microdave Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 My sister's pal believed you had to hold your breath going through the Clyde Tunnel due to a lack of air pressure. That's what her dad told her. I discovered this fact driving them through the tunnel when she was in fact 16. I still do that. I've always been aware that I don't have to but it's just something I've always done. Apart from the time I was behind a slow moving hearse. If I'd done it then, I'd probably have been in need of it by the time I got to the other side! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saintee Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 If you didn't breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth all the time that you only used half of your lungs. The half that you weren't using would shrivel up and die. I was told this by my primary 3 teacher and was absolutely terrified. My old man was raging when he found out as I was a total mess at bedtime for weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I'm pretty sure I believed this one till early into adulthood, but when listening to the news or watching Crimewatch... they would say "A 38 year old man is helping police with their enquiries", and I always thought it meant some public-spirited chap had wandered in off the street and volunteered his services to help crack the crime.

Gnash Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Everyone lived to their 100th birthday and then they died. Every time you did a fake / forced burp your liver would bleed. (my friend's mum sold me that lie) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 If ylu crossed your eyes and the wind changed they would stay like that. If you said "Green Lady (5 times) I do not believe in you" in the toilets at primary she would appear. Never had the balls to do it alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It got to a point where we were convinced we could see them sitting at their van on the Larkhall viaduct and the jannie carried a large chain in case they came to the school.

Flybhoy Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I genuinely thought those 'mince pies' people have at Christmas had actual mince in them. I didnt actually know till I was in my 30's they really contained pureed black fruits and raisins etc in a sickly dark sauce, tried one and it was seriously fucking rank so I hadnt really missed out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottmcleanscontacts Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 The world used to be in black and white (obviously basing this on old films and newsreels) When someone was killed in a film, they died in real life When you bought a new house and moved, the people whose house you moved into always moved into your old house Snap on the Film and World in Black in White Fronts.

D.A.F.C Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 When we were in first year, a guy in the year above told us at the end of first year all the guys were given a homosexuality test by the school nurse. First we would be shown scud, if we didn't get wood, we were to have a cold spoon held against the shaft, if we still didn't get wood, we were to have our shafts jabbed with a sharp pin, if we still didn't get wood, we were gay. We believed him! He sounds like the gay one tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black and White Tragic Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 That "several" meant seven of something. If someone listed several options and there weren't seven, I would put it down to them not being able to count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I thought the words to the Christmas carol Away in a Manger were a Wean in a Manger.

milton75 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 When I was in Primary 6 we believed that gay men rubbed their cock together to have sex. We also believed "come" was green and came out a woman's fanny. This belief was reinforced by the fact that a boy called Stuart used to make pretend vaginas by stuffing moss into holes in the playground wall. We would then take turns in sticking our fingers in the hole to feel what the wall's fanny was like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the Jannie inspect your willie and bum if he was in the lavvies? I doubted this procedure, but he was a stickler for the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
