Well, I went out last nite to celebrate, my birthday and my successful completion of the second round of army entry interviews. Saying g'day to a mate, haven't been in the pub for more then 15 mins, and some stupid clown decides to have a go at him, a punch is thrown into my mates face, so naturally i step in, and this is the eventual result . . .

One very pissed of Aaron! Hes bloody lucky i know the publican and didn't want to cause any [Not on the floor please] for him with the cops, so instead of beating the snot out of him like i wanted too, i resorted to choking him out and letting security deal with it.
My question is, have any of you had similar stories of good intentions blowing up in your face?

just once, in school my mate had something going on with the girl from some other guy, so that guy got pissed about and decided to stab my mate with a sharp piece of metal, and i didnt like that so i hit the guy a few times he manages to cut me, then again i knock him out and he spends the rest off the day and night in the hospital.
as for my mate, he's alright nothing serius

It happens more often then you think. I've had it both ways, but I have a mate who's in the army, and is one of the best hand to hand guys in his unit. If I'm out with him and someone wants to start some [Not on the floor please] with me, I have no problem tagging out and letting my mate take care of the troublemaker.
It's more entertaining for me that way too, but if I had to, I would step in without hesitation.
Mind you, it doesn't happen a lot considering my buddy is about 6'2" and 180 lbs of muscle, and I'm 6'5" with about 220 of the same.
No one really wants to mess with us unless they're [tinkle] drunk.

Where do I start?
Most were caused by BigBadCol being ....himself ;)

Buddy of mine and I were camping with a few other friends a couple years back, and one guy there got [tinkle] drunk and decided to remember that I was dating his ex. So he starts yelling and carrying on and comes after me with a half-empty bottle of JD. My buddy looks at him and tripped him. Dummy lands right on his face and passes out (Luckily, the JD was OK).
So what do we do? ;)
We dragged him into his tent, and I went and grabbed a pair of pliers. Pulled the zipper pull out of his side of the tent and sealed him in :P
He made some godawful noise when he woke up a couple hours later ;)

Got a messed up phone call from my brother once, telling me he was ouside a pub having been beaten up by a bouncer. Raced down there and the fool was about to set about them with a tyre wrench in revenge. He nearly clocked me one so ended up having to call the police on my own brother......
Got rid of the wrench first though, so he only got slung in the cells to sober up - could have been much much worse. Me and the bro are ok now though, he realises he was being an idiot.

Strange, as I remember the wrench wielding maniacs in Nottingham are the Police? ;)
Sat watching the Bailey brothers beat the crap out of a ginger lad, hpummelling him unconcious, only to find out later it was mistaken identity, they were after me.

Due to growing up in the cadet forces all my mates joined the army, cops or fire service. So I've got alot of mates in the Notts Police. Only force I don't like is Manchester, due to there overuse of the baton.
We were there for a Fire Conference, and having trouble with the locals in the lapdancing club, we decided to call it a night. On route back to the hotel, the same local appeared out of a side street with baseball bats and put two of our guys in hospital. ten minutes after the Ambulance arrived, the Cops did only to lay into us with their batons. It took the Ambulance crews to drag the police off, stating they had the wrong guys. We never got an apology.

That's shocking! I've only used my baton three times in ten years of service, and never had to use my CS (though have come very close). Been in some sticky situations too, but either talk them down or just get them on the floor, that's the quickest way.

Only ever hit one bloke with my batton, bent the sodding thing in the process as well :blink:
Always find it funny when your dealing with some pissy bloke for something minor and he's coping it sweet, there's no aggro and your about to let him walk. Then his sober mate jumps in to give him a hand "coz he's my mate" and gets arrested himself for being an absolute numpty, while the original bloke walks away shaking his head.
