When I was at school and now at college my friends and I always went on random adventures. I am interested to see if anybody has an "epic stories" and such. I have loads.

I think the most long standing "adventure" me and my IT buddies ever did, was something that is now know across the whole college as "The Bench Wars". Originally, the IT block had a nice bench outside of it. However, a load of emo/scene kids from Art&Media stole it. The next year, we nabbed it and stuck it round the back and we sat upon it quite comfortably. However, the last year of our course we decided to move it out the front. The next week the chavs from Construction&Engineering stole it. Now, we took it back, but the emos from Art&Media now became aware that we now had the bench back in our possession and stole it from us again. We then stealithy nabbed it and put it behind the block so hopefully no greedy emos or chavs would be able to find it. However, later on, the emos eventually realised where we put it and nabbed it, we kind of half-arsedly tried to stop them but then let them carry it off. We then devised a master plan. Well, we just went to B&Q round the corner and bought the largest chain and the largest padlock we could find (they were like £15 each) and we went and took back that bench and chained it to the railing outside the block. The emos and chavs tried to steal it again. The emos put contact glue on it. Contact glue takes about 24 hours to dry and needs to be applied to both surfaces and so we just cleaned it off and the emos subsequently gave up. The chavs however, who seemed to think the bench was theirs despite the fact they had only had it for a few days kept trying to "brick the chain" as in try and use bricks to break it. Since each chain link was about half-an-inch thick and was either Tungsten, Titanium, or both (I can't remember) it didn't do anything. The chavs and emos then went about trying to steal other department's benches yet the college principal said the college principal said that they were not allowed to chain their benches, everybody started hating the IT block. That bench, padlock and chain are still there to this day (this was all almost two years ago) and I have still got one of the keys to the padlock.

When i was at my old school. It is school where you live there so you get pretty close to everbody. but a day where the school where going to the beach me and a few of my friends didnt want to go. So the teachers just told us that we where going to walk to the beach instead of drive. So we walked. and we walked the wrong way ended up on the beach when all the others where home again. but we didnt know that so we went looking for them. We walk for 2 hour on a very hot summer day without any water. Then we got into a city and started to look for some water. we ended up on a toilet drinking the best water i have ever got. At this time we where very tired and one of my friends had a bad leg so he couldnt walk anymore. so we used an hour getting our school to come and get us. we succeded in the end. But didnt get any food before 4 hours later. We later figured out that we had maked a wrong turn because our prinipal had told us to go that way...

Decided one night on the spur of the moment to go for a walk.

Walked a massive distance.

Got stalked by a creepy guy in a baseball cap first on foot, then by car.

Shook him off by crossing a bridge.

Walked back to college quick smart, looking over our shoulders all the way.
