lol at some of these exploits...
i remember one school summer starting all innocently over the park, armed with a newspaper and a magnifying glass (WOMD's in the old days)!!!
anyway, one minute we are buring the eyes off some newspaper celebs and then 10 minutes later and a few leaves and kindling a ****ing great tree is on fire. next thing we see plod walking over the field towards us...
hot tailed it off on our bikes, got home all sheepish, had me tea, next thing...
ding/dong....!!
plod on the door step, invited in by my folks to give me lecture (read: bollocking).
turns out, one of my brothers mates over the park had grassed me up !!!
never did anything like that again!!!
ps: chemistry sets rocked for killing ants !!!
