Last night a friend of mine from work called and said they were really looking forward to having me back when I'm ready. He then asked if I was up for having a drink or two at the pub. I asked my fiance (not for permission, but out of mutual respect) and she told me I need to go out and have fun. Well having been told I've become manic lately I said I would be there in about twenty minutes. Once I got there I found my friend and several coworkers. We were about an hour into our fun and I was about three Irish whiskeys on the rocks in when a young lad accidentally spilled his drink on me. I told him it was ok and asked him to be more careful. To witch he responded "F**k you criple" well my Irish temper got the best of me and I jumped out of ky seat like my arse was on fire. Nose to nose I informed him I took offense to that kind of talk while ladies were present. At witch he swung at me. In his drunken stupor he was pretty slow so I put my shillelagh in the way of the hit. He then became more aggressive and tried to bulldog me. So I cracked him on the head with the business end of my blackthorn. He instantly fell to the floor and had a nice sized knot for his trouble. I waited for the police to arrive and gave my statement and they took witness statements. They then decided my actions were in self defense and asked if I would like to press charges. Seeing the look on the lads face I said "No he's learned his lesson." I paid for him to have a cab take him home and I bid my coworkers a good bye and went home feeling sorry for the lad.
