Kirby - Liverpool Xmas '97
I had just been to see my Grandma (God rest her soul) and I was making my way back to central Liverpool to get the train back to York.

Whilst waiting on the platform a couple of the local feral population came up to me. "Can you spare us 50p for some fags?" 50p was a cheap price to pay to get rid so I gave them it and they went on their way.

5 minutes later the trainy tube thing arrives and I got on and sat down. The bloody thing decided to wait for 10 minutes during which time two lads with their jumpers pulled up to their faces got on. "Give us yer money"

I just ignored them and I recognised them as the lads from the platform. Anyway they kept repeating themselves until they got bored and the braver one smacked me across the face - causing my head to bash off the window.

Now they wern't big lads so I stood up and I was going to educate them, the hard way. The braver one got braver still and got a pen knife out. I thought, feck it, I'll give them the change out of my wallet and they'll leave it alone. So I get my wallet out and the non-knifey one grabbed it.

They rifled through my cards and emptied it of about £5 in change, threw it at me and ran off.

Now what they failed to realise that my Gran and Uncles had given me a bit of spending cash for me and my siblings - £150 to be precise. The dozy gits had missed the zipped compartment that held notes! (Although I probably would have risked a minor cut for that much money)

Sorry for lack of kung-fu etc - actually it's quite a shit story...sorry
