UK'ers - is this true?
 

According to Health Magazine the most popular assault weapon in the United Kingdom is the beer glass. Naturally, there is now a move afoot in Britain for "beer glass control."


This is kind of humorous! Beer Glass Control! Did this work?

-S

Well, when you think about it, a regulation requiring that all beer mugs and glasses used in a public place be made of unbreakable, or at least non-sharding glass, would make sense.

Especially in a country with public health care.

So instead of cuts and gashes they'll have more crushed skulls. Ban the item 4TW.

It makes sense... as many assults are drunken brawls in tavens. They are after all, the nearest thing to hand.

How about a mug license?

If you don't have one, it's paper cups for the rest of your life.

I smell a Monty Python episode idea.

Yup, many large outdoor events where booze is served only in those nasty plastic pint 'glasses' to save the St. Johns Ambulance service having to pick bits of broken glass out of revelers faces. Likewise many nightclubs will not let you take bottled beer off their property into the streets outside for the same reason.
Our local music festival held once a year in our main city park, as of last year, no longer allow partygoers to the event to bring their own drink- the end of a long tradition of getting totally hammered in the sunshine listening to all the local bands highlight and a few nationally known names. All so they can cut down rowdy behaviour and squeeze a modecum of 'proffit' through the sale of watered-down lukewarm John Smith's Best Bitter and Carling Premier. Gack!

Personally i prefer using bar stools in all my barroom brawls.

Have you seen the damage that can be done with a plastic pint cup?

No - care to share? :)

Yes. Back in Australia we use them for this important community activity! :up:

Hey that's gives me a idea how to get rich quick open up a beer glass warehouse :yep:

Yea we got lots of drunks so many we should give them away free of charge anyone want one? :()1:

personaly i use beer bottle

Oh, damn! So much for shattering the beer bottle on the bar to use as a weapon. ;) :D

Yup your behind the times :) hang on are we in front of you guys in the USA :roll: you still using bottles :doh:

Interesting topic!

This is what an Hells Angel told me:

When facing a bar fight situation unarmed, first grab one or two of the ashtrays around and then position yourself with the back to the wall. The ashtrays are of good use as kind of brass knuckles. It will be very difficult to disarm you. You can hit harder without hurting yourself. Keep the others at arm’s length and move out of the bar. They will let you pass. Keep your back to the wall, all the time.

If you have to fight: once the opponent is all knocked out quickly, take the pliers you carry with you for that purpose and pull out a front teeth as a reminder for the guy when he wakes up and tries to smile to the mirror. Add the teeth to your teeth collection (necklace) as a trophy.

Learning activities:
Discuss with an Hells Angel whether the spelling is “Hell’s Angels� instead of “Hells Angels� and what should be written on the back of his jacket correctly.
Alternatively, find out, if you can convince the jury that you indeed are carpenter by trade or dentist and not an Hells Angel.
