When were you last involved in fisticuffs?

Archeron

When is the last time you actually had a fight? A physical fight where you squared up against another person and laid down the law to the best of your ability.

Be it self defense in a mugging, or just fighting your friends in a pointless drunken brawl?

I havent had a fist fight in 22 years, since I was ten years old when I grabbed the other guys and pushed his head through some railings, where he got stuck :rolleyes:

Are we a violent race of people, or do we rather flight than fight?

Personally I'd rather avoid this type of thing, but how often do you find yourself unable or unwilling to go without expressing your anger in a punch-in-the-face kind of way?

zonEEE

The use of the word "fisticuffs" must mean that your last fight was about 200 years ago, and not the 22 specified.:p

I look forward to reading this thread when some people say how they were in loads of fights, but that it was always instigated by other people, every last one.

Same here, was jumped around two years ago.

Hate fighting but when you get a box to the back of the head followed by futher thumps you have to defend yourself.

Destroyed the guy.

I got into a drunken fight with a stranger outside a nightclub two weeks ago. Came away with two black eyes and a bloody nose. Completly deserved them too

Never had the pleasure of the 4lights, it was all about the peace park and summerhill corridor

8 years ago out side the Black Horse in Inchicore.

It was a 2v2 Tag team match. I think we where the Bush Whackers and they where The Legion of Doom.

i always loved the irony of meeting in the peace park for a fight.

Honestly, seeing men fight is the biggest turn off ever for me.

Only ever had 1 in my life. My brother in law kicking out at my wife. Well, that couldn't go on without a bit of input

just over a year ago, day after last halloween
Some skanger decided to start smashing up the stairwell where I live, physical intervention was required to resolve the situation.

Oddly enough he looked like someone had punched the head offa him already.. his skangery face covered in bruises.

LadyMayBelle

I had a fight with a girl in my class when i was 9..she really pushed my buttons and I think may have called me a 'Jehovah Witness' because I used to get out of mass because I wasn't Catholic (or a JW) so I knocked her over a table. She roared claiming I had broken her back, but I got off scot free cos she was a mopey whinger anyway and the teacher didn't like her.

Not fisticuffs as such but one drunk eegit 'lay a hand' on me one night recently in a pub after one of my friends spilt his drink by accident, I was sober and to make things pleasant offered to pay for his drink (as he has started to shout expletives at my friend who was very apologetic) but when he listed about three drinks including a double vodka and red bull I told him to take a hike, I'd only buy the one that was knocked and the cheeky fecker tried to push me into some sort of fight?? Quick glance to the barman who signaled security. Such a knob. Felt sorry for his girlfriend who stood there looking mortified and intimidated.

Never been in a physical fight and hopefully that will remain the case.

Besides, only boys call fisticuffs. Real men call duels; pistols at dawn is the proper way to win honour.

Im a lover, not a hater!!

Lover of women, you sick people!!!

Ill try make peace my fellow man but if that fails, a loaf in the nose will sort 'em:p

Riddle101

I've only ever been in one fight when I was 8, and it ended with me and a bloody nose. I got my revenge the next day though:mad:

Agricola

Last proper fight was probably about 10 years ago when I was in school. We were all crammed into the locker area, climbin all over each other tryin to get our books out at the end of the school day. One lad I never particularly liked pretty much bulldozed me out of the way to get to his locker. Im not usually agressive but somethin just snapped and next thing we were on the ground knockin ten bells out of each other!

It was all forgotten about soon after though. Never resort to physical violence kids!

About four months ago in a disco, I was sober.
I was going out to the smoking area with a few of the boys and I was at the back of the group walking out and I got blocked off by a group of girls(that thought they were God's gift to the world:mad:) and this scumbag pushed me and I went to walk off because I was in a pissy mood, he pulled me back and hit me a slap in the jaw, I floored him with two boxes, a left to the ribs and a right hook to the jaw.

Cupcake_Crisis

The last time i was in a proper fight was when i was about 9 or 10 with a boy who lived around the corner from me. He was mean

Last new years i slapped one of my friends in the face because he smashed a vase over another friends head at a party. All very drunk and disorganised. We can laugh now......ish

I hate fighting though. Even shouting at someone gives me the shakes

Borneo Fnctn

There were skelps thrown in the schoolyard when I was 17. I didn't win but I landed a beauty of a haymaker on the chaps jaw. I got a black eye myself and he got a very swollen jaw and a broken thumb. Like gents, we shook hands soon afterwards.

Sarcasm and hostility in men is a horrible trait too.

jiltloop

I hate people who go out on a night out and drink too much and get into a fight. If you can't handle your drink or get aggressive when you drink then...... maybe you shouldn't drink!! Take up hash or something. I'm kind lucky in the fact that I'm 6ft 4" and no one starts fights with me. Couple that with the fact that when I drink I get ultra friendly and then you get the reason why I simply don't get into fights. Where's the fun in fighting?

I think the phrase is "I'm a lover, not a fighter." :P

Last fight I was in was about 2 years ago (note I'm 16). Some fella was being a bollox and I just lost it. No harm was done though. We're friends now. Ahh back then, so young, so foolish :rolleyes:

ccosgrave

About a month ago, drunken fighting with a friend. I got destroyed and then got kicked out of the house. Tip: don't try wrestle to the ground a guy that could lift several of you.

Previous to that, I was about 12, started out as some playful childish boxing which was taken too seriously by the other guy and quickly got out of hand. Pretty sure I won that though, and the guy I fought went to jail a few years later.

Tends not to be me that gets targetted by scumbags on nights out though, tends to be my friends. Credit to them, though, they're great at talking their way out of that kind of thing.

Dave!

Only been in a couple of fights and they were when I was in primary school...

I'd like to get in a fight again to see how I get on, but in controlled circumstances where I can't actually get hurt.

Like fighting someone who's tied up, or in a wheelchair or somethin... Or both !

I'd kick some serious ass...

About a year ago. Didn't win, but didn't lose badly either. Guy was an asshole.

I haven't had a fight since secondary school, thankfully.

Two women fighting is just as bad.
Most guys are probably imagining foxy boxing or mud wrestling, but real fights with two girls swinging out of each others hair and shouting abuse... so completely rotten.

m5ex9oqjawdg2i

About a year ago, me and my bro jumped 4 guys, before that me and my bro tackle about 5+ guys, before that me my bro and a few mates got jumped by an arseload of people...

In all cases, the law never knew who to help out or who to arrest :P

Duggy747

Geez. Be nearly 2 years for me since I was in a proper fight (where fists were actually thrown). I normally talk my way out of things and I'm fairly tall (6ft 3'', not skinny or stocky tall, but propotionate) so most assholes just talk hard rather than throw anything.

Was in the local niteclub at the side of the dance-floor supping my beer when I saw a dipstick dancing agressively around 2 girls I knew (rubbing them up with his hands and kept going back to them after they pushed him away.)

I went down to dance with the girls to keep him away before he shoved me and then put his head towards mine and we did the head to head thing for a few seconds before he threw a sly dig into me. I grabbed him, tripped over the girl behind me (:P) and dragged him down with me.

The fecker fell on top of me and had a good chance to hammer me but before I even knew it I grabbed him by the neck with one hand and grabbed his belt with the other and threw him over me and did a switch-aroony with me on top of him. Gave him 3-4 good hard punches before a friend pulled me off him and he got chucked out.

I'm fairly well known around my town and I'm known to rarely get on the wrong side anyone without good reason so when it was heard that this fella started on me a vigilante group of people gave him a good local town lesson without me even knowing!

I never saw him again :P though I spent the next few days with a pathetic black eye people at work could notice but the women loved me for doing it

Unless the situation called for it I don't throw the first punch, don't need any crap from the Gardai and seen too many friends and people wind up in court for silly fights. Plus there some sick bastards out there with knives, a few people I know have being on the receiving end of them - one of them getting the side of his mouth sliced ala - The Joker (though not as big and nasty...........or cool in a Dark Knight way :P)

PrideInBattle

Got jumped by two fellas in Prospect last weekend (near Whitechurch if you know it)
Was twisted as well, in no state to defend myself.

Came home with a few bruises not too bad, then I found out who was the first fella to hit me, I demolished him.

He's trying to bring me to court?!

Duggy747

Yep, that's the way cowards go now. I know plenty of those types who will start a fight with people but don't throw a punch, when the other does the coward runs immediately to the cop shop and *BANG* the other poor sod has a summons.

Again, that's why I don't throw the first slap.

I've no proof that they jumped me either, already had 3 guards at my house since it happened.

Sorry mammy, love ya!

How friendly exactly? Think I would prefer a hiding :-)

Last fight was 5 years ago. More a hiding than a fight to be honest. Only landed one punch on the scumbag before his even scummier mate stuck a pint glass in my face and the two of them proceeded to kick the **** out of me.

Surprised I'm not the only one to lose a row. Always thought AHers were well hard.

arybvtcw0eolkf

Real life violent encounters, loads. But thats because I worked as a bouncer in bars and clubs for over 15yrs.

Other than that, I'm fighting in the Irish Judo Open (Masters cat.) tomorrow - if anyone wants to light a candle and say a prayer for me!... :P

Bandit12

Twas two year ago now.

I was never in a fight that i recall anyway. I would probably lose horribly if i was.
