It started out ok
Myself and two mates decided a trip to the local boozer(s) for a traditional pub crawl before heading off to a nightclub was in order.

We sat in the front bar of a local hotel and then a gypsy wedding party arrived. Or to be precise, 2 couples that had just been thrown out of the pub next door that was holding the wedding.

After listening to them fighting for a few minutes and then starting to annoy the lone barmaid we decided to ask then politely to behave themselves, informing them that we were hotel staff and that they were perfectly entitled to stay if they behaved. (not quite the truth as only one of us was)

all was well for a few more minutes until one of them simply stood up, and proceeded to punch one of the others without so much as a bad word. We then rather briskly escorted them from the building and sent them on their way.

15 minutes later we heard the sirens. We then discovered one of the party (the one who had been punched) took out a 10 inch Bowie knife from his jacket and stabbed the other guy through the heart and walked away as if nothing happened.

To this day it still bugs us as to how we missed the knife, and why the guy did not do the same to one of us when we put them out. 3 hours filling in witness statements instead of getting pissed.
