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.

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.

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

KBarry · 20-06-2008 01:52PM

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.

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.

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.

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.

That was brilliant. Queued up to go on this again the last time I was there, but it was out of action the whole time.....

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

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?

The Artist · 21-06-2008 02:40AM

bungee jumps 3 times for charity raised about 850 euro's for the Ernville maternity hospital where my three kids were born.
A 2 day quad trek in spain, Brilliant!
Burrowed my friends crutches at spain and petending to have accidents with them in the supermarkets,pubs,etc.It was a howl of a time.

Nitro in Six Flags New Jersey

Queued for Kingda Ka for hours, only for it to break down when I was really close to the top

Heading back here next year though:cool:

Nitro is unbelievable. I have been to most of the big theme parks, and that is by far the best ride i've even been on. Loop the loops do nothing for me, but I love big drops. This was near perfect for me.

Kinga was broken when I was there too.

Camping up the Rockies with two of my mates was pretty awesome.

The best fun thing you ever did?
