Tried to force a two prong plug into a three-pronged socket, almost amputating my hand in the process. :o

- Thought I could put a new sink in my upstairs bathroom in my old house, didnt turn off the water at the main shut off valve, I busted the pipes and ended up having a nice flood down through the ceiling on the downstairs floor.
- Agreed to play my one and only game of rugby over here in the US about 10 years ago, my roomate played and they needed an extra player, I played on the wing but the other team hoisted a garryown in my direction. Sure enough I caught the ball but was immediately trampled upon by 3 linebacker types and ended up in hospital with a concussion.
- Went to Jamaica for our honeymoon, arrived early morning, went down to the pool and put the factor 45 sunblock on, jumped in the pool and had a great time. Later that night I was suffering from the worst sunburn to ever occur, with blisters the size of Leitrim on my shoulders and forehead. Could barely move my arms it was so painful. I missed the part on the label of the sunblock bottle about letting it try before going into water.
working in a pub took a car with no papers for it, drove it up to manchester,hot wired wit a screwdriver. ran out of petrol up around wolves. cops drove by, the most stupid and dangerous thing i have ever done and could have made me potentially unemployable. :o :o :eek: :rolleyes:
Breaking into a golf course in Wales and stealing a golf cart whilst absolutely ****ed off my tits, being subsequently chased by security and jumping a wall which had a large oul drop on the far side and totally messing up my right ankle!
Once laughing at a guy who got hit by the matchball at a Bohs match without realising how big he was!
TO fekin right !! Saw one bloke mount the central reservation to turn around on the moterway!! Everytime it raineed (and it rained!!) there were about 10 car crashes no exageration!Quote:

In mitigation, this was nearly fifteen years ago and I have grown up since then. Yeah, right... :rolleyes: :D
:ball: PP
Walking from Hanlons Corner, NCR to the Quays in Dublin after 23.00 in 1998
Some junkies decided they should take my possessions by means of force.
Watching Baddiel and Skinner last night reminded me of another one; Mistaking a lady friend, who I hadn't seen for a few months, for being pregnent, when in actual fact, she'd only put on a few pounds :o :o
That was both stupid and dangerous, woman scourned and all that!
'Mistaking a lady friend, who I hadn't seen for a few months, for being pregnent, when in actual fact, she'd only put on a few pounds'
Haha love it :D .
Too many to mention - and most couldnt be put on here or I'd be arrested for many unsolved crimes ;)
Though as with Plastic Paddy, I've grown up since :cool:
makes a change from the snakebite i usually keep for emergencies i suppose..Quote:

Oh dear - I've a few of these from my more reckless youth, but the Top 2 would have to be :
1) Trying to run through a helicopter-speed revolving door whilst ****ed on holiday (a game I created called 'Run the Gauntlet'). Successfully managed to break my arm in 2 places, and required stitches to my head. One second earlier on impact and my neck would've got through the gap and been broken. Genuinely that close to death/paralysis....
2) Sleeping out overnight in the middle of Darndale in the late 1980's.
Myself and a group of friends were automatically on the guest list for any An Emotional Fish gigs around the country at that time. We were hoping to stay with a girl we knew in Harold's Cross who was a student. However, her Step-dad turned-up to stay before us, so no room at the inn. We then decided we'd just arse around for the night - so we WALKED all the way from HC to Darndale, before parking ourselves outside Darndale Community Centre for the night. Not a thing happened to us, though we did get plenty of odd looks (we were later told that people just assumed we'd been bucked out of our homes). We did acquire instant fame round Darndale-way the next day, were offered accommodation by about 50 different people (ended-up staying with Gerry Fish's mother in the area) and got mentioned in an article in NME about the band a week later... :D
We also slept out one night in Blackstaff Square in Belfast, and got questioned by the cops, as a protestant area nearby had been stoned that night :eek:
Oh - and we (it was always the same group of us...) kipped out in the doorway of that pub opposite Christchurch one night as well (think it's called The Ship..).
Ahhh - the joys of being very young, having no money and not a fear in the world..... :eek:
Reminds me of a very funny story of a lad I know in Liverpool.Quote:

Friends of ours contacted The Sun about it, who ran the story and paid £200 for the pleasure. It then got picked-up by Chrtis Evans, and they had him on TGI Friday one evening to recount the tale ! Classic...
Will see if I can find the article on the Sun website....
Oh please do, thats a class story!!!Quote:
