    I spent a day in Thailand up near the Cambodian border, being driven around in the back of a pickup truck with a barrel of water which we were encouraged to throw at everybody we passed. At lunch time we watched a bit of cockfighting, had a water fight with all the old people inthe village, watched young kids battering each other in a thai boxing contest and then jumped in another pickup and went hunting for more people to throw water at.

    They do "new year" so much better than us :)
    I read that as Cardassian border.... oh dear.

    I was wandering around an airport in America trying to find the right Gate, when I found it I almost tripped over a box on the floor, I was about to give it an almighty kick out of the way when I noticed it had "human organ for transplant" and some medical stuff on it ... :eek:

    Saw 4 naked traveller kids on a surfboard in the Dodder once a few years ago.

    what you witnessed is Tallaght's very own "Ginger Nuts Classic" surfing contest. The wet suits are ditched for speed purposes.

    Almost cycled into a cart of hay that came out of nowhere because I was racing Masaii warriors down a main road. They skidded too.

    Must admit, after reading lots of Biggin's posts I'm quite intrigued too.
    I for one don't believe he's full of it - I believe ya baby.
    Perhaps we should have poll thread for 'Who/What is Biggins'.

    My suggestions would be.
    1. Austin Powers - International Man of Mystery
    2. Chuck Norris's Trainer / Sensei
    3. Some deranged lunatic who has escaped from a mental institute. :)
    4. The Viper

    5. Walter Mitty :p

    Can I have an explanation too please. Some of your posts sound quite like the
    stories I sometimes hear about a guy I was in school with.

    Probably not the most surreal thing but the one I can think of at this moment in time was a night out in a club in London a few years ago. It had a burnt out pink and yellow taxi outside it and everything inside was flourescent. Everyone in it, guys and girls, seemed to be either German or in the Royal Navy which is, to say the least, an odd mix. A lot of people were wearing monkey masks and when I went to the toilet the guy beside me was trying to eat the tap!

    TBH I'm really not describing just how weird it was very well, you really had to be there! Actually I thought that place was class :D

    Gay bar? That may not have been a "tap" he was eating. *shudders*

    I think my bizarre experience takes the prize.

    I was in Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon, at about 3 o'clock in the morning, looking for one thousand brown M&Ms to fill a brandy glass,
    or Ozzy wouldn't go on stage that night.
    So, Jeff Beck pops his head 'round the door, and mentions there's a little sweets shop on the edge of town.
    So - we go. And - it's closed. So there's me, and Keith Moon, and David Crosby, breaking into that little sweets shop, eh.
    Well, instead of a guard dog, they've got this bloody great big Bengal tiger.
    I managed to take out the tiger with a can of mace, but the shopowner and his son... that's a different story altogether.
    I had to beat them to death with their own shoes.
    Nasty business, really.
    But, sure enough, I got the M&Ms, and Ozzy went on stage and did a great show.

    True story...

    Well I suppose this is as good as place as any to start.

    When I was working on a wind turbine erection crew we were told to drive from a job in Hull to another job in Cambletown Scotland great we thought a day on the road. Just as we are about to leave Hull phone rings go collect some new gear in Liverpool when we get there we sit waiting for the boat to come in with the stuff on it doesn't land till six in the evening, we then set of for cambletown we pass Glasgo bout 12 next thing I know I wake up in the hotel in cambletown the following morning. I ask the lads at breakfest and they say I drove the whole way and have no memory of it all, However they did say is I was driving like a man possesed so take from that what u will.

    Staggered into a dive bar in the U.S. around 1:00am dressed in a bright green pimp suit clutching a half empty botle of Jameson in one hand and a diamond topped pimp cane in the other, when the barman enquired as to what I wanted to drink I answered with a drunken roar - GEORGE W. BUSH IS A F***ING C***.

    Then I sat at a table by myself muttering into the darkness.

    I mountain biked down the world's more dangerous road. They call it that. Three metre wide dirt track in Bolivia, sharp/blind turns with 700m cliffs on one side, all down hill for about two hours.

    Posing for a photo in front of Reactor 4 in Chernobyl, the scene of the biggest nuclear disaster in history.
    Stepping into an abandoned city and hearing nothing but the wind, knowing youre one of the only people in a town where 50,000 people once ate, slept, worked and lived
