    Karmas a bitch isn't. Just spoke to my mate since Xmas.

    Now turns out that this wasn't the first time he'd kicked off and that on a previous do he'd kicked off and had to be manhandled out. He'd only be in the group I was in my accident and had managed to get himself an invite as someone else had told his wife they were going out.

    Turned out he woke up black and blue having had a major kicking with no recollection of the night before. Also turns out that his missus who wears the pants had allowed him out on the grounds he didn't get into any grief. He's now been 'grounded' indefinitely.

    So obviously the words 'He's still kicking off, we'll deal with it' from one of the blokes to me as I walked off consisted of him getting a shoeing.

    Got to love Karma.

    Some of you lot have never been to a proper pub. I filmed this at the last CUK meet-up. See if you can guess which posters appear:

I told him to back off and he was out of order & so he decided to swing at me. So I walked off with the other fella and a minute later I got blindsided from the side. Bit blurry after that but he landed up on the floor and then a group who had seen it all held him down and then manhandled him away.

    So I’ve got a nice shiner. But not putting up with that tulip.
    Call in the law and sue the homophobic chunt

    Indeed it is

    Fetish Fight Club


    VICE enters the underground fetish wrestling community fuelled by social media site, MeetFighters.com - a dating site for gay men who fight each other for sexual gratification.

    Members of the site set up wrestler profiles and send out match requests to organise no holds barred fights in living rooms, hotel rooms...
