next weekend is what is known as "rasin weekend" at my uni. basically, 3rd and 4th years can "adopt" 1st years, and this weekend is the climax. generally, it involves lots of alcohol and parties, then a large foam fight (yay!).
now, anohter part of this tradition is "rasin dares", where the parent gives the children something vaguely cruel and unusal to do (dress up in a scuba outfit and ask directions to the beach, go into local chip shop and ask to deep fry a pineapple, give out chocolate fingers to anyone who looks sad, stand on a corner and sing christmas carols, etc). i have 4 children. i need ideas! and i need them by wednesday...also, bearing in mind that i don't want the dares to be too cruel as one really isn't very confident...
so, can anyone think up anything cruel and unusual?
please?
thanks! 😀

Tell them to think up a penguin recipe to hand out with the stew.
Take the pot with some carton plates and plastic cutlery to the zoo. Stand outside the penguin enclosure and let them offer penguin stew to the punters. They can hand out the penguin recipes as well...

But back to the point: why not just get them to eat a smoked sausage supper at (greezy) Joes? Unless that's gone now too...
Either that or have an interesting conversation with a Yah. The cuelty there is that the task is near impossible...
Some immediate 'serious' options:
A dip in the pool at castle sands (hot flasks required thereafter)
Do the pier walk in a bathing costume
Re-enact chariots of fire
Do a bit of Karioke (sp?) somewhere or other
Go to some awful 1st year lecture outwith their actual course
Write an essay "My teenage angst" and post it on the hall notice board
Get a drink in the Stables bar (OK: not this one. Not wise)
and many many more...

portugese man-o-war soup?
i've been to the stables, it's actually quite nice. although i was playing darts and my dart hit the metal rim, bounced back and smashed a (full) pint glass. i -erm- haven't been back since... the keys is the one you've gotta watch out for though. the bar maid looks like she could break your arm with her pinky... although when we left thay said "come back soon", and it didn't sound too sarcastic...
