When was the last time you got in a fight?

    A proper physical fight... Insomnia thought it very important I try to remember this one last night. I'm thinking it was around 17 years ago. A guy offended my family and was duly relieved of some teeth.

    2 weeks ago today with a knack-bag I apprehended while trespassing on my work premises...

    He threw first, I defended myself, he came out the worst.

    About 20 years ago, in primary school. Can't remember if any punches thrown cos we were both pussies that were afraid of hurting our hands. Lots of shoving around and namecalling though. Vicious stuff.

    Boxing, about 16 years ago.

    Got stopped in the fight, beaten up a bit, especially to the face.

    Came home a few days later, mother took a look at me and asked me to stop, and I did.

    Probably about 10 years ago in secondary. Don't remember specifics, got in a lot of fights because being a big nerd meant people trying to pick on me. Being a big nerd with anger management problems meant trips to the principle's office and lectures about how my reaction was disproportionate.

    Never been in a fight, per se. Broke up a few in my time, suffered and inflicted the odd bloodied nose and such, but as the song says, you don't have to fight to be a man. Always thought a wee bit less of Kenny for letting down his Da in that song.

    I've never had a fight, because that insinuates it was a two-person thing, but I have been beaten up by multiple people at the same time. The last time was outside a nightclub when I was 18. Myself and some jock were squaring up to another. I had squared up to people before and nothing usually came of it, but this particular bloke headbutted me, catching me completely by surprise, before three of his mates hopped in and started throwing punches like they were going out of fashion. Blood was spilled.

    I gave a statement to the guards in the station few days later. I know what you're thinking, snitches get stitches, but I already had stitches, on the top of my head to be exact, so f*ck it. But I couldn't press charges because I was very drunk and couldn't actually remember what or why it happened.

    Couple of years ago. Mrs. Goose and I were out walking one evening and a big, thick-looking ape was out tinkering with his car with a loopy-looking alsatian frolicking about near him. We passed on the pavement and the dog went for herself. She suggested to your man that the dog should be controlled, and he held up a hefty spanner and explained to her that he was having a bad day. He was right. Six seconds later he had a broken wrist and a fractured jaw from his own spanner.

    Last night I came up against a legendary deathclaw on the outskirts of Diamond city. It was touch and go there for a while, proper fight to the death, luckily I managed to get some distance between us and fire my fatman which put an end to the fight.

    Never. Yet.

    Four years ago next week.

    Some guy attacked my friend in a pub, I attacked him, his friend attacked me.

    I lost my glasses and got my face cut open for my trouble.

    Somehow wasn't as much fun in my late 20's as I remembered from teenage disco days.

    I've never been in a fight in my life. I'd be battered!! I've the upper body strength of a plastic bag. Not even those sturdy bags for life, like one of those crappy pound shop bags.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,431 ✭✭✭MilesMorales1


    Not for quite a few years though, maybe not since I got stabbed a few years ago. To be honest, most of my 'fights' ended with me getting the ****e beaten out of me, since fighting doesn't ever go like it is on the tv.

    Around 29 years ago when I was a child.

    The other boy was asking for a fight, as in he wanted a physical fight, I had refused but he kept at me so I threw a punch hit him on the nose, his nose started bleeding and that was that. No more looking for a fight.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,162 ✭✭✭MadDog76


    Not since having kids ........ I'm prone to blowing a fuse if irritated so used to regularly have punch-ups but I wouldn't like my kids to see that side of me ....... also I've never been badly hurt in a fight but everybody's luck runs out at some stage so couldn't take that chance being a father.

    Many, many years ago.
    Two of my mates set upon by a bunch of guys looking for trouble.
    One of my mates ran away, [some friend!].
    I stepped forward and said "Now look here." It was the last thing I remember!
    Apparently, he hit me so hard I ended up sprawled across the bonnet of a car!
    Years later I went to karate classes to become deadly.
    Sadly, I was so bad that the rest of the class couldn't practise for laughing!

    Blatant "I'm a hard man me" thread.

    I've never hit anyone but was nutted for no reason about 20 years ago by some scobe looking for trouble.

    Hopefully he'll die roaring.

    The most aggressive fight I've ever been in just lead to being pushed. It was on a night out, myself and my best friend. We were both walking onto the Main Street to get a taxi when these older ladies who were sitting on a bench asked for a lighter. I don't smoke, so I said "sorry, don't smoke".

    Your one leaped up after me and in broken English started shouting "fking liar! Fking liar!" So, naturally I walk back towards her and I just say "sorry, did you say something?" So she's all up in my face shouting at me saying all she wanted was a fking lighter, and she shoved me. Oh hell naw bitch! So of course I shoved her back.

    She starts ranting about fking Irish, fking Irish this, fking Irish that. Ranting about how she pays taxes in this country, and I'm like oh right, didn't know prostitutes paid taxes and god it riled her altogether, she's practically foaming at the mouth. My friend is asking me to walk away, i of course had no intention of walking away. The lady is now ranting about how her taxes paid for the bench and shed sit there if she wanted (there was nobody saying anything about the bench only her) so I look over, and her friend is sitting quietly on the bench, there's bags and shoes on the bench. So I walk over, say "move your Shiit" as I sweep everything off the bench onto the ground and I sit beside her friend.

    Your one looks like she's on the brink of a stroke at this point. I'm laughing and she's trying to copy my laugh but she's livid. She picks her shoe (about 2 inch heel on it) and starts swinging it. So off comes my stiletto (about 5 inches) and I tell her I'll scrawb her eyes out with them if she doesn't stop waving her sweatshop tat in my face.

    That was probably the worst aggro I got on a night out

    Either you're full of **** ( probably ) or you should be prosecuted for assaulting that man.

    He got off lucky. Don't threaten another person with a weapon unless you are prepared for the consequences of that weapon been used on you.

    The Gardaí disagreed. I called them afterwards.
