Hey, cheers guys.
Yeah, I've calmed down now! The whole story is this:
We were walking back from a club through this little quiet route, took a bit of a detour. It's a nice area, though. And I saw this guy, and you know, I love a bit of the drunken banter! So I chirped up, 'Alright, squire?', you know, having a bit of 'how's the weather'. So he pins me against this wall, grabs me around the throat...And he's going' Do you know what's behind that wall?', I replied: 'The cemetery?' and that's where he informs me I'd be ending up. After this went on for a good few minutes, he takes a step back into the middle of the road, removes his jacket and says:
'You boys got any weapons?'
Er...pretty scared at this stage! Eventually we managed to talk him down and he $%ed off. True to form, as he was walking away we shouted 'You tw@t!' and pegged it :lol: It's good to see that even in the most scary situation we managed to still be ridiculous!
Having said that, though, it was pretty scary. I've never really taken a beating in my life and I do try and avoid it, I'm a bit of a pacifist! But, you know, I guess one day I will get that beating I've been trying to avoid, it's just a bit scary when it's so random!
Just got back from town, reported it to the police and that. Not so much because of what happened to me - although, technically it's classed as 'common assault' - but more because he was giving us loads of grief for being students, and it was on one of the main student routes home, so I was a bit worried for other people if you get nutters like that out and about!
Thanks for the kind words guys, group hug?
