Okay i`ll start....
I just knocked myself down :o :o
Due to horrendous engine noise this morning i left the omega in drive when i thought it was in park - with handbrake on ( was way over concerned by the noise) popped the bonnet made a few checks and then revved it. from under bonnet, car moved forward hitting me and forcing me to jump out the way - it was only doing walking pace..
Had to jump out the way and round to the open drivers window to haul the handbrake on even further, and put it into park :-/
15 yeards more and it would have been into a concrete wall ;D
Stupid or what?

Just in case anyone thinks I'm having trouble thinking of anything stupid I've done....
I'm compiling a list which I'll then sort into some sort of order......
Then I'll let you know what's on top. ::)
I obviously haven't been married long enough yet, because that's WAY down the list. ;)

Thats up there with SWMBO ( any swmbo) saying " does my bum look big in this" and Mr pausing for a millisecond before saying "no dear"...
The question everyman dreads.. ;D

Yeah, One day blokes who don't have an instinctive "no dear" response hard wired into their genetic makeup will have been removed from the gene pool, I reckon.
Fortunately being honest to your boss doesn't normally have an impact on your likelihood of successfully procreating...

My mate answered that question with ... "Of course it does, your bum looks big in everything because it IS big" ... needless to say he is no longer married to that lady. He now says the same thing to his 2nd wife and gets away with it because she is a "large lady" .. with an even larger personality and sense of humour !! :)

Trouble is, I am now going to come out with the brick story....
We were at a party just outside Stafford at a farm house (belonged to a friends parents) and had been clubbing in Stoke (desperate times!).
It was the early hours of the morning and we got back before one of our friends (he fancied his chances with some bird who had an artificial leg but, thats another story) and pretended to all be sleep.....
.....next thing we knew a bloody house brick came through the front door (which was a good 100 years old) taking the ornamental glass and wood with it (this guy got a bit violent when drunk)....
Needless to say we had one HELL of a lot of explaining to do and a VERY big bill for restoration!
Any way, 1 week later there was a knock at the door and outside was a post man who, to be honest, looked pretty pissed off.
He handed over a parcel wrapped in brown paper and with 4 quids worth of postage on it......
It was shaped like a brick
It had 'This is a brick written on one side' along with phrases like
'a self contained maisonette in 20,000 weekly installments'
'package 1 of 250'
'fragile, handle with care'
'this way up'
etc etc etc....
So, ONE of the other most stupid things I ever did was pretend to be asleep.....
Trouble is that following this incident an on-going vendetta started up which involved the said person urinating in the fuel tank of my old Fiesta followed by me adding to the header tank in his house 4 liters of Ribena concentrate......and it went on for 3 years!

here's another from me..
during the military service in 2nd week I become very sick..
38 Celcius temp. on head the normal behaviour I must do is to visit
the military hospital..And get the INJECTION..this is the scary part..
cause before me who got this injection can not sit, walk or stay in the bed on arse.. ;D
so I decided not to have it. ;D
but I must do something to escape morning sports ( 3km run with a heavy rifle and a t-shirt at 6 o'clock in the morning) as I was really sick and cant stand on feet whole day..
I become voluntary to work with the garbage truck :-[ (they get lost whole day)
In the beginning there was no problem as my nose dont get any smell..
And we rest whole day at the garbage area ;D
But after a few days when my nose start to take smell ( I understand that in the garbage area ) :P
Words are not enough to explain that..
The next day I started my precious morning sports ;D
