When I was in Australia, I broke into a zoo and fed some rare animals to a crocodile.

That kid sounds like a right little c**t.

I never did anything bad. Just cheeky. Like the neighbour my parents didn't like, I rubbed out the letters 's' and 'h' in his house sign so that it read 'Wet Farting'.

And I wasn't allowed a hamster, so I just went and bought one myself when I was about 8. It was the pet shop's fault!
I said I couldn't take it back because it would be rejected by its mummy, but my parents didn't believe me.
I hope it wasn't true...

I got caught shoplifting The Led Zeppelin Guitar Songbook. That's quite embarrassing really.

The only thing I've ever stolen from a shop was one of those Corinthian football figures with the massive heads. They were everywhere about 10 years or so ago. I stole one from a shop (the packet it was in was broken, so I took the opportunity to slip the figure out and pocket it). It was a David James figure, and I felt so guilty afterwards though that I rarely played with it.

I once stole some chewing gum and felt really f**king guilty for it for a long time after. I just cannot steal (anything physical anyway (movies and music is fine(plus a few girls hearts ))

Oh dear.

Was the "oh dear" to do with the bracket imbalance?

That wasn't the bit that I highlighted...

Sometimes upto 5 - 6p at a time...

It was wild

Get out.

Oh dear, when I was at primary school, I was (apparently) one of those kids who used to bite other kids. The shame...

Age 11/12 in secondary school, I used to do this protracted worship routine to my form teacher, Miss Page (she was French) whilst she called the attendance register in the mornings. This "hilarious" routine worked around the fact that, as my surname was "W" anticipation was built-up during the rest of the roll-call. I look back on it with chronic embarrassment and a worry about what my fellow classmates make of it in retrospect (if they remember it all - they laughed like drains at the time). I was the sort of masochistic class comedian who made jokes in order for to get the school bullies to beat me up.

Only messing, Aaron.

I remember being encouraged by a friend to hurl limes onto the roof of his parents' house (so they'd "roll down the chimney" ready for consumption). I'm almost certain that system wasn't really in place. And I did steal a really good lego knight's helmet from my cousin's lego collection when I went to visit. Oh, and I crawled into a ladies' changing room as a small child, leading to scenes of middle-aged cellulite-sprinkled mayhem.

That kid who killed the rare animals went to my school, BTW.

I was nearly banned from my playgroup for biting one of the helpers on the bottom. She stood bolt upright and shouted "THAT BOY JUST BIT MY POSTERIOR!".

A meeting was called and it was decided my Mum would have to accompany me to playgroup from then on.

But you haven't told us what this routine involved exactly.

I believe, by law, that gives you the right to find him and give him a damn good kicking.
In the face.

Seeing as due to his age they can't legally punish him at all.

Prezunctly.

Or at least, if it doesn't (give the right), it should.
