Otta Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Saw my first ever proper pub fight in the MoK in the mid 90s. Pissed Irish blokes and pool cues.

Jah Lush Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 AQM, you seem to have got a bit of bee in your bonnet these past few days. Anyway, Man Of Kent. Went there once about eight years ago. I had an OK time. Didn't like it much though. Haven't been back.

Help-Ma-Boab Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Was in JW on Saturday for a couple pints - it is a great pub....after a quick pint in the back beer garden of The Chancery. I like it up there.Rest of pubs not so good....although the Sat afo, Ibiza beats in the outside bar at La Rasscass was interesting.

david_carnell Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Schoolboy error picking up a cue. Pick up three or four balls. No one wants to get in the way of those and cues don't work in confined spaces.I think I read that in a book on pool hustling.

Louisa Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Nunhead isn't all that bad, and you're more likely to be hit by a flying focaccia if you venture into the Old Nun's Head pub these days. Once a great pub. Now the closest you'll get to a pool cue punch up is a minor gentleman's disagreement over who chooses the best bottle of Chablis on the menu. Louisa.

Jeremy Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 RD/DC - was assuming the ball-in-sock wouldn't work in a bar fight. Was actually wondering if the advice was to simply pick the ball up in your hand and smack someone with it. I've heard that salt cellars can be used too (although such items are a bit too poncy for proper boozers, I know).

KidKruger Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 One ball in each hand is sufficient, swinging things around like cues and filled socks is in the movies.You may want to use the cue to break a couple of the windows, that'll get people calling the police - handy if you think you're gonna be requiring rescue from the situation.

Jeremy 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.

Otta Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Nah, grab a pool ball and smack someone in the head with it, it will hurt. Throwing just hands them your weapon.
