Surfing of sorts
Picturesque autumn evenings are fantastic for having huge bonfires in my mates back garden. Plenty of beer is consumed and much fun is had by all.

When people get drunk, silly thing happen with fire. The mate in questions land is rather big and he owns a tractor, thus owning a diesel tank. Filling 2 litre bottles with diesel and pouring on a fire to make the biggest mushroom cloud possible is always a giggle.

The dare consisted of something a little different though. We were burning the remains of an old house, seeing as his folks clear houses and redo them. Chairs, couches etc were broken up. I was dared to break a chair up and throw it on the fire and "surf" the chair for as long as possible.

Not being one to back out I of course went ahead, broke the bottom of the chair out, threw it on and started riding the "wave."

Wasn't till my shoes were black and my trousers caught fire that I decided this was a bad idea apparently...

Oh well, you're only 18 once. 3 years have passed and I can guarantee this will happen again next time we have a bonfire...

Look no length joke! Hows that for originality!

My boyfriend did that once...
Except there was no chair. He just thought it would be a good idea to stand on a bonfire which he thought had gone out and his shoes melted.
