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...

« Go Back
A mate and I visited Auschwitz on our Eastern Europe student exchange.It was March, and perishing cold. The place is completely soul-destroying and dreary, exactly as you see it on TV and the movies. We soon felt strangely crushed and sobered ('sober' being unusual in itself for that trip.)
However, you can't keep it up forever. We eventually got the giggles, and I somehow found myself standing on the demolished roof of a gas chamber, miming the dropping-in of a poison gas pellet, saying ''Ave it, Jews!' while my callous friend doubled up with scandalised laughter.
I'm glad the Mossad-looking 'escorts' with the Israeli youth groups who were visiting didn't overhear. Too far by half.
