Back then when you got caught you got a kick up the hole.

If anyone did that now there'd be bloody murder......probably right though....

had i went home and told me father i got a boot in the hole for knocking on some aul lads door, he would have booted the hole off me aswell:eek:

My husband told me that he and his friends used to do knockadolly in Blenheim and one time the house owner was togged out in a tracksuit and trainers and followed them across 3 fields before he gave up

Another time he was caught and was asked his name, he said it was Tom - it's not, the man wanted his friends names and he said Dick and Harry and then got told off.

We used to have some track runner down the estate from us. We would warm up on normal peoples houses then when we where brave we would get some chase off this fella. Quick fooker.
If we where doing it on our own street we would do our own houses aswell so our parents wouldn't think it was us annoying the neighbours because who would be stupid enough to do their own house.
Another chap would chase us and if he caught us he would brag about still been fit and then chat away to us for a while then walk home. Sound chap.

I saw some young fellas (about 13 years old) doing it on John St about 3 weeks ago.

a lot of double standards involved in knockadolly. my oul fella would laugh about how he played it as a kid , and the craic they'd get off it, but if someone played it on our door he'd be all 'little feckin scumbags going around no control on them. by jaysus if that was my child id give him some skelpin'

what we used to is loop cat gut to my neighbours knocker, knock like hell and as we ran the cat gut unravelled as we ran to get head start as he used walk round the estate for hours with his dog lookin for us, we did it so often to him that he used be waiting in an upstairs bedroom with a camera takin photo,s of us

I once heard a women was washing her baby in the bath, and came down to open the door (with no-one there) and when she went back the baby had drowned.

So just bare that in mind the next time you are playing knockadolly you little rascals.

Probably another one of them friends of a friends story.
Sure if me was answering the door and someone was at it she would have taking longer to get back to the child. I blame bad parenting skills.

Skillz was fooking brilliant. Some legend at that.
We used to do the last one to turn around and touch the ground was on goal. Well embarassing when your up with yer cousin in Dundalk and you do it and all his mates looking at ya like your a looper.

Just goes to show how crappy the times that we currently live in are.

We're all going mad for nostalgia. This thread...the thrill on the hill....this!

ex_infantry man

all these things we did as kids died when our generation got older, ya just don,t see kids out playing or doin the things we used to do!!! the reason being parents are too afraid incase little jimmy gets nicked by a peadophile or is knocked down!!!!!
