Have You Ever Had A Mad Moment?

Today, l was driving along in my car listening to the radio, when the Bee Gees, 'How Deep Is Your Love' came on. I immediately had the urge to stop the car and dance in the road for the duration of the song. Then get back in the car and set off again!
It was a mad moment and it would have been great to do it but l think the men in white coats would have taken me away!!

Have you ever had a mad moment or have one you would like to do?
I'd love to hear...feel free to confide! l promise, l won't tell anyone!!

Jeez! You're a brave lass, Artangel.
Nothing wrong that Bee Gees song though, an absolute classic track. But dancing in the middle of the road...and not only that but it's a ballad - a slow song - so I'm asking who were you dancing with. Otherwise I'm thinking you practive Tai Chi or some otherworldy rather spaced out trippy style movement??

I always have one of my guitars in the cab with me. It's proved it's worth a thousandfold,when I've been waiting for my police escort to arrive,or to scout ahead shutting side roads,roundabouts,etc,so I can ease through busy areas. Circa three weeks ago,I'd got a HUGE-and impatient-queue stuck behind me as I approached Imminham dock. I had to stop while the police escort went ahead to close sideroads etc. The traffic behind me had to stop,which brought forth a LOT of adverse and very loud expletives...so I got my ol' geetar,stood on the back of the load [a massive smelting chamber heading to Zeebrugge] and played/sang "Shuddup-a your face" to the angry traffic stuck behind me. The copper on the offside rear escort bike very nearly had a fit!

This is one of many mysteries, see, in these days of absolute gender equality (apart from 3 or 4 lady directors who get less pay than their male counterparts), why are there never any Ladies in White Coats?

I suppose playing a guitar while driving is only marginally worse than texting.

Re: Have You Ever Had A Mad Moment?

I had one mad moment years ago when I was offered a ride in a glider. I thought they took off like any other plane, had I known we would be virtually catapulted into the air I would have refused the offer. One thing for sure, that mad moment has never been repeated and never will again. I was terrified.

I can imagine how you felt clumsy.
My scariest moment was being fitted in a harness and towed very fast up into the air over a big lake, by a speedboat. Round and round I went over the water, it took my breath away.

I have one I'd like to share but I'm waiting to get in touch with EDP newspapers for a copy of their reporting.


Thanks to Aysa I now have the phone number for the archives as this happened in 1999.

It was a bit surreal and tbh quite unbelievable unless you were there.

Re: Have You Ever Had A Mad Moment?

What's the hold up? l'm waiting here with baited breath for this surreal happening.
Tipin, Please don't think l'm being sarcastic, l'm looking forward to reading it!
