    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!

      However I have never been in a fight since I left school...

      Perhaps it's your personality rather than your location?
      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.

      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.

          I don't get into fights - I stay away from dangerous countries like the UK.

            Isn't it Australia where pom bashing is a national sport? Payback's a bitch.

              I just asked my daughter - she said "I don't know - the baddies?"

                  i've seen some horrible beatings dispensed. i lived in a B&B in newcastle and one lad who answered a knock at the door, was pulled out and beaten over the head with a baseball bat. it was my first night in the B&B!

                    When you say B&B, you actually mean Bail Hostel don't you.

                      Hmm, this guy is definitely a troll.

                      HRH I would wager.
