Put the clock back instead of forward #SuperMassiveHardcore
Nah, for me it's probably a pissed up injury or "fun" thing from a good number of years ago.
Maybe walking through a low granite hedge, pissed up aimlessly following the light from a boat like some horny moth, instead of following the path. Good scar straddling the shin there!
Others include challenging another friend (now sadly departed) to collect and eat as many sandhoppers as we could. The winner being the one who ate the most. To be fair, if it weren't for the grit passing through them, they were quite tasty
again, pissed. Impressionable youth maybe but we were only trying to impress ourselves, too wangeyed to even care what anyone thought.
One other one was another moment of genius, we'd been given a couple of just caught mackerel but had no knife to head, tail and gut them...this pioneer of serration decided to go all "Festival of the Slaughtered Fish" and threw it back to the stage of man pre-flint. I simply without much thought, bit the heads and tails off, then promptly pulled the guts out in some kind of sacrificial rite of passage and popped them on the fire. I can't remember if any tourists were about but no doubt if they had, it may have reminded them of some kind of scene from The Beach. I know there is a photograph somewhere but I've never seen it.
There's bound to be be more, there's one that includes a piece of camping gas canister nearly taking my eye out and a lump of blunted angle iron up through the sole of my foot but those weren't actually done via stupid/inebriated decisions.
I know a lad who went "Quay Jumping" after getting totally wankered - the only trouble was, it was on a full moon and if you know much about tides and moons...well, let's just say I haven't a fucking clue how he survived a dry and very rocky harbour. Best part of it was, he worked for the local boating company. Nearly a Darwin Award being delivered to his parents there!
I'll leave this to someone else now but nice thread FH, not sure how much you know about this one but all good all the same
