Was that the same as goalie when? Goalie when = ingenious means of leveling two uneven sides It was when you only had a few players so one outfield player was nominated to be able to handle the ball. Inevitably if anyone needed to make a save they would shout out "change danger goalie" just before they handled it

500's... massive bollys the size of a cricket ball worth 500 small marbles. Used to use them in the power stations to break up coal. Coal + big ball bearings in a huge high-speed drum = coal broken down into smaller pieces for easier burning.

Just a thought, 8 pages in under 24 hours for an "offtopic" subject on the main board. Has it hurt anyone? Have lots of town threads been pushed off the page? Would anyone have taken part in this ace thread if it had been offtopic ? (NO)

500's...massive bollys the size of a cricket ball worth 500 small marbles. Just reminded me of the 2'ers, 4'ers, and 10'ers marbles! I think we called the ones that were white with a swirl of colour (instead of see through glass) "milkies"? (Not 100% sure, may have been 'pearlies'. They were 'chinas' at our school. Then 'squids' were reet fancy and 'glass allys' or just 'allys' were plain glass, often coloured.

Life often revolved around phone boxes. Calling the speaking clock or dial a disc to listen to a crackly record down the phone. Why did we do that? Annoying the operator or ringing someone randomly and asking for Valerie Singleton (of Blue Peter fame) and sniggering when some old dear said "never heard of them"!! We would chain folk in, push against the doors, toss fireworks in, set light to the phone book and other daft, unmentionable actions. There was climbing them, queueing for them (on Sunday nights there could be 12 in the queue), breaking the windows, looking for coins, jamming the slots, graffiti, snogging and the old game of "how many people can you get in a phone box?". Many hours spent trying to undo screws and cables. What fun!!! If the government brought the boxes back we would get some old-fashioned anti-social behaviour, not the granny-bashing we have today. Talk faster on the public phone mate, pips are going....

(Mum) " a new bike? A new bike? Ill bike you my lad"

Hit me smack in the mouth and also bust my lip. Daren't tell my parents or they would have given me another clip. Today--National news, court case, big compo payout,.sacked teacher.

This is a top thread and having left Mirfield circa 1977 to work away it has brought back some good memories and given me a laugh.A time of innocence. Anyway after 32 years in Brizzle here are a few from down here that give me a ; Bristolians always add an "L" onto the end of any word that ends in an "A" You therefore get some crackers; Idea becomes Ideal Diarrhea - Diarrheal Police pandal car. There's also plenty of local dialect; "were bis to?"--Where are you? "Alreet me babber"--How are you mate? "Gurt Lush"--"Rather nice" "Ow bist"--How have you been?

500's... massive bollys the size of a cricket ball worth 500 small marbles. Used to use them in the power stations to break up coal. Coal + big ball bearings in a huge high-speed drum = coal broken down into smaller pieces for easier burning. Always wondered what they were for. My Uncle brought me several the size of cricket balls but all the golf ball sized ones i had were smashed from old machinery at Wimpennys on Manchester road. Marbles....who remebers "pogs"? "Genies"... i used to raid the tip at Standards and big build genies from piles of gunpowder. How i still have all my fingers i will never know!

Spectacles were "gems" prounounced with a G not a J. Speccy folk were known as "gemroyds"! Very short-sighted folk were "speccy gemroyd"!!

I worked in brizzle for a year when they renovated the debenhams on broadmead, was about 1983/84 ish and a local guy who worked for us was an absolute legend and used to be able to recite this word for word. You do need the accent to make it work but it was class...... www.thewurzels.com/lyricsblackbird.htm

The desolation of smashing an old bearing to find it contained roller bearings instead of ball bearings.
Although being the resourceful generation a roller bearing could always be incorporated into a Meccano model or something else equally as imaginative.

Segs in yer shoes. Probably doesn't mean much to most from huddersfield but as I lived in Brighouse, as teenagers we went to Halifax quite a bit and a shop that was on the end of north bridge was a fave. "Ben Aaron's" ex army shop and they did superb black brogues with hob nails and segs in and a horseshoe on the small back heel! At our school if you didn't wear these and a pair of black Spencer's trousers (pegs or begs, also from Halifax), you really were a nobody!
