When were you last really scared?We'd been watching the Shining. We were staying in an old church building. In hindsight, taking the shortcut home after midnight, in the mist, through the old graveyard was a bad idea.
I'm not sure what started it, but suddenly all the hairs on my neck had gone up and I was crapping myself. It was almost as bad as when, after a few cups of coffee too many and buzzing on caffeine, I got freaked out by my own reflection in the toilets.
When were you last really scared?

Quad bikesAction! Adventure! The chance to total yourself like Rick Mayall and Ozzy have before you!
Yes, quad bikes have it all... including a somewhat frightening tendency to rocket from a dirt track through chicken wire, wooden posts, tyres and finnaly up a dirt bank, pitching the rather heavy machine onto your prone body as you back flip and attempt unsuccessfully to stop a ton of metal with your chin.
Great pain and suffering not really helped by attendant rushing over, looking between me and the bike for a few moments, plumping for the latter which he rights and dusts off before sitting down for a well earned cigarette break.
Girlish shreaking and purple-black knees are apparently not well liked down in Cornwall.
