Hmmm I've got a few.

  • Got blackout drunk and woke up in a different city in a random hospital in Spain when I was 15. Loads of crazy details to that one

  • Police got called to house party we were having after we got into a fight while tooled up. Left everyone in the house and turned all the lights off whilst us three ran out the back door. I went back and somehow convinced the police to leave. Loads of crazy details there.

  • Got blamed for rioting in a newspaper which was bullshit and a total lie.

  • Fell off a house and shattered my left foot

  • Throat ruptured after surgery and nearly died alone in my bathroom

Can we have some details from the 1st one please?

nearly died alone in my bathroom

lol, me too. But for me it was from taking a muscle relaxant shortly before going to bed with my girlfriend. Woke up at 1am, went to the bathroom to puke my guts out and pass out and wake up intermittently dozens of times while looking at the sunrise through the window.

I found out I'm allergic to that stuff and nearly died 5 meters away from my girl. Had to wipe the floor with a blanket from all the sweat, tears and piss. I really thought 'yep, that's it. Whoops.'

Dm me and I'll find the article. Was during the riots that started in London and got down to Chatham after that kid got killed by the police. We literally just lit a campfire in the park like we usually would and they said it was rioters lol.

I also still have my hospital discharge sheet from Orihuela too haha. I walked 12km in the wrong direction towards Murcia airport.

It's always a compliment when people think I embellish my stories. Best part is I still hang out with people involved in some of them so when my gf would hear their sides of shit she'd be amazed how it always backed up what I told her cos she couldn't believe some of it.
