This is a question Siblings

Brothers and sisters - can't live with 'em, can't stove 'em to death with the coal scuttle and bury 'em behind the local industrial estate. Tell us about yours.

Thanks to suboftheday for the suggestion -we're keeping the question open for another week for the New Year

Never Mind the Bollocks
I have an older sister and although we're both older and wiser now (I'm 28 she's 34) we used to be the bane of each others' lives when we lived at mum and dads.

To be fair I wasn't exactly an angelic little brother, in fact most of the things she did to me were in retaliation to somthing horrid I had done to hear earlier on. The balance has to be restored, ying yang etc.

When I saw this QOTW I thought of some of the things I did to her, usually just petty little brother practical jokes etc but the one that sticks in my mind is the "Never Mind The Bollocks" incident.

When I was about 8 and my sister 14, she was entrusted by mum to create a mix tape of 50s and 60s hits for somebody. You know Buddy Holly, Shadows, Searchers, Elvis etc. My sister had gone round the house finding old tapes with these songs on and dutifully set about recording them onto one tape. (this was 1988 so a hi-fi with 2 tape decks was considered a luxury in them days)

Noticing my sister had left her room to go out for a while, I crept into her room to see what mischief I could get up to. I noticed that the hi fi was playing some god awful track (probably Peggy Sue or something) so I stopped the tape and replaced it with the first one I could find in her collection - which turned out to be Never Mind The Bollocks by the Sex Pistols. Pleased with my fiendish behaviour, I left her room and promptly forgot all about it.

Now fast forward to 2003. I am 23 years old, my sisters 29 and has just got married, finished Uni, had a child with another on the way etc. I was happily discussing days gone by with her when suddenly I remembered that incident about the mixtape and confessed my part.

"THAT WAS YOU?!?!?!?!?!??" She cried to my suprise!

Turned out that my sister had returned ti the house and finished the mix tape completely unawares of my involvement and had given it to my mum who had put it on in the car, and was happily enjoying her pap when suddenly Johnny Rotten screamed through the speaker - causing her to almost run a red light (or some other dangerous motiring incident) and had gone home and flayed my sister alive for the crime; despite her protests of innocence.

Sorry sis!
