Weird things you did as a kid...

I used to pretend I was an alchemist mixing toiletries in the bathroom sink creating sweet smelling chemical sludge.

Er my daughter does this now! I blame Harry Potter

I used to go round my mates house (who just happened to be of Chinese origin) and spend hours painting bamboo poles black with gold ends just so we could have 'Monkey Magic' style kung fu fights. Being Chinese and related to Bruce Lee he used take it very seriously, I only went along with it because his dad would give us a pound each for the chip shop.

We also used to do the alchemy thing with various household chemicals.

One lad we used to hang around with invented a game called tulipty finger.

Basically,he shoved his finger up his arse and tried to wipe it on people.




Didn't catch on.

Sounds like the project manager at ClientCo.

Your finger ...?

Yeah my finger! My thumb actually and almost half of my hand.

You may remember a TV programme called 'The boy David' who had a flesh eating decease? He was in the UK at the time and I was lucky enough to have his surgeon operate on my hand. That was in the early eighties.

Scars are still there but you'd hardly know, I'm very thankful.

I helped to get rid of weeds in the garden. I mixed weed killer and sugar together and spread it over the weeds. I then set light to it. One very black garden.

We used to have snuff sniffing contests but the snuff was replaced with powders found in the kitchen. So you'd start with an easy cinnamon or a nutmeg and then gradually work up to the chilli and curry powders.

First one to sneeze or refuse the snuff was out.

Washing powder was the ultimate challenge (and probably the most unsafe).

Any young Chinese boy would claim to be related to Bruce Lee, it stopped them getting beaten up.
