Busiest weekend of the year, so they say.

And it starts with me sat in hospital having 9 stitches in total for a stab wound. Still awaiting the Police to turn up, its only been 4 hours since

Picks up 2 lads from a pub, goes to destination in the next town,
"Just pull over here mate" and as i do the lad in the passenger seat pulls a knife and tells me to get out, Hero boy here thinks 'No way' and a minor in-car wrestle ensues, in which i end up with 3 stitches in my hand and 6 in my head.


Take care guys

Hope your well enough to carry on working, think of all the sympathy tip's you'll get, it might make some of the soreness go away. :?

btw, why dont you get a camera fitted, even if it's a false one it really does work as a deterrent. Once they see the notice on the dash it calms them down. You can say it's connected to the radio and images are stored on a database at the office!
I find it stops the scum even thinking about causing hassle.
Just make sure the notice is visable enough, mine's on the dash and another stuck to the overhead storage box so it can easily be seen in the back.
Sometimes if they look a bit dodgy i leave the interior light on a bit longer to make sure it's got a good piccy and they've had a chance to see the notice (real camera).

I like people who stand up to the idiots, but I certainly wouldn't advise it.

Thankfully the result wasn't as bad as it could have been :-|
