    I somehow sense that "yore ma" is gonna be posted :)

    Not sure on the bravery thing, although I did once save 2 girls from being mangled by a car, wasn't really bravery though tbh, I was walking behind them and grabbed them by the collars before they walked into the path of the car. The fecker in the motor was thundering along, still to this day dunno how the girls didn't notice it, they were both looking the other way and were literally walking right in to the path of the oncoming car, they would have been mashed :(

    I suspect that the truly brave things which we've done can only be acknowledged in hindsight. When you have to do something, you simply have to do it. That it may be brave at the time does not properly factor into a mind which looks at something which is necessary to do and doesn't wish to give it more of an 'exceptional' quality as it will make it harder to do it.

    Psychologically, a deep sense of normality and "unexceptionalism" is essential in order to do something which to the outsider appears brave.

    And of course when it is truly brave, and you realise it afterwards, it is harder to talk about it. :)

    prob 2 years ago when i was outside a club looking for my husband, couldnt find him, some girl came up screaming in my face that i was "riding her fella" and that "she didnt care if i was pregnant" that she was still gonna kick the crap outta me!

    so i (fulla drink and not preg obviously) started roaring at her saying i wouldnt touch her guy(who was standing behind her and looked like someone on crimecall) and she had the wrong girl and would wanna watch who she was screaming at!! She said sorry and walked off dragging her knacker fella behind her!!

    Sad i know but thats the bravest thing ive ever done. i know people have jumped in fronta cars to save people but thats all my sad life has done !!!!!!!

    Well done, climbed it years ago too, it was a personal accomplishment for me. To have done it after having a panic attack is amazing.

    I once was caught driving a milk float and if that milk float was to go over five miles per hour, a bomb would arm.
    If the float then fell below fives miles per hour, the bomb would detonate.
    There was also a terrifying incident with some cardboard boxes while I was driving, it was a scary day.
    Thankfully enough I survived, I put the brick on the accelerator.

    one time in a subway station in rome, i saw this lad try to pickpocket a fairly elderly woman. he had his arms folded and a newspaper kind of half held over one hand. he was just getting his hand into her handbag when i gave him a bit (lot) of a nudge with my shoulder and sent him on his ar$e. he got up shouting, the ould one looks at me as if i was a thug picking on the robber fella. the robbers big buddy, who i didnt notice until now, starts walking towards me to do something horrible to me. at this stage my missus drags me on to the train that just pulled in and off we went and had a lovely day.

    I posted in The Ladies Lounge - brave but stupid.

    I was younger and a little more foolish, brave some might say - nay I say, I dare not do it again.
