Your bravest moment in life?

[Kirstie]

Not leaving when I discovered that a partner had ripped me off for about 14 grand, despite being very badly betrayed and deeply hurt. Instead faced it and worked through it.

I once threw a stick at a wasps' nest!

As a kid we used to make pipe bombs using a nice fat piece of copper pipe flattened at one end, filled with a mixture of weedkiller and sugar the other end flattened with a hammer, a nail driven into the middle and a weedkiller/sugar fuse lit a few dozen yards away...Impressive!.... and I still dont know how we survived

A famous footballer (a household name at the time) took great offence to me when I was served ahead of him in a nightclub. "You're dead ignorant, you are" he said to me and I responded by calling him an unflattering nickname he was sometimes called to wind him up. He threw a punch which I ducked and the barmaid who'd served me yelled, "Hit the ..... .... (nationality and offensive name deleted!)" so I did! I smacked him hard right in the mush and he went down like a sack of shite and the bouncers came running over. Uh oh! That might have been a bit rash, I thought anticipating the kicking I was obviously going to get from them for smacking a "celeb" but to my amazement, they picked him up and threw him out! I was still waiting for them to come back and chuck me out when the barmaid told me everyone in the place despised him as he thought he was the big I-am and he spoke to them all as though they were dirt. The head bouncer came back over and told the barmaid to give me a free drink! Result!

Oh yes .... my Dad never wondered why the weedkiller kept disappearing.

Our parents used to disapear for long evenings leaving us roaming the house and garden, we had no TV so used to amuse ourselves - God knows how we never shot each other, burned each other or the house or outhouses down, flooded the house, blew it up or crashed Mum's car. It never occurred to us to try alcohol, that didn't come until our teens.

I was first on scene at a domestic, and walked up to the front door and was met by a bloke with a cut lip. I asked him what was up, and noticed his hand was in his jacket 'Napoleon-style'. I asked what he was holding and to show his hands. At this point he produced a claw hammer, took a swing at me, missed, and ran inside the house. A siege ensued, which resulted in him smashing the house up and drinking drain cleaner.

As kids, at fireworks time, we used to light a banger, then see who could ride over it on their bike at the last possible moment just before it went off! Sometimes I think kids these days miss out on stuff like that... mind you, we never let on, so p'raps mine are doing stuff like that, but somehow i kind of doubt it...

The first 3 or 4 of my 300 skydives were a bit scary, as was my first solo glider flight. The instructor got out, shut the canopy and said you're on your own now. 20 seconds later I was launched to 1200 feet. That was scary and lonely.
