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...

So bored we went hillwalkingOne of my friends "back in the day" and myself made a point of trying to do something interesting and exciting every Sunday. Sadly, this Sunday was different. The world was boring. We were boring. We ended up driving about in the hills aimlessly, until we found a signpost that pointed to some tourist monument, up a hill.
Being exceedingly bored, we stopped and began walking up it. As we walked up, the hill got steeper on either side of the path... there were rocks sitting there so we started rolling them off the edge. We got up to boulders about a foot in diameter, pushing them off, hearing them go bouncing down the hill and the odd splash as they hit water. Again, I can only stress how bored out of our skull we were that this was a highlight of the day.
In the distance was the holy grail... a HUGE rock that looked about 2 feet wide! It was just begging to be pushed... so we did. Off it went... *THUMP*... *THUMP*... *THUMP*...
then - "BAAAAAA!" *THUMPTHUMP* and two loud splashes. We still don't know what it hit, or if it survived, but on hindsight, that HUGE boulder was maybe one too far.
