Speaker 2: use suitcases, chairs or anything I could find to stack
Speaker 2: up the other side of the mattresses.
Speaker 1: But a broom.
Speaker 2: It's very inventive. This a broom across them to jump over. Surprisingly,
Speaker 2: I didn't break much doing this, just snapped a few brooms.
Speaker 2: Coming up a little bit short, Steve Butler, what about
Speaker 2: indoor games at work?

Speaker 2: left or right hand. I love one hand in boxes

Speaker 1: What did you do in indoor game when you were younger? Jacks?
Speaker 3: He was always an argument between my mum and my
Speaker 3: dad where the ball games were allowed in the house
Speaker 3: because mum rightly new things got broken with the balls.
Speaker 3: The dad was so keen for us to develop our
Speaker 3: hand eye coordination and our ball handling skills that he
Speaker 3: negotiated that we were allowed to use the soft foody
Speaker 3: inside the house, but the softwood. He was enough still
Speaker 3: to break mum's stained glass ornament that hung in the window,
Speaker 3: the suncatcher.

Speaker 2: all right, nine four one four one o four three.
Speaker 2: We're looking for your stories about the indoor games you
Speaker 2: used to play, Patsy.
Speaker 1: Do you you I must have done indoor games when
Speaker 1: you were a kid.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we played indoor cricket and smashed the two glass
Speaker 4: windows with the cake of soap we used as a ball.
Speaker 4: What you always improvise.
Speaker 3: Why weren't you have a ball as a kid.
Speaker 4: We were, but it was just more fun to have
Speaker 4: a CaCO, So why would you go out the back
Speaker 4: and have a ball.
Speaker 2: And also a lot of violent criminals use soap and
Speaker 2: socks don't need to attack people, So probably starting to
Speaker 2: get the use of using that at an early age.
Speaker 2: And yeah, it around that sting on a leg or
Speaker 2: you know, the stomach training.
Speaker 1: That's the word.
Speaker 2: Greg, Good morning, good eyod morning, Good morning Greg, And
Speaker 2: tell us about indoor game used to play.
Speaker 5: Full contact AFL indoor SoC football.
Speaker 2: The future of the sport. Forget about Vegas, it's here
Speaker 2: indoor socks.
Speaker 1: So break it down for us. What would happen?
Speaker 5: Oh, well, a ball wouldn't last too long and we
Speaker 5: had donted chew it, so we invented, well, a pair
Speaker 5: of socks. Any socks would do, but generally the light
Speaker 5: of the better. And then because you kick it quite often,
Speaker 5: it'd fall apart. So we'd put a couple of rubber
Speaker 5: bands around it to keep it together. We'd cross section
Speaker 5: the rubber bands and we'd get in the back indoor
Speaker 5: porch and we'd have a door at each g and
Speaker 5: then We used to play a full match, throw the
Speaker 5: ball in the air and rack it to each other,
Speaker 5: and yeah, it was pretty full on.
Speaker 3: How many people?
Speaker 1: Yeah, who's playing this? How many? How many?
Speaker 5: In a side that was only two of us. It
Speaker 5: was me and the older brother. He was five years older.
Speaker 5: So who's throwing up the Well, we both did it
Speaker 5: and it was obviously favored to whoever threw it up.
Speaker 2: Strange concept and also not just this full games.
Speaker 1: That's a long.
Speaker 3: Time and you what do you what surface are you
Speaker 3: tackling on to?
Speaker 5: No, it was concrete and there was a concrete steps
Speaker 5: coming down one end, so you had to be very careful.
Speaker 5: There was a few few cuts and a few of braces.
Speaker 5: It's a lot of.
Speaker 3: Games, especially because you know who's going to have the ball.
Speaker 5: Had an indoor plane there. I think it was called
Speaker 5: els and isn't it. It was a cycle one. It
Speaker 5: took years to grow and they had long dangling branches
Speaker 5: and of course that got knocked around all the time.
