Thats awesome that mate, truly. I doff my cap to you.simonr555 said:I caught an old woman at work a few weeks back when she was falling, took a dive to catch her from hitting the floor and hurt myself in the process.
The most amazing thing was saving a kid from bein hit by a bus in Manchester. She was only about 3 and her mum wasn't far behind. but she just legged it and ran into the road and this bus was travelling at a fair speed. I just ran into the road grabbed her by her arm and kind of just pulled her away into the air and onto the pavement. It was a natural reaction so didn't think anything of it but when I saw her mother's face and the way she thanked me and cried I just shrugged and said it was okay. It only hit me alter what I'd done.

Pigeonho said:I got custody of my son when I was 21. His mum was a nutter, it turned out, and he was taken off her when he was born, (I didn't know about him as it was a one night stand). Got a call from Oldham SS and was given the chance of applying for custody or putting him up for adoption. Admittedly I instantly went for the latter as I had no idea what the fuck was going on. Anyway over the next few weeks I went through what can only be described as hell, wondering what to do, how it would work and how I would cope but came to the conclusion there was no way I could give him up. That was May 99'. From then until March the next year I went to 'dad' classes, proved my worth, went through checks after checks and assessments etc and eventually got custody of him and he came to live with me. I promised to find him a mum and thats exactly what I did. He's now 11, about to go senior school and life couldn't be better. I'm proud of that.
