Bit of excitement last night at our family Newsagents.
I was in the back store room gathering up some stock when I heard shouting from the shop floor. Legged it out from the back store and there was a Hoody wearing Scumbag with my brother in a headlock with his left arm and a knife to the brothers throat held in his right hand. Stupid LANGUAGE! didn't realise there was two of us on duty. I threw myself at him from behind and mimicing his shape grabbed him in a headlock with my left arm and grabbed his knife arm with my right hand, pulling the knive away from the brothers throat and swing him bodily around away from the brother. He scrambled out from behind the counter and at this stage I still hadn't seen his face because of the hoody.
What does the stupid LANGUAGE! do only turn around, wave the knive in my face and while looking at me straight on, says in an almost comical frustrated tone, "yiz, !@#$in' bas@#$%^". Like how dare you fight me off
As he is running out the door I am almost already starting to grin because after getting a straight on view of his face, realised that I knew him. Not his name but was 100% certain that I could pick out his mugshot up in the station. Sure enough after giving my statement and being shown some mugshots, I was able to pick him out in seconds with 100% certainty. My brother who wouldn't have gotten as good a look at him straight on because of his postion behind the counter during the event ID'd him of two possibilities
A lady customer who was in the shop at the time ID'd the same guy as me with 100% certainty too.
Going down to ID him in a line up this afternoon.
3 - Nil????
Oh yeah, Myself and my Dad fought off a gun toting robber and his mate about 12 years ago. I was only a teenager at the time and had just arrived back from a 10 pin bowling league and had my bowling ball in a bag at my feet in the shop while I browsed a magazine when the robbers burst in. Guess what I did with the bowling ball while yer man was waving the gun in my dads face? They didn't get anything in that robbery either.
Last year my old man fought off someone trying to Rob the shop with a wheel brace. (The guy had the wheel brace, my father was un-armed)
THREE NIL!! THREE NIL!!
