Genie Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 For the record, it was Kirby for us too. And on that theme of things we did all day long, pogs, marlies and conkers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 White dog shit I think that is to do with bones. If I get a bone for my dog ...hey presto. 70's stylee dog stuff. Could it be that supermarkets don't give out bits for your dog but the old local butcher does, thats where I have to go. Thats where it went IMO. I don't even know what to ask for in English but it's "Mak ik, twee merkpipes voor de hondje AUB ?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted October 31, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted October 31, 2011 There is a delicious irony in the fact that this is the golden age of nostalgia. All dewy-eyed about the days before DVDs, computers, multi-channel TV, mobile phones, etc.? No problem - you can now get all the old stuff again on DVDs, your computer, your multi-channel TV and your phone! And I do, bigtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 in kirby when you caught the ball you got to stand in the middle of the road in our rules :nod: Also, if you had your back to the road and threw it over your head it was worth 10 points.

Stevo985 Posted October 31, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted October 31, 2011 It was kirby for me too. But I would have spelt it "Curby", because you're bouncing the ball off the curb. Also, when we played it, the main aim was to get it to bounce off both curbs (i.e. hit one and get it to cross the road to hit the other) not catch it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Curb" as a verb is perfectly OK British English. Don't really know where the "kerb" spelling came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
