When I tried to understand how aeroplanes worked, I believed in the conveyor belt theory for a long time.

As a child I also belived in geocentrism. It makes sense to the unbroadened mind of a 7 year old.
 
I thought that there were little people inside the radio and TV.

This. A million times this. :dopey:

Also, I used to believe that Sonic got his powers from his trainers and therefore spent 2 years of my life hunting for his trainers in shopping centers. :lol: Of course, this didn't stop me doing what the family remind me of EVERY Christmas. When I used to go walks, I used to pretend I was in Sonic The Hedgehog and run around collecting "invisible rings" and getting hit by "invisible badniks". Also, every time I reached a Sewer entry tile on the ground, that was a checkpoint...except for the yellow ones, they were spikes. :lol: :lol: :lol:
















I still do this.
 
Santa.
Easter Bunny.
Tooth Fairy.
That the Moon was made of cheese.
That Crocodiles were endemic to the UK.
That planes with vapour trails were 'cloud makers'.
That when you eat the food fills your body up. Guess I never noticed the connection between ingestion and defecation!
That the stuff under the screen in a photocopier were model trains.

What do you mean Santa is not real? :scared:

Don't worry, just kidding. :lol:
 
When I was a kid I was stupid enough to think that zombies were make-believe!

I also put a potato in a plant pot not much bigger than the spud, thinking in a weeks time I'd have 5 potatoes.

Picking my nose would make my eyes fall out, and mastur....you know what....would make me go blind, as most young boys are told.

I used to think, as a child of 12ish, that IE was the only way of getting online and no other browsers existed.
 
The most memorable being that I believed sexual intercourse was a man choosing a woman, taking her back to his house and urinating in her mouth. Then a baby happens.

I though that was only Germany.

I believed that £100 could buy a house*.
I believed that Mike Yarwood was funny.
I believed that my first wife would be a member of Legs 'n' Co.
I believed that Sally Field was the sexiest woman on the planet.
I believed that Todd Carty really was Tucker Jenkins.

*Insert Liverpool joke here for Neal.
 
I believed that Bill and Ben The Flower Pot Men lived in the woods behind my dads factory...upon starting school I discovered my dad is a lier.
 
:lol: 👍 I had a similar belief that the teletubbies lived in a far away land.

Turns out it was Bill and Ben the Crack Dealing Men. :sly:
 
My nephew is Liverpudlian and his dad is teaching him how to joyride with GT5 :D

Well played axle. I'd like to see the SD1s back on the street.

Vauxhall Astra patrol cars don't carry as much swag as the big Rover.
 
I used to believe that if you peeled an orange and listened really carefully you could hear the orange screaming.
 
:lol: Who knew you could speak scouse!

I'm from Flintshire, so there's plenty of influence, plastic scouse or the real deal.

This is very amusing.
