I've had a couple of really near misses with cars on country roads but that's about it I think. Haven't wet myself yet…

Ive had a few hairy car crashes alright,,

Rolled in a van about 4 or 5 complete times coming down from the Hellfire club once years back out of it on acid, only thing i could focus on as we were tumbling was the lit red end of a spliff i was smoking going round & round the inside of the back of the van, came out with a small bruise on my back, smashed head on into a five foot wide tree trunk also another time with no belts on & head first into the windows, straight for pints after that one.

EDIT: Oh yes & i remember hitting 139MPH in my alfa 155 on the M50 one night about 3am, was dead for certain if i had gotten a blow out.

Did you know that for a lot of people public speaking ranks higher than a fear of death? What's that about? Admittedly my midlands accent means that most people can't follow what I'm saying so they can't tell if I'm making a fool of myself but I really never understood that fear at all.

I would imagine it is when the time is actully imminent to have to get up & address people is when they get the shíts, death right now is not in the sphere of your everyday goings on, when death is standing over you however i would imagine you will have similar if not greater anxiety than addressing a crowd & would swap it for that in a heartbeat (if you have any left in that instant that is:D)

Jesus, my only fear bigger than death is NOT ever public speaking again. Love the auld public speaking me. Did the first reading at my holy communion and I've been hooked ever since.

You should really talk to a health and safety officer about the proper way to drive a car.

No, it's the thought of public speaking in the future, not when your about to do it that scares people more.

That's pretty high on my list of fears... would be near or at the top yea.

I'm stupidly fearless in a lot of situations, if there was a physical risk it wouldn't really bother me (got in quite a few scrapes when I was in my late teens not walking away from situations with lads who were a lot bigger than me), but public speaking - yea hate it.

I was best man for my brother last year, dreaded the speech. Was honoured to do it - but hated every second.

My closest near-death experience was when I was 20. Driving up the strawberry beds hill by the angler's rest around 6:30 in the evening. Shelbourne were playing some match in the Uefa cup or something so the whole pub was just infested with done-up micras and scangers in soccer jerseys.
As I pass the pub I notice some fella up the road pulling the bricks off the wall. Before I know what's going on, he's running towards the car and chucks one point-blank at the windscreen at the driver's side. It goes over the car (because of the angle of the hill) and hits the bonnet of the one behind. Then he threw the second one in the back window while chasing me along. If I hadn't dropped gear and put my foot down about a microsecond before he would have got me with this rock of a thing (it's an old stone wall that he pulled them from).

I drove to the top of the hill with my adrenalin at the highest level I think I'll ever experience while he was trying to drag the fella out of the car behind me. He managed to lock the door and follow me up the hill. Rang the guards, and they caught him about 200m away down on the chapelizod side of the hill. They gave me and the other driver an escort down the hill to identify him in the van.

Just a sadistic piece of random violence by a guy who was deliberately out to harm someone seriously.

Don't know for sure what happened after that, but I was told I would only need to show up in court if he pleaded not-guilty. Never heard anything about it since.

Freaky bloody experience though.

Thats nuts. Lesson: always carry a hurl in the car with you. Loads of people do it.

Very diverse lineup, looks good though. Many of you heading over? Think only 2 of us heading to Croatia, but we should meet plenty over there.

Untold will be sweet!

There's two of us heading over. I was there in 2009 so I know the place well. Im thinking of flying into Amsterdam and gettin some supplies then getting the train down + flying home from charleroi.

Im mad to see Ceephax more than anyone! Len Faki is the only techno name there though.... poor stuff!

Anyone know what can cause a false positive test result for heroin? Had to give a P sample and was told today that it tested positive for H which is ludicrous (sp?) to say the least. I know certain codeine based meds can cause false pos but haven't taken anything like that either. Perplexed :eek:

Have had a few bagels for lunch alright but dunno if they had poppy seeds on them. Surely in this day and age they can distinguish between heroin and poppy seeds. I could get into a lot of trouble over this result and am majorly pissed off over it.

EDIT: After googling it and some Indian food (a fav of mine) also have poppy seeds. These combined with bagels may have caused it. But is there a way they can now distinguish between the 2 as I hit the roof when they told me about the result and want sample retested.

Well if you lay off the heroin for a week or two they might be able to differentiate:pac::pac:

Can anyone tell me why a website likke bboards that has been online for over 13 years now & has somewhere near 250,000 users has on the reply window the same smiley twice & doesnt have it as an option to put at the title of a post?

Surley with all the experience & tech knowledge available to them this is & has been a simple oversight for the longest time now.

Lettuce can also contribute. Not a lot of people know this but lettuce contains a little opium. If you've been eating lots of salads then maybe it's gonna show a reading for opiates.

Lettuce? Really? I did not know that. Test was done Monday, had me a thai chicken salad on Sun night so wonder if that could be it. Better let the authorities know and demand a retest, don't like being classified as a junky! Cheers for that old gregg :cool:

no worries mate. some info here: http://www.drugtext.org/library/books/recreationaldrugs/lettuce.htm
and for a little extra reading:

then again if the thai chicken was a junky you'll be in trouble. Some of them thai chicks are up to all sorts of strangeness

I'm just curious SteoL.

Who is testing you for drugs? You don't have to tell us why if you don't want to.
Work? Parents? Law?

No worries. The first one.

I didn't think an employer could do that. Civil rights and all that.

SteoL

Hmmmm......

I think they are allowed if they want to. In some companies I believe it's standard policy for new recruits. Regardless I consented to it as haven't taken narcs in a long long time. The last thing I was expecting was being confronted with a positive result for H. I'm known as being very anti H (and pro other stuff) so this came as a shock. I knew about codeine and false positives but that was it.

could they sack you for testing positive for cannabis?

Yeah I'm sure they can, it's an illegal substance so they'd be well within their rights to. That doesn't seem to be an issue though (even though I'd be regular enough toker).

g5fd6ow0hseima

Im asking this to all posters on here. What would you think of a company which sacked (or even brought disciplinary measures against) an employee for testing positive for cannabis? Let's say the employee is never stoned at work and carries out their job as good as anyone else.

Ghey answer - it depends on the job.

You could ask that a number of ways:

What do you think about a company having any knowledge of what an employee does on their own time?

What do you think about a company sacking someone for something they do on their own time?

What do you think about a company sacking an employee, after gaining knowledge that they are an habitual law breaker?
