Then I heard the snap of a flickknife; and knew that this wasnt a man worried about how people view him in the world. So there I was, alone in the East of London with a dude with a knife and a wallet full of cash and credit cards.
WHEN YOUR LIFE IS NOT YOUR OWN
Srsly tho, glad you're ok but the guy was probably talking on the mobile and that snap you heard was him closing it. He also realised he was late for his connecting train and decided to up the pace a bit.
Then he noticed the guy ahead of him running wildly, his limbs flopping around in a butterfly-like gait, flailing his hands in the air and making a strange high-pitched sound.
Poor bugger.

dude u live in australia
unlucky fonz, it's always scary getting some smackhead wanker shouting shit at you. Running like fuck is always the best option!
London has perhaps the highest proporion of scary shouty twats in the world. But that's the price you pay for its many intricate beauties!
Do DLR stations have fuck all security? I dont use it, but I just cant really imagine that shit happening at a tube station.
Still, you survived. Well in : D.

So I did the natural thing - I legged it as fast as I could, and my GOD can I run fast.
Well done. Smartest thing you could have done. Charge a gun, run from a knife.
Your story just goes to show that for all the namby-pamby idiotic legislation in UK about banning anything that could ever be considered dangerous (there's people who are lobbying to ban pointy kitchen knives), none of it does the slightest fucking bit of good to stop crime.

I mean...a good mugger will wait till he (or she) is close enough to their victim before revealing their implement of torture. This guy showed his hand too soon and it failed him.
I'll be sure not to make the same mistake when you get over here :cool:

That's stupid. It's not the weapons that kill, it's the crazies that use them. I keep a knife on me at all times because I'm paranoid (and hopeful) that someone will attack me. Kitchen knives could be great defense against intruders. Then again, so could a Beretta...
