How soon is now?
Finishing my paper round on a Saturday morning, buying 10 Benson & Hedges and then spending whatever was left in the West St arcades. Skint by lunchtime, but still had 7 fags left to sell at 10p a time.

Sounds like an Italian job to me.
Funnily enough my mum was Italian.
She stabbed me once with a fork when I was 10

Whilst in mid-shoplift going to the butcher section at the back of Fine Fare and asking for a tray of leftover sheep eyes, and watching each splat under bus or car wheels.

Setting the Pong bats at the correct angle so the ball would go back and forth automatically, the infinite repetitive beep driving all and sundry quite mad.
Or the VG?? opposite lower school.
There was someone like you in the year above me at school.
One sunny afternoon we all went to the school playing field because the Army were putting on a display.
As they landed in a helicopter a mini explosion and cloud of smoke went up, I remember thinking at the time it was part of the display but the military lads were far from impressed.
Some of the main lads in the year above got the chemistry expert (twisted his arm or bribed him) to make some sort of bomb

Waiting years for the film you missed at the cinema to appear on the telly.
Only being able to get a hot dog at the cinema or as a big bender at the Wimpy.
Making a camp out of random timber and bricks.

My Mum bought me one in 1982. I remember when she gave it to me. She cried and I think I nearly did too. Very special present. Wasn't even my birthday. I think it was a tenner back then, which wasn't cheap to us. I paid £450 for this year's. Fraction of the cricket as well. And at stupid times.
I'm hoping you didn't have a garden.

I do remember us making up one of these bombs in a sparklets soda siphon bulb and blowing a hole in my friend’s dad’s shed. Scary stuff!

Was that not mutually exclusive ?
If you go up to Easthill Part in Portslade, and down to the far south west corner, near where Alex Dawson lived, you will find a wall between the park and the field. The wall there has been part demolished and rebuilt in rather unattractive brick.
I knocked that wall down, with the (feeble) assistance of Steve Neilson in around 1969.
Gratuitous vandalism.
I was only 10 at the time. But I had the intellect that would qualify me as criminally responsible.
Yeah, prove that, wankers!
