I'm 40. I'm boring. What's the wildest thing you have ever done? I'm starting to wonder if Teresa may Is more wild than me in her fields of wheat

I think I've never been wild and I'm thinking I might need to address this. What's the wildest thing you have ever done? I think mine is prob missing my flight home from Crete when I was 22 for being too hungover. Literally nothing since. I'm so boring.

I had very controlling parent, so once I left home at 18 all bets were off, I think it's more of a case of what didn't I do.

But as an example ran around block naked for a dare when younger, lots of recreational drugs, rave scene, backpacking through Africa, skydiving, rock climbers. Sex in crazy places, been in lots of precarious positions there 😂

A relative of mine is living overseas illegally at 93, with her DP (15 years younger) who she met in her early 80s.

So I reckon there’s plenty of time!

HollowTalk · 01/03/2020 19:35

Is your relative able to access health care, Dozer?

Ohfrigginghellers · 01/03/2020 19:35

Slept with a Greek waiter Blush funnily enough in Crete

SkaterGrrrrl · 01/03/2020 19:39

I'm boring too now I'm in my 40s, but in my 20s I was a crazy person.

Loads of clubbing, festivals, raves, Class A drugs (was brilliant fun)

Plenty of one night stands with beautiful boys and the odd threesome

Backpacking solo, living in different countries, tattoos and piercings, dating musicians, gigs and parties....

If you saw me standing at the school gates in my jeans, Joules Breton stripes and trainers, you'd be none the wiser. Wink

I'm also 40, fat and boring.
But years ago recreational drugs, had a threesome with 2 guys, fantastic nights clubbing in some really famous, awesome clubs. Had sex with a set of twins(they weren't the threesome!)
Had fun but very happy with my quiet life now.

I did cocaine with a member of S Club 7

Well, you know what they say, there ain't no party like an S Club party!

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 01/03/2020 19:45

At the age Theresa was running through fields of wheat, I burgled a house Blush

RaininSummer · 01/03/2020 19:45

You wouldn't believe it if you met me now, but I took LSD in Amsterdam back in the 80s.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 01/03/2020 19:45

ETA only stole about £2.

weegiemum · 01/03/2020 19:47

Very little wild stuff, though I had fun!

Wildest I think really was going backpacking round Central America with the kids aged 16 months, 3.4, 5.4. We've never come across other folk who have travelled like this with kids except during those 3 weeks. It's was amazing, and I wish we'd been solvent enough to do it more.

@NeverGotMyPuppy I didn't even take my own bags. It was done crazy shit

ScrapThatThen · 01/03/2020 19:48

Had a nice sleep in a LandRover wrapped around my Spanish boyfriend after having sex. Woke early in the morning to find a Military Cavalry division exercising their horses in a figure of 8 around us 😂.

ScrapThatThen · 01/03/2020 19:48

I wasn't wearing very much

longearedbat · 01/03/2020 19:49

Nothing to do with sex, but I gave up a well paid job in London, sold my house and bought a run down cottage on the other side of the country. I was 32 at the time. It was the best thing I ever did, as I still live in this part of the world but it was very precarious at times due to lack of money. I learnt a heck of a lot about diy.
I was on the verge of a mental breakdown at the time. Getting out of a high pressure job saved my sanity. I think if I'd stayed I would no longer be here.

Patroclus · 01/03/2020 19:50

Sex isnt wild ffs, might as well tell me you had a dump in a hedge.

Dozer · 01/03/2020 19:51

No, she doesn’t have access to proper healthcare, v irresponsible!

Wild isn’t usually v responsible, sadly.

CaptainPovey · 01/03/2020 19:52

Shagged the publisher of Penthouse magazine

PhoneTwattery · 01/03/2020 19:52

Loads - including much of the above. I've definitely used it all up though because I no longer get excited about anything anymore...other than working my way through episodes of "Come Dine With Me" on Channel 4 online.

3catsandcounting · 01/03/2020 19:54

I was quite wild this weekend.
I'm 57, mother of two children, in their 20s, and I went to The 1975 gig where I danced the night away. Thousands and thousands of teenagers, and me.
'Twas fabulous. My knees hurt now.

BorneoBabe · 01/03/2020 19:54

@longearedbat Brilliant. So glad it worked out for you.

RedWineForMePlease · 01/03/2020 19:55

Had a threesome with a pair of twin brothers.

It was both wild and weird...

Ylvamoon · 01/03/2020 19:57

Many things... I moved to a country where I didn't speak the language for a guy... then I needed money ... but could not work there.... so I went to university instead (I was funded as a foreign student)....
I did drive across Europe with a 8 & 4 year old on my own for a 4 week holiday on a cheap campsite... once again, i didn't speak the language!
There is more, but that would be really outing! I usually do things first and think about it later. Grin

Mydogatemypurse · 01/03/2020 19:58

Ha ha c&a. Brilliant xxx

I think my worst was car theft, we got chased but had this old bunker thing near my old house (for the signal corp someone told me?) that we got down into, a real deep living quarters with tunnels. Got stuck in it with its big metal covering but luckily managed to get phone reception and got hold of my brother. When I was homeless I slept in it for a while.

Took too much heroin and tried to swim over the mile wide or so bay thing in the adriatic. Got about halfway and could hardly move, found and clung on to a rope eventually which took me to a posh boat. Fell asleep straight away after throwing up.
