    Very possible. They were certainly ***** with a big enough, false enough view of their own self-importance.

    If you are a pacifist why use language like that? Really aggressive and dangerous (and actually, almost certainly unnecessary)
    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.



    These skater tw@s weren't particularly cute and a lot more aggressive than I'd normally expect.

    Possibly a tad aggressive Menelaus. Or iz u well 'ard? Have found if you actually talk to 'dodgy' characters they are OK (prob easier if pissed).

    One too many asterisks btw
