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...

RACIST!!I'm joining in the Uni related fun...
Sunday night at the Manygates bar, and Owen (not the same chap mentioned in my last post, though maybe it's something to do with the name) is running the weekly Quiz. Which my mate Nik and I win by a landslide. Victorious, we go to collect our winnings. Now, we happened to live with Owen, and among the chorus of "FIX!" from our fellow students, Owen yells over the mic:
"Sorry, the Quiz is only open to English nationals!"
Stony silence. See, Nik is Scottish and fiercely patriotic, and I am Danish by descent.
Well. The next day, Nik and I paid a visit to the head of the student union. We got some official headed paper and an envelope, and sent Owen a letter saying, basically, that he'd been reported for making Xenophobic and Racist comments which were clearly against the student charter - and as a result he was being withdrawn from the course. And we sent it.
Did I mention this was three weeks before we graduated?
The letter arrived two days later. It was accompanied my much screaming and crying ("I din't mean it! I'm WELSH, for Chrissakes!") and (at least one) very angry parent... So we told him it was a trick.
He thought we went too far. I say it was justified!
