I used to sneak out at about 3 or 4 in morning, found out later that they (wasn’t her parents) often heard me. They came back from holidays once in the middle of the night and we thought that the house was being burgled lol.

Me and a couple of mates sneaked into a posh Hogwartsy boarding school during the summer once. Climbed in through a small window and wandered around until we found loads of siiiick posh summer activity equipment like quad bikes, cricket sets and fencing gear. We had a go on the fencing gear for a while before finding a big coffee machine which we tried to use but it was really loud so we ran away. I took a top hat with me. Didn’t get caught!

did you actually get to hob nob with the stars, or was it like in Wayne’s World 2 and full of dweebs while the real celebs honobs in an even more inner sanctum?

Found a pic!

Forgot that I did grab some coffee first.

Yeah no there was probably about 2,000 people in the VIP area. Like the only reason we did it was cos otherwise you’re just ridiculously far back

I’m pretty sure I got back from Amsterdam without having to go through security once…

I am, of course, far too straight to have ever snuck into anything underaged etc.

The only event like that I recall is going to see A Fish Called Wanda with my mum and stepdad at the cinema when I was 13 and it was actually a 15, but obviously no one really cares about this.

However as a kid my best mate and I did a weird period of sneaking around in the gardens behind her house. I guess we were 11ish but honestly not really sure at all. Her flat was at the top of a huge old semi-detached house in Archway with these big gardens behind all the houses


that’s the Google satelite view of the area.

We’d actually sneak out after dark and climb over the fences and go between the gardens. Didn’t really consider how totally dodgy it was until we mentioned it to one of our mum’s and got majorly shut down.

Was fun, though.

Yeah I did that when I was a kid. Pulled a muscle in my back as well, genuinely expected death

My daughter winded herself recently. She was really very scared, I think. (She’s only 4 after all.)

Snuck into an abandoned factory somewhere in Nottingham with friends when I was 13/14. For some reason there were rolls and rolls of brightly coloured stickers everywhere so we ran around trying to stick them on each other while not falling over bits of old stuff. Fun afternoon.

I’ve done that as well (got to France and back to the UK without a passport). Surprisingly easy, this was over 10 years ago though.

The temptation to remove the / from the title is very strong, you know?

love the bit right at the end where garth holds it up in the face of that oblivious dude

Got into a festival near where I grew up (stand on electricity box, elegantly fall over fence) with one of my teenage dogs. We were fine until we went to leave so we could sleep in the nearby barn, some security lads collared us and marched us off the site, insulting us the whole way, then we hitchhiked back to town in the miserable drizzly small hours.

I was with some family going on a ferry in a car. Wasn’t even asked any questions.

^ trying to sneak a non-sneaking anecdote into the sneaking thread!!!

I once managed to pull myself a pint in an empty upstairs function room of a pub. I just wandered in there on my way to the loo, pulled myself a peroni (most ££ beer on tap… it was a fairly shite pub) and left. I didn’t tell any of the group I was with what had happened, just basked in the smug free pint glow.

Now, did you also source a glass from the upstairs function room or had you, inexplicably, taken a glass with you to the toilet?
