Moving on from previous thread and not wanting to hijack it. It lead me to thinking of what experiments we did as kids.

One I really remember is a group of us putting a troll doll in a microwave to see what happened. It's hair cinged and it melted to look disfigured. I kept it for years.

What did you do?

Making our own fireworks with black powder nicked from my dads shed....he had a gun licence and made his own shells.

They actually worked quite well!

We used to wait for my dad to go out. Nick his lead from the shed. Stick in the gas poker and melt it in a baccy tin.

Now if my brother is a member on here -he'll know who I am right away.

I bet no one here even knows what a gas poker is.

I remember gas pokers Gran. Used for getting the fire going without kinderling.

I had a dreadful experience melting lead too. It hurts even to remember it.

Ha! I used to do that with toy cars. I was the playground king of the multiple pile up and there always seemed to be a petrol tanker involved.

I also used to buy cheap chemistry sets and contrary to all the sensible instructions on the box I'd simply mix everything together to see what happened. Usually a really bad smell engulfing the kitchen and hanging around for days and a lot of melted/burnt stuff.

Thank feck we didn't have smoke detectors back then!

@ 12 years of age we used to buy sodium chlorate killer to mix with sugar and make pipe bombs, we used to plant them in dung heaps on the farm, light them, run like hell and no matter how far you ran someone ended up splashed in sh*te

at that age we were all driving the tractors and bailing for pocket money

Putting empty crisp packets in the oven to make tiny crisp packets was about as daring as I got

I was such a good girl

I remember having an amazing Airfix Lancaster bomber that my dad had constructed for me. Prefect in everyway. I set light to the engines and threw it out of my bedroom window one dark night. Spectacular!

Example. When I was about 6 I begged and pleaded and pleaded and begged to be allowed to camp outside over night.

They finally relented.

They woke up in the morning and I, and the tent, had gone.

I got bored and decided to move to a house down the road...
