I'm real hard me. I made the mistake of going into one of those Soho joints and blew my top when they tried to make me pay £35 for sitting down. The 5'2" female manageress didn't half get out of my way in a hurry I can tell you!

no it's not my personality. i don't attract trouble. i have stopped many more fights than i've been involved in. i am a peace maker. i've been on the wrong end of a few drunk bullies myself though.Originally posted by r0bly0ns View PostI've lived in the north most of my life and been out in some of the so called roughest clubs in Manchester, Bradford, Leeds & Newcastle.
However I have never been in a fight since I left school...
Perhaps it's your personality rather than your location?
manchester is rough in the centre late at night. i had a bloke come up to me when i was asking directions to a well known kebab shop. he said to the person i was asking directions of "why you talking to this clown for" in a terry christian accent- and he took a swing at me. it went off and two of my pals came running over to break it up. 6 of his pals came running from the other side of the street and a scuffle occured where we were outnumbererd 2 to 1, so we legged it. he had a moustache and a shell suit on. newcastle is worse though. now that place is rough on the weekend.Comment
