Hero

[Spiderman]

I'm not having a pop mate, just saying the whole "hero" word is overused imo and takes away from the real heros out there.

Anyway as we all know, its me who is the true Superhero so i can judge any hero to be lesser than myself and thus not only underserving of hero status but also needing to buy me an ice cream (choclate please) to even stand on the hero podium with me.

I dont need a pat on the back for my crime fighting...just the choclate ice cream

i am a hero............. for looking so dam fine mmmmmm hmm *wags finger

nah good on you, get a kick in for good measures


just reminded me i was going to take a cape to AR

WP - You are maybe not a hero but you sure as hell are special....!

[Wideboy]

im about as special as they get

We know! But we love ya for it!

fair play, well done - does deserve some recognition as you could have bottled it and walked away. paid to do it or not its gotta take some stones.

my girlfriend was put in a similar situation some years back by someone who tried to rob her by holding a knife to her throat. he picked the wrong lady. black belt in aikido...

next thing he knew he was on the floor with his own knife being held up to his throat being asked how he liked it. apparently he couldnt answer as he was too busy trying to hold back the tears

Not very heroic when its saving your own... (was gona say bacon.. but maybe not) ass. Thats just self preservation, human nature.

But good shout anyhoo! Well done! Hope you gave them the smack down.

She wasn't just saving her own bacon, but she is too modest to put all the details up here. I know what happened and I can say that for two young female officers to step in and save a man from his psychotic son is heroic whether it's part of the job or not. CS spray and batons were not stopping him, but Nic and her colleague managed to keep their heads, keep the intended victim safe and prevent themselves getting hurt in the process.

I think hero is a fair description....I also think it's one that covers the work of so many people in their day to day jobs. Mountain rescue, A&E nurses dealing with aggressive patients, police officers in dangerous situations etc......ALL part of the job, but they are no less the heros for staying in the job and keeping the rest of us safe and well. I know I wouldn't want to do it!

Thanks Cheryl, you are MY hero! *MWAH*

Well done.

The world is a nice place, it's just the people who spoil it.

Sadly its part of the job, ...!

I think if I worked somewhere where my colleagues treated me like that, I'd look for another job. Tough nick, that one.

Colleagues? Not sure if that's what V meant...
