(?) indeed, but close. It was Roosevelt.Originally posted by Menelaus View PostTrue, but I'm a pacifist. As Eisenhower(?) said "Speak softly, and carry a large stick". I'm 6ft1 and reasonably well built (=the stick).
Eisenhower said "You don't lead by hitting people over the head: that's assault, not leadership."

If you are a pacifist why use language like that? Really aggressive and dangerous (and actually, almost certainly unnecessary)Originally posted by Menelaus View PostTrue, but I'm a pacifist. As Eisenhower(?) said "Speak softly, and carry a large stick". I'm 6ft1 and reasonably well built (=the stick).
Unless I have this totally wrong there are 6 people who are scaring you and .. er .. one of you (6ft1 or not)? Why wind them up?
Been in dodgy situations. Avoided serious injuries. Talk if you don't want your jaw broken - or worse (Zip - no ninja 5ft4)

Aww, the ******* diddums.Originally posted by gingerjedi View PostChavs don't use skateboards, I think you have your youth stereotypes mixed up as these were most probably 'skater dudes' who are generally harmless.
So you were rude to a bunch of kids who were probably about to warn you about using expensive mobile devices in a rough area... you nasty man.
These skater tw@s weren't particularly cute and a lot more aggressive than I'd normally expect.

On the way home sur le Tube a chav on a skateboard surrounded by his mates asked me if the Blackberry I was using had ever been stolen to which my answer (which admittedly may have taken him aback somewhat) was:
"No, and it's not being nicked today by you and your mates, clear, ****tard?"
