How things can escalte

On Saturday Bev & I went to Aldi, whilst we were packing our shopping into the bags a guy rammed Bev with his trolley on his way out (I didn’t see it) as we got out he was returning his trolley so I said “excuse me but when you ram your trolley into someone it’s good manners to apologise” “who did I ram?” He asked when Bev told him he just grunted, I said “was that grunt meant to be an apology?” He smirked, by this point I was getting angry & started towards him responded by saying “you don’t want to mess with me I’m trained in martial arts” I said “ok then lets see if your martial arts are better than my boxing” he nearly ran to his car, as he set off he tooted his horn & flipped a finger.

I have to remind myself I'm no longer 20 and able to have a proper tear up. But there are some real arseholes out there that need a good slap sadly I can no longer hand it out.

Ahhh.. But once a boxer, always a boxer... My son in laws father was 80+ when he passed, but could still knock a fairground punchball thing right the way round the dial

Until you get arthritis in your elbows, sometimes the red mist descends & you don’t think of the consequences, looking back the guy may have had a mental deficiency or he may just have been an arsehole, I do know that if I’d punched him I would have hurt him (my arms would probably never recover)

My great grandfather died at the age of 74 as a result of injuries from a wrestling bout.
The injuries were from the fourth bout, having already beaten three much younger guys.
I have a cutting from the local paper reporting it.

I doubt it would ever have gone further than it did unless you clobbered him first. The majority of those trained in any combat sport don’t usually announce it, especially if they’re any good at it.

It was blatantly obvious the guy had never trained in any sport.

I bet he told all his friends at nursery school about the incident.

It'll be all over Facebook, too. Prolly a keyboard warrior.

What sort of berk would post online about an incident like this?

The same sort of clown that would tell a complete stranger he was trained in martial arts, run off to his car when confronted and drive off tooting his horn and shooting a finger. What's the word I'm looking for? Oh yes, that's it, 'cock'.

(No, the irony or sarcasm hasn't escaped me ).

What were you doing in Yorkshire?

As I get older & less able to endure a long bout I find getting your retaliation in first works really well

Obviously at some point I will come unstuck with that, but it wont be the first time i've had a good kicking & its not something I worry about overly so if someone really needs a slap then .............................

Martial arts from a distance from the school of 'Eyeee fecky'offy' ...You had a lucky escape..

When I worked in a pub we had an elderly customer, 70s at least, who driank there because he had an argument with a committee man at the club and got barred. He ended it by smacking him and putting him on the floor. Some months later they let him back in for the VE Day celebrations. Next day he went back thinking his exile was over and was fefused service by the same committee man. Yep you guessed it, he decked him again. He may have been old but had hands like shovels and could use em

Hard to understand why he was banned.

I know he was a lovely guy

 

[Me!]

I preferred it when you were working. Go and help out in the valleys. You’re becoming a nuisance on here again.

When he wasn’t punching you in the face.....,
