Down the line, he'll flash back to the mooning he was put in the hole.
An us here laughing about it.
I remember when I was 20 I did something similar in the Costa Del Sol outside a pizzeria where a lot of people were giving out about us kicking a ball around. I was totally bulletproof after a lot of San Miguel and mooned in the window before going upstairs to bed.
Around three hours later, armed police burst into the apartment, cuffed me, and hauled my ass down to the local nick. Just as I was about to be dumped in a huge cell with a lot of 'Bubba' type gentlemen, they saw that I was Irish, not English as originally thought, and let me go with a €30 fine...
Moral is; Don't moon in Malaga if you're British...;)
:) Wouldn't you be fun to play dares with!!
Scene; a moon-lit beach in the south of Spain. A wonderful air of inebriety enshrouds the three youthful Irishmen and their new best friends, four local femmes fatales. A game of dares is suggested
Kingdom Hoop; Osarusan, I dare you to spark this joint.
Osarusan(slightly distressed); Er, yeah, I don't know, just give me a few minutes while I consult my internet-ready phone to determine the social fallout that might ensue as a result. I mean, is it ok to do this? What if the authorities see me and it's strongly against local custom? Did you think about that before asking me? This doesn't feel right.
Others(in chorus); Shut up and do it!
Osarusan(sheepishly); Oh ok then. What's the worst that could happen...
------------
Moral; its hard, despite best instincts, to say no to a dare given group pressures. (especially if members of the opposite sex are present!)
Yeah, fourteen inches. :)
Admittedly I haven't been involved in dares for a few years now but I would still venture (as confidently as I can after that affront on my maturity!!) that peer pressure is, at least on a subconscious level, the prominent force in the game and not the relative desirability of the given task, up to a certain point of course. I would see mooning as being in and around the threshold where you feel you can placate the mob and at the same time your right/wrong beacon isn't, ahem, flashing alarmingly. (apologies if that sounds like fourteen year old logic:))
Apparently he's back home.
Due in court today in Senegal too...obviously used his 'unconditional' bail to skip town. I'd be very surprised if there's any calls for his extradition.
It might be trivial to you but in a Muslim country it is anything but trivial, as has been pointed out here previously. You may remember the Leeds United fans episode in Istanbul a few years ago which resulted in a fatality. That incident was sparked by a mooning incident in a bar in a Muslim country.
Agree it is not nice to see anyone rotting away overseas (or at home either!) but it was as a result of his own stupid behaviour. I hope he has learned his lesson, harsh as it may seem.
Touché Osarusan:)
But the context of my faux pas was that it was of my own volition, an independent choice to follow my heart. You, on the other hand, meekly bowed to the demands of the intimidating group, succumbing to the mental strain of a game of dares! You just got lucky that the police were just polishing off their doughnuts as you sparked the joint. Prison isn't too bad though, the internet is keeping my sane.
*As it happens, I think I'd have made up a great excuse on the spot for the police, it's one of my few talents. My favourite recent example was when a guard pulled my friend over for erratic driving. He looked into the back seat and spotted I wasn't wearing a seatbelt. I quickly snapped that there is no point having a seatbelt on when the car is stopped!;)
Does this story remind anyone else of the Simpsons episodewhen Bart is wanted In Australia for reverse-charging a long distance phone call?
It didn't but it does now. Good work shedite.
It was only a bit of craic.
Pardon the pun.
You have not been pardoned. Your punishment, pending a full hearing, is that you, and you alone, must hold the fort for our side on the Darron Gibson front in what is a perverse and culturally disparate area.
Be warned, this is unfamiliar territory for you, don't think you understand the way they think, do your research and you'll discover that things you say or do which you may consider reasonable will be received with hostility, and, in particular, do not under any circumstances reveal your backside to them as this will cause great offence and may well result in serious repercussions. Sentence passed.
The Yanks - especially their women - are the worst for randomly stripping off whilst under the influence. Even at places like DisneyWorld they keep jumping in the fountains half-cut and half naked.
Mooning is treating seriously in European countries like Greece (when they can be bothered to deal with the ****s doing in)
