You done anything as a once in a lifetime experience


Recommended Posts

why were you in court??

I didnt realise at the time that Peshawar was a cheap place for westerners to buy kilos of heroin,plain clothes police stopped me at the train station as I was waiting for a train to rawalpindi maybe suspecting me of transporting drugs,I had two pistols without a valid reason and they were expecting me to pay them off rather than risk a court appearance I think,funny times :angel: £8 was a result :laugh:

Loads of crazy shit, but most of it, i intend to repeat if given a chance.

 

But i kind of hope "Spending the evening drinking raki and toasting the motherland, with serbian war criminals" will qualify.

 

And i met the Dali Lama once, he was funny :thumbs:

 

Oh and almost got murdered :laugh: Hope that's a one off! :cry:

was working in ayrshire in a town called auchinleck.young girl was cutting her grass,and her wee boy was playing in the garden.when i saw her scream and collapse to the ground.i thought she had been stung by a wasp as ther was hundreds of them that summer.i went over and soon realised she was being electrocuted.the wee boy was literally inces from grabbing his mum.i grabbed the kid ran into house and booted the plug from the wall.gave the kid to an apprentice and told him to take him over to behind the lorry.the mum was still alive when i went over,but she had foanm and stuff comming from her mouth.i often heard my old granny talking about the death rattle.well until that day i thought it was a myth.ill never forget the noise she made before she died.i will also never forget the crying and sobbing that wee boy did either.i often think about it maybe if i had took aome kind of first aid course that kid would still have his mum.bad luck and wrong person ie me being there.

Mate, if you'd not been there the little lad would probably be dead too. FFS don't beat yourself up thinking 'what if', life's not like that. Fair play to you :thumbs:

cheers mate,and yes i took solice in the fact that i saved the wee man.still it didnt make feel pretty useless at the time.i think everyone should do some kind of first aid course,but having said that im being a bloody hypocrite a bit,cause i still havent taken one.uts not a thing i would ever want to witness again thats for sure.the only the good thing to come out of that day is the kid was really young and prob will not remember any of it.
