dare 1,103 Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Very true that wilf. Came out a shop to see 2 guys face to face with my mate who was having a fag outside. Seen these 2 in the area normally just said alright as we walked past. Got infront of my mate and told em noones hitting him. Was years back but ended up them telling me they ain't scared of me type thing. Nothing happened but when was all over my mate was no where to be seen lol. Didnt mind as nothing happened but would of been pissed off if I did get jumped. Only half didnt mind as my mate don't make out his anything his not and really ain't a fighter. Until he discovered marching powder lol. Hear the way he goes on when on that and I think f***ing hell have you forgotten you can't fight. His so confident with it aswell that I'm sure people actually believe his hype and sorta back down to it lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 30,121 Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) On the general scale of things defending your pals in a physical way is just a tiny part of loyalty that as Wilf said usually subsides as you get older and move onto different things.......what often comes later on when theres a bit more than just skin to be lost is when the true test of loyalty shows itself..............just my opinion like.

I suppose its having a true fiend in the 1st place really, you don't meet many in the walk of life. The only 1 who I know would die for you was my old mom, one time my younger brother as getting a good hiding from some lads , not far from where I live. I was working away at the time, so got to here all about it of my 2 brothers. Mom ran in to them took of her shoe and started to wack them in there heads , there all pissed off lol she was 5ft 7in with red hair with some welsh blood in her , worse than any bloody rottie if I ever had mate like her which I aint ,you would call them a true friend Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socks 32,253 Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 You certainly learn who your true friends are as you get older ... As a youngster I think most blokes would get in a ruck at the drop of a hat to defend their mates and just because its a chance for a dust up ... But as time goes on and peoples priorities change so do their loyalties and who they believe they should be loyal to ... Anybody can stand in front of a chap that's going to have a slap but there are far more brave and loyal things to do than that .......... 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 30,121 Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Whether its right or wrong friendships for me are possibly the most important relationships we have in life as its the ones we choose to have with our own mind and our own understanding of people....we dont choose family so thats a different kind of loyalty but who we choose to share friendships with is down to us if over time we dont weed out the bad we cant suddenly turn round and start moaning when a friend is disloyal as we chose them !.....For me friendship is the purest relationship there is id trust friends before family any day of the week...........as Socks said fighting is fun the real test of loyalty is when your backs against the wall and its not fun. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beast 1,884 Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Cut about that way sometimes mate, out doing a bit of business or visiting or what have you........other than that, you wouldn't get me back living in London for all the tea in china. Can't stand it but it will always be in my blood cause that's where my history is if you get my drift. i absolutely get your drift, i'm proud of my roots and i'm proud to have the heritage of my ancestors before me, my father was a docker for many years, his father sailed tall ships out of london docks and all my family were part of that culture. i will always feel that sense of history, but sadly that old london has pretty much gone now. they always say you should never go back ........... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 46,933 Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Funny but I have always thought of fighting as a deeply unpleasant experience (for me anyway) which is maybe a little strange coming from a family of men where violence was part and parcel of everyday "working" life. It's years since I had any type of a set too and long may it stay that way.......it brings out a side of my character that it has been a life's work trying to keep in check, a side that I find frightening and unpleasant. My old man and brothers were the same except they let theirs run away unchecked.......them c**ts were not content to have the bloke unconscious in front of them, they are then looking for a bus to throw him under!! That is a very unpleasant trait, both in terms of what you do to others and your own liberty. People can say what they like within reason about me, let them crack on, I would rather wake up to see my kids every morning than worry about it........that's what means the most to me. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

People can say what they like within reason about me, let them crack on, I would rather wake up to see my kids every morning than worry about it........that's what means the most to me. That's my sentiments exactly ... I was having a silly tiff with a member on here ... I had asked my missus to shout up a lads number from my pm's and she had obviously seen the argument that was going on ... When I came down stairs she handed me my I pad with the words ... you need to fukcing grow up ... And she was right I was arguing over fukc all with a lad that in reality I would probably get on with in everyday life ... I've got fukc all to prove to anybody and unless my back is against the wall or my family is threatened I would rather walk away these days ... As you say wilf once the key is turned the engine runs until the petrol runs out and that ain't a good a trait ... My boy is over six foot and sixteen stone he is a builder by trade so works hard all day ... He gets up early and does at least five miles road work every morning then puts in a full shift ... Then spends 2 hours 5 nights a week training a mix of kick boxing and weights .. He does all these mud run things and ultimate assault course challenges and anything that pushes him mentally and physically to his limit ... BUT apart from touch me his mother or his sisters you won't get a rise out of him he is so laid back he is almost horizontal and I respect him for that ... He could hurt you badly if he was a bully quick tempered type but he would rather buy you a pint than get in a ruck with you ... He loves life and nothing stresses him .... Luckily he can switch it on in the ring when he needs to ... Again I tip my hat to the lad as he knows when to turn it up and turn it down ......... 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had real bad feeling for a bloke who lives by me, we had near set to in country lane. his mrs calmed it down just about . couldn't get the c**t out of my head for 14 months , all I wanted to kick his balls through his arse and rearrange his face .It was only my wife stopping me, because she said if you attack him the police will knows it you from his wife, when he in the AE and you will get sent down for this . She said you got to let it go, and walk away from this piece of shit , so bottom line he was very luck person not to end up in the AE ,and my was wife right . fighting not always about being big+tough , it making sure you picked on the right person ,or in some cases the wrong one Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In my little town someone gets stabbed every month coming out this nite club. And on one particular nite 13 lads got stabbed. Even some of the local people carry knifes also and I know as I got it my self the other month and was very lucky indeed not to slice through my main artery in my neck. So rubbish it is NOT for sure.
