A PETITE blonde knocked out a Coldstream Guard, hurled another into a disco sound deck and battered one of their wives at a dinner dance. Martial arts instructor Ashley Wolfe - who is just 5ft 3in - went berserk when male soldiers kissed and danced with each other, pretending to be gay. The 24-year-old Canadian, in a striking red satin dress, yelled "This should not be allowed in the British Army" - then went on a rampage, knocking over burly soldiers from the elite regiment like skittles.

Not me—I’m a southpaw. ;-)
Awesome ejection capture in that pic—that’s always the still-shot I ‘shoot’ for. ;-)
Do we have a Freeper by that name?
(If not, we should!)
Kitten fight club! I’d go to that.
Ouch, I’ve never run across another bad idea fountain before.
This is... weird.
They’re Coldstream Guards.
If they had laid a finger on her, they would have been drummed out of the Regiment for dishonouring it. I mean that literally, the ceremony and everything, even without a Court Martial. Banished to a lesser Regiment.
Sometimes it means being publicly humiliated by allowing yourself to be beaten up by a “slip of a girl”.
Sometimes it means “Birkenhead Drill”. These are the people who invented that, go look it up. That was the 73rd Regiment of Foot, who have had a rivalry with the Coldstream Guards since Waterloo.
I notice that her husband, when he added his 2c, got his nose bitten off in the course of being rendered hors de combat. They were... upset.. at having to take this from her. But they didn’t have to take it from him.
He’s a fine lawyer and a total gentleman. It’s good fodder for office humor.
I get the feeling that you’re not gonna let him ‘live it down’.
*chuckle*

Zoe, Thanks for explaining that. How that all went down makes sense now.
I did not know what the "Birkenhead Drill" was, so I looked it up:
On 26 February 1852 ... There were not enough serviceable lifeboats for all the passengers, and the soldiers famously stood firm, thereby allowing the women and children to board the boats safely. Only 193 of the 643 people onboard survived, and the soldiers' chivalry gave rise to the "women and children first" protocol when abandoning ship, while the "Birkenhead Drill" of Rudyard Kipling's poem came to describe courage in face of hopeless circumstances.
Quite so. With power comes responsibility.
I can just imagine the headlines if one of them had lamped her back...
Apart from the fact that she also decked one of the soldiers wives...
Well when she finds someone badder than her I suggest they marry settle down and raise a new race of super humans.
Are you serious?? Holy Mackerel - The Pogues are one of my all time favorite bands. First heard them on some alternative radio station in Boston back in college. The station played “ The Sick Bed of Cuchulainn “ and I'd never heard anything quite like it.
Over the course of a few years I picked up most of their CDs and managed to see them once in concert here in Boston. But Shane was not with the band nor had they advertised he was not going to be with them. Maybe Shane was tossed just prior to the tour. But who shows up on stage and says something to the effect:
” I'm Joe Strummer, Shane McGowen aint with the band no more, I'm fillin’ in - if you don't like it piss off! “
I could not believe it: Joe Strummer with the Pogues. I was far too young to have ever seen The Clash live so to have Strummer from another favorite group show up - well, I really was blown away.
Mostly I recall Phil Chevron in center stage performing “ Thousands are sailing “ which he had written. The entire tempo was different from how it was recorded with McGowen - and ten times better. Which makes sense considering the man who wrote it was now performing it the way he has envisioned to begin with.
By far the best concert I have ever seen. I'll bet your partner has more than a few funny stories!
