    According to US Airways on Twitter, one lady managed to use one of their airliners for that purpose. Well, it was either a model plane or one very large lady. :eek:

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    I dont want to sound like a badass, but i eject my USB without removing it safely...

    I felt very brave when I left a shop to stop a scumbag outside who was hassling an old man for money the other day :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,192 ✭✭✭Sound of Silence


    If that's the definition of bravery, OP, then I'm a coward.

    I sometimes don't wash my hands or wipe my arse after taking a dump.

    In my previous lives I was executed for desertion five times, shot in the back while running away from battle three times and used children as human shields four times.

    Totally craven...

    Not much you can say. "I'd ride barbed wire". Would you though? Really? Rough boxers with scratchy labels are about as far as I'd be going on the "stuff that gets near my nethers" front.

    I used to be a mad bas##ard. But got reincarnated in my 20s and now im boring as feic,but can still feel the braveness (madness) bubbling under the surface.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,512 ✭✭✭Muise...


    I've always been fond of the word 'foolhardy.'

    Family business held up at gunpoint (turned out to be starter pistol) and disarmed the gunman with a very unusual piece of sporting equipment which I wont divulge as it would identify me.

    Family business held up at knifepoint (Turned out to be a real knife :D ) and disarmed knifeman who was holding the knife to my brothers throat.

    I have no martial arts training and have never thrown a punch in my life. Still haven't.

    I'm either very brave or very stupid. You decide.




    Bravery doesn't come into it really. I reacted on instinct and didn't know I had it in me. However when you see a family member with a gun pointed to his head or a knife held to his throat. Whatcha gonna do??

    Every other similar business in the town must have been held up successfully about 5-10 times in the 20 year span of these incidents. We've been held up unsuccessfully twice. The guards reckon we established a rep that we were not to be messed with and with the second incident the lesson learned by the old guard of the towns criminal fraternity was refreshed for the new.

    Highly ironic given not one of us has every been in a fight or thrown a punch in our lifes. Mild mannered is an understatement :D

    I once ate After eights at 7.59pm. I'm so brave.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,689 ✭✭✭Karl Stein


    Shouted at a Bumble Bee the other day.

    Granted I screamed and ran when he flew toward me after I'd shouted at him but I did shout at him first.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87 ✭✭Thundering_Sky


    I watched the film Brave so therefore I am brave :P

    If you ate them after you ate something else, it doesn't matter if you ate them before eight. It was after you ate, so all's good.

    Last Thursday I bought a standard seating cinema ticket but sat in a premium seat. Even though the screen attendant was looking right at me. That's just how I roll.

    One day at work I found myself in a situation where I had nothing to lose so I started a fight against four scumbags of the travelling persuasion from the local halting site. I never mentioned to my parents what happened, but the incident got a write up in the local paper so they read about it there. I wasn't a member of any union at the time, but the union rep in the job went to the bosses and told them if it happened again there would be an all out strike, I heard about this the following day so after work I went to my local union hall and joined SIPTU.

    I doubt mentioning the "unusual" sporting equipment would give you away anymore than the rest of that post to someone who knows you.

    Dunno really. Lots of my friends say I'm brave in the reckless confidence sense of the word, but I tend to put that down to a complete lack of social awareness.

    Saved a child's life outside Pennies in Newbridge about 17-18 years ago. He ran into traffic and I dived to save him. A car jammed on the brakes and the bumper touched me at about 1 mile an hour. I shielded him with my body so not a scratch on the child. I was grand till about 15 mins later when I realized what I'd done. Then my knees went week.

    I'm not worried about the people who know me. I'm worried about the chap who was on the receiving end of the unusual sporting equipment. :D

    Not brave at all, not even a little bit. I've been known to visibly shake with fright after someone's scared me with a 'boo'.
