I just recently got all my old toys out of this lock up that my parents kept it in recently and it was a blast from the place looking through my old figures.
Toys
These are all pretty much figures from TV shows.
He-man
Ghost busters (those figures were genius but didn't really make sense, they were like a football player who could turn into a crocodile, or a builder who turned into a giant moth.
Beetlejuice.
And I don't know if these are just native to the UK but we had boglins and monster in my pocket figures.
Games
Hot and cold, hide and seek, tig.
You probably call them something different in America, but they're all similar games. With hot and cold you hide something and the other person has to try and find it while you tell them if they're getting hot or cold. Everyone knows hide and seek, and I think Americans call it tag instead of tig.
I was a master of stealth and so good at these games.
Bike races.
And I remember getting my plastic garden chairs, we sort of rocked on them which made the legs walk, and the game was to just go towards each other until you bang into each other someone falls off the chair.
It sounds so crap but I remember laughing so hard at the anticipation of being knocked off the chair and how stupid we both looked slowly advancing on each other on these plodding chairs.
Another involved two of you on a bed, one is under the thick cover, duvet, and the other outside it. The one under the cover has to smash the one outside the cover off the bed but he can't see where he is. A bit like a bullfight type of thing.
Another one involving the duvet is using it as a sledge down the stairs.
Similar to that was when I realized I could use a skateboard to go down slides at parks with.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
