I dare you to...

A mate's Dad tells me he used to have to run through the Queen Street high level tunnel when he was a wee boy to get into a gang - initiation ceremony sort of thing. Mine was a trip down the 'Death Slide'. We found (stole) a few hundred feet of high tension electrical cable (the stuff from pylons) and nailed one end to a high tree and the other end to another tree down a hill. Grab yourself a pair of chopper bike handlebars, climb the tree and you're away!

Anyone got any childhood dares that don't involve women, alcohol or stealing cars? That's just boring.

Well there was two:

Number 1: Having to cross this pipe across a burn down by the
castle, when the tide was in. Was rather nasty dare since I
don't swim (prefer heights - terrafirma dude)

Number 2: It involved the local quarry and was ******* insane,
I've you knew me better might tell you about it, slighty
dangerous in the slightest. Well let's say, things attached
to wires

"things atached to wires?"

bomb dogs?

[Pgcc93]

bomb dogs?

of the suicide variety leaping over bridges to thier death near an old house?

[Alchemist]

Nope, the dogs were chased over by the local ghost

We had a metal lampost that must have had a wire lose so it had a mild(ish) electrical current going through it. Know as "the electric pole" we used to see who could touch it for the longest time.

Got quite creative, making human chains and touching it with scaffolding poles etc...

Reminds of a tragic incident in Partick/Thornwood a few years ago where a woman chained up her two dogs to the scaffolding outside the bakers on Dumbarton Road near Exeter Drive.

Due to a dodgy bit of wiring she was electrocuted as were both of the dogs

The dogs were left lying where they fell with some Police tape around the scene when I went passed.

Nasty Stuff.
