Have you ever been in a fight?

Ooh, ooh I've got a funny Norbert story. I'm sure I've posted this before, but I'll tell again as it is, erm, interesting.

To answer the original question:

Have you ever been in a fight? - yes, twice.
Are you often in fights? nope.
Are you the type who gets picked on when out? nope.
Any other relevant info? see below...

The second ever real fight I had:

My mrs went out with her mates to a not that local bar. It was about 40 mins drive away.

Anyway, I agreed to pick her up after, at around 2am. I'm nice like that.

I had a cool, chilled out night indoors watching telly and generally chilling (remember I'm from Holland...)

Anyway, come 1:30 ish I leave the house in just a tshirt, tracky bottoms and some trainers with no socks. It was winter, but I wasn't planning on gettig out of the car.

I get to the bar and park up outside the door, over the road. Sharon and her mate are sitting on a bench there. They see me pull up and get up to walk to the car. All of 2.5m.

Just as they do so, a large group of chavs walks past. Now remember I'm still in the car. Not 100% with it in all honesty. Something happened. Someone said something to someone. And anyway, it all kicked off and they start arguing with this group of say 8 guys and girls.

Oh no I think. I'm not the confrontational type at all, even though I may look it. Particularly in my state at the time. So I wind down the window down and tell her to forget it and just get in the car. He mate does and gets in the back. Sharon is still out there. Words are being said. I ask her (probably now demand) that she just gets in the sodding car.

I can see it getting a little out of hand so I have to get out of the car. Remember it's winter and I have next to no clothes one.

I go up to sharon, open the car door and guide her in. She was drunk and wasn't having it.

Then they start on me. I ignore it.

There is this big fat "geezer". Massive. Bigger than me and I'm 6'1. He fat with a shaved head and tattoos. He was probably ony 25ish.

Anyway he starts on me, not pushing me but getting aggressive. I'm a bit concerned at this. he looks like he's rip my head off.

So I'm trying to get this fatty away from me and I can see Sharon out of the corner of my eye, being pushed up against my car. Then a bloke swung at her and punched her straight in the face and broke her nose! The bloke had a shaved head, was quite big and had big bomber boots and a bomber jacket on. A right thug.

Well, I don;t remember much. I had the full on red vision and went into auto pilot. The next thing I knew this bloke was on the floor with a bloody face and I was kicking him.

Then I feel this hard grab on my wrists and my arms are twisted behind my back. I think, oh no it's fatty, he's going to kill me!

But thank the Lord it wasn't! It was PC Plod! Phew!

Anyways, I got arrested obviously and slung in the cell.

After all the witness statements etc I was let off. The bloke was actually trying to press charges after I did him an awful lot of damage. But the police told me that it wouldn't stand in court as there is some case law where you can protect your loved-ones.

Finally, to end the evening of about 6 hours in the cells, it actually turned out that the thug/monster bloke that had punched my girlfriend square in the face and broken her nose, was actually a girl! :eek:

The police were [WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE!] themselves. All the statements from everyone had referred to it as a man. All the police who had seen it unfold. Passers by. Sharon. me. Her mate.

So there you go. I'm a woman beater :o

The last time I ever had a fight. And hopefully the last ever.
 
Nope, never. Don't seem to attract that sort of thing. I've never even shouted at someone in anger I don't think.
 
Kid fights I have been in more than I remember.....especially being one of the very few coloured people :eek: it toughened me up!! :D

Adult fights, a few but always been started on. Never started one myself, and never intend to, unless it was something really serious.
 
I was in a fight once because i prentended to speak in an Australian accent and the person didnt like it.. so he hit me in the face a few times :(

you hit yourself in the face?! Thats a bit harsh, you couldnt have been that offensive. :p
 
Only attempting to break them up when I can see my mates are far too drunk to be able to defend themselves properly.

Being 5'10" and not built like a tank, I try not to get into fights if at all possible.
 
I got in to fights all the time when I was in primary and secondary school. I nearly got expelled from secondary school for hospitalising someone but managed to get away with a caution. I didn't like people picking on my friends and because I was bigger than most at that age I just got stuck in far too often. I also didn't like people bad mouthing me and used that as an excuse to have a fight. I was fine through college but then I went a bit mad in my first year at Uni and ended up getting arrested. I've calmed down a lot now and haven't got in to a fight for 5 or 6 years although if any of my mates ever got in to trouble I’d step in without hesitation.

Yep, never one i've started though, it always been stepping in to help a mate out. Never regretted it as a few times me and friends have prevented a mate from getting a kicking by scaring other kids off.

Are you often in fights?

Not really, I'd rather avoid them if possible, but I'd never leave a mate to get a kicking.

Are you the type who gets picked on when out?

Nope, i'm quite big so people tend not to pick on me fortunately.


I'd rather I never had to step into any sort of fight, but it seems an unavoidable part of going out these days. It doesn't happen often, but not much you can do if some nutter just swings for someone you know for no discernable reason.
 
No nothing serious although last week was a close call. I was having a drink with a friend and a couple of other people I know. After my friend left one of the bar staff who wasn't working but was pretty drunk came over and said something about my friend and we started arguing. He took me outside and there was a bit of pushing but no punches thrown and another member of staff came outside and separated us. Closest thing I have had to a fight in about five years.

Besides that I occasionally get into drunken arguments with friends which has resulted in hitting and being hit but that kind of thing you just have to laugh about the next morning then forget.
 
Well im 17 and i can clearly remember a fight i had with my best mate (at the time) when i was 15. We had both done boxing for 3 years previously before and had quit about a year before our fight. it was in class and teacher went out and we basically both had blood all over our faces and wouldnt break down, when it finally did its becuase we both was knackard and we realized, what the hell was it about? and was mates again afterwards..We both admitted to each other that we kind of enjoyed it! :D No fights since though!
 
A lot of you say you were in fights at school and I was on about this yesterday to a bloke the same age as me. When I was in my 3rd year of senior school (1971/72) I actually saw somebody throw a punch into another boys face :eek:
I'd be about 13/14 and up until that time fights were holding onto each other but this lad put his fist on another lads nose and made it bleed. This probably sounds silly to most of you but nobody had ever seen this before. We'd also never saw anybody arguing with a teacher let alone thumping a teacher.
 
Not really, not since I was a teenager. The nearest thing was about 5 years ago when a drunk went to grab my throat - I took his hand and elbow, broke his grip and pushed him away, then turned and walked off.

Did you go to a posh school? :p
When I was at junior high, fist fights were a daily occurence. Although, that school was a bit rough. During a bombscare the army were down investigating a suspicious device and evacuating the school during which most of the pupils started to throw bricks and bottles at them. Ahhh the good old days.

I did actually, it was an all boys school but all my mates at home went to rough schools and fist fights didn't happen. It seemed to be the late 70's when proper fights started in playgrounds. Of course I blame it on taking the cane away but thats another thread.
 
Have you ever been in a fight? Yes
Are you often in fights? Not since school.
Are you the type who gets picked on when out? Depends on the situation.
Any other relevant info? The last fight I had was really bloody.
 
I attract trouble (usually from short men who feel inadequate and have 'something' to prove...).

Luckily, I can handle myself...Failing that, laughing at someone while they try and hit you puts them off.

Actually - my first week at high school, some year 11s tried it on (in a 'hahaha...look at the new fat kid with spiky hair and piercings' style). I promptly spacked out and smacked one of their heads off the wall and ground...Kinda left me 'protected' for most of high school in a 'he's mental, leave him alone' way.

But...not been in a *proper* fight in a year or so.

I've been in three fights, one of which was very serious.

One was a school bus fight, minor injuries inflicted really. Well a broken nose and cut on my part and glasses smashed into his face and mild concussion on his part.

Another was with a lad I'm friends with because he thought he could push me around. He was a black tag in Tae Kwon Do but a few years of boxing and my rock head overwhelmed him.

Last June, myself a friend, my dad and uncle were attacked by a load of Welsh people in Aberystwyth. I say a load but we think it was about 8. I got badly cut under the eye with a ring, my mate got match of the day played with his head but I did break a cheek bone of one of the welshmen from what I remember.

Oh and a few times after my mum died when I just went up to the mouthiest lad I could find giving it the big one and knocked his drink out of his hand or just hit him and went from there. A phase of my life I'm not very proud of. Didn't always win.
