Not necessarily crazy but much fun, riding pillon round the TT race track with a complete stranger at high speed and hundreds of other bikers. He was a gent, dropped me back off with me Dad afterwards

Been walking and paddling off the local beach in January in the very early hours of the morning (freezing cold) - (pub staff party, alcohol involved). At least I sat down on the slipway and removed my shoes and tights, the guys got their suits ruined.
Lots of things come to mind - Jumping from Adam to Eve on Tryfan in the dark, ice climbing in shorts in Glencoe, bungee jumping at Cowes regatta,
driving a tractor over a cliff...............have done quite a few silly things - smiling about some that I cannot repeat now
I can add to the list of daft swimming - mine was in the North sea off the Scottish coast in November. When I got home I climbed into what I was sure was a scaldingly hot bath, only to realise later that it was barely tepid but my body temp was so low it felt really hot!
I've also teetered along a foot wide wall with the sea raging on either side, wearing high heels and a ball gown.
I once had a mad feminist moment and decided that being 8 stone and 5' 2" should be no bar to moving a large wardrobe down the stairs on my own. Barely avoided being squished to a pulp at the bottom!
Think that's enough for now

I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery
My heart going boom boom boom
"Hey" he said "Grab your things
I've come to take you home."
Drove a tractor through a dung heap to check the difflock worked, it was about 4' to 5' deep and I went through all right, tractor didn't quite smell the same afterwards.
Cycled through a car park barrier when it went up on my approach. It went down as I passed through, 15' metal pole hit me on the head.
Got so drunk I was still throwing up the following afternoo, scotch swigged from the bottle at midnight is not a good idea after arriving at the aprty around 5pm.
After falling out with one of my bosses about 7 years ago I parked the lorry and trailer in Heathrow short stay carpark posted the keys home to Northern Ireland Jumped on the plane and came home.
Cost him �600 to get the lorry out
Drank a 10 glass bottle of Vodka and a 5 glass bottle of vodka while on anti biotics for blood poisioning. Passed out (one and only time)and woke up 10 hours later to find out I had been sick in just about every room in the house.I dont drink vodka anymore
Craziest thing I was ever involved in was being hijacked by the Russian mob at the Polish / Russian border. I spent 3 days in a first class Moscow hotel were, if I could order it by phone I could have it but I just wasn't allowed to leave the suite. Food ,drink,drugs and girls were all there if I wanted them.After 3 days I was very glad to see my truck back even if the 25 tons of sirloin steak that was in the back had disapeared.
I can laugh about it now (just) but I never was as scared as I was for those 3 days . Needless to say I dont do drugs and at that time viagra hadnt been invented.
There's a lot more that I could tell but its probably better that I dont
There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore and who always will. Don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it in your future.
When I was a kid, at Sandown on the Isle of Wight there used to be a pier, where little coaster type pleasure ships would call. We used to wait unti the boat started moving away, then jump into the whirlpools left by the propellors! Mad or what?
