So... Who fucking wants it? You know what I'm talking about - let's be having ya then. Outside now twat! Escalate your dukes. And what are you fucking looking at? Yeah, I'm talking about fights - and whose had one?

Have you ever beaten the living shit out of anyone? Did you ever put the boot in? When was the last time you headbutted someone to the point of hospitalisation? Have you ever been brutally battered? I think you should tell ilx exactly how hard you are, who on this bitch is the most nails stroke dangerously unstable? I want examples though, not just the cheap "I'm nails, see you Latvia." Who are the kickboxers (there's always kickboxers), and is anyone an Akido Master? It doesn't count if you haven't ever smashed someone's face in (or had yours pounded) - this thread is for those with blood on their love/hate tattooed knuckles.

Mark C to thread!

Here I am!

My gf is pretty good at aikido, but she's a lovely, gentle person.

I have the occasional violent fantasy, almost always revenge-orientated, but who doesn't. I'm a bit of a bruiser on the football pitch, to compensate for my lack of skill. But no, I'm a weak, soft lad really. I can't make my face into a fist.

― Mark C (Mark C), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 09:54 (twenty-two years ago)

I've never thrown a punch in anger nor had one thrown at me.

I'm a lover, not a fighter.

I'm a bit of a bruiser on the football pitch,
James to thread!
I, of course, am the eternal lover, I'm pink, what did you expect?

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 10:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Ne neither. Those things you can't know if you've never been in a fight, I might never know.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 10:04 (twenty-two years ago)

I have never been in a fight. I did get punch right in the eye once because I called across the street to someone 'oi fatty' but I was probably asking for it. It was really embarrasing (sp wtf?) because he was years older than me and my mum insisted in going round to his house and shouting at his mum even though I was the aggressor / it was my fault.

― David. (Cozen), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 10:10 (twenty-two years ago)

where's yer tool?

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 10:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I put someone in hospital with suspected cranial trauma!

What do I win?

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 10:14 (twenty-two years ago)

A punch in the face.

― David. (Cozen), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 10:14 (twenty-two years ago)

i haven't been punched since school days, nor have i thrown a punch since then. i am utterly relieved about this and pray it continues. i gave up the idea that i would be remotely good in a fight long ago. i may not have much in the way of fingernails but i am not afraid to bite or pull hair.

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 10:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Been punched a couple of times, once for having bad hair. As a critique, it was very clear and concise.

― Mark C (Mark C), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 10:19 (twenty-two years ago)

I thought you were a bald cunt?

― David. (Cozen), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 10:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I have got a battering. Punches, bottles, a kick or two in the head, six against one. Not the happiest evening of my life.

― Tom (Groke), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 10:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I haven't always been a bald cunt. At the time I was a floppy curtains wearing public school cunt.

― Mark C (Mark C), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 10:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Serious answer, I had an experience a bit like Tom's a few years ago... five on one, no actual weapons involved thankfully. It was right down the bottom of my road and left me too freaked out to venture down there for weeks on end.

Since then I've been remarkably lucky to avoid any physical violence all things considered.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 10:23 (twenty-two years ago)

I've been in about 4 fights ever, all when I was in primary school. I lost one, but won the others. I remember getting the kings chair after one particularly gruelling fight against this guy called Padr*ig Duffy, it was a special moment.

He still lives nearby and I see him around sometimes, he had flaming red hair and the entire yard was singing "ding-a-ling-a-ling your head's on fire". He lashed out at the nearest person which was me, the yard we were in had a metal fence about ten feet high around it like a concentration camp, I can still remember the crash as he fell against it.

I think this is the only fight I can remember not feeling nervy and edgy after.

I was beaten up coming home drunk one night about a year ago for blowing a kiss at some fat scumbag in the chipper, he bottled me and then smacked me against a wall, I think I'd been giving him shit during the whole queuing process so I probably deserved it. I really didn't think he'd batter me though. It didn't hurt at all at the time, I was more embarassed that my friends could have been beaten too cos of my big mouf.

Last incident which happened was also in the chipper, to keep up the Mike Skinner anecdotes, I smacked my friend John on the ass for some fucking silly reason, and this guy in front of him turned to me and was like "why did you hit me".

It was weird, he kept trying to start a fight and I was just trying to defuse the situation, his friend was quiet and shy looking. He was following me and John home and getting more angry when 5 of my friends came around the corner, he still kept at it and we were all laughing at this stage.

The whole incident was surreal, if we were some other group of lads he could have got battered within an inch of his life, and even now there's a part of you that thinks we should have. Not for long though I guess.

Once my pal Wolfgang said that "Walking On The Moon" by The Police was a shitty tune so we had Helltime put the New Bomb Turks on the boombox and beat each other up on the patio. I ended up lockeing his arms from behind and instead of smashing me backfirst into the brick wall he wound up pitching forward onto the cement at which point we broke and had some more pizza and beer.

At the J4 FAP I apparently injured Bryan with a couple of misplaced knuckles during an impromptu moshing session.

Other than that I haven't been in a fight since I was 14. From 12 to 14 I got in fights on an annual basis, right around the middle of springtime. Kids used to pick on my friends and I a lot and I got tired of it.

― Millar (Millar), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 10:27 (twenty-two years ago)

remind to never go for fish n' chips with you Ronan ;)

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 10:28 (twenty-two years ago)

im a nightmare basically - i have avoided a kickin or a confrontational (none sporting) incident for a few years which i am glad about but jesus i have had my fair and unfair share.

now i save my anger for ron chopperesque football challenges and ref swears, i regualrly come close to a red card and i swear its my go on i couldnt give a flip attitude that keeps it yellow (i am not proud of this i just find self control on the football field really hard - mainly because i am a work horse and i find team mates let me down)

scrapping wise its not big or clever but i may take maui thai boxing back up because that looked cool and i am pretty bendy with pointy knees and elbows.

im off to find a kitten to snuggle to to regain my sensitive side

"i have a fire within me i am comfortable unleashing"

― Chip Morningstar (bob), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 10:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, and I once punched a wheelchair-bound pensioner in the face. But hey, like it's my fault she wouldn't put out?!

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 10:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Grandma will never forgive you for that

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 10:54 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm not a fighter at all but I've had a few scrapes when I was younger. Usually I bluff my way out or laugh it off but the worst I can remember is about eight years ago outside a bar in my small hometown. I was leaving with a bunch of friends and as we clambered into the car, we spotted my friend D. having a word with these chaps who were casually kicking the crap out of another car parked up, which happened to belong to an acquaintance of ours. Next thing we know, D. is on the floor surrounded by these four chaps so we all get out and run over. Everybody is pretty pissed and stupid boy adrenaline is hanging high in the air so we pick D. up, who has been butted, and is bleeding from his nose and try to get him into the car as these dudes are screaming at him "You’re walking away, you’re walking away." Well, D. has had enough drink to convince himself that this taunt is an unacceptable affront to his masculinity so he refuses to get in the car. The girls with us are trying to ram him into the back and E. and A. are already in the front ready to zoom off, and then I realise the only thing between the D. who is still screaming abuse, the car and these four advancing young men is me. So I’m stood there looking at them, like "errr…" and they are clearly all real fired up and still giving it the talk. Next thing I know one of them is swinging at me so I duck it and instinctively whip round a right, which connects. All hell breaks loose as all four of these lads pile in so D., E. and A. are clambering back out the car to help me out. Fists are flying everywhere, the girls are screaming at us to stop, and my brand new Kangol gets knocked off so now I’m really pissed. Amongst the melee, fending off punches and throwing a few of my own, I manage to locate my hat and putting it back on I look round to see A. has got one of these chaps on the floor and is sat astride him repeatedly smashing his face into the pavement, and intermittently holding him up by his hair and asking him the obligatory "have you had enough yet, mate?" I’m quickly kicking the same chap in the chest as his head reconnects with the slabs. The bouncers steam in and pull us all apart and quietly ask A. to let this dude up. When he managed to stagger back on his feet, I felt sick – he was bleeding bad and it wasn’t pretty. A quick exit seemed the way forwards so we zipped off to a friend’s house to clean the blood off us. We were all pretty silent and harrowed – none of us are fighters at all and we were worried that A. had done the dude on the floor some serious damage. I couldn't believe I had actually been putting the boot in like 30 minutes previously, it made me feel ill. We drove past the bar a little later to see what the score was and there were Roswell’s and Ambulances all over the shop so we started to feel very sick, thinking maybe the dude who A. introduced to the concrete was bust up real proper. We spent the night running through horror scenarios but the next day in the local rag, there was a story about a scuffle at the pub where we had been and it turned out after we’d done one, the four chaps had started on the bouncers. Bad idea, one of the doormen had knocked two of them out cold. That was the last we heard of it and I think, the last time I had to throw an aggressive punch.

― Alex K (Alex K), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 11:17 (twenty-two years ago)

heavy (still tho, never start on a bouncer - by all means give them some lip but whoa there with the fists)

― james (james), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 11:25 (twenty-two years ago)

I think ramosi wins this one.

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 11:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Gettin' in a fight, very rarely, happened as a teenager. And I never was the initiator.

...Mark S - have you ever punched anyone?

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 11:34 (twenty-two years ago)

He punched himself when he realised I'd already written his book. ; )

― David. (Cozen), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 11:44 (twenty-two years ago)

He punched Steven Wells!

― Larcole (Nicole), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 11:52 (twenty-two years ago)

...Mark S - have you ever punched anyone?

He punched Steven Wells! --Larcole

okeh...

(DAVID - have you ever punched a Goliath, btw? ;-)

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Everyone I've ever seriously punched or kicked was someone I was dating, besides this girl who scratched me in the 6th grade who I then beat to shit. I'll fight you all.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:18 (twenty-two years ago)

I'll fight you all. -- Ally

Sorry to disappoint, but I for one won't fight girls. Out of the question. :)

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:23 (twenty-two years ago)

i'll fight girls, but only with copiously feathered pillows

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:25 (twenty-two years ago)

That won't stop me from kicking the crap out of either of you. Let's be serious here.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Have you seen SteveM? He's, like, seven foot tall!

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:27 (twenty-two years ago)

aside from a tussle or two with my brother, and a middle school slap thing, i don't get into fights. I'm also 6'1" & 240lbs, and most people tend to be a bit smaller.

and obv, there's a coupla you here that i wouldn't mind "wrestling" with.

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:32 (twenty-two years ago)

haha have you seen me when I'm pissed off?

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:35 (twenty-two years ago)

not yet. shall i insult jarvis cocker to your face, then?

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Last fight I got into was a couple of years ago in a bar. She hit me first.

― Texas Sam (thatgirl), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Nah, Kingfish, it takes a lot more than that to get me really pissed off.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Let's be serious here.

Better let's not.

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, I don't do serious well anyway.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:55 (twenty-two years ago)

re swells: i did!! well, no i slapped the back of his head

so he punched me in the arm to "teach me respect for violence"

at college a friend kept putting snow on my head after i asked him to stop so i punched him in the nuts: this was overkill a bit but it worked so whatever

― mark s (mark s), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:00 (twenty-two years ago)

well now, mark s, i've got back some belief in yer finishing all those books, yay!
;)

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:06 (twenty-two years ago)

finishing them ALL!!?? waaaah!!

― mark s (mark s), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:09 (twenty-two years ago)

I think the last violent interaction I had with anyone was when I was 13 and I was walking home from my friends house through a park, and these kids I knew from school were taunting me. As par for that era, I walked away attempting to ignore them. They started throwing rocks at me. I started booking, but FUCK a dead end!?!? A FENCE!?!?!? They caught up to me still throwing rocks, finally I kinda flipped and ran at 'em and kicked the one biggest dude in the face, it made a funny sound and he screamed, and I ran away. The end.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I tended to be the kid who got picked on, then fought back, then got beat up worse.

― bnw (bnw), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:17 (twenty-two years ago)

at college a friend kept putting snow on my head after i asked him to stop so i punched him in the nuts: this was overkill a bit but it worked so whatever

And it probably taught him respect for violence.

― Larcole (Nicole), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:21 (twenty-two years ago)

My proudest moment was kicking back on a bully's kneecap when he had me in a full nelson. I even said "I'll give you 5 seconds to let go of me..." Such drama! (I should have done this.)

― bnw (bnw), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:22 (twenty-two years ago)

I haven't been in a fight in a few years, but on my mens league hockey team it was pretty much my job. I have fake teeth and a beat up nose. I also can push one of my knuckles half way down my hand. Yay.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:24 (twenty-two years ago)

My sister and I spent from the ages of 6-12 in daily hand-to-hand combat. Only rules were: she couldn't punch me in the stomach because of my scar, I couldn't kick her bad knee in. I was also a kicker and scratcher in school fights; this guy who kept pinching me in the lunch line was warned to stop and I kicked backwards and hit him in the nuts. He was wincing and rolling around on the floor and I was all, 'look, I *did* warn you'.

I am therefore the tiny person who does not look fighterish but my sis was 5'10 at the age of 13 so I can fell big game, suckahs.

I got in a huge fight with some floppy curtains boy at a Strange Fruit night (I told him to leave me alone THRICE and when he wouldn't go away, flattened him) and seem to have also broken the glasses of one of Kings of Convenience while flattening the spaniel boy. Oops.

Most gratifying David v. Goliath scenario was easily the spitting on the insulting rugbyfucker/assplanting same rugbyfucker in front of all his mates on the Tube on a Last Orders train.

― suzy (suzy), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 14:03 (twenty-two years ago)

I got in a number of fights through my teens and afterwards. I took on two school bully types, and won both times. I went on to work in a pub in the centre of Bristol, and there was occasional trouble there too. Mostly I dealt with it with words, but more was unavoidable now and again. I can't remember being on the wrong end of a fight since my childhood. I'm only a short man, but I am all muscle and fairly tough. Fortunately I've not been in any fights in twenty years - a couple of times I've got into face-offs with people, but they have always backed down, so far.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 16:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh I broke up a fight yesterday using the ol' half nelson. That doesn't really count though, does it?

― Texas Sam (thatgirl), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 16:31 (twenty-two years ago)

I got hit in the face when I was five for calling a kid a shrimp; he knocked me down the hill by the playground and I went running home with a bloody nose, crying all the way.

I got the living shit beat out of me several years ago outside a club in SF but I have no idea why or who did it. Woke up in the emergency room. Very possible I mouthed off to someone. Equally possible, I suppose, that I pulled a Fight Club and beat myself up. Those were crazy drunken days!

― anthony kyle monday (akmonday), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 16:35 (twenty-two years ago)

definition of half nelson = ha

(worst joke ever)

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 16:38 (twenty-two years ago)

"escalate your dukes" is my new favorite expression

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 16:39 (twenty-two years ago)

five months pass...

I don't think I've hit anyone in the face, except as a joke (it wasn't very hard).

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 5 February 2004 14:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Dastoor, don't try it.

The last person who mentioned squarebob to me got punched in the face. That taught him a lesson. So don't try it.
