How did his nose get bloody? I read that you missed it, but this was never discussed?

Congrats on a winning session, and if this had been in the States you would have definitely seen some guns drawn.

It was a cut on the bridge of his nose, rather than a nosebleed. Not so much blood that he'd have needed a tissue. I didn't see how it happened, but I guess he was punched - maybe the Turkish guy was wearing a ring.

I really enjoy the way that English people don't even realize how ridiculous they seem when they casually use caste-based insults.

Why do you think it is ridiculous out of interest?

Here in North America everything must be PC, especially on an internet forum. For instance, if jimm's story was instead posted by FlyWF, you wouldn't be able to tell the race, gender, appearance, class, etc. of any of the characters in the story. In fact, he may have created fake profiles for each person to create a perfectly diversified and non-stereotypical crowd, just to be safe.

Also, no one but the English would make responses to Fly's post like 'Wow, a successful, well dressed elderly puerto rican man was beat up by a slender clean looking asian girl while some old black women watched porn on their laptops, seems weird'. No one but the English would find anything strange about that story because only the English are so prejudiced as to judge people by appearance.

Because it betrays a significant and deep personality flaw that you guys don't even have the good sense to be ashamed of your out-dated prejudices.

Good trip report jimm.

We need more trip reports in general from across the pond. If for nothing else than the terminology.

The English are always good for providing a larf.

Around 2am a stout, cheaply dressed, gel-haired young Englishman with a cheap sports bag started shouting at the middle-aged lank-haired semi-destitute Pole sitting next to him, telling him not to look at his screen.

[/ QUOTE ][ QUOTE ]
He asked the Pole to come outside to fight, then pushed his chair so he fell over hard onto his back.

[/ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]

The Turkish man had by now reached behind the counter for a three-foot long steel pole, and was wielding it as if he meant business.

[/ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]

The policewomen interviewed the Pole, but since the thug had gone there wasn't much they could do.


[/ QUOTE ]Shortened up a bit to make it more interesting/confusing.
