I won a 50/50 tackle against Terry Streeter about 10 years ago while he was playing for Southwick, he was a beast of a man at that point!

Opened the batting against a team with two decidedly quick opening bowlers on a 'sporting' wicket. Between them they managed to put three people in hospital (including their own wicketkeeper) but I saw them both off. I was covered in bruises on my chest, groin area and thigh and could scarcely move the next day. Perhaps that should have been the most stupid thing I ever did.

Ahhhh ........ summer ................. and the sound of leather on Gwylan's chest.

" There is no such thing as bravery, just different degrees of stupidity"

That is very brave :)

Doing a Bungee jump in New Zealand in my early twenties. Wouldn't do it again now but I do think I'm a bit braver at dealing with injuries and personal stuff now, which perhaps comes with age.

singing in german ( Brahms Requiem) at the Royal Albert Hall in front of 6000 people and being the only Tenor who came in at the right time on a particular movement and ended up singing eight bars on my own until the stupid sods decided to join in... the conductor was Sir David Willcocks and he hunted me down at the end of the concert and thanked me....which was nice

Wrestled a hammer wielding drunk to the floor in A&E, grabbed a bloke by the legs and held him up when he was hanging himself in a side room, dressed a copper in a Doctors coat as a disguise and showed him where there was a relative in the department with a gun in his waistband...sat in the triage area alone on a Friday night...I could go on and on.

In my normal life I was in a pub in Havant when we played Portsmouth...me and my mate were playing pool quietly when a minibus full of Mental Pompey sailor ****ers attacked us with pint pots, pool cues and chairs...had to drag my mate across the car park doing battle with the buggers all the way back to his ( company) car...they smashed the windscreen as we wheel spun out of there.

Sorry ive just got round to reading this; are you Jason Bourne?

In Greece (so water was warm) I had to swim under neath a large (approx 40 foot long) sailing boat that was stranded in the middle of a harbour armed only with a knife to cut free rope that had got caught around the boat's rudder. This had to be done pretty damn quick as a ferry was approaching fast. Felt like a super hero when I managed to get the rope free and everyone was safe. Afterwards the shock kicked in - drank quite a lot of beer that night!!

Punched a man in the FACE for hitting his missus in public. Only problem was he was wearing a motorcycle helmet and I pretty much broke my wrist off the bat.

Still...the balls on me, eh?

Most enjoyable was going over the top of one on a ride on mower.

Safest way is a 6-7 foot long piece of heavy duty flexible wire with a oval shaped loop tied off at one end. Allows you to break their spine easily and deliver multiple quick blows from a safe distance.

Shotguns also make a good quick kill, close the choke so the spray pattern is tight.

I killed most though with a good heavy bit of a gum tree branch I found. I'd just walk up with and smash their heads in. They can't bite you with a caved in skull.

How lovely...I am so glad I don't have to live in Australia...
