Smile Foiled a Robbery today

So there i was, arrived at Uni a little too early so thought i'd just pop to McD's and pick up a nice hot apple pie Taking the back exit of the stairs at the multi story i walked up the normally quiet lane towards the high street. When i'm nearing the end to turn the corner i hear a scream, followed by another scream followed by a few people shouting, around the corner comes a nutter, legging it with a pink handbag. Without thinking much more than that doesn't look like it's yours and seeing panic and fear on his face i pretended to ignore his fast paced 100metre dash When he was almost level and being angry for not being able to dump the biatch i unleashed a beautiful if i may say so myself, full body behind it push to his side and into the concret building pillar he goes. 100 metres a second to zero in less than a millisecond, out for the count too
Just awaking to the reality of the situation around the corner come 2 more nutters Thinking i was about to get my head kicked in, they thanked me for stopping the guy who just nicked one of their daughters handbag with an ipod mobile etc inside. Obvioulsy i played it up " He put up a good fight but he was no match for me " i replied. Shook my hand and then left them to sort it out with the specials who arrived interestingly enough a long 5 mins later.
Having spent the afternoon calming down, and thinking if i would of thought about it would i have done it again ? Who knows. But i'm just happy i helped someone out for once

P.S. I was buzzed in class this afternoon

Not only was this a fantastic deed, and a great story, but I love the language you used! I know it's English, which I try to speak, but you have such wonderful names for things! For instance, I'm sure when the particular "nutter" awoke he was thinking "oh bollux."

Nice job!
