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...

Hand injuryAnother Northumbrian tale. As it was about 30 years ago the details aren't very clear.
Folks took us to a local out of doors antiques fair. My little brother and I found a big stone knife sharpener. Think a giant millstone held horizontally in a metal and wood framework, with a handle so a little boy could spin it really fast.
I don't remember how it happened, but as I span the stone at high speed, my little brother's hand got stuck between the stone and the metal frame.
Most of the skin on his forearm and hand got scraped off.
Probably was a bit excessive.
