Shall I start carrying a knife

[ALM]

Kingston upon Thames actually! Fairly nice. Around 8-9 on the "I'm not scared to walk the streets scale"

Ironically it was a crack head wanting money. He got shirty when I said "not unless you take VISA!"

Strangely enough, I actually felt safer living in the dump known as Streatham Vale than I do today in a supposedly 'better' area of west London. I certainly hear of a lot more violent muggings in this area at least. Perhaps the thieves knew there was nobody worth mugging in Streatham Vale. Move to the ghetto I say.

My advice is to outsmart the muggers by looking more desperate than they are, always dress shabbily with plenty of stubble and adopt a menacing glare at anyone in your vicinty.

PS Dont try this in the office kids

I was. I have some knackered berghaus trainers, a T-Shirt with egg stains down it, some knackered combats, haven't shaved for 4 days and my hair is all over the place. Not only that I've got bloodshot eyes with big black circles round them so I look like a ******* crack head.

Yeah I went out to "West London", near westway/A40 the other day and it was ok until I realised that I was the only English White person on the street and that I was attracting attention by being in my own country.

I do live in a Ghetto - Leyton.

I was thinking of the Indiana Jones version.

* ninja pops out waving machetes going "wooooaaaaaaaaarrrrr!"
* indiana jones shoots the bugger dead.

I like that scene. Probably best not to replicate it on Leyton high street though...

Yes but I can't for various reasons at the moment.

Not only that, it was a nice area I got threatened in!

Your obviously walking and dressing like easy prey, try dressing like
a gang star and start grabbing ya nuts while out walking, they'll either think a) hes someone not to mess with, or b) he has crabs, lets leave him the fck alone ! Seriously though monkeychav, if you've been held up 4 times, then you really need to make a change somewhere, statistically its not looking good for you my friend.

Or start learning Mui Thai. Once you've caved someones knee in you'll find it a lot easier to run away.

Credited with "creating" what many believe to be the best scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) because Harrison Ford was suffering from a bout of dysentery at the time of filming: during the scene in Cairo with the swordsman in black, the script called for a much longer fight, but because of his condition, he quietly asked director Steven Spielberg if they could shorten the scene. Spielberg's reply was that the only way it could be done would be if Indy pulled out his gun and "just shot the guy." The rest of the crew, not aware of the change, laughed at this, and it remained in the final cut.

Good scene.
