Legal,but stupid!!

Things you have done as a youth-

When aged about 18 or 19,me and several mates decided to stage a roadside fight,near the cement works near Shoreham.

We parked our cars roadside one Friday/Saturday evening,left the headlights on,then proceeded to pretend to kick the out of each other.

What amazes me to this day is that some bloke turned his car around and came back to ask if we were alright?

Plain stupidity.

Any other reckless stupidity among us?

At a gig, having got an upstairs ticket (as all downstairs tickets had sold out), jumping from the balcony at the Brighton Centre to join my mates in the downstairs area.

When i was 15 we used to box down by Hove museum. As we got used to the pain we went bare knuckle. I used to have to use my mum's make-up to hide my bruises, until my dad caught me and wondered if i had something to tell him!

For no apparent reason me and a mate spent half hour driving erratically around Brighton in his bashed up Ford Escort, whilst wearing full IRA style balaclavas. The police came to our houses and gave us a bollocking

Roughly speaking how high is that?

Went to a farmers field and rolled his hay bails down a field in Upper Beeding.Me and 2 of my mates we were only 7. The farmer caught us and pointed a shotgun at the three of us and said if we trespassed on his land again he would shoot our hands off.

Suffice to say we never went into that field again. To reiterate I was only seven and told my Dad who said well you shouldnt have been touching his Hay. Thanks for the support there Dad.

You rebel!

Which reminds me:

I once had an extra mug of Horlicks before bed time.

Oops guilty on that too. Did it from Aldrington to Portslade. Scary!!!

Not entirely legal either, but the stupidest thing I've ever done and still haunts me to this day...
Living near the railway line, we used to cross the line (not at a crossing). We all knew which was the live rail and so carefully stepped over it. One day there was a kid with us who didn't know. None of our group said anything - we just assumed he knew too. He jumped up on to the live rail and jumped off again. If he had bridged the live rail and the running rail he would have been dead.

'son, are you a transvestite'
'no, just taking part in bare knuckle boxing'
'well that's ok then'

I thought if both feet didn't touch the rail at the same time you'd create a circuit and that would be it. It must have been bloody lucky for your friend to put both feet on the 3rd rail at the same time very bloody lucky.
