What would it take to provoke you to punch someone?

Haha! Nah, it was B Fest, a small-ish unsigned band festival. Was good except for that bit, aswell. They'd put up a dance tent which attracted the little shitty local chavs. There were many instances of trouble that night whereas usually it's a nice family festival. Don't think they'll be doing the dance tent this year.

For a beautiful and scenic part of the UK, there are a worrying number of horrid little sh*ts in it :lol:

Being about 6 foot, and probably not weighing more than about 65kg, I'm not exactly built for fighting. But I'd most definitely hit someone if properly provoked.

Violence to myself, or someone I was with would be more than enough, as would a guy not taking a hint when hitting on my girlfriend, or a girl friend I was with. Depending on how bad it was, verbal abuse would also get me punching.

Errmmm, I've never punched or punched anyone, apart from when I played Ice Hockey. I started a fight with one guy because he tripped me when I was skating up ice with the puck, and started a fight with another guy because he grabbed my face cage....

So in terms of Ice Hockey...it doesn't take much to provoke me. :lol:

Outside of it though, I genuinely can't think what would, I've got nothing in terms of muscle, so even if I did punch someone, I would get battered.

However, I think if someone hurt my girlfriend (physically), I would try my damn best to hurt them back.

I wouldn't hit someone that wasn't (a) bullying me in a long-term sense or (b) hitting me first.

As an aside: believe it or not I've not been subject to bullying for years. The last little run of name-calling (think "you a pussy, I'll bang yo mother!", at every available opportunity, over a period of about 2 weeks) ended in me hitting the dude, and then several of my friends hitting the dude, which I suppose just goes to show that violence does, after all, solve problems.

I can't think of much, I'm a bit of a coward really. If someone attacked my girlfriend/family/friends I'd wade in but other than that I'd shake it off.

We were coming home from New Years Eve in Lewisham and there were a bunch of 14 year old kids playing on the train tracks. My girlfriend made an exclaimstion along the lines of "That's a bit dangerous" and one of them heard her. They started hurling abuse and the others were physically holding the biggest of them (bigger than me anyway, and I'm 6'2 and 13 odd stone) back as he kept going on about "beef". Even though they were shouting some pretty horrible stuff, I never had the slightest inclination to do anything other than walk away. Just as well really, a few metres away was a freshly smashed up van surrounded by bricks.

The way I've been raised was that violence is never the answer, plus I really do not get pissed off that easily. I've been hit before in succesion and then done the following which happens whenever something hits me:

a)laughed because I felt no pain
b)stood there and nodded my head saying "that it?"

Then I've just walked away. The only way I would get physical is if I was seriously hurting, or if I was saving a friend or family member, even then I'd just move them away, only if the attacker had a weapon or struck me would I strike.

Through my recent experience it would seem drunkenly and persistently dancing with another lads bird is usually enough.

I've never hit anyone but I've got a lot of anger built up so if someone did piss me off I'd unleash it in a flurry of pussy slaps.

You're in the wrong sitcom. You're clearly Niles Crane.

I used to be quite aggressive and violent at school, but it was mainly my friends who bore the brunt of it ( :fp:

). I could've got into a lot of fights, but had more sense than that. These days it'd take a lot to get me riled, although if someone attacked me/my friends/family/girlfriend I'd have no qualms about getting involved.

Quite a lot, I'm pretty calm, I'll get angry and yell but I wont hit. I know when it's dumb to yell to. Luckily, my mates all go gym and one does kickboxing/mma so I've got backup 8-)

Don't know how I would fair in a fight, I'm 6'2" so I've got some height, no real weight though, probably get battered.

This.

I've always seemed to manage to avoid getting into trouble or attracting it. Though should it come my way I feel confident I could hold my own, possibly. 6'3 and 14 stone of me could do some damage.

But like JJ says, only if it's unavoidable in the last resort

Didn't you take someone out for trying to rob you on the dancefloor or something?

Are you Robbo?

Are you thinking of SoulCaliber, Earl Grey? He told a few tales in his time, that sounds like one of his.

A little while ago my mate was messing around and being a bit of a dick and shoved me a bit too hard, and being in a bad mood already I sort of got the red mist and spontaneously whalloped him in the face.

Apologies were swiftly made and I had to go and calm down for a bit afterwards. It was the wussiest burst of violence ever. I've never done anything like it before or since.

I could have sworn it was Robbo. Maybe not...

It would take a lot to get me angry enough. If someone was threatening my family/mates/gf and persisting after being told to stop then I'd step in. I've had the odd idiot try starting on me but it's usually all been talk. I think one time I pretended I was Spanish and had no grasp of the English language. :fp:

Although being 6'1" and about 85kgs means I've got some weight to throw around should the need arise. Not sure how well I'd fair though...

I've never really been in a proper fight, but I think I'd do okay if pushed beyond the breaking point. The person I hit would have to really be getting on my tits or say something really hurtful for me to boff him one.

Though to be fair, I am a bit of a pussy.

I'm quite a tall and I'm not denying it but quite large aswell but I get bullied at school by this 1 prick called tommy Hayes. I feel sorry for him as his uncle died a year ago but everytime I see him he jumps on me puts his arms round my throat and whatever I have drink money food be makes me give it to him. Until the other day he did what I said he does but I just refused and socked him right on the nose. I get to keep my stuff now but people do still call me a word I hate. Fat tub of lard. Hate it so much the last person who done it I made lie in the middle of the road screamin " I DONT CARE ANYMORE" his fault. But I always walk away unless it's about my family or friends
