I remember getting chased by an ice-cream van one time at school cos we crammed a full-size snowman through his open window. He jumped into the drivers seat and chased us into the playground, nearly ran us down, mad bastard.

There was another time when I was about 15 and we were walking back from the cinema feeling mischievous (we’d already turfed a section of road and helped ourselves to pockets of golf balls from the driving range). We decided to try the old trick of sitting on car bonnets to set the alarms off and were walking along the street looking in car windows to see which had the red flashing light. As we were checking out a car we heard the house door open and this big meathead walked out and started swearing at us saying “what the fuck are you doing to my car, you trying to break in?”. He pulled out this big fucking revolver, pointed it at our heads and cocked it. We managed to talk him out of it after a bit, but I’ve never run so fast in my fucking life than when he lowered the gun! (The guy got sent down for firearms offences a few months later).

Funny i can’t think of any special chase stories at the minute which is strange as all i can remember doing as a young’un was causing trouble!

Its still really bad for it round our way with the younger ones , but there where two people who used to get it bad when me and my mates where younger . There was ” gorgeous gordon ” who was basically a local guy that cut about with his chest puffed out always combing his hair back and trying to look cool with his swagger. He was a regular for the abuse because he snapped so easy , just a few chants of ” gorgeous gordon ” at the window and he was like a whippet out the door with his dog following . He would chase us round the scheme for miles . Sad to say but he kinda deserved it , used to kick the shit out his dog all the time in the street .

Then there was “spy guy” who never actually chased us about but would come out and square up to everyone ( we where all about 13 he was 30ish) for playing football or hanging around the street , one day he appeared with a camera taking photos of everyone claiming it was evidence of everyone vandalising etc thats where the ” spy guy ” name caught on from . the guy acts very oddly , still lives round here same with gordon .

now the younger ones mostly just wreck and steal from the paintballing site . the paintballing centre has taken over an old ww1 aa site where we used to have parties and generally sit around to keep out of the eyes of the law , love going up there to sit in the summer .

Funny stories

Used to be gobby to the older lads when I was younger as I could always out run them, I stopped this the day I vaulted the fence at the back of my garden and fell through a bush. noticed my jeans were up around my knee when I looked down I had a stick going in one side of my calf and coming out the other side :yakk:

Also there was “Frying Brian” used to run a chippy until it got shut down, he used to chase us on his little honda step through moped.

Another nut job used to shout loads of religious crap in the street so would give him a bit of shit, used to try and attack you with his sandle :laugh_at:

always thought myself a goodun

but we like getting chased by the police, its a laugh… when i was like 11 we used to get them to chase us down the seafront, then theres this cliff bit on the sea, so you have to swim round… so we just jump straight in and keep going… they either stop and give up or are stupid enough to give chase. when i was there they never jumped in tho

theres this geeza “its too late for this sort of thing”. when were on the piss we always knock by his house and shout “its too late for this sort of thing” and he comes out (at like 9pm) screaming and waving this stick thing ITS TOO LATE! TOO LATE FOR THIS SORT OF THINGGGGG!

then theres patrick, complete nut who chases you if you talk to him. thats fun.

brenda, likes to talk to everyone, unfortunately she spits everywhere. shes a nut too. we taunt her from distance. she doesnt give chase – she loves the attention

scary steve… complete freak, just a complete freak. you just wanna knock him out, not taunt him.

theres lots of farmers round here u can wind up too, but most of them have guns

sounds like a perfectly “normal” cross-section of East Anglia’s older population..

I used to wonder why Dungeon Master, Never just moved away?
I know I would.
He got it for at least 10 years solid.
He was proper mad… Not like ill in the head or anything, He just never had the sense to just ignore, ignore, ignore.
He would try to but…
then he would open his window and start giving verbal back, Angry verbal as well.
(quite shocking angry stuff for childrens ears)
You knew you had him then, So you would turn up the heat….
Youd get a bit closer.. (my ribs are hurting with laughter as I type this)
Go to the next car. (you needed a barrier like a car, Just in case he used his air gun on you) Shout a bit louder.
Offer him on. (challenge him to a fight)
we were kids, he was grown up,
I remember shouting (aged 13)
Come On Then Dungeon…..DO YOU WANT YOUR FUCKING GOES??? (Goes=Fight)
YOU OLD BASTARD!
COME AND FIGHT THEN!!!!!! (I am soft as shite by the way))

I seen his face change (from my distance)
He Snapped!!
There was a few of us but it was my words that done it that day, I suddenly got the fear as suddenly he was at exploding point staring directly into my eyes from his upstairs window,
“You Think Your Fucking Big enough Like? You Little Fucking Wanker!!!!!” came his direct response at me.
My felt stomach go as he singled me out, You should have seen his eyes. But I replied (after a split second hesitation)
“WELL FUCIN COME ON THEN YOU STUPID OLD BASTARD!!!!!

He just stared into my soul.

I went on, “COME DOWN THEN, YOU AULD CUNT”

I swear I could see his pupils expand at quite a long and safe distance and he said, really fast…..
Well fucking just you wait there then you little bastard and wil see, As he launched himself out of his door and bolted like a panther dogchain in hand, Along the landing to the stairs.
Everyone just Shit themselves at the intensity of his anger and instantly scatterered!!!!

I didnt even look back.
I sprinted as fast as I have ever ran, I was half way across town when I was out of breath and could run no more before I even checked to see if he was stilll after me.

Andrenilin level???? Yes! Lots. Level 10 D/Run.
I was shaking for a good half hour. I was expecting him to come round every corner any second.
No more dungeon runs for at least nearly a week as he put the Fear into me that day without having to catch me.
I still live with that fear to this day.
When I resumed my Taunts, I was already scared. It was more than a silly game now, He knew my face from that run and I was always that bit more feared on future runs, I knew he had my face remebered for sure that day and knew he would delight in getting his well deserved revenge if he ever caught me.

The Stakes had been raised all right,

But that just made it all the more fun.

Ahahahaha fucking epic mate!! :laugh_at::laugh_at::laugh_at::laugh_at::laugh_at:

Wasn’t it such fun annoying the fuck out of people when we all were kids! raaa

times have changed and not for the better.

a lot of angry old men aren’t that stupid to chase really young kids as they will be labelled as a nonce and hounded by the rest of the estate so they simmer in silence – or maybe thats why the BNP has been doing better recently, they have to get their members from somewhere!

Also to be fair the NHS, cops and social services are way quicker at getting people with mental health problems (particularly dementia) into semi-secure places, with CCTV and wardens. There was an amusing crime report in TVP-land where some kids played knock down ginger, only to find the local bobby was in the communal areas giving the old folk a lecture on security and avoiding harassment! they were all nicked and made to apologise to the people..

but there is a much bleaker picture, a lot of young kids realise that a gang of them are actually stronger than a grown man (even a healthy and strong one) if they fight back and/or have weapons – there have been a lot of murder/manslaughter cases in recent times where a bunch of kids have killed an older man, and they don’t seem to realise or care what has happened until the cell door clangs shut..
