A few years ago, I got stuck in London over night. It was pretty scary! While I was wandering around, I got stopped by a small group of Asian people (Still no idea what part). They didn't speak much English, looked like they were back packing or something, and tried asking me where some place was. I had no idea, didn't live in London. Long story short, we all ended up hanging out at an Asian pub we managed to find for the night. I looked like the odd one out, and I didn't really understand most of what they were saying, but it was the most fun I've had.

Got in a shouting match with an Italian family over them wrongly accusing us of taking their train carriage when inter railing a few years ago. When the dust had settled and security had escorted them to their actual seats, we were left sitting there with a generic small, old Italian man. There was quite the language barrier until he, in an effort to make sense of the ordeal, pipes out all animated "CONFUSION" in the most Italian-speaking-english way imaginable. Madness!

I went to the shop for a loaf one Monday morning and ended up in Lisbon watching the Sporting/Benfica derby that evening.

Waking up in Liverpool docks, sleeping in the back of a van on a cast iron radiator with some styrofoam over it. And not being entirely sure how I got there. Luckily, no-one had carved "Thief" into my forehead and I wasn't emaciated.

London about 20 years ago. About 10 of us were out one Saturday night on our way to a late night drinking club. This woman invited us into a restaurant for free drink. Turns out she was a waitress there and the owner was also her boyfriend. He'd been cheating on her and she wanted her revenge.

An hour later we were in great form knocking back whatever we could. The owner turned up, shouting and screaming at us to get out, he also starting hitting the waitress. He left so we continued drinking.

About an hour later he came back - with a load of friends/cousins - they were Turkish. A big argument follows, the waitress screaming at the owner, all the cousins shouting at us. Someone called the police.

A few minutes later about 10 policemen turn up. An even bigger row breaks out with the waitress still screaming at the owner, the owner shouting at the police about us stealing his beer. The cousins are going mental. We just continued drinking.

Eventually we agreed to leave, jumped in a couple of cabs and went home. Woke up the next morning and we were all WTF! Did last night really happen?

I love a mad night out on the lash!

Went camping as a young chap in Tramore one August weekend or so, all the campsites were booked out. We set up camp at the far end of a car park, just over a mound being blocked from the car park if you get me. Bit of linden village drinking that night, woke up in the morning and went to take a piss, zip down doing the deed, when next thing I look over the mound and there was a f...ing Lion running at me. I just froze Looking at it coming toward me,(Go Tobann) next thing it stopped, well it got yanked back, it was on a chain.

Frigging circus had arrived the night before and set up shop in the Car park...

Another taking a wee story, while in Australia, myself and an ex fiance were relocating campervans across Australia. Pulled in to a free campsite in the middle of nowhere, between Darwin and Broome. Jumped out to take a wizz, doing the deed, when, next thing the light in the campervan goes on behind me and I can hear your one telling me not to move. I turned around and the Light from the campervan door was shining to ward me and lo and behold there were literally hundreds of snakes all over the car park, between me and the camper. I tiptoed through this mass of snakes got in to the camper and that night if we needed to go we just pee'd out the door.
