When did you last have a fight?

[InsaneApache]

Was reading a thread on this topic on another board I frequent and wondered if/when any .orgahs last had fisticuffs....

Mine was about 6 or 7 years ago. I'd been to visit my eldest son in his new house and was on my way back to work. I took a shortcut to the motorway through an industrial estate.
Driving toward a pub I saw a car indicate to pull out. As I approached the guy pulls out right in front of me, in effect cutting me up. Hitting the horn and flashing my headlamps at full beam I applied my brakes, but other than rear-end him I swerved onto the other side of the road and overtook him.
Looking in my mirror I could see this guy racing up behind me. I knew he wasn't a happy chappy as he was blaring his horn and he began to tailgate me.
Next thing I know the guy is right up next to me trying to pull me over, rather in the manner of TV coppers.
Thinking fast, I realized that if I didn't get out of the car quickly I would be a sitting duck with my seatbelt on.
As we stopped I unclipped the seatbelt and opened the door even before the car had come to a rest. Jumping out I was just in time to see him run around his motor and swing a haymaker at me. Ducking away I kicked out, catching him on his shins. Then I hit him on his nose, and a general fracas ensued. As he was staggering around I smelt drink on his breath when he suddenly fell to the floor. I took the opportunity to jump back into my car and sped off. I memorized his number plate and drove to the nearest cop shop. Recalling the events to a young plod, he got on his radio to alert his fellow PC 99ers and that was that.
Not big not clever, but you do have to defend yourself from time to time.

Anyone else recently had occasion to act like a 12 year old then?

Two months ago, it doesn't really take that much to press my buttons. If you can solve it with violence why shouldn't you

I think the last time (fortunately) was when I actually was 12 years old ... Ok, perhaps I was 13 or 14 then (it was the typical schoolyard brawl then).

45-second bar-brawl 3 years ago. Guy wanted to slap his wife around - I showed him the door. He objected (physically), I insisted (physically). Done. No big deal.

The older I get, the fewer and more far between these incidents seem to happen. Me glad of that (sez the old geezer) :)

I just wanted to say well spoken. I'm learning the Jargon so I can AVOID a fight in Yorkieshire.

Mine was about two years ago in the school's playing fields up the road. My friend and I decided to pass the time with a little violence.

[Radier]

Two years ago I punched a guy until he was bloody in his face. He deserved it... It was on the school bus btw.

couple of years ago.

Months ago, might even be approaching a year - me and my dad went through an even worse time than normal and it resulted in a few fights in a few nights.

Time to get your own place. Haven't seen you here for a while mia muca!

Been there, done that. Come to think of it, I think the last time with me too, not counting the most pit at the Sodom concert or the accidental knee in the face I received while giving my friend's girlfriend a facewash.

Hmmm. My last fight. Well, if you can call lying on the ground trying to cover your head and vital organs while three steroid-pumpers do their best to ruin their footwear by slamming it into you as hard as they can a "fight," then I'd say my last fight was about nine years ago.

Just had some bad luck. It was after the bars had closed, and I was at a late night restaurant having a bite to eat with two girls I had met earlier. Three very large guys at the table next to us were just looking for a fight, and who better to pick on than the well-dressed (one of my antagonists was wearing the large, baggy workout pants with Foghorn Leghorn on them which were considered haute couture among juice-monkeys at the time, topped off with a Gold's Gym wife-beater and charmingly accessorized with a black leather fanny-pack) smart-ass at the table next to them with two hot girls? I tried to laugh it off because I didn't like the odds too much, but they just got meaner and meaner and well, I already told you how it ended.

But the best part is that I ended up going home with one of those hot girls that night, while the deliverers of my ass-kicking had to run away from the police before going home alone to attempt to cajole their steroid-shrunken members into some sort of masturbatory pleasure.

The best revenge is living well...

When I was 13. I don't think you really need to when you're an adult, except for the odd exceptional circumstance (like when someone attacks you). I'm not a total wus--I used to wrestle and have taken some Kung Fu, and on a good day I can bench about 250 or so--but I just don't see it as necessary. I have a couple of friends out here who get into fights routinely, but its often their fault and they could almost always have avoided them.

I've broken up a number of fights where I work, but never had to take part myself. Which I'm glad about, I like my nose the shape it is.

[Lentonius]

ive never blown my fuse, and take a lot to get me mad enough to hit someone with full force, as whenever i punch anyone it is usually half strength.

that being said, if i was to blow my fuse i am strong enough to 'defend' myself fairly well


although i decide i can easily win a fight of words rather than of fists

[SwordsMaster]

Does boxing count?

If it does, then last Friday. Not much, a bit of a internal contest, I ended up with bruised ribs, the other guy with a bloody nose. The usual.

A proper fight.... Don't know really. Probably back in my first year in college,at the college ball when some bastard pushed my gf at the time badly and I was half drunk and couldn't avoid punching him a few times. Then we got thrown out of the ball by security and I had to climb a wall to get back in....in a tuxedo. That was kinda fun, in retrospect.

I've never been in a real fight. Probably just as well, as I'm really not very big, and I imagine I'd get pretty seriously injured.
