a mate of mine gave a Chav bloke a slap in Burger King the other week for picking on a student who wouldnt 'lend' him his mobile phone. It warmed my brittle heart to hear that he stuck his neck out for a total stranger in need. Anyone else been a hero recently?

Not a total stranger but
I took a young disabled lad to Thorpe Park yesterday. If you're disabled you and your carer can jump to the front of any queue there. Some rides have dedicated disabled entrances but for most of them you have to walk in the exits and right to the front parallel to the other people queuing for hours to get on the ride. So me and this young fella went straight to the fornt of one of the rides, got on it, had a fucking good time and then walked straight back down the exit when some dirty tracksuit wearing skinhead chav scummy twat shouted "Oi you, you fucking queue jumpers! Come here!"
So I walked over to him, leant over the barrier and said in my calmest tone, "Queue jumpers?! Just so you know, he's actually disabled. And if you shout at us again, i'll put your teeth through your cheek, you horrible cunt!".
I hate being right all the time.
I was in Sainsbury's the other day
and an old lady in front of me was 55p short for all her shopping. So she was about to start putting things back and I waded in with a heroic 55p and handed it to the cashier.
I felt a warm glow of goodness, like wat you get with Ready Break. She was quite happy too.
aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh
that happened in the inbetweeners
sort of
What?
They went to Thorpe Park? Lots of people do. Especially Chavvy ones.
no, the guy got annoyed at people queue jumping
and didnt see who they were, and it turned out they were disabled.
Oh right.
In that case, yes, very much like that.
i was in a wheelchair for a couple of months
and i did that Thorpe Park trip as well. great fun getting on and off rides as if you're the only one in the park - part of me did wonder why i needed the perk though, i wasn't going to die in the sunlight.
alas, no heroic scuffle to tell of. i've stood up for people when they're not around, does that count? oh, and i fended off another cat in my neighbourhood when it scared my own cat away.
You're right.
Going to Thorpe Parjk with a disabled kid is like having a Golden Ticket.
Why else do you think i took that little spanner? ;o)
this was with a trip with my old school
so i basically put my teachers through hell by taking them on the worst rides. good times.
This little fella wouldn't go on any of the scary ones, unfortunately.
Nor anything with strobe lights. He's no good at theme parks or night clubs.
The reason he needs to get to the front os because he'd fli out and "blow his tots" if he had to queue surrounded by people.
