The best fun thing you ever did?

Andrewf20

For me it was Nemesis in Alton towers a few years ago. Next up, it was surfing (or at least when I could stand up on the board). Another high scorer is hoofing down the trails in Howth on the Mountain bike.

I would love to hear what other good stuff folks have done. I need ideas!

Going to a site with listings for casual sex, arrange to meet someone, get free drink and **** off somewhere else. Always ask for bottles and open them yourself

Come on there are a few better rides in that park alone!
Air, Rita Queen of Speed and Oblivion. :-)

if you liked nemesis you would love cedar point in ohio, islands of adventure in orlando and busch gardens in tampa, some worldclass rides in them, havent been to cedar but its has been voted best park in the world for the last few years. The rides on top of the stratosphere tower in las vegas (1000ft in the air) also kick ass, insanity and x-scream cannot be described in words.

hiking down the grand canyon is an out of this world experience, maid of the mist at niagara is pretty cool, i have done a version of white water rafting too and that was great

Coolest thing I done was when I won a competition to see a quarter final match(Germany V Argentina) in the World Cup back in 06

Twas deadly, I was right behind the goal for penalties and everything!

I was within 40 miles of Cedar Point last year. I reckon those big rides like Millenium Force would actually scare the crap out of me. Its the big steep drops that kill me. Although I reckon I could hack this at most: http://www.flickr.com/photos/uknemesis/194938381/

We did a bit of a hike on the Kaibab trail in the Grand Canyon. It sure was fab, but I wouldnt describe it as laugh out loud fun. Pretty breathtaking nonetheless.

Rita queen of speed wasnt built when I was in Alton Towers (2002). Oblivion looked waay too scary, so i gave that a miss. Air didnt deliver the same level of thrills as Nemesis imho.

I was in the tower in Vegas myself. I decided not to do the vertical blast off ride after nearly dying of fear on a similar ride in Southport, England.

I did skiing on Mt Hood a few year back. I had to learn quickly (no formal lessons). How I came off the mountain without broken limbs, ill never know. Very hard work, and I reckon I would have enjoyed it more if i got proper lessons.

Time to stock up on some brave pills.

Camping on a beach in Donegal and surfing the next day, smoking a little , drinking, blazing heat was best weekend of my life..

jcrowbar

Taking the Green Tortoise tour bus to Yosemite National Park in California about two years ago.

Either that or winning $100 in hooters casino in vegas. Free money, free booze and hot chicks FTW

Alton Towers also loved Oblivion thought it was better than Nemesis. Six Flags in Holland is also great brilliant rollers also. Getting married was a fun thing to do - watch all our family squabbles boil over

The Batman and Robin rollercoaster in Six Flags is awesome...

Road trip with mates in an old bus.

As to amusements: Spiderman ride in Orlando.

Gone West

Surfing my favorite left hander in sligo at twice overhead, getting consistently barreled, trying not to look at the boulder sitting in front of the wave and trying to stay out of its way!

not sure if it's the most fun i've ever had but me and a mate of mine dug a huge hole on Delray beach in Florida with our bare ands and a frisbie. People stood around in admiration, i got a high 5 off a kid followed by "AWwesome hole DUDE!". We where kings....

but then the lifeguard told us that it was too dangerous and he made us fill it in.

Did something similar when I was younger - came from a family of 6 kids so we all hit it with a vengeance. There's something admirable about digging a huge fcuk-off hole - remember we had a small crowd of Frenchies observing when we were done!

Lets get as many people off boards as possible to meet a DollyMount on Sunday to dig a monster hole.

But bring your anti-used-heroin-needles suits to avoid contracting anything....and a digging implement of your choice.

Back in the 80ies myself and a mate used to go around south Dublin setting off a hand cranked Secomac WW2 air raid siren, It would draw crouds of old geezers on to the streets thinking the Germans were invading.

KBarry

Snorkelling in the Red Sea over a coral reef surrounded by hundreds of colourful fish was very cool. I'm not even a good or keen swimmer but I stayed out there all day.

Naos

Surfing in Hawaii (I will be returning some day).

I thought water-skiing would be fun but it's not. It hurts. Especially on your face.

Agree. Unless there is a considerable element of danger, its just not fun enough.
No matter how scary a rollercoaster seems, going on one is safer than crossing the street.

Blisterman

Riding the world's biggest zip line in South Africa.

One narrow rope, stretched between two poles 2km apart, one on top of a mountain, the other on the ground. 300m between you and the ground at one point. Travelling at 80mph.
Amazing.

kraggy

Swimming with alligators in Bolivia.

Not holding onto them (obviously!) but in the same water as them with their eyes looking at us on the water.

They were only about 5 mts away but we were surrounded by pink dolphins so the alligators wouldn't come any closer.

Did a skydive too but that was a different type of buzz.

The alligator thing really felt like living on the edge.

Korvanica

Weekend party in Wexford with 15 mates. Drunk for two days straight, smoked a little too, also invented ShovelBinBoogieBall (greatest sport ever) one of the days.

Busch Gardens in Florida was intense!

Pink Dolphins saved you from alligators ?! I don't get what you mean.

you obviously need the extra buzz but some people wouldn't agree, considerable danger doesn't always equal fun to most people, if i felt in considerable danger i don't think i would be feeling that good about things, certainly not at that moment

my mate has skydived and bungee jumped and he thought sheikra in busch gardens, duelling dragons in orlando and insanity in las vegas were amazing fun, in fact he rode insanity and the other rides in vegas a few times he loved them so much. hanging off a building with nothing below only 1000ft of air to the ground is still fun even with no element of danger, at the back of your mind when the arm first moves you 60ft from the tower a little something in the back of your mind says "what if that arm snaps, its then about 5 seconds to the ground and splat :eek:"

a theme park ride doesn't have to be a huge rollercoaster or similiar to be fun, some of the best rides i have ever ridden are non-coasters like Dudley Do -Right's Ripsaw Falls and Popeye and Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges both in islands of adventure and the amazing Valhalla in blackpool pleasure beach

Larianne

Best fun thing I've done so far in my life is a 3 days tour of outback Australia taking in Ayers Rock, the Olgas and King's Canyon. It was the cheapest tour around, the bus broke down the first day (but she got going again), there were millions of flies about and I MEAN millions, (Thank god for the snazzy fly nets!), slept outside in swags, where we got rained on the first night (who'd have thought at Ayers Rock, rain!?!) and the food was **** but the people I met were just fab and I never stopped laughing.

ah it was gas.

I can't say too much about this, because she still lives in Dublin, and I'm assuming she's still married, so you understand for many reasons I'll have to be as discreet as I can telling you this. Anyway it was a good while back now, 1990. I was 23, but I always had a thing for older women back then. She was in her mid 40's, and she looked after herself, she was very pretty.

I worked in the service industry (don't laugh ye bastards , I can't even tell you doing what exactly, without giving too much away here), but in the course of my work, I did a lot of routine maintainance work for many Landlords. Other than the house I had my flat in, my landlady and her husband owned a few other properties.

I got on very well with her and I was single, and tbh I always got the feeling she was gamey, so I started testing the water by very subtly flirting with her. I never got a negative response, and the crunch finally came when I met her one night, completely by chance, in a Leeson Street nightclub. We were both pretty drunk, so after chatting and drinking with her for about an hour, I just took a chance, and went in for the kill.

In the heel of the hunt, she ended up coming back to my flat, and she absolutely rode the bejeasus bollox off me

It just progressed from there, and I know this is gonna sound really 'pervy' but there was honestly something kinda 'kinki' about it, in the sense that she used to come around every week for her 'rent' so to speak, and I could never get that idea out of my head

It was a nice feeling hearing her going in and out of other flats, collecting the cash from other tenants, and then knocking on my door for a bit of the auld 'how's yer father?' It wasn't a continuous arrangement tbh, I missed a few weeks rent, and she never pressured me for it, that's all.
It only lasted a little over 3 months, and finished amicabally, and sensibly.

god I miss my twenties

I did a few parachute jumps as well. I'd recommend giving that a try, it's fckn brilliant !!

fec k the parachute jumps. Jumping the landlady for rent is the best. If you work in an office I'd say you'd do the cleaner?

The pink dolphins didn't save us. We jumped into the water knowing it was infested with alligators.

There's a part of this river in northern Bolivia where you get in the water and the pink dolphins circle you and keep alligators away. Just a few metres away but far away enough for safety. But it's still a rush cause there's no guarantees they'll stay away from you.

Petrifying but amazing.

If they'd maimed you it would have felt like living with a disability. Why would anyone take such a risk?
