Going Too FarEver had one of your mates go too far? Back when I was a teenager I went to stay with a friend in the country. We took his dog for a walk in some woods - which was fun.
We came across a breeding pen for the local pheasant shoot - which was interesting.
But then my friend broke into the cages, grabbed a pheasant, strangled it and proceeded to throw it around, only managing to rescue it from his dog's jaws seconds before a gamekeeper turned up to see what the hell was going on. Now, that was a bit too far...

Dim DaveNot me but a guy a worked with when I was a barman, he was a joiner and worked mainly on building sites. As is often the case, there was guy on this site (we’ll call him Dave) who was a few blocks short of a full pallet, e.g. he’d stuffed a wad or rockwool under his shirt because the hod he was carrying was rubbing his shoulder raw…didn’t try that one again.
So, Dave was the one that had to make the tea at morning break time. The kettle and stove were in a portakabin on the site and ten minutes before break time, Dave would go in, fill the kettle and put it on to boil.
Now the lads were always ragging him but one day, one of them went just a bit too far. As they came in in the morning, someone had the bright idea of turning on the gas under the stove, just a little bit, but not lighting it….you can see what’s coming.
An hour or so later, Dave calmly walked into the site hut, pulled out his lighter and blew the hut to smithereens. Luckily he suffered no worse than losing most of his hair and slight burns to his hands and face, as he was wrapped up warm against the winter cold. The hut was a write-off though and my mate says there was an impressive fire ball from the hole where the window used to be.
