Cock of the Rassau

The Rassau in Ebbw Vale is a tough neighborhood. With a relatively static population, reputation is everything.
To a young Mr Spider, his brain fueled by much Strongbow Cider, It seemed the perfect opportunity to raise his status and 'take out' Taffy the 'Cock of the Rassau'.
Taffy was stood at a bus stop with his back to Spider and cohorts, as yet unaware of their approach.
Through the alcoholic haze Spider, using every ounce of cunning available to him at the time, figured that a significant coupe could be achieved by stealthily approaching from behind and bringing his current, half filled, glass flaggen of 'bow, down upon Taffy's cranium as hard as possible.
In the moment after impact, Taffy's knees buckled.

But he didn't go down!

This is why he was the 'Cock of the Rassau'.
This is why you should always have a follow through or plan 'B'.
This is why the Henry V favoured longbow over strongbow at Agincourt.

When Mr spider recalls this tale, he says all he remembers next, was the feeling of lumps coming out of every part of his body.
