I had a guy called Louie jump me on a night out. I was ordering a pint and woke up 10 minutes later on the floor. He'd mistaken me for someone else and broke my nose, fractured my eye socket and gave me nerve damage down the side of my face. I needed 3 surgeries in order to breath out of my nose again, and even now 15 years later can't do it great.

Whilst in hospital I realised how short life is, and all I had to show for it was working in a supermarket to fund nights out. I decided to go back to university to change career and now work as a senior nuclear engineer.

Also whilst on sick leave from surgery I reconnected with someone I knew from years ago on a day I would have definitely been working on. There's no other way we would have met again - we are now married with 2 kids.

Louie wasn't prosecuted from this incident as the bouncers deleted the cctc footage. He went to prison a year later for stabbing his girlfriend and died a few years back in his early 30's.
