adonirum Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Such knowledgeable violent talk from the (clearly now erstwhile) genteel folk of E.D.

KidKruger Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 "How about if you're a Filipino stick fighting expert? Half a cue in each hand might be handy".Eskrima innit. Breaking the cue in two wastes time tho. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/63898-the-man-of-kent-nunhead/page/3/#findComment-865617 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otta Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Donatello was my second favourite turtle, and I think that is enough to make me a Bo staff expert. The cue would become a lethal weapon in my hands.And then I'd eat pizza (or cheese on toast as it's an old skool boozer).

KidKruger Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 There was a guy Charlie in my hometown who I scrapped with regularly, I had to always be on the lookout because he wouldn't announce himself before he attacked, I usually got the better of him which is why he was always after more - to get his revenge.He would vanish to the Gents and come back with a tool, he had 'me hidden in cisterns in the main (rough) watering holes.Couple of decades later I'm heading with a mate to Amsterdam for a chilled weekend. Who should appear in the queue getting off the plane but Charlie, who I'd already told my companion about many times.Charlie showed us where a good bar was, we played pool, got drunk etc. Then just as we were walking out of the bar to find next bar/club, Charlie said oh hold on a mo I've just got to pop in to the loo.Charlie had already said he's a regular at that bar.So I said to my mate let's run, we ran about 2 miles to a hotel and I was shitting myself at next bar that he'd turn up armed. Didn't see him tho, thank heavens.Blast from the past.

*Bob* Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Know what you mean, Kid. I pushed Mark from the fourth year into a bed of stinging nettles at primary and, er.. No, actually I don't think it's the same.

KidKruger Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 RD - that's funny. And symptomatic of my (then) relationship with Charlie.Bizarrely, on a separate occasion, Charlie did attack me with a wooden pole (snapped off a broom) as per the Peter Sellers film, he knocked on the door of my bedsit and when I opened it the sharp broken end speared towards my face. Luckily I lived in a constant state of readiness for the arrival of said Charlie-boy. I had some chain nunchuckas hung on back of door (as opposed to my japanese hardwood chord set, which were hung on the wall) so I used these to parry the pole and gain possession of it as the chain links bit into the wood. On that occasion he ran off, having been de-tooled.

Otta Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 So not only would you fight in the pub, but this bloke would actually come to where you were living to attack you?Why wasn't he in prison?Or somewhere like broadmoor?

KidKruger Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Ha ha - he was quite persistent.At the time it was a hassle, true.After seeing him in NL I googled him and he's wanted by Interpol for fraud in Germany and Spain, I never trusted him I have to say.
