chrisp65 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 ah yes, a classic, the yoot of today haven't got a clue back in my day, late 70's early 80's the wearing of said brothel creeper on a bank holiday weekend would have seen you chased up and down the prom and the beach and kicked around by skinny kids with shaved heads and stripey blazers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted April 20, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted April 20, 2013 ^^^ Yep, those Eton chaps were absolute nutters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Had similar problems during my teens with skate shoes. Clunky old bastards, but comfy as hell - like sofas on your feet. Trouble is they aren't made for a quick getaway from a bunch of chavs in their customary trainers and tracksuits. Fortunately my (then) flowing locks of curly hair soaked up any damage and a swift elbow to the ribs got me out of a few situations. Never fancied owning skate shoes since, mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Genie Posted April 20, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2013 For the past 6 months the young lads who live next door have booted their ball into my garden on almost daily basis. Its no big deal, whenever I got out the back I just pop it back over the fence to them. Anyway, today I'm sending the ball back over when the father (big VIlla gan FWIW) says "who's ball is that?", I reply, "yours, isn't it?". He says "no, we thought it was yours so have been giving it you back everytime we see it in the garden". So, **** knows where it came from but for the last half a year me and my neighbour thought we were doing a good deed by returning a ball neither of us owned 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 (edited) To help you visualise the ball it was one of those really light plastic (we used to call them air floaters) balls in yellow. I cannot find a picture of it on the net. I might wait for a windy day and boot it as high as I can into the air and see if I can start the game in 2 other neighbours gardens.

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 These? We call them fly-aways. Bastard things if you happen to be in nets. Managed to break a greenhouse window with one back in the day. Nets were just to the right of said greenhouse. I was on the left and attempted a cute outside-of-the-foot curl into the top corner, however I contrived to toe poke it, and it curled agonisingly beyond the far post and straight toward the greenhouse. Didn't think it would smash a window, being a wee lightweight thing and all. Didn't hang around long after it did, either. A swift exit followed and I've denied any involvement since, despite the four eye witnesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 20, 2013 Author VT Supporter Share Posted April 20, 2013 Yeah we call them flyaways too (at least I did when I was at school) They curl the opposite way to a normal football. Madness for a keeper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I don't hink you can make them do anything. You can smack your foot through them, or lift them skilfully with a chip. What happens next is pure random factor based on chaos theory, catholic miracle and global warming. That picture has given me a flashback to a summer holiday. Me and my brother got bought one each. He took his on the beach, gave it one kick and the wind took it from Newquay to Lundy in one go. We decided it was too risky to use mine. So kept it safe, got it back to the camp site later that day. Went into the neighbouring field, my dad took the first kick, straight into brambles and punctured. Those are my only two memories of a holiday they probably saved up for 6 months to take us on.

leemond2008 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Getting a smack in the thighs from near point blank range with one of them balls on a freezing cold morning, used to sting to ****. I used to love playing in goals when someone had a flyaway cuz sometimes they would come at you really slow allowing for a spectacular acrobatic save...if it doesn't swerve away from you at the last second Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
