Lads IRA was de best game. There were 2 teams and each team has a secret word. Den each member has a letter of der teams secret word. Den everyone runs nd tries t find an opposite team member nd wen ya find den ya literly beat dem up t get der letter nd if dey wont give it t ya, ya hav t torture dem ha. Den wen ya get a few letters ya try guess de word. 1st t guess de word wins! Greg

Kerbs. Throwing a ball against the kerbs on each side of the road. The only reason kids don’t play these games anymore is because they have x boxes and playstations, the internet and sky TV. We were lucky if we owned a TV. And if you did it was black and white and took 3 hours to tune in with cats ears. We only had bog 1 and bog 2. And there was never anything good on to watch so we had to use our imaginations and come up with games like, scotch and kerbs and rounders. Give a kid a ball today and they will ask how it works. Where do we plug it in?
