You kinda got it. I'd say the cuts on my hand were pretty minor, but something made him think he'd seen me in a row before or summat. I'd say my friend intervening was the main thing tbh. But only one of the brothers was being a twat and saying he could **** us up at first, and the second only rounded on my other mate when he thought he was gonna draw a knifeRakuraiTenjin said:Wait what just happened?
So you had wounds on your hands from work related injuries, some guy thought it was from kicking asses, and it made some tough guy who wanted to prove he could beat all you up back down? (Along with other issues making him back down)
Got the gist of it right? Yeah?
Weird. Also what's a danger of death sign? I thought it meant you had that look to you that you'd kill them all in a scuffle or something but then you literally meant an object that he threw over a fence or something.

mortiz said:Yes, because in the U.S. you know everyone dances around with flowers in their hair hugging and telling each other how much they love one another, and there definitely isn't neigh on 13,000 murders per year. and the U.S. certainly doesn't have an organized crime problem.
ComradeBadger said:I've just come rather close to becoming involved in an altercation with two 19 year old chaps.
Myself and two associates were meandering home from a friends boat following a few alcoholic beverages. During this pleasant stroll home, we encountered a pair of local siblings, who attempt to solicit a cigarette from us. After explaining that we were unable to comply with their request, they proceeded to strike up a polite conversation. Since they were familiar with one of my closer associates, everything was hunky-dory. I also happened to be carrying an illicitly procured construction sign thereby prompting one of the siblings to advise "Excuse me young chap, i would like to offer some complimentary words of advice. You really oughtn't to be flouting your possession of that particular information board since it may draw some unwanted attention." to which i replied "Thank you for your kind words of advice, though i care not for the consequences of my actions." and relinquish the information board to him. This particular sibling then proceeds to hurl the sign over the fence of a local supermarket. I feel somewhat nonchalant about the loss of this particular item. Since there happened to be a little of my blood on the sign (I'd suffered a minor laceration on my hand after coming into contact with broken glass) the same sibling questioned "May i enquire as to how you recieved your injury?" prompting me to relive the ordeal. At this juncture, i would like to add that my vocation requires frequent use of knives, resulting in a number of minor lacerations on my knuckles.
Same sibling then proceeds to say "Good evening young sir, I do believe you're a spiffing chap and close assocaites with this fellow here (gesturing to one of my chums) and i do believe that i may have spotted you frequenting the town centre, so I have no qualm with you." During this conversation, this chap's sibling proceeds to cause a scene stating his belief that he would be able to defeat myself and my two chums in a physical battle. The first sibling then states "Excuse me my dear brother, but these chaps are all of the same age as i so i don't believe your assertions to be correct." During this time, myself and one of my pals refuse to lower our gazes or act in any way to provoke these volatile chaps, so they proceed to taunt my other associate. Initially, one of the two ruffians moves towards my chum and enquires as to whether he might be concealing a knife, explaining that his suspicions had arisen from my pal having his hands placed in his pockets. I didn't believe that he would further his altercation since he'd earlier stated his approval of my other associate and i. However, this chaps brother then begins to remove his upper garments indicating that he may be about to commence fistycuffs.
Obviously, at this point i too am preparing myself for an exchange of blows, by positioning my keys between my fingers for use as a makeshift weapon. Also, my other chum proceeds to intervene in an attempt to diffuse the situation, though at the same time i can also see him preparing to deliver the first blow. After some moments, the siblings calm down largely due to the fact that a) they are familiar with one of my chums (who happens to be a member of a large family unit here in Favesham) b) they are aware that i am a close associate of the intended victim and the siblings had spyed the lacerations on my hand c) it would have proven a numerically unfair challenge, and despite the injury-inflicting potential of their 'bling-bling' adornments, i do declare that my pals and i would have been victorious.
This story prompts me to ask the question... what is with the youth of today?
Post of the year man.. very nice ;-)Griz said:Just thought i'd offer up a rough translation of this amazing tale for those non-Brits......

I've never seen someone trying to start fights in the streets like seems to happen to all of you, and I live in one of the biggest cities in the US. No one ever comes up and asks for a cigarrete or to borrow your phone (unless its in an emergency) and you're certainly not going to get beat up for saying no over here. You call them "chavs" well guess what, we don't have them, we (like every other country) have criminals sure, but we certainly don't have a crime problem whatsoever.
Compare the crim rate with canada, which has roughly the same population, and youll see why guncontrol works.DreadLord1337 said:Don't act like thats some absolutely huge number.

We had previously liberated it :Evegeta897 said:Ofcourse I thought of that, but it seemed way too literal Why would you be carrying one?
And Ennui, you've never heard of 'hunky-dory'?
Ennui said:After sifting through the complexities of the British slang there, I have come to the conclusion: "What the ****?"
Ennui said:All of a sudden, Stern startles me a bit.
mortiz said:And you don't have Chavs, but you certainly have "wiggers" and ghettos where crime is rife.
There are 3 main families the Lees, the Boswells, and the Clifftons. The two brothers we ran into were Clifftons. My friend who knew them is a Lee. The families have grudging respect for each other, but have rows too - family and who you know counts for a hell of a lot round here.
What exactly is a Chav? Is it like the British equivalent of a gangster wanna-be?
