    Never done anything extreme. Proper boring bugger me like.

    Came off me motor bike and crumpled mesel a bit when I was a young `un and that`s about it.

    Loopy roller coasters is my limit.

    Lost in the mists of time I'm afraid - I'm ashamed to say I can't even remember her name (I'm pretty sure I enjoyed it though!)

    I had a couple of flying lessons in a Cessna, my instructor wanted me to land the plane in the third lesson but I was secretly quite glad I'd only booked two, didn't fancy it. I just wanted to have a go at flying not risk my life trying to land on a small grass runway.

    I had to swim into the Mersey to rescue my dog who had gone in after a stick and was going under and getting swept on in the current, had to swim one handed back to the side with her under my arm, probably the most risky thing I've done but it had to be done.

    I don't mind heights at all. Love working in cherry pickers. Don't mind working off ladders etc.

    You guys haven't lived. Only the bravest of you will be game to try "The Bronco Shag" the thrill of a lifetime or an utter disaster (depending on your partner).
    It's almost the same as the "Doggie Fashion" except just before the 'short strokes' you lean forward and tell your partner that her best mate is a better shag than she is - you have to hang on for eight seconds!!!!!:emoticon-0165-muscl:emoticon-0136-giggl

    12000 foot tandem parachute jump was great, bloody cold up there though, the fields down below looked like a patchwork quilt.
    Climbed a 60 foot tree lumberjack style in front of 2000 spectators at the new forest show, i was ****ed but determined to do it, had to climb up and ring a bell at the top, great feeling when i got back down.
    Blow out on my Ford Capri doing 85 on a motorway, few spins and i ended up facing the right way on the inside lane and didn't hit anything, lucky as ****, changed my wheel and then off i went again, 85 all the way home. Just thought lightning don't strike twice.
    Not had any real near death experiences though, think i would shat my pants at doing a bungee jump though.
