When someone shouts "watch out!" you daren't run in case you run into whatever it is. Bad move on my behalf. Half a Fletton, right on top of my head. Lots of blood, go see the school nurse and miss the afternoons lessons. Cushty. I'm sure if I looked hard, there would be a scar. But there will be better ones near by. we used to have firework wars,stick fights and also catapult fights.how any of us survived this without serious injuries i will never know.some of the sticks were more like trees being thrown over hedges and the ammo used in the catapults were berries and stones.

Borr 6,118 Posted December 28, 2024 Report Share Posted December 28, 2024 I was awful looking back , fireworks, pipe bombs , lots of fire related stuff, shooting stuff out of mates hands with airguns, catapult wars, water bombing moving vehicles and putting a windscreen through. Anyway I was lucky ISH and didn't permanently hurt anyone. My father grew up on bombsites in London , lost a few friends falling off buildings or drowning in canal , lost most of his sight in his left eye after being shot off a building with a bow and arrow. Times have changed . I used to be left to it with airguns , machetes and shotguns ..... My lot can't ride their bikes without supervision.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A knock on the head will ensure it's dead, a knife in the side leaves a painful ride. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So I'm 19 year old and me and about 7..8 mates are at Skegness...its a bank holiday so we all pile in this nightclub...I'm sure it was called the Sands...under the pier... Anyway my arsehole mates thought it a good idea to start a mass brawl on the dance floor...just because they didn't like the look of another group of young lads... Anyway I find myself chinning this young chap..who goes down...so I I'm sort of neiling over him hitting him some more... Out the corner of my eye I see my mates scatter...but in that moment bang I'm hit over the head with something...I jump too my feet and run to the edge of the dance floor to my mates and sit down at the tables...by now claret is gushing out my head down my neck all over my shirt....and of course my mates think it's hysterical... I saw nothing of what happened but my mates said ....the bouncers came...but one of them was this Polynesian looking fella and he was doing the hole Bruce Lee thing across the dance floor with nunchucks..spinning them all round himself...then bang he hit ne with them... After 10 minutes I go to reception in the club and the head doorman gave some first aid....amazingly they never kicked us all out My mates dined out on that story for a while they would go in to detail about how cool this dude looked spinning them nunchucks round him...and how funny it was seeing me get wacked with them... Bouncer reminds me of a bloke called Garry spears Quote Link to post Share on other sites
