Walking, or should I say staggering drunkenly, along the main street of Kings Cross after a big night on the piss, I was stopped by a guy who I mistakenly took for a bouncer. Greg and Joe were further ahead of us heading for the station, as it was the end of festivities for us…

On our way home from Cronulla beach we ended up in the outside lane at a set of lights. Cars were parked in front of us just across the intersection. Wayne was driving one of his shitbox cars he picked up for a couple of hundred dollars. For the story let’s say it was a…

I don’t know where the car came from, but it was copping a hammering in the park. My mates were taking turns thrashing it around the large reserve. I ended up in the passenger seat while Rob was taking his turn. He was spinning it so hard that grass was coming in through my window…

This one is a double bunger. Legend has it that Bon Scott, the original front man for AC/DC, died by choking on his own vomit after a heavy drinking session. I cannot positively confirm if this is true, but I can assert that it nearly happened to me on two occasions. One was at the…

Previously I used the image of Indiana Jones running from the giant boulder in “Raiders of the Lost Ark”. Believe it or not I had another similar experience. I was helping my father and his mate (Steve) working on a brewery truck. We were delivering kegs and I was down in the cellar. Steve was…

Walking down to Tempe reserve to participate in another night of underage drinking beer and sharing stories with our mates; Wayne and I had just withdrawn our share of the beer money from the service station on the Princes Highway. We were standing on the median waiting for a part in the traffic. Our timing…

This one is another story from the same National Park visit I wrote about earlier; apparently we hadn’t been dare-devil enough and needed to put our lives into further jeopardy. Pitch black; and Corey, Jonno and I head off on a bushwalk to God only knows where. We found a path and we just followed…

Kevin’s bucks night; plenty of alcohol and pot had been consumed. At some point in proceedings it was decided that Kevin would be tied to the clothes line and spray painted. After this he was tied to the headboard of a flatbed truck and taken for a joyride. The rest of us jumped on the…
