Playing footie in the street. Anyone ever play Kerbs? Scored extra points if you threw the ball over a car as it was passing by and hit the kerbor score more points if you could hit the opposing kerb and have it come back to hit yours, without hitting the ground of course.

Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.
Haha, kerbs* was a quality game, remember getting on a streak and knocking the hell out of loads of people in that game. 3 and in, and World Cup were all good street football games, but remember the one where everyone would pick a 1st Division/Premiership player and if someone scored they could ask you to give them a clue as to who he is, if they got it right you were out, great fun altogether.
Another thing from the past that is pretty much dead is arcades. When I was a kid we'd either be playing football or playing Street Fighter down in the arcade, they've pretty much died out at this stage though![]()
Supercans of Coke and Fanta!

I had loads of those a robot gave me one in Dun Laoghaire Shopping centre in 1980 during the coke yo-yo challenge, he looked like R2D2 but was red with coke written on him, he also gave me a badge with "ive met the coke robot" on it.
who remembers the Pepsi Challenge???
Also thos blue anoraks with the red lining and reflector bands on the sleeves.
Also football tennis or "squares" as it was more popularly known, everyone took one of those concrete squares on the road in a housing estate that was defined by the black tar lines that seperated each slab of concrete, the tar was also great for picking and bursting the bubbles in the summer!
Anyone remember the finger puppet things you got with the Kimberley, Mikado & Coconunt Creams Characters on them...
I seem to recall the dog eating the Kimberley one and the other 2 being a bit "less manly"
Cowboys and Indians.
Putting cardboard or Icepop sticks on your bike so it would hit the spokes and make noise as you rode around...
