Daftest thing you have done

[postman]

Don't ask me why but i have just rememberd two things that i did that were rather stupid .


Just after i retired we got the builders in and we provided the skip.Well we had it for seven weeks it being emptied a couple of times .And i always went out in the car giving it a wide berth .

Till the very last day for some reason i decided to reverse around it and guess what i hit it .

£50 for a new rear light .


Second one was turning my scooter around in a tight circle when i managed to put extra pressure on the throttle up went the bike i got thrown off and fell on the bike and broke two ribs .

Quite a few things, but one that particularly scomes to mind....

3 of us went to paddle the Tilt, we didn't realize at that time but it was in spate. We approached a small horizon line and decided to run it..... all 3 of us ended up in the water getting recirculated in a stopper. After what seemed like a few minutes of going around on "fast spin", I kicked out with my legs and was now in the main flow of the river, but couldn't get to the side.

I knew that if I went under the bridge and into the gorge where the main rapids started then I'd "really" be in trouble - and I could see the bridge not too far away. I was absolutely exhausted and remember saying to myself "you stupid c%&*, why didn't ou get out and check the drop?"

I'd stopped fighting, wasn't afraid, and was so tired all I wanted to do was go to sleep. Luckily there was a big eddy and I gave it one last go.....
