I showed off at a rocky crag in Dorset and I tried to walk when everyone else was crawling and I slipped, almost falling 30 feet to my death.

What other stupid or dumb things have you done?

Don't talk to me about paintball. The first time I went I had the ultimate scare. I was playing this Alamo game where we had to defend it. I was at first positioned at the front from the direction in which they were attacking. However at last minute I asked someone if they wanted to swap (I thought I'd get taken down too quickly).

The game began and then after a while there was this scream from the person I had swapped with. Paint had got into their eyes and they were in agony. She wasn't blinded mind you but it stopped me from going paintball again for a while.

Nevertheless I did it again and enjoyed it much more despite getting shot in the head at point blank range and running out of ammo every round. One round I pretended I was firing despite being ammoless. One guy had sneaked up from behind on our base. I was first to see him. He was like right in front of me. After shouting the S word a few times I surrended.

Dumbest thing I've ever done? I'm always making stupid mistakes I make myself cringe but the one that stands out in the crowd was when I nearly drowned when I was younger. Mum wouldn't let me swim anymore when we were on holiday. She refused to give me my armbands which I'd need to swim. Being the rascal I am I jumped in without them - into the deep end. After lots of sinking and my life flashing before me (I was 3 yet I still can see it vividly) and me swirming helpless under the water bubbles all around me my Dad's arm grabbed me and pulled me out. TO think I could have died there :/. Pretty dumb...

That made sense.

I did it in Australia. Brilliant fun. I did several laps without taking my foot off the accelerator. I didn't even use the brake. I just powerslided round the corners.

Anyway, I gotta go. I'll see you tomorrow!!

Uh huh. When you grow old you can't have any regrets.It's pointless to not do something you really want to. Basically, you should do anything and everything you want. Tomorrow might never come and if it doesn't you don't want to be saying "I wish I..." All ways remember, live fast die young, live for the present and never, EVER pass up any oppurtunity.

I fell out of a 30 foot tall conifer onto concrete. That could have been really serious, luckily the ground broke my fall :-D

I nearly broke my neck in that fall but who cares. Live Fast Die Young.
