» Stupid Dares
me and my brother
have a series of one pound bets going on.
at a family wedding a few weekends ago he bet me a pound for every jug (big table jugs) of water I could drink. seen as these were all just stacked up on the bar having just been filled and waiting to be delivered to the table, I walked up and downed one looking the barman in the eye. unfortunatly that was just too much water.
In the park for the photos I bet him a pound to eat a holly leaf whole, turned his teeth and mouth green for the photos.
on the way back to the venue he bet me to goto try and buy drugs off a parked ice cream man but really really subtly.
"have you got any ..........smarties?" etc with much raised eyebrows.
things get hazy after that....

» Have you ever been dumped in a spectacular way?
weeeeellll
after drinking alot to get dutch courage (maybe a little too much) I squared up to my (soon to be ex) girlfriend and I opened my mouth to say.......
"I dont think we should see each other any more" but the words seemed to be coming out of her mouth not mine. I suddenly realised she had jsut dumped me...when I was going to dump her.. unfortunatelly I laughed very loud about this (darn dutch bravery) which seemingly was the wrong thing to do as she ran off crying.

Not an overhearing issue
a situation of someone over-seeing me?
I was walking along with my friend and for some reason I was giving him a estimate of how bit something was, but with the "I caught a fish - it was THIS BIG" hand action. a man leaned out of an approaching car and as he went past shouted "YOUR JOKING - IT CANT BE THAT BIG"
was the best bit of timed comedy ever from a chor.

» Accidental animal cruelty
Along with painting my dogs head blue
We invented a game where we put pegs on our dogs ears (retriever) and then made her move her head to one side, Que the pegs hitting her on the side of face making her flick her head back to that side to see what hit her. Que pegs from other side hitting her in the face also. repeat ad infinatum. It was only when she started going mental that we realised she probably wasnt enjoying this. whoops.
but shes cute though.
awww look at her

» Neighbours
I have a downstairs neighbour with the most barky vile uncontrolled staffy in the world.
I like dogs but this one has obviously never been trained.
I've tried to be nice to the guy a few times but he literally holds the dog so she can bark and snarl at you and sneers at you while doing so.
I regularly get woken up by the dog frightening and fighting with other dog walkers outside my windows early in the morning.
We've had confrontations when I've come in talking on my phone to the flats corridoor and he's come out going mental at me because his dogs woken him up cos she can hear someone in the flats (we're talking 8pm here not like 3am)
Therefore I devised a fun game called doggy roulette. As you enter the building some time after midnight you whistle gently at the main door then you have to get up to the flat, into it and have locked the door by the time he comes thumping up the stairs to find out who it was made his dog go mental. Stupid chav prick.
