Was out with mates over the weekend. Most I have known since I was about 4-5 years old. Anyway we were talking about the times we got into trouble when we were wee.
There were loads of times a teacher had told us off, or we had done some silly things but there was one which everyone seemed to remember.
I wasn't involved in this one, I had a football game so while I was playing footy they came up with this idea.
They found a matchbox in a skip, not the tiny ones but the older large ones. They wrote Bomb on it with a marker and put some dog poo in it before placing it on someones door for a laugh.
They then forgot about it, the man who lived in the house owned a pub and had recieved some threats in the days leading up to this. One of which was someone saying they would set fire to his house.
So when being faced with a matchbox at his door with the words bomb on it he decided to phone in the police. The bomb squad were called in and used one of those expensive robots to detonate the box. Of course near by houses were evacuated (now being around 1am, a good 4 or 5 hours after they put it at his door)
The exploded the box and sent the poo flying all around the porch of his house.
After door to door questioning my mates were pulled up about it, some said exactly what happened and the police seen the prank behind it but still warned them about how serious it was etc.
Some of my other mates tried to blame others and say they did very little which caused a few disagreements afterwards..
So whats the worst you or your mates did as kids or have done recently?

Why is it most teachers who have something to do with PCs (DT, IT etc) are miserable and evil people, who think that every student is either thick, or overly confident about what they can do with a computer?
It's not so much 'naughty', though it did create a hell of alot of stress...
Today, whilst in Electronics, I had to go visit a certain DT teacher to sort out my project. Anyway, I needed to use the PC. However, the left button on the mouse didn't work, so through exensive use of the arrow keys and the tab key, I was able to change the settings to left-handud, thus the click button was now on the right. Said teacher didn't knopw the mouse was broken, blmaed the whole thing on me and didn't realise it was easy to switch back.
I was told to leave his room, I shouldn't mess with his computer, and I am awaiting a suitable punsihment.
