Unbelievable bloke. Hope he gets the GC because actually fighting back if you are able could save many lives. So he set a good example and deserves all rewards he gets.

It comes down to mentality. My sister once intervened when a bloke was getting glassed by a deranged geezer in Beckenham when the pub was packed with big tough guys who were all too frightened to say a word.

You won't ever know what you are made of until that moment comes. I wish for you all that you never have to find out.

That reminds me of a story a friend of mine once told me. He's a rap music fan, and a fan of Snoop Dog in particular. His dad's a cop. His dad was doing security one night at a concert where Snoop Dog was one of the performers. He knew his son was a fan, so he contrived to meet Snoop after the show, and asked for an autograph for his son. Snoop responded, "F**k you bacon," and refused. The next day he told my friend what happened. He apologized for not being able to get the autograph, said he felt badly and so on. My friend just smiled, and said, "Dad, I'd be very disappointed in him if he'd reacted any other way."

An old mate from back in the day. Used to go about with Stuart and that lot. In fact, I think you may have drank with him on a couple of occasions. Was always a game bloke back then so didnt surprise me when I heard it was him.

Has been struggling lately, so glad he's got a few quid coming his way. Thoroughly deserved.
