How cool was...

and yet noone has mentioned Terrahawks

"Terrahawks, Stay on this channel. This is an emergancy!"

I used to love that one too, I bought the boxset of that for the little one when it was on offer last year

England: In 1970's known as "tig". Also known as "It", but sometimes "Tick", "Touch", "Had", "Tig" in the North-West, or, in the Midlands, "dobby".

Dobby? What the hell is dobby? Bet it's those daft sods from Dudley having a laugh...

[Stewart]

but i remember some stuff, like tag and british bulldog.

Exactly mate, Tag. Whats all this Tig nonsense? Tig sounds like a game Elves play. The game is called Tag, because the object of the game is to tag people.

Anyone calling it Tig at our Infant school would have been set on fire. Or at least told to call it Tag.

Poll added to settle the score.

(yes, i can do it... i've just found that option, i'm a bit proud of myself!)

The game is called tig, because the object of the game is to tig someone

....works both ways

[Stewart]

Tag (also known as it, had, he, tips, tig, touch, tiggy, tick, dobby, chasing, chasemaster, chasey and other names)

Wiki says Tag, the other names are simply also known as.

Tag wins! \o/

Almost, although 'tag' has precedent outside of this discussion. After all, it's not called 'tig-team', is it?

[Lee H]

Tag here up in Manchester as well.

Never heard it called Tig or dobby either.....

[Agent]

Dobby? What the hell is dobby? Bet it's those daft sods from Dudley having a laugh...

So true
Think we do it just to confuse everyone else

Probably comes from "dobbsey", which means "having that" around here, at a guess

Tag ftw!

In that stakes is Bob the Builder for me. Used to leave dead on 3pm from my lecture to make sure I could power walk (luckily down) penglais hill to watch it.

Major revelation of my second year is that Pilchard was a girl. :O

penglais hill? Were have I heard that before?

[Butcher]

i always wanted to get a picture in the gallery

Me too, pity I'm rubbish at drawing.

The MAHOOSIVE one that makes up most of Aberystwyth?

[Dareos]

Well, i went to school in Cranhill, Glasgow, we didnt have games like tig (yes tig), hide n seek, and the only time we played British Bulldog was with real pit bulls.... it didnt last long.



poor wee dugs


We had games like Brickie (think dodgeball, extreme style) , Boatlie (similar, but with bottles), invisible fitba (was kinda sore on the shins this one), Killer ( like Hide n Seek, but you really really didnt want to be found) and jump the middens (Billy Connolly tells a rather amusing tale about this one where a guy with segs on his boots goes skiting over the top of one sparks flying behind him, but i saw a friend lose his footing and catching his chin on the other side, v.nasty)

I miss school..... honest

That'd be the one; every so often my room mate'd give me a lift up...the knife-edge suspense as his Allegro wheezed up added some much needed excitement - Trusts and Succession really needed you to be revved up if you were going to stay conscious .
