Whats the riskiest thing you have ever done?

Through work? Turned up and followed orders!

In leisure time, in absolute sheer stupidly once, entered with another Irish man (who had an arm tattoo showing a leprechaun in boxing stance, fists up and the words "The Fighting Irish") went into a bar full of off duty half drunk English soldiers in an English town that had 3 army bases around it.
...And this was during a series of bombings that was happening in the North and England.

We stood out like a sore thumb.
When we realised where we were, as much as we could handle ourselves, we got the hell out of there.
You could have cut the atmosphere with a knife when they kopped who we were.
I know to this day, our asses could have been handed to us in a flash!

Driving a car to its limit a few times. Looking back it was just stupid.
Slept in for an exam one morning. I was in Newry because I was too tired to drive to Dublin the night before. Decided to floor it all the way into Dublin and leave the car and run the rest of the way. Got from Newry to Aungier Street in under an hour.

Swallowed an apple core. Thought I'd have a tree growing in my stomach!

I delivered a Pizza to a very dodgy part of Dub once. Genuine, I was ****ten when I seen what I had to walk past in the stairwell. I got paid and even a tip and even with a bit of cash got past some junkies unmolested.

antodeco · 27-07-2012 12:11AM

Closed the zip on my jeans when not wearing and jocks. Most delicate maneovoure in the world!

Andrewf20 · 27-07-2012 12:17AM

Did a tour around a Favela in Rio. These are slum areas of the cities run by the gangs. The police dont go in as they got shot / attacked. I even had some lad tell me to put a camera away. Him there with an AK47. Brilliant. I was waiting to bump into Ross Kemp. :P

You'll be pleased to know that that has no ill effects whatsoever.

Tried to ride a burd on a train platform once and a train pulled in before I'd finished, so I did'nt finish, and I've forgotten why I'm saying this ???

Twice I've eaten chocolate and gone to bed.

Without brushing my teeth.

I'm hardcore.

I tried to shag my best friends sister after the Dublin V Meath match on Sunday.

Not really risky. Just retarded

Was out running and got lost in Moyross -ended up in the middle of a halting site and ran my fastest pace yet when I realised

Got stark naked in Tenerife a few of weeks ago and chased the lucky lucky's through Veronica's strip in Playa Las Americas.

F***er's were terrified of me.

Went tubing in Laos. 22 people died doing it last year, and more the previous year.

LLU · 27-07-2012 01:34AM

Oh no, another magnet thread for replies like 'took a dump', 'yore ma', etc etc etc.

But anyway: riskiest thing I ever did was a bungee jump in Africa, attached by my ankles. Only found out later that several people had died doing same, and others had gone blind due to detached retina. Never again.

Cú Giobach · 27-07-2012 06:53AM

Going on the piss in a staunchly loyalist part of the north during the hight of the "troubles" all the time hiding my Cork accent, fucking brilliant and terrifying (and quite eye opening).

There is some buzz though out of driving at 220kph

One false move though and your brown bread so yes not the most intelliegent thing to be doing.

Went all in with a palace once,rent money and all-beaten by a straight flush! Hadn't seen it at all on the Board,guess that's what you get for playing southern cross middle card wild.

Assuming your definition of a palace is the same as mine, i.e. 5 cards the same (using wild cards obviously) then you should have actually won that hand. A palace is the highest hand you can have in wild card poker and it beats a royal flush, never mind a straight flush.

PS. want a game of cards?

Went robbing apples in a orchard as a young fella. Owner came out complete with shotgun and dogs. I got hit with a few pellets, lad with me took a dog bite to the knee (well his leg). The riskest thing about it was staying quiet and not letting it slip you were caught robbing, whether shot or not shot. Going to the hospital or squealing to the parent/guards back then meant you'd be in worser trouble. Ah, the good old days (kids are pussies nowadays).

140 mph on a motorbike ... more fun than in a cage

In saying that i'd say 140mph in an M3 is cool

As opposed to where else for a bungee jump?

When I was in my late teens I was travelling around the US. My wallet was stolen on an overnight bus trip and so I had literally no money for about three days while waiting for some to be wired over.

In that time I had to hitchhike from the small town I was in over to a larger city where I could find a Western Union.

I was trying to hitch a lift out of a truck stop, but none of the truckers were allowed take passengers (company rules) so I found it very hard. I ended up staying the whole day in the truck stop, not able to get a lift.

A lot of the truckers stayed overnight in the truck stop in their cabs. One of the truckers said to me if I wanted to bunk in his cab to get some kip for the night. And since I was so tired, I did.

I often think since, that could have been the end of me.

Whats the riskiest thing you have ever done?
