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...

StoryThis has reminded me of an episode that I can't go into full details as it's long, dull and requires a history lesson of James_Tiger_Woods' pathetic crush/obsession on "She who shall remain nameless" - let's call her Gertrude...
Suffice to say that night (It was a Friday night I think) involved me ignoring my partner completely, chatting up my friend's girlfriend (in front of my partner), telling another friend that I wish I was with Gertrude (and my partner hearing me say it), getting sh*tfaced, throwing up in the hotel bed and then driving home with a furious partner the next morning and I was totally still drunk.
Too far? Possibly.... it gets worse.
That same night I'd slapped my manager on the back and said "Hey fatty" (He's about 30 stone), getting into a row with his wife and generally being a drunken arse.
Too far? I'd say so.
Did I mention that this was all at my friend's wedding reception? No. She wasn't amused.
Did I mention that there were loads of senior work people there - I was drunk and had forgotten.
My partner was so angry she was just "dissapointed" in me. The shame.
The Monday morning at work was interesting to say the least as everyone had seen me be that particular arse. There was a LOT of tutting and shaking of heads in my direction.
Took me about 3 years to live that one down. My partner and I don't discuss that night so I think I did more than I remember or have been reminded of.....
There seemed to have been no detrimental effect on my career either (cough cough) - I've literally just realised that there probably was and all this was about 5 years ago......
No penis joke here - this was a shameful event in my history.
