1. Got a fine for driving with my arm out of the window
2. Lost all my windows to a Nigerian arms depot exploding
3. Fell down a man hole and had the lid land on top spending a good 15 minutes stuck before getting rescued (was about 6)

1. Been sick three times whilst climbing table mountain (hungover, WC 2010)
2. Played blackjack next to Matt Holland in Port Elizabeth (WC 2010)
3. Visited a Plymouth strippers with Barry Hayles and Ebanks - Blake (1-1 midweek away draw, Sylvan L scored after about 10 seconds) |
I was so ill walking up Table Mountain, in the midday sun, with no refreshments, halfway through a fortnight long bender, that I honestly thought I was going to have to call the helicopter rescue team. Fortunately, somehow I managed to make it.
Several years before that, I lived in Cape Town (for a while in Vredehoek, right at the bottom of Table Mountain) and we regularly walked up to the top. Great city. |  | | |

1 As a young reporter was told to F@&% off by Bob Paisley in front of a crowd of national paper hacks at Anfield.
2 Told a slightly drunk Chris Finnegan to stop p!$$ing about (and emerged unscathed).
3 Was linesman(remember those) for a Wessex League match led by 1st woman ref Wendy Toms and she suggested we could all get changed together after the match. We didn't. Although I realise that might be construed as something I didn't do. |
I wonder how many people have just googled Wendy Toms to see what their decision would have been! | | | |

Barry Hearn told me and a mate that... "I will have your legs broken down the London Road if you try and pull a stunt like that again!" |  |

The Darkness....good old Lowestoft boys :) |
I remember they were supporting Whitesnake at the Regent. As big snake fans my buddy and I went along. Went in to the theatre where Darkness were opening, about 15 people in there. Went to the front, listened to a couple of numbers then said to my mate ‘f@@k this, fancy a beer?’ He agreed and just as we turned to go Hawkins mouthed the c word at us.
Three or so weeks later they were a worldwide sensation. |  |

Is there an award scheme on the lines of the Oscars for brilliant posts like this? Maybe a Bluey or something like that to recognise brilliance in the field. |  | | |

Has been quite funny, though Lucan has probably done more than the rest of us put together. And am sure he's only scratched the surface. | |

Brilliant thread. Rather mundane compared to most but still:
1) Held (and presumably still do) the second fastest 100m time in the world on Beijing 2008 Olympics game on the Xbox
2) Served Peter Purves his ballot paper in several elections
3) Paid 50 euros for an inflatable shark to be given a lap dance in a strip club in Munich |

1) Somehow sat on a sewing machine and gave myself a temporary second arsehole
2) Asked John Barnes to do the World In Motion Rap on stage at Butlins during a football tournament award ceremony
3) Have never got injured playing football but once broke my foot at a football match about 5 yards away from my seat after buying a KitKat and had to get carried out on a wheelchair up the terrace |
Almost got a match for 3. The only serious injury I got was whilst I was on the subs bench - team mate tripped me up, deliberately, and I broke my collarbone. Manager wasn’t too happy  . | |

Three fresh ones. :-)
Got on Liberian Tv interviewed at an Ngo conference
Was asked on stage on a Nigerian chat show to throw a hat at a hatstand and won a free flight home.
Made national radio after my Cortina was the broken down vehicle on the A12 that caused a 7 mile tailback. | |

I still think mine beats yours. I was up visiting my Grnadparents and was watching York City v Scunthorpe on a Tuesday Night in October, bitterly cold. Walked round the whole ground before the injury. At first, I thought it was just impact but half of my foot had swollen up. At the end of the game I spoke to the St John's ambulance who told me I'd have to wait until all 3000 or so people had left before they wrapped me in blankets put me in a wheelchair and carried me up the stairs and across the terrace. I then had to wait until 2am in A and E only to be refused crutches because I didn't live in York.
So as a temporary measure I used my Grandad's slippers and walking stick. I was quite a sight in the service station the next day... |  |

1 escaped Interpol by jumping out of a window and being on the run for a week in Cyprus
2 Been involved with a couple of Peel session at Peel acres
3 When I was 16 I drove my boss’s brand new Range Rover into a full diesel tank which toppled over into a brand new building spilling around a ton of diesel on the floor. |  |

Your earlier post re Interpol should have been a winner but this post wins absolutely hands down.
I remember the Interpol thing - care to repeat the whole story? |  |

Missed an overnight train that I was booked on with my son from Sofia to Istanbul due to platform confusion, that subsequently derailed and 24 people died.
Same trip missed a road collapse by minutes when on a trip up the mountains - first on scene after collapse
And next week in Bergamo with the wife and left an outside cafe and seconds later a balcony above collapsed onto the table we had been sitting at. |
Never go on holiday with you would be the answer there. |  |

Loosely maybe....it was post poll tax riots and I had made the mistake of being tall and photographed on a few too many demos. Luckily for me and in a moment of rare common sense I decided to skip that particular event. The word in the ear was basically to let me know they knew I was back! |
I like you.
I was too soft to do such things when I was young, and now subvert things in quite a safe way myself, but i do subvert things, and have made a difference, a few times, locally.
One of my friends was arrested for the Extinction Rebellion protest at Barclaycard HQ on Wednesday. I'm proud to call him my friend.
Maybe it won't actually make a difference, but we can't do nothing, can we? | | | |

Thought of another one
Had a mad bender on E's with three generations, kids, wife and I plus my dad
Maybe not that far out but it was a good day / night.
RIP dad.
Edit; Mother was actually pet sitting for a stupid cat at the time and she was royally p1ssed off when she found out about it. [Post edited 26 Feb 2020 21:24]

Don't forget "Lost a handbag on a train that I bought for my wife. It was on my arm all along. Class A substances may have been involved."
i love your "Live update" stories.

1. Random lift to Filbert St, Leicester with Micky Stockwell's mum and dad after they stopped to ask me directions outside Leicester train station. Late-80s/early 90s I think?
2. Even randomer night on the beers with Kristen Stewart and her friends when I was in LA for a wedding last year, due to a bizarre mutual friends situation that arose outside a bar.
3. A few years ago I offered to write a business plan for a lingerie startup company to try and impress the girl who was launching it–except I knew nothing about writing business plans or the intimate garments industry. My plan got her two rounds of funding and recently some of their products were featured on the cover of Harper's Bazaar. I have never been able to repeat this trick for myself. Not even close. |  |

1) Took part in what must have been the very last Victorian style topographic survey....struggling up the Himalayas with a huge retinue of porters, bearers, assistant porters and assistant bearers with 1950s optical theodolites....all replaced by GPS nowadays
2) Passenger in an Army landrover carrying a mixed cargo of petrol jerrycans and 80 000 rounds of rifle ammunition. Driver lost control going down a hill at high speed, vehicle performed a series of cartwheels and summersaults and then slid along the road in a shower of sparks. Petrol jerrycans flew open, flames everywhere that set fire to the wooden ammunition boxes which then set of the ammunition. It was like Guy Fawkes night but with more attitude
3) Stood very close to someone who was hit by a speeding car. She was very dead, emergency services took nearly 45 mins to arrive. |  | | |

I was doing topo surveys the hard way as recently as 2009, full porters and the works. Only local scale though.
Not sure I like the sound of the others though :( | |

Interesting about the topo...tell me more
You are right, both of the second two were when I was young (ish) but have caused me some distress in later years | | | |
