verystormy mentioned glassings in another thread, and it started me thinking.
When I was a kid it was unheard of. A fight in a bar was a fight. No knives, no slipping home to get your mates and a few guns. Is it still like that in the UK, or is its like here, where the first thing you do is note which hand chummy holds his glass with? They you worry that he will be back with his cousins and a few Gloks to make his point. And for that matter, do they have the same "knocked down and died" problem? Every few weeks it seems here that some half drunk guy gets hit, falls over backwards and dies of head injuries. I put the above to more of the overly protective influence at school, with no schoolyard fights, no boxing in schools etc. they simply don't know how to take a blow ( or stand correctly so that they don't fall over when they get one.....) We'll need Gloks for this NC thing I suspect... S |

Re: Bar Room Brawls
It's a long time since I had a scrap in a pub; they can be great fun - if you win.

Re: Bar Room Brawls
This thread title has given me an earworm.
You're welcome :) (And it's far less violent than the last vid.) |

Wasn't uncommon where I grew up.All sorts of weapons used.No Gloks but some people would turn up with a very effective length of lead pipe or an axe"usually premeditated payback" Oh!nearly forgot the old cut throat razor.Oh! Oh! a steel comb.I could go on forever:lol: My uncle had his face shredded.His fingers used to have chunks out of them from where he held his hands up to protect himself.He told me he could still see the guys face standing back from the blood splatter with his eyes half closed as he chopped away at arms length.These were men in their 30s around 1976.Maybe you were just fortunate to have been raised in a nice place and there's nothing wrong with that. |

I can remember being shot at, along with half the clientele, in the Sherwood on Claremont Road. Now THAT was a rough pub. !

. I do know that out of season Millwall hoolies cleared the Bikies/Rockers, Hells angels types out of their havens from the Old Kent Rd and Lewisham way in that late 60's very Early 70''s....Those Bikies have never returned. They would literally practice their fighting skills on them and ambushed them all the time. Everytime one would pull up at the lights there were 13/14 and 15 year olds hanging off of them trying to knock them off thier bikes. There were shootups down Lewisham way at places called the Witch Doctor and Doctor Smiths in 1965. Then my Dad can tell me about the Razor gangs of the late 40's of East London and Bermondsey way. I dont think it's any worse or any better now to tell you the truth. Bit surprised with the OP to tell you the truth. Look up the origin of the word Hooligan... and you'll see it orignated in South London in the late 1800's.. Since then and almost certainly before there have always been weapons used in fights. Christ sakes. I had a Knife held on me in Sheffield back in 74. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooliganism There's a bloke on the Palace Bulletin Boards that has been mugged over 20 times. |
