When were you last physically involved in a fight? And who won?

The only time I've ever had one was at school, aged about 11 (over whether DC comics were better than Marvel ones.) I lost.

Never been in a proper fight (siblings don't count), though I did beat someone up once for kicking my football down a hill.

aged 14 or ....no, hangon, I did have a punchup with my best friend in argentina over whether we'd drink more beer or not - no-one won, we both fell over, picked ourselves up and kept drinking, i was 18 i think...

I was shadow boxing in front of my friend on Saturday night because he'd pulled a minger. I hit him with a nice jab that I just pulled as it hit his lip and he complained for about 3 hours about how his lip was swelling up. I won. I am, obviously, the hardest on ILE.

Don't know about fights, but hardest on ILE surely = Hopkins.

Nah, he's a pussycat. Pete hits people with chairs and books, I nominate him.

I once shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.

Does that count?

I punched and kicked someone over Christmas holiday, but they didn't do much back to me so it doesn't count. Proper fight with fighting back and everything, about 16. I won.

Hopkins? I think not - I have a feeling I've actually seen him in some playful very very drunken scrap on an icy Woodhouse Moor at 3am some time early in the previous decade, but I'm willing to accept that it might have been someone else.

The last physical confrontation I had was in high school. I grabbed this kid by the ears and repeatedly banged his forehead against the lockers, then threw him into his own open locker. (Context: Shortly after my brother died, he'd drawn pictures of him under the wheels of a truck that he'd titled "Nigger Killer". He's lucky I didn't try to kill him.)

I also stabbed a kid in the shoulder with a seam ripper in eighth grade, but he started that one.

You talking to me?

There was a kid named Bob Makar at my high school who felloff a cliff and died and an evil boy made a T shirt that read "Hey Bob, My CAr Died" . But he gave it to a thick headed other kid who wore it not realising the 'pun" and was nearly killed hard by littel brother of Bob Makar

When small and female, it is very easy to use these things as weapons in your surprise HUMILIATE THE LIVING SHIT out of 6'+ Rugby Fucker ambush (my training was that my HUGE little sis and I used to go at it like a couple of Warner Bros cartoon characters). Only try this one if your getaway path is clear!

Friend and I were being hassled in Tube by large idiot who kept stepping on my foot while drunk. I warned him not to do this and verbiage escalated to the inevitable lesbian insults thick, ugly men find handy when any woman declares them The Last Man On Earth. Other passengers oblivious, of course. Friend and I made to change train and just as I disembarked, I called, 'hey, asshole!' He LOOKED (!) and I hit him between the eyes with LOVELY spit/snotball combo. When he lunged, I stepped back and pushed him back into train so hard he fell on his arse as the doors shut with him inside, with 40 pairs of eyes watching him all the way home. Priceless!

I don't fight, I always lose, so I prefer to cause trouble when my opponent is unable to retaliate. Classic example of DG scheming: When I was 10, I had enough of my nemesis Ross Hindley, so I walked up to him after school (when all the mums were waiting for their kids) and smashed him in the face with my school bag, loaded with any heavy objects I could find. I knew that he wouldn't attack me in front of his mum and that my mum would do nothing about it. Ha ha!

― DG, Tuesday, 31 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm keepin quiet here about this issue

― Mike Hanle y, Tuesday, 31 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

DG, you forgot to tell the bit of the story where him and his mates beat the shit out of you the next day.

― Greg, Tuesday, 31 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

3 years ago D'Este and I walking along to Fancy Restaurant, and almost get backed into by an enormous white SUV. Outraged we direct the driver to the nearest driving school. Turns out that the white SUV is packed like sardines with enormous muscle-bound B&Ters who beat the shit out of us. D was hit in face. I was punched hed to ground. The guys' girlfriends plead with us to leave and not look back. 2nd worst decision of the night: stubbornly not abandoning restaurant plans.

i get beat up. I am blind.

― anthony, Tuesday, 31 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

He and his mates didn't beat me up the next day because he had no mates, and besides the action was so public all the teachers and dinner ladies were watching out for me for the next few days. Ha ha!

― DG, Tuesday, 31 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Anthony what do you mean yr "blind"? how do you curate art shows & go on ILE/ILM if yr BLIND?

i got in a fight at the pub last year. i was 21. still am. it was after a murdering monsters gig, this guy from one of the bands who supported us kept coming up to me and putting his arm around me and calling me baby. i basically had to fight him off me. it was unpleasant indeed. however. what ended up happening, when he finally got the message to leave me alone, he pushed me off my barstool, so i attacked him. we both got kicked out of the pub but i definitely won the fight. he started crying.

i only fight when its necessary. in dunedin, word of fights gets around real easily. its kinda a double edged sword, cos although people don't try to fuck with me anymore, i also have the rep of being "out of control", "can't handle alcohol". i say bollocks to that. anyone who was in the same situation would have reacted the same if not worse.

A girl hit me at a party. I pushed her back. Then everyone yelled at me for hitting a girl.

Also, I've gotten in fights with friends for fun on occasion. Nobody tends to get too badly hurt, as we call it off when it gets to serious. I can be a mean drunk.

― Sterling Clover, Wednesday, 1 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

When you punch me my rather thick glasses fly across the room. I flail wildly w/o much consquence. (sp)

I got in a little fight (for fun) with my best friend the night before I went off to college, when we were pretty drunk. The fight was a draw, but it turns out I tackled him against the ground a little too hard because after a week of soreness and painkillers, I went to a doctor whose x-ray told me I fractured my collarbone, so I ended up spending the first month of college wearing a brace under my shirt that made me look like a fat linebacker. The moral of the story? Never drink, obviously.

I've kicked ass and I've gotten my ass kicked. Which puts me within the statistical mean, I guess.

I'm surprised that with my mouth and my temper that I haven't gotten into more fights than I have.

― Tadeusz Suchodolski, Wednesday, 1 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The last fight I got into was when a couple of kids tried to mug me down some alleyway near Blackhorse road early last year. They really shouldn't have tried, one ran off after I tried to kick his mate's head off. Mind you I don't like fighting as a rule, I'm scared of hurting people, which was why I was bad at it at school, until it became necessary.

― cabbage, Wednesday, 1 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I do most of my drinking/partying with rugby friends (I don't play, they do), and on many occassions I've (been told afterwards that I) asked for it, but still no fights. Nobody can explain it.
