20 gauge side by side stevens- full choke on the right and half choke on the left barrel. i often got doubles on quail but can't shoot a rifle for shit.

Got a minature tool set aged 4. It had real tools inside, in a sandalwood case.

Took chunks out of all my parents furniture in a day flat, and spent the next few years taking shit apart. Ten years later I got good at putting it back together.

my brother had a british bulldog that he left unattended for 10 minutes in grandma's house.
it chewed through 2 legs of a 150 year old dining table made from primary growth black walnut, in 10 fucking minutes.
can't trust kids or dogs unattended

What age are we talking about here? I don't remember much when I was really young, but when I was like 14-15, I spent most of my free time in, on, or under the water. During school breaks, it was Space Invader. On weekends, it was girls and nasty alcohol we smuggled into the discos in little plastic sachets. The stuff was dirt cheap, maybe the reason I gave up strong liquors.

Last time I visited Oz, my 70-something mother had the toybox out for Mrs Stroppy and my grandson... and she'd kept most of the toys from my childhood. Nostalgia overload. Some beat-up old Matchbox cars, and a pull-back and release Batcar. And a stamped tin spinning top.

Had one of these which was pretty good.

^^ Wow, that's pretty hi-tech. My brother and I had two empty jam tins attached with string for the hi-tech stuff.

Good sized rocks and trash can lids. I stole the lids.

plastic! They used to be made of lead alloy when I was a kid.

My dad had a few of them, and often mentioned when I was young that he had once had a lot more, but his uncle had sold them (his uncle was his guardian as his parents were dead and gone). His uncle died years later, and we found out he had been lying and in his house there were thousands of them, many still in original boxes etc, so he got them back, maybe 30 years later.

They were pretty cool, especially because you had all these sets based on forgotten colonial-era soldiers like Zulus:

Or Bengal Lancers:

There was loads of other stuff too like artillery, vehicles, all the way down to farm animals:

There were literally thousands of them, and they used up quite a bit of space. I'm not sure how many are left, I have a feeling most were sold.
