Yeah I know we’re off topic but sometimes it’s nice to have a little chat BEISH. I know it’s not nice getting into fights, I only started boxing and martial arts because of bullies in primary school. I was fairly well equipped to deal with bullies in high school, but I’ll share a couple of funny stories with you while we wait to see what becomes of Felix’s visit to China
In high school I had tough mates and knew a few of the tough groups. One lunch time a group of blokes I surfed with but didn’t hang around gathered around a bloke one of them was going to fight.
I knew this bloke didn’t deserve to be beat up, so I got between him and the group to try and stop it. The group started pushing me out of the way so the fight could start and in the middle of the scuffle one of them knocked my lunch sandwiches out of my hands (I was actually trying to stop the fight with a half eaten sandwich in my hand).
Anyway, they were really good sandwiches mum used to make (ham, cheese and tomato), and I got so frustrated and upset by trying to stop the fight and my sandwich knocked onto the ground that I went off my head at them and even ended up crying while I was going off at them, anyway they all dispersed and the bloke didn’t get beat up so job done no sense being upset or embarrassed trying to do the right thing.
Another time in my twenties, a fight in a club broke out in front of me. Both big blokes twice my size and one of had a broken arm in a cast. The other bloke dropped the bloke with the broken arm and was going to beat on him so I jumped on his back. He continued pounding on the other bloke without even noticing me (like a mosquito


) on his back. When it broke up, I hopped off his back and walked off thinking how funny it was that I didn’t make any difference and trying to work out if I should be embarrassed or not
Anyway, as I said, it’s nice to have an occasional chat here…. Even though you laid the boot into that bloke, I reckon he deserved it, like you I hate bullies
