Sorry to read about the big toe, I hope it doesn't take as long to heal as my son's broken ankle did! He broke it on June 25th last year - x-rayed and given the boot for four weeks, x-rayed and plastered for four, then x-rayed and back in the boot, when he was told that he'd damaged it so much he may as well walk on it! Several more x-rays and scans followed plus pointless physio appointments which didn't help at all, then when we finally decided to make a complaint he miraculously got an emergency appointment to see a specialist for an operation which took place in early January.
Bone was taken from the good side of the ankle and grafted into the break then the whole lot was screwed together and put back in plaster for another six weeks. Even when that was removed he was still on crutches for a while before he could walk - he was off work for nearly eleven months altogether and even now he still has trouble with it in that it aches when he's done a shift at work, and that ache is now affecting the whole of his leg and into his hip.
On a lighter note, he did end up with two of the boot things, so with his black jeans and both boots on he does a fair impression of Robocop!

I hope she gets a good pasting she deserves it.

It's a bummer alright and I feel for you!
If you're there when it happens, the system can cut you a lot of slack if you retaliate; but that goes completely if you're not there at the time!
As per other advice, get the authorities involved. Other retribution can lead to a tit-for-tat situation which escalates and in which there are no winners.
With a broken bone, it's a definite GBH offence even if it was "accidental" and the attacker "didn't mean it". (They always plead that they never do!)
The person you have to support is your missus and if she is asking for you to let it drop then you have to do it; no matter how unmanly that makes you feel.
Again, I feel for you, but you have the ****** end of the stick for sure!
BTW
On the subject of physical disputes, I refer you to Homer Simpson for some excellent advice:
"If you get into a fight you should throw yourself on the ground, scream, cry, beg them not to hit you and tell them that you're a haemophiliac. They will call you a coward and turn away in disgust ...
... and that's when you get them!"
Be patient. Vengeance is a dish best served cold! :thumb:

My dad told me something g similar when I was younger. To wait it out and get them back when they least expect it. I let one beating go unchecked for a year before I caught the kid by himself and gave him a pasting. But we were 11 back then and the world was a different place.
I'd be effin furious and very likely to go out of control....
She wants to drop it as far as legal action is concerned, forget it and move on. I respect that. Started looking for a new pad today. It's getting rough around here and there can only be more of this crap in the pipeline. But... I have the scumbag's name. Somewhere down the line my revenge will be swift, total, and unexpected. Guaranteed.
good move gunge...
I lived in a tidy by day - dodgy by night place....
My car was broken into for the 4th time in 4 years on new years day. The police turned up and wished me a happy new year!!! WTF!!!!
so...
and I only moved 5 miles!

I think the face on "Ross Kemp's" Tee Shirt is the late John Inman. If so, I once attended a theatre in London where John Inman was performing and 15 minutes into the play, a couple tried to sneak into their seats on the first row.
No chance!
John Inman saw them, immediately stopped the whole show, explained "the story so far", got a fellow actor to come out of a cupboard to explain who he was and then asked the couple if they were comfortably seated and could he please continue!
It's a great example for Gunge. John Inman's revenge was non-violent and instantaneous, but I've never forgotten it; and I doubt very much if the two people concerned have ever been late for another show!
PS
How's the Big Toe getting along Brumbrew? aunsure....
With all the sympathy and understanding that we've offered it must be cured by now!

It's still very tender. I need to rest it more. Unfortunately I'm still at work. Can't afford the time off

Hoping for the best all involved in sad situations in this thread!
Well since the violent incident documented on here, the missus and me have been extremely busy... the old house is history and we're now settled in a very, very nice bungalow in a very, very nice semi-rural location where it's so quiet you can hear a pin drop at any time of day. One last job is to rig up my monster stereo and dig out my Anthrax CDs for sound testing. That'll shatter the rural idyll and we will go from being the good people of our old neighbourhood to the villains of our new one lol. But ye, it's great and just shows what change you can effect if you put your mind to it. The events of just over 2 months ago now seem very distant. And I still have the scumbag's name...
Its a police job Gunge own retribution is dangerous especially as you have just intimated it on social media (here). Let the police sort this out as broken bones it is ABH is a serious offence. Hope you get it sorted scumbags everywhere
just read the last post your well out of it now Gunge all the best
Hi!
Pleased to hear that your move has been succesful.
Perhaps you should brew a beer that's packed with laxative and make a gift to the scumbag - revenge comes in many forms.

Perhaps you're right... out of it all now, maybe just let the dust settle and move on. The guy will no doubt be the architect of his own demise but not before incurring more victims. And moving to a nice place is proof positive that good things can come out of bad, however unlikely it seems at the time.

It'll fade in time.
Contenet yourself with the fact that the scumbag will likely never have anywhere nice to live as you have.
I know who's position I'd rather be in.

I cut the end off my thumb 3 weeks ago and had it reconstructed, I managed to get a brew on a week afterwards, I had a bucket full of green hops rapidly deteriorating and couldn't bear to see them going to waste. It's called Singlehanded Brew.
I just want to say good luck with your situation.

Gunge, you now know you can report this tosser to plod without fear of retribution. If nothing else his name will be on file for when he tries it on with someone else.
