I once punched my mate in the b0llocks whilst he was doing 70mph down the M40. I thought it was hilarious and was very proud of my aim with my left fist.
Somehow he managed to keep control of the cat. Even more amazingly he is still my best mate. Sorry Paul.
It was decades before I stopped laughing and realised what a tw@t I was/am.
A part of me still chuckles though. I’m drinking tonight. |  | | |  |

Said “yes” when my then girlfriend asked “does my bum look big in this”
edit: would like to add that actually it didn't (she was quite petite) and I was just joking. Two mistakes in one fell swoop.
I'm surprised I'm still alive.

At the age of 16 gave a load of abuse to a bloke in a pub whilst I was pissed, someone had a word in my ear to leave via the staff entrance behind the bar, a couple of weeks later the same fella was arrested and consequently gaoled for stabbing someone in the neck and killing them! |  |

When he worked at broadmoor I was working at Frimley, I would regularly drive past him jogging down the nine mile ride when he was training for the London Marathon, if I knew now what he was up to I would have happily mowed him down. | |

I did that to my wife many years ago. We laughed at the time.
She still divorced me in the end, though! |  |

When I was in my early teens I was in the Thames estuary with an air-pistol, the pump up kind. One or two pumps would make the pellet go a reasonable distance but about a dozen pumps would make it go a loooooong way. Great fun when the tide was out, no one for miles and lots of wet sand to shoot into.
So after a few goes I checked it wasn't loaded and duly pumped it up as hard as I could, the last few pumps I had to have it pointed towards me to get the leverage..... *BANG*
I caught the trigger and it turns out it was loaded and the pellet caught me on the edge of the nose as it went off into the distance probably a 1/4 of a mile behind me.
Just a few degrees pointed slightly closer to my face and I reckon I'd be dead. | | | |

I used to go out on the lash at Backpackers in King's Cross as you had a reasonable chance of trapping if your/her standards were negotiable. Great setup if you got there before 7pm as you paid a fiver in and as long as you held onto the glass they gave you pints were free. The problem with this was decisions like the following seemed reasonable:
- sleeping in a doorway in Camden Town and getting dipped
- climbing a 5 storey scaffold to sleep on a roof in Camden Town to avoid getting dipped (I tied my belt to a scaffold pole otherwise I'd have rolled off)
- nicking a rowing boat on the Grand Union canal to row back to Ladbroke Grove in style and avoid either of the above. I'm no James Cracknell and just about managed Regents Park before capsizing and going down with all hands. A barge owner heard the drama and hooked me out with a barge pole otherwise I'd have drowned for sure. I'm still amazed the sheer amount of rat pìss in there didn't kill me (probably neutralised by the Backpacker beer). [Post edited 16 Nov 2021 8:53]

When I was 9 or 10 I would spend summer holidays at my aunt's in white city, me and the Neighbor Vince would be out playing all day and my uncle would get fed up going to the phone to open the main door to buzz us back in again.
so we would open the bin shoot climb onto the roof then just climb the railings back onto the estate, we would then dare each other to go the the 2nd 3rd and 4th floor to climb around the railings.
Now when I go there I always think if had slipped id have been in real trouble and secondly Id get nervous just climbing onto the roof now 😂. [Post edited 16 Nov 2021 10:10]

I was working on the sites over in East London back in the 90's and part of my job was measuring up the work for each gang and calculating and giving them their pay. Every Thursday there were arguments. Screaming and shouting, posturing and shaping. Boring stuff. Most of them were just chancing their arm to see if you'd get scared and pay them more. I always paid them fair.
One gang of East London lads always gave me the most grief and they were kind of boring me.
One particular Thursday their main man was doing his usual raging and raring act and I was doing my usual 'bored senseless' act.
"I've got a shotgun in the car"
"If you had a shotgun you'd have brought it in."
He brought it in and stuck it in my face. I'd guessed wrong.
"I'm going to shoot you"
"If you were going to shoot me you'd load it"
He showed me that it was loaded and stuck it back in my face. I'd guessed wrong.
"I'm going to shoot you"
"If you were going to shoot me, you'd have done it by now"
He didn't shoot me. I'd guessed right.
It was a couple of grand. Of someone else's money.
I was a fool. [Post edited 16 Nov 2021 10:08]

Jesus, you have some pair on you Brian. The minute he walked in with said firearm I would have given him what he wanted and then called the old bill after he had gone.
In a more mundane but potentially life ending incident I was on the annual summer visit to the costa del Cork and was invited along with the outlaws and cousins to a Quad Bike farm somewhere down near Castlemartyr, outside Midleton.
Never been on a quad before and it was all going swimmingly until about 30 mins in and I went swimming! We were biking along the top of a steep bank over a shallow river flowing through the venue. Whoever was in front of me braked really sharpish and I reacted by turning hard right but hit the throttle instead of the brake. The bike shot forward and the front wheel hit a tree stump hidden by long grass and threw me straight down and I tumbled down head over arse until I hit the river head first. Fortunately after my being thrown off, the bike rotated coming down the bank and it got caught up in another clump of trees and didn't come the rest of the way down and on top of me whilst I was under the water.
Once the group saw that I was able to stand up and that the bike was still on the bank they all p'ssed themselves especially with the sight of all the water pouring down from underneath the helmet and visor over my face. I had a very soggy ride back to base and a few cuts and bruises and an ever bigger bruised ego - thinking back it was genuinely a very lucky escape and I have not ventured near one since.
Every couple of years when in Cork if ever quad bikes comes up in an unrelated general conversation everyone immediately turns and points at me and starts laughing - something I will clearly never live down but live to repeat the tale. |  |

I agreed to go on a mountain walking trip with my Austrian friend, who is a very seasoned hiker and climber. What was I thinking? 
The first day, up to the hut where we stayed overnight, was fine, it was just a strenuous but manageable hike. I noticed that the team had packed ice axes and ropes but it was summer, the summit was in sight, and the rest of the ascent looked steep but not too daunting.
The next day, the walking got steeper but we were ascending a fairly broad slope and were rarely close to any precipitous drops. We reached the lower peak, with the main peak looming over us and looking nice and close. Surely the last section would be pretty straightforward?
Wrong!  It was at that point that our route dropped down a crack in the rockface, inched along a snow covered, north-facing ledge about ten inches wide, then ascended another crack to take us onto the final ascent. Ropes were unpacked and soon six of us were roped up and proceeding one by one. It had suddenly all become pretty hardcore!  I had done loads of hiking in the past, including one walk in the French Alps, but this was proper mountaineering. I gritted my teeth and managed to stay focused, more worried about the bloke descending after me falling than me falling myself. He was a burly, experienced mountaineer who had climbed Mont Blanc (scary stuff, you usually start at 1am and use headtorches) but more to the point, he was about twice my weight. If he fell, he would've ripped me off the rockface like an Elastoplast. OK, so a person with his skill and knowledge shouldn't make a mistake, but even so...
That was one hell of a trip, exhilarating and terrifying in equal measure. |  |
