Your accent

[This Charming Mike]

Never heard of the first two but 'turn around, touch the ground, bagsy not it' is surely a staple of all of our childhoods? The only other variation I can think of is 'last one to sit down is it'.

 

[Posh Hammer]

There was no turning around or touching the ground in Peterborough. Just 'Bagsy Not It', said as fast as possible was suffice.

 

[Stagat]

Tiggy off ground was a variation where you were immune from being tigged it you were off the ground - on a wall or tree or clinging on a fence or so. Nobody ever seemed smart enough to just jump into the air when they were about to be tigged though.

Can't tig your butcher was a rule that meant you couldn't just tig back the person who tigged you. No idea why they were me butcher though.

Yup. We used that rule. I am also clueless as to where butcher came from.

I tell you what I do miss, a decent game of Curby.

One of the greatest ball games of all time and really should be a sport.

Did you employ the rule whereby if you hit the curb, you get to go to the middle of the road for your next throw? Another great game that you just don't see kids playing these days.

Certainly did. And you just kept going until you missed. First to 20 points.

From one side of the road, if you hit the curb then caught it, it was a double pointer.

There were also way of getting bonus points by the way you threw it. Back turned, over the head was my personal favourite.

 

[Aberstone]

Before I get ahold of them, BT can quite simply fuck themselves. All I'm trying to do is confirm to Posh Hammer and This Charming Mike that I mentioned Curby/Kerby on Page 12 of this thread.

Knock Knock Ginger?! You fucking having me on? Knock-a-door run.

Manhunt is awesome. We also played the scarecrow thing but I can't remember what we called it!

I would also like to register my surprise at Posh's poshness.

 

[Cardsfan]

I always thought he was called Posh Hammer because he supported Peterborough. Fucking hell matey!

 

[Skinner]

We called Manhunt Runouts. Fucking loved that game! I grew up on an estate with loads of blocks of flats and it used to be hours before everybody was caught as you could easily lose the person chasing you by going all sorts of directions and climbing roofs.

There was only two rules, you weren't allowed in anyone's house and you had to stay on the estate. If I was on the chasing team the first thing I did was knock on everyone's door and ask if they were in, their mums always used to unintentionally grass them up if they were cheating.

Haha, the ice-cream man was always the best way to catch people too.

Haha, fucking private school did that to me!

[Luke Imp]

'One Man/Two Man Wembo' was the chosen name up here...

 

[Alan Partridge]

Hikey Dykey.

Seeing how many peoples front gardens you could run through/hedges you could jump over before you got caught.

Known as hedge hopping in Altrincham.

 

[Spirederman]

my workmate from Barnsley has just piped up saying it was called "one man Wembley" when he grew up

Your mate is correct!

 

[Spirederman]

Known as hedge hopping in Altrincham.

We Chesterfield lot also called it Hedge Hopping.

 

[Spirederman]

You mean Spot?

That's what we called it.

I did, just up the road from me last summer. Being the child at heart that I am, I said 'Giz a go' which they did. I proceeded to epically fuck 3 throws up, leaving the kids in question laughing at me as I carried on my merry way up the road.

Oh the fucking shame I felt.
