Too late am I?
Can not change thread to one about how to get in to the Darwin awards?
OH I would make it,not a single doubt.
Even some things I do now in a 4x4.
So yes if planking while full as the proverbial 7 story's up is your wish ok.
But if you can see that far, look to see if I am walking past first ok?
I have learned in this thread about glass castles and stones, again.
Lets all hope the kids are not reading this.

It is not surprising that trainee fighter pilots indulge in dangerous games, but you might be surprised at how careful they were at many things.

The navy sent us trainee pilots off to train with the RAAF. We started at Uranquinty No.1 basic flying training school, near Wagga. A bunch of us went to the Wagga show together, & not one would ride the Ferris wheel, or the Octopus thing, as we reckoned they were too dangerous, because we had no idea who put them together, or maintained them.

We did have one dangerous game, fighters & bombers. Played in the trainee pilots club, a large nissan hut with no ceiling, the fighters hung by their legs from the beams, & the bombers had to crawl from end to end of the hut & back, avoiding the fighters who would drop on them. This was of course played mostly drunk. Ambulance trips were common.

Management hated this game, although they had probably played it themselves. Having spent 15 pounds a day, [a tradesman's weekly pay at the time] on training us for up to 2 years, they wanted us to survive, & do something useful at the end of it.

Hasbeen:“they wanted us to survive, & do something useful at the end of it.”

This is how I now feel about parenting.

Bellybabe:”Lets all hope the kids are not reading this.”

One of mine did, she thinks Hasbeen and Csteele are cool. You’re both bad influences! I checked out the Darwin awards Belly, funny... I’m going back for another gander. Houel keeps talking the way he is and I might suggest him for one.

Ammo: “>> I’m horrified I survived my own youth <<
Me too.”

I’m nearly finished raising children; maybe I’ll give it all another go? Oh dear... do women go through mid-life crises...

Hi Jewely,

You're 'nearly finished raising children' ? You poor deluded girl :(

And the older they get, the dumber the things they do. Always have a First Aid kit and a box of tissues handy ;)

Do women go through mid life crises, of course they do Jewely. What you need is a 150 miles per hour sports car, you can pick one up for Toyota Corolla money these days. You don't have to use it, but with it there you know you can always run away, if it all gets too much.

I kept my yacht for 8 years after I moved back into civilisation, rarely using it. But you see I knew sanity lay just 24 hours sailing time east of Sydney heads, & she was my ticket if I needed to run away.

It's when there is no way out that that we start getting foolish.

Jewerly it is not over yet.
I had a roll in raring 5 of my siblings then rared 5 of one of theirs.
Watched every silly act in fear, then remembered I did much the same.
I love most, watching them trying to stop their kids being like? them
Fun but like that car too hasbeen.
Ever got half way up a hill in the bush all four wheels spinning, remembering why they call it Devils track?
Wondering if this time you may not make it.
Try it again this week end no road left but those rocks, they will not roll on me, will they?
