A worker in our factory has just used his fist for the first time in his life at the age of 60 to punch a TLS.
Just watched him being escorted out of the building!
Whats a TLS?
[quote=ski said] TLS.
Thoroughly likeable sort ?
The cad!
thieving lying scrote?
JLS tribute band?
Totally, like, something?
1983 ish.
About three years ago. To stop them from swallowing stolen jewellery and potentially choking themselves.
Worked too.
A team leader support 😉 they get ****ted quite often here, think it's in their job description
Times Literary Supplement?
I got jumped by a few guys while walking through a park a few years ago. I think I managed to punch someone, but it could have just been my hand hitting the ground after the third or fourth blow to the head knocked me out 🙂
Times Literary Supplement - escorted of the premises seems a little harsh
edit:baah - beat me to it!
About 2-3 times a week.
In the gym.
1983 ish.
Funny that me too! Army boxing comp.
When I was 16.
does a donkey punch count?? 😈
About 5yrs ago when out with a mate. I told him if he came back from the bar with another tray of absinthe shots I would punch him in the face.
He did.
I did.
In anger? not needed to since school (and I didn't [i]need[/i] to then either!).
In martial arts training? So often I loose count. As long as you're padded up, it's all OK!
sometime in secondary school so >20years ago, I think personally I've only had about 3 fights, been embroiled in a couple since but haven't actually thrown a punch.
About 1994. The bloke I tried to punch ducked and I smacked the huge Maori who was restraining him straight in the face. That brought a swift end to hostilities.
My brother. Some point in the mid-eighties
Can't remember the last time a actually punched some one, probably 15-20 years ago, I used to have a tendency to fight a bit in my younger days, which I'm not proud of BTW.
But i got into a bit of a comedy altercation with someone 9 years ago on my 30th birthday. Some guy swung for my mate whilst trying to jump into a taxi that was stopping for us, I grabbed him and shoved him up against some gates, which then opened and we both fell to the floor. He was extremely drunk and could hardly stand, so I thought it was unfair to hit him, even though he was doing his best to hit me. I told him a few time to stop trying to hit me or I would knock him out, but he kept trying. He then swung for me one last time missed by a mile and ended up punching his own GF in the face! At which point we thought it was probably better leaving.....
1978-ish
2006 down in manchester(utd v celtic), it was quickly followed by a flying kick to the teeth to another. I was in the right, and the polis agreed! 🙂 I basically pulled up some racist **** celtic fans(I don't recognise them as such) for being abusive to a black lassie behind a counter, his mates tried attacking me, I got away, phoned my mates who where across the road as I was going to get mauled by a larger group outside, a bit of a ruckus started outside, we got the better of it! 🙂
I initially started running away when the polis turned up, but quickly thought, here wait a minute, I wasn't in the wrong, and turned and explained the situation to the polis. they asked if I wanted to bring charges after talking to the shop, but i just left it at that, they never caught anyone else and there wasn't really any point in taking it any further.
About 10 years ago - walking home on my own from evening out (ironically not drunk as I was racing the next day), town was busy with groups of drunks. Crowd of rugby types grabbed me, threw me on the hood of a parked car and jumped on top of me. I got a couple of punches in before they figured out that I wasn't finding their hilarious joke very amusing, and was in fact terrified.
1986 I think - school stuff.
Both road rage incidents. A bmw tried to run my mate off the road. Then he bleeped his horn in disgust and the bmw screeched to a halt and a passenger got out and tried to push my mate of his bike. So I got off a cracked him round the chops.
Early this year, a car side swiped me so I pressed the horn, as above screeched to a halt and started pushing me on my motorbike and kicking me, so I got off and cracked him twice.
I don't fight but endanger my life, friends and family and I'll become very aggressive.
Have never committed an act of physical violence against another person outside of a gym or sportsfield
January..
A close associate announced his intention to have a relationship with the then very recently estranged mother of my children..
We went out for a few drinks to discuss our feelings on the matter and after a very civilised afternoon of friendly drinking, once we were good and drunk, he invited me to punch him in the face..
I took him up on his offer immediately with very unsatisfactory results as my aim was a little off and I didn't get any weight behind it due to the drink..
I explained that I prefer to fight when sober and requested another shot under more favourable conditions..
He politely declined my request
Tuesday. Someone asked me to price-match CRC and then offered to pay in Jaffa Cakes.
Can't remember last time I punched someone, at a guess it would have been in my teens. So 30 years ago. Yeh I know rubbish story, don't know why I posted.
As "mate" who was saying inappropriate things about MrsCoolhandluke (before she became MrsCoolhandluke) in about 1990
One swift punch, and he fell on his arse about 5 feet further back from where he started off.
Last Friday in Stretford Tesco's, when an altercation over a big telly got out of hand
1999, the night after watching Fight Club at uni the male members of our household (about 6 of us) decided to get smashed then do our own version in the garden.
it started off in a playful manner but ended up quite heavy. I got pile-driven into a concrete floor on my head and it kicked off after that... not 100% sure what happened but there were some black eyes and bloody noses the next morning...
before that it was at junior school 10 years earlier.
A kid tried to steal my dinner money when I was about 13. I punched him, broke his nose and glasses then commenced jumping on his head.
I nearly got expelled. Nobody really cared about bullies in the 80s. Nobody tried to bully me again.
Ive never punched anyone, or been punched
At school over 40 years ago. Until this March when a seriously out of it **** tried to mug me in DIdcot Station carpark. To be fair he probably did most of the work of falling over himself and my punch just toppled him slightly. He was a bit dizzy from have a Solarstorm 2 shone in his eyes from 6 inches away.
In retrospect I was very lucky he wasn't a bit more alert - I'm a runner, not a fighter.
I once punched a horse to the ground
I've never thrown a punch that I can think of.
I just stand and grin stupidly it unnerves people!

When I was 14ish in a school fight. (c1983)
1982 when I was 5 years old. A mate bit the plastic helmet of my spaceman smurf and broke it off.
So I punched him.
A few months ago when an idiot driver thought he would force me off the road at a traffic light junction. Wound the window down to ask what his problem was. Before I knew what was happening he'd got out of the car ran round and tried to punch me through the open window. I caught his wrist and jacket dragging towards the car and he kissed the top of door spraying blood everywhere. By the time I'd gotten out of the car he was almost cowering by his door so I just slapped him round the head calling him a dick and walked off shaking my head. The other drivers who'd witnessed it were beeping their horns and giving me the thumbs up.
When I got back in the car I couldn't stop my left leg from shaking and kept stalling the car. It took me at least 30 minutes to cool down again.
probably when I was at secondary school, so mid-1980s.
However I did come very close to thumping a very obnoxious project manager in a shipyard in Newcastle about 6 years ago.. thankfully common sense got the better of me, and I backed down.

Good reason to punch anybody
OT but, as a youngster (as in too young to be in a pub), myself and a couple of school mates were out drinking in pubs. We were in one fairly rough pace and we heard some noise coming from the back of the pub. Going to have a look I learned about a brand new sport I'd never heard of called a Punch In The [url= http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pus ]Pus (see 2 for definition)[/url] contest. For this the contestants stand facing each other in the middle of the floor, a coin gets tossed and the winner goes first. Literally punches the other one in the pus (or "bang in the pus" according to rules and what the audience were shouting). If the recipient of the bang in the pus stays on his feet, he gets a return shot. Then repeat til one falls over.
I declined the offer to take part.
A few years later, I was working in a bar when the manager was going on holiday and a relief manager came in. His assistant was the undisputed Punch In the Pus Champion, and looked like it.
