3. collected/bet up poshos for.. pogs premier league stickers and pokemon cards

5. played catch and bash aka IRA bashings, kick the can and Curbs

6. had the air in your bike tyres let down by local hoods

7. watched zig and zag, bosco and rosie and jim everyday and if you were a little bit of a posh northsider you had NTL so you could watch fancy stuff like Two of A kind and art attack
