An immense "Thank You" to a modern day Superman.

I hate to point this out but superman was a journalist not a taxi driver. The taxi driver was probably just looking for a way to feel someone up inappropriately.

Yeah, you should report the incident to the Guards as he'll not get into the States with a conviction of GBH hanging over him.

Looks like you have him by the balls OP (again perhaps :eek: ? *)

* jumps on the speculation bandwagon

Did we not establish earlier that the guy who gave out the digs is not going to The States?

Anyway was walking home with one of the lads when we said we should have a play fight. Not taking him seriously, I found myself on the ground with him pushing his palm with full force into my nose trying to break it. Suffice it to say, he was removed from my social circle with immediate effect. The crazy fcuker.

Let's play fight! that's just strange-what did you think would happen

The rest of us grabbed the guy who'd gone mental, and held him back, but he was kicking out like a demon trying to get at the guy across the road.

His legs must have been huge for him to be kicking all the way across the road.

We need closure!

Also, get well soon OP.

Ginormous legs, or a very small road? Press the red button to vote now.

It's likely he will be very ashamed without the effects of alcohol on his highly inflated but possibly damaged ego. Hold your head high, it's his fault totally. The guy is a nutter and his behaviour is appalling. Ignore him - unless he apologises of course.

Facebook eh - I told ye all it was the root of all evil

Keep in mind that if you hit him, he'll report you, and you'll be the "bad guy"...

Also bear in mind, chicks dig bad guys.

Sounds like he was building up resentment against you for some reason. Quite often there are people in circle of 'friends' who may not like you that much but don't much but don't want to make an issue of it for the sake of the gang. I know there were people I hung out with who I didn't particularly like but as they were friends of friends and in any case it was just my prejudice and not their fault. I certainly wasn't going to beat the crap out of any of them, not least because I would lose that fight.

But you never really know what men think of you sometimes for the simple reason that we're not women and feel no need to express our feelings. In a previous job there were several of us who often met up after work for a few drinks. It was all very easygoing. But suddenly one of the guys turned a bit unfriendly. I wasn't that bothered really. Eventually my best friend in the group found out why. They other guy a bit younger than me and apparently looked up to me a bit, which was a surprise for one. He should have higher standards! Later he felt I had somehow insulted him in some way and he became annoyed at me. All of which I was oblivious too needless to say.

So there I was in trouble with someone and all I'd done was be friendly with everyone around me. Then I felt bad like I'd done something wrong.

But at least he didn't try to beat me up for it.

It sounds something like that with the OP's friend. He was probably building up a resentment for a while and then some throwaway comment with drink involved probably set him off.

There are two ways of dealing with it of course. One is to meet him and discuss your feelings on the issue. Ask for an apology and listen to his explanation for his violent and unacceptable behaviour. He will undoubtedly say sorry and promise never to repeat. Then you can hug and shed a tear or two...........................billox...........if you were women you might. But you're not women. You're blokes. So the best option is to confront him somewhere safe and tell him he's a psycho and tell him he's effin' lucky you're not pressing charges for assault and if it wasn't for the taxi driver he could be facing more serious charges. He might apologise but most likely he'll blame you for the whole thing. Even if he does apologise he can no longer be trusted.

You're also going to have to consider how to deal with meeting him again. Frankly I'd blank him and if you're well in with the group get him frozen out. On the other hand it might turn out no one likes you and he was just the official spokesman as it were.

But I'd avoid him thats for sure. I would also report him for assault. This is not playground stuff. He's dangerous.
