I was at a friends party, enjoying the evening and drinking a fair bit, when some pikeys turned up univited. At first, they seemed like nice people but after an hour or so they started shouting at my mate, who for this story will be called Joe. In a (eventually vain) effort to diffuse the situation I took Joe outside the room but the pikeys followed. The person's whos house it was' mum then told Joe that he should leave (unfairly, as he didn't provoke it) and so he departed, understandably a bit upset. I went with him to try and calm him down, but the pikeys followed.

Another of my mates followed just ahead of the pikeys in an effort to stop them, but to quote unknown: "get out of the way or we'll fucking kill you".

So it ended up as me and my mate (who wasn't going to fight due to being drunk etc.) vs six pikeys. They repeated the statement to me when I stood in their way, but I didn't let them past because they probably wouldn't offer my friend such a choice.

So I now have a broken nose and a minor head injury (concussion at the time + throwing up because of it), but I gave one of them a massive black eye, threw one of them into a hedge and split someones lip rather badly.

For those who TL;DR'd that, heres the summary:
I took a broken nose and a head injury to stop 6 pikeys from beating the shit out of my mate.

Anyway, enough of my ramblings, do any of you have your personal tales of heroism that you would like to share?

Drunk fighting... I'm sorry doesn't really sound like heroism. Besides heroism sucks! You gain nothing and lose everything, thats why I really haven't committed any heroic acts. Call it selfishness if you want ;) .

I saved someone from burning to death earlier this year, it was about half 2 in the morning, when I heard some screams, went outside to find some guy on the floor unconscious but completely engulfed in flame, I ran back to the house and grabbed a dressing gown, soaked it in water and put it across his body, and the fire was soon out. I had to keep a saucepan of water next to him, as he kept reigniting, for some reason, soon the ambulance was there and I went home and drank half a bottle of whiskey.

Uh... i recycle! Hmmm...and i´m a blood donor! Other than that, nope. Not much of a hero. Never been in a situation where someone needed me to become one.

A 'pikey' is a loud, obnoxious youth, characterised by the donning of a hoody, constant smack talking and being unable to be offended without the presence of at least half a dozen 'mates'.

Thats very brave of you pretty foolish as well as if in they had been serious about killing you they would have (unless youre the secret love child of Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris or they were pathetically weak and had no knives) as 6 on one is pretty poor odds, but brave all the same bravo!

Yeah I got nothing im afraid except saving the world from certain destruction at the hands of evil, that was in a game though so probably dosent count.

Damn, that's pretty much what I had inferred.


I was really hoping for roving gangs of anthropomorphic fish in the OP's area.

I stopped a rape once, guy drugged a couple of girls I knew and tried to get them alone, fortunately one of them was with it enough to call for help. Stopping it might have been a bit heroic but it probably stopped being that with how badly I messed the guy up.

I also lifted an electric wheelchair on and off a bus from the hospital near me with a messed up back and shoulder because there hadn't been a disabled access bus for 4 hours and people were ignoring the guys pleas for help.

I also 'rescued' some drunk chicks from a locked up castle.... for real.

Well we do get those in the U.k, but pikeys are the main problem.

Bravo to you, I doubt I could do that, I'd probably phone the police then attempt to get my friend to run.
