Things we used to do

[Hover Fly]

Talking to an ex-pat in a bike shop reminded me of:
Peeling worn out treads off tubs to replace with new ones bought over the counter.
Putting piles of washers on the screws to get toe-clips exactly right.
Any more?

Wonder at white dog poo?

 

[Andy Roadie]

Hit the brakes on Chopper, slide off seat and bruise testicles on gearstick.

 

[classic33]

Hit the brakes on Chopper, slide off seat and bruise testicles on gearstick.

Slight variation, have the gears "crash" whilst standing on the pedals. Come down and hit the top tube.

Fix punctures as opposed to simply replacing the tube.

 

[MontyVeda]

move to change the tv channel

 

[Shut Up Legs]

Moving your large, ludicrously heavy CRT TV around your living room, rearranging its coaxial aerial cable, all in the vain hope that the RF interference will somehow abate, and that the technicolour "glow" you didn't ask for will stop showing on the screen.

 

[The Jogger]

Take taxi's everywhere.

 

[steveindenmark]

Talk freely about golliwogs without being arrested for racism.

 

[Globalti]

Collect the golliwog labels off the marmalade jars, send them off and get an enamelled golliwog badge in return!

 

[Slioch]

Take lemonade bottles back to the shop to get the deposit back.

 

[TissoT]

Wake up in the morning and collect the milk bottles off the door step

 

[sidevalve]

Hit the brakes on Chopper, slide off seat and bruise testicles on gearstick.

Yours had brakes that worked ?!!

 

[Dirk]

Feed stale bread to the milkman's horse.

 

[TissoT]

Exchange rags or metal with the rag n bone man for a donkey stone

 

[slowmotion]

Wake up in the morning and collect the milk bottles off the door step

.....hoping that the starlings hadn't pecked through the silver foil and guzzled the cream.....
