I just spent four days in a field in Perth & Kinross with 85,000 mad b*stards from all over Scotland, I'm lucky to be alive!

Too many games of danger can!

oh yea, how could i forget
once you live here for nearly 18 years, then you kinda get used to everything that could kill you

by nickyf1 Thu 18 Jul 2013 - 15:56

Surely it's not so bad in the cities?

Scotland has wildcats and adders, but you'll never come across them unless you go out looking for them.

Also, not deadly, but since this thread is really just about Australia:

Elderly ladies driving SUVs while chatting on their cell phone.

Teenage girls driving SUVs whether or not they are chatting on their cell phone.

A few months from now, black ice.

Honestly, if you live in the states... Anywhere in the states... Here are the top 3:
1. The fast food you eat which causes heart disease.
2. Your Car
3. The beer in your fridge/ the pain killer prescription you might have in the medicine chest
Honorable Mention: The gun you keep in your house.

by LMR Deftone MX Tue 30 Jul 2013 - 22:09

It's the combination of the 3 (or 4) that causes the problems. Fat, drunk people trying to drive around this town is always a huge problem.
