter" brought me out both in a cold sweat and jealous rage... until I realised it was not the complete sentence. Phew!

@matt

STW league of Tossers

^^Another'needs to be on a T-shirt' line 😆 🤣

You can still get bags of scraps in Thirsk (although you have to buy something else as well)
When last at home I went to the White Horse chippy in the centre with some mates after a day at Dalby. We were eating in and I asked for plenty of scraps, they gave me a heaped cereal bowl full. I felt sick as a dog when I finished them.
