When was the last time you were in a real physical fight? Are you a good scrapper?

Just over 3 years ago. I got attacked on a train by a Gang Of Youths, bottled and kicked about the chest and head quite a lot and ended up in the A & E ward. My pathetic attempts to defend myself proved that I am no fighter alas.

Silver lining: I learned the word "facticity"

I remember talking about this somewhere else, but it was in February last year when a couple of kids tried to mug me, the damn fools. Looking back I was lucky as they could have had knives or whatever but at the time I didn't think of that and just waded in.

What have I told you about this?

The only fights I have been in were sparring matches in Karate when I was in college

With my brother, the other week. Something had gone wrong with the PC, surprise surprise, and all the evidence pointed to him as being behind it. Tempers got frayed, insults were thrown (much use of the phrase 'you big fucking spastic', I must confess) and then punches. He started it!

January, I was out in the pub and I drank too much and got smart and arrogant with some guy in the chipper. Problem was I was too good at it. The guy hit me with a bottle. I managed to run though. It didnt hurt at the time because I was so drunk. Ah those Dublin city nights..........

Not for years upon years. I might get in one tonight, though, given my current housemate situation.

Only once, v. young, about 10. Will never forget it though, the adrenaline, rage, fury, I felt I really wanted to hurt him + very nearly did. As an adult my opponent went on to spend a great deal of time in prison. Dare say he was beaten up there a few times.

My guy's ex hit me a couple of weeks ago. I'm not sure why I didn't hit back, probably b/c I'm not a violent person. But I did manage to get in her face and squeeze out every four-letter name in the book (plus some new ones) before I was dragged out of the bar.

Hampshire College has a fight club. It's so whack. Pacifists can't fight for shit.

At the start of my second Uni year I got knocked down and kicked about a bit by locals, quite literally since I curled into a foetal ball instantly and stayed that way for ten minutes after they went away. Escaped severe damage thanks to woodlouse ability. That was the last biggie, and in terms of bigdom it was frankly tiny.

just over a year ago, also getting rolled by a Gang Of Youths. It was in San Francisco...this guy was wrestling with me & pulling money out of my pocket as his freinds hustled round us & people just walked around them, on a crowded street in the middle of t the day, i couldnt fucking believe it. of course he got my money, i was stupid to even fight back. my friend appeared back out of the shop he had dodged into & grabbed me & went , Quick get away from here before a cop comes...i'd forgotten, we had heroin. oh well, they didn't get that.

Never been in a proper fight. Who would want to harm a pretty face like mine?

Ally C, Thursday, 4 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

the first rule of fight club is that you do not talk about fight club. the first rule of project mayhem is that you do not ask questions. sir.

Two huge pub brawls, glass and pool cues involved. Second one, had to hide behind beer keg in cellar when Met Police arrived.

dave q, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Never been in a fight, but I was slapped hard across the face by a girl called Zoe in the playground when I was fourteen. I turned around and walked away, my friend told a teacher so she got suspended while I was not branded as a grass. Sweet revenge. Can't wait for her to turn up on friendsreunited.com :)

Probably at primary school when I was about six. I'd imagine it was over something silly like whether or not someone had reached base in 40-40 or something.

I've never had a proper grown up with actual adults. I put this down to my incredible weediness coupled the fact I'm extremely apologetic.

I'm also very charming.

jamesmichaelward, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I have never ever been in a proper fight, which seems pretty weird.

I did get slapped once, but only later thought about going back and kicking the person's ass (and never did get around to doing). So I suppose I'm the George Costanza of fighting.

Nicole, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The last fight I got into was the creaming-the-rugby-player incident I've mentioned before, where arsehole hassling friend on tube was first spat at between eyes with my best snotty phlegm, then when he lunged was pushed onto his arse by me in front of packed carriage full of his mates who did not know where to look as doors shut before he could get up and wipe smile off my face. I love that story because it made me feel like The Slayer.

My training involves having a little sister who was taller than me by the time I was 11 and we both fought DIRTY. However, once my dad's fat ho of a wife punched me and Betsy (my sis) went totally postal at her.

I also used to be a bit of a scratcher when I was in school. If boys ducked me in the swimming pool they risked having their bare backs scored with lacerations; when they went whining to teacher she'd be like,'well, you shouldn't have ducked her, stupid.' I have never 'started it' apart from sister fights, which resemble Warner Brothers cartoons, and usually the big mouth/quick feet combo keeps me out of trouble.
