I like the Tai-Chi fifteen second rule - it sums it all up rather nicely.

Anger is an instant hit of adrenaline which can aid survival and immediate needs. I'm all for the personal freedom of intense localised violence to keep oneself and ones loved ones safe.

Also, remember the days when if you really had a bad fall out with a neighbour or someone who drank in your pub then it was solved by some fisticuffs which usually ended with a couple of local big guys dragging you apart by your hair while a common woman with no tights on would shout "Leave it, he ain't werf it Barry!" repeatedly?

I spoke to a copper about this when I was having problems with the guy around the corner - he'd had a slanging match with my wife in the street, something which would have been a broken nose offence ten years ago. The copper agreed that ten years ago if I had done that to him they wouldn't have bothered about it but nowadays they'd have to charge me. Afore-mentioned copper said the old days of fisticuffs was much more peaceful as now people couldn't do that they just let things build up until eventually someone would go round with a carving knife, gun or a can of petrol.

As for pub fights I was in them or on the fringes of them every week. I remember many times either standing victorious with my mates or running away bruised but still laughing, only to pick small pieces of glass from my head when I got home. Noone really seemed to get hurt beyond bruises and general abrasions. Now you don't see many pub fights but the ones you do see end up in broken heads and stabbings.

Bring back casual violence and let's make the world a safer place to be.

Casual violence is all very well, but George W. Bush and Tony Blair don't drink in my local pub. Inconsiderate gobshites the two of em...
