Those ****s who go out, get drunk, and fight...

I'm now one of them, and I'm thoroughly ****ed off and ashamed of myself in equal measure.

Rough timeline is:

People start on a friend of mine in a club for no reason

They, and my friend, are thrown out

We go out to join him, and are on our way home when we see them

He's so angry he runs towards them

I'm scared for my friend

I knock some bloke about 8 feet across the high street, have my knee on his chest and my fist raised, then realise how stupid it is, it's christmas, and let him up

I tell him three times to leave it, we're all sticking up for our mates, let's go home

He doesn't leave it

I swing for him and miss

He smacks me in the mouth and scarpers, which doesn't even slow me down because at that point I was literally more angry than I've ever been

He runs like the wind, up a white van and over a fence and is gone

I charge back to his mates, three of my friends hold me back from decking his mate, who keeps telling me he ran because he's 'not the hardest bloke in the world' (What, and I am?) and was probably just scared of me

I eventually cool down and go home

I feel like a proper, proper ****ing ****, even though I only did what I did because I was worried for my friend.

I know I had good reason to do what I did, but it's such a stereotype and to be honest I'm ashamed of myself. What kind of ***** goes out and gets in a fight on Christmas Eve? Me, apparently. I feel like some **** off Booze Britain.

I'm just glad he punched like a girl, otherwise I'd have a big lump on my face.

I'm not the fighting type, but when you mix blokes and alcohol, I suppose these things happen. I'm not even very drunk, which makes i t even more frustrating. I don't even have an excuse.

I can't say I'd have done any different to you, I know that "Uh oh, I'm not supposed to be one of these people" feeling all too well - it's not nice!

Try to forget about it and enjoy tomorrow!
 
You gave him a chance, he didn't take it so fair play for you realising your own mistake. However, you were defending your friend also..not entirely your fault.
 
just remember that your action may have allowed your friend and those that you fought to spend christmas with friends and family rather then in a hospital, in police costody or worst.

What a 'tard. If he was scared of you and you offerred to leave it, why didn't he? Bit underhand that, to hit and run.

Unlucky Mo.
 
I've just heard from a friend what happened inside the club and now I'm just disappointed at myself for not knocking all their heads off.

Another bunch of my friends have been in a horrible shouting match with some of their mates too... it's been a **** night for me and pretty much all of my friends - let's hope the new year gets off to a better start than this!

Fresh starts all round are in order, I think.
 
I'd have done the same. Don't be ashamed of it mate, decent people have to stick up for themselves sometimes, due to all the idiots around. Me i'm not a violent person but as a regular clubber, people are always starting on me. probably the "big man" thing - i'm 6'1 16st - i'm sure you wouldn't be one of the idiots that'll kick and stamp someone they just knocked down, in the head etc.. I must admit to having been in a couple of dustups myself this year, largely due to stupid little kids who cant handle alcohol getting rude/lairy then pushing it too far & getting aggressive. You can't let these people do it, as they'll just think they can get away with it all the time. Good on you. It's a shame it was xmas eve, but then that's probably why they were so drunk in the first place "aaaay its christmas yo lets all go and get mangled" - i stayed in this year but i'm going clubbing on new years eve.. should be fun :D
 
I just don't like it. It's unsavoury, and I'm annoyed I was involved. I don't think I'd do anything different faced with the situation again though, besides maybe not let the **** get up once I knocked him on his arse the first time.
 
Typical english, can't handle your drink. Think you are the big men around town. Go to france and Italy and see how alcohol should really be drank.

Typical stereotype, can't look further than your own nose. Think you know everything. Go to France or Italy and leave us alone :D



Just thought I should added something for the OP: the fact you feel terrible now says more about you than others may have seen of you tonight. Unfortunately, we can only act on the circumstances around us and I feel I may have acted in a similar fashion to yourself. And reacted in the same way afterwards.

You don't want to mess with me

I'll try and hit you, miss, then you can smack me in the mush and run off

That'll teach you

AWww there there Moh baby ;) Were they 5 year olds? :p

I don't think you're a bad bloke, but then again I know you - I think you did what most people would do :)
