#7 playing children

Every Scottish community has it: notorious areas. In some villages it might only be a few houses on a hill nearby, inhabited by connaisseurs of Buckfast, but some of the bigger towns have larger council housing estates that are some of the most gruesome ghettos to be found in the "first" world. Glasgow has quite a few of them and the most notorious one is located towards the east near the Parkhead stadium. Our adventurers encountered a rather fierce group of children who decided to spend their afterschool time.. or wait, it was actually in the morning, who decided to spend the time they were supposed to be in school with some rather different forms of communication: throwing fist sized stones at each other for a laugh. This was no battle or fight in the traditional way. Their happy pale faces showed smiles and there were friendly exchanges of curses. Nevertheless, stones were being thrown, while the young males took up hooligan chants. Yet another great example how children and young adults should not just sit in front of the television, but engage more in physical activities.
