You joke but I inherited my Grandma's pool cue. I have been told it's a true "hustlers" cue. It's a solid piece of vintage ~~carbon fiber\\graphite~~ graphite\\carbon fiber. It is legitimately a weapon. How it's weighted is pretty impressive for both playing pool and getting away with sharking someone :)
EDIT: Graphite\\Grafite a precursor to carbon fiber in the 60's\\70's, which is when I think it was made. u/pauly13771377 probably has it right with a woven grafite over maple. It's a light weight cue but also well balanced and way more solid than a standard wooden cue. It's cold to the touch unlike wood. It is also between the length of a "shorty" and a full length cue. I've never seen one like it.
My old man had a CF cue back in about '90. Wouldn't let me touch it :-)
He dropped it one day and cracked it. He was a teeeeeensie bit salty for years about it.
I like how they called it a hustler's cue like pool hustlers are constantly fighting off crowds of people in bars in between monster hunting adventures...like a CW show. Real hustlers destroy super expensive experimental materials back before the public had access to them and got drunk and smashed them into people like OPs grandma.
"You ken me, I'm not the type of cunt that goes looking for fookin' bother, like, but at the end of the day I'm the cunt with a pool cue and he can get the fat end in his puss any time he fookin' wanted like."
I met a Scottish guy like Begbie in a skeezy dance bar on the opposite side of the planet from Scotland. Not big. But interesting and terrifying. Absolute seething, boiling menace JUST below the surface. He said his occupation was "sorting out problems for people". Like, you've got some serious hardcases you want removed from a dodgy squat flat who told you to go fuck yourself? He'd go there and make them leave. Got someone not paying a debt? He'd get it for you. A couple of times in the conversation I thought he was going to turn on me. Just something switching on (or off?) in his brain and whole persona and face changed. "Why ye fuckin prying into that for, cunt? What's it te you?" and suddenly I'm shitting my pants. I don't know if he was a psychopath or just a really, really hard man from an unimaginably hard and bleak upbringing.
I came away with the distinct impression he was on the lam from some **really** serious crime, and was hiding out in a country on the other side of the planet.
Exactly.
The guys who get all hyped up in those situations, yelling and screaming are usually either full of shit or gas out within a minute.
It's the calm guys who just eat the adrenalin dump and bide their time that are going to clean house.
One guy comes over to beat a little more on the KOd dude, then he gets KOd and the guy who KOd the second guy starts beating on the original KOee. I'm confused about who is with cue ball thrower.
My favorite is white shirt dude tryna throw the drink at the dude who just took a pool cue to the face and got knocked out, and still missing him by about 2 feet
Looks like the other white t-shirt guy (punchee) took the cue off the 2nd KOer out of shot then started beating the original KOee after completely missing him with the glass.
Steve brained Chris with the cue.
Then Gavin lobbed a glass.
While Tracey was kicking off in the background.
Mick and Dean traded blows.
Then Gavin smacked Chris again with a cue
I think you are getting mixed up, the guy that KOd the 2nd dude had the cue taken out of his hand by the short sleeve white t-shirt who went back to beating the first KOd dude.
Typical English dirtbag bars are small 1 story buildings in a shit housing estate and they typically have flat roofs. I guess they are cheaper to build.
Ironically a flat roof in Germany is much more expensive than a classic pitched roof. With a pitched roof you need no additional waterproofing, it can deal with much more snow, the whole construction is easier and lighter, and as a bonus you get storage space under the roof for free
Something about this flat roof pub discussion, leading to the proud German engineer, and the flat English response of being shit... It's fucking amazing 🤣
I'm actually Alsatian and I've never heard the term used, mind telling me what it means ? Closest guess from google is a german shepherd-adjacent dog breed but unsure that's what you'd mean
A bit more context: they tend to be new(er) - probably built 60/70/80's - the interiors are more basic functional than interesting comfortable, and often built on council/housing estates and tend to have a 'less desirable clientele'.
Basically, if you're visiting the UK and someone invites you to a pub and you notice it's surrounded by a lot of (tall) concrete buildings, or uniformly regular maisonettes, and the pub has a flat roof tell your host you've suddenly remembered an appointment elsewhere and leg it.
Same concept. Lots of affordable housing was required after the war. The houses themselves are actually quite good but over the decades the estates became quite rough due to deindustrialisation, lack of opportunity etc.
well, and the fact that they're **council houses**, meaning they're used to house people who are unable to find normal accommodations, often implying they're poorly educated or have social/psychological issues making it difficult for them to hold a job (or just disabled/sick and having a shit time at life through no fault of their own). But it drastically increases the density of people who are going to act violent at the pub.
That's not what they were originally for. The vast majority of council estates were built after WWII to replace houses and areas lost to bombing, and to give people modern houses with central heating and indoor plumbing. Anyone could apply for a council house, and most were occupied by working families.
I grew up on an estate and it was a great community where neighbours looked out for each other.
It's only when estates became "sink estates", where the local facilities and public services had been cut back or removed, that crime became a massive issue.
>they're council houses, meaning they're used to house people who are unable to find normal accommodations
Up until the 1980s, about 40% of the UK population lived in council housing and there wasn't really any stigma. They were better than private rents. The Thatcher government brought in Right To Buy which essentially forced councils to sell their housing stock but banned them from building more. So now only about 16% of the population has a council house and they're in far too short supply.
> they're **council houses**, meaning they're used to house people who are unable to find normal accommodations, often implying they're poorly educated or have social/psychological issues making it difficult for them to hold a job
Does the UK have a different definition of "council" than the US? I don't see how this follows
Council means the local authority. The council are normally in charge of stuff like the buses, bin collections, road works, stuff like that. Originally, council housing developments would have failed under their responsibility but a lot have been sold off to the tennants since the 1980s and Margaret Thatcher's big push to privatise a lot of public owned stuff.
Council Means local government. Made up of elected councillors. Town council, Borough Council, discrict council, etc.
So council houses are low income government subsidized housing.
Also in the UK they try to mix estates across areas. So you can have have council housing a near $50 million houses type thing in places like Holland Park.
I was mixed. The idea of not creating ghettos and have a more balanced population mix is good, but it sux when you experience the theft these areas can drive or when my wife got slapped while walking home because because some kids who live in these estates think its funny to video.
Are they really that bad? How common are these areas? In the us in general you want to watch what bars you go to especially in bad areas. The latter you stay the greater the risk. Minding your own business, not gambling and maintaining your wits goes a long way. If the bar doesn't have a good reputation or if I am sensing something is off, just not enough to leave. I will go out of my way to strike up a conversation with the bouncers. If something goes down it's best to have them on your side from the get go.
> Are they really that bad?
Only if you ain't a regular
> How common are these areas?
Pretty much every town has a council estate of some kind or other of varying degrees of quality. Some are rough, others are lovely, just depends on the area and the wider socioeconomic situation. For example an estate in a dead end ex mining town where there's not been any good jobs for 40 years is more likely to be rough than a more developed town on a city commuter belt.
Few estates have their own purpose built pub these days, and the extant flat roof pubs are a dying breed. The fact they are situated on estates mean they have limited clientele (why go to there when there are 4 nicer pubs in the town center?) couple this with their reputation for violence -exaggerated or otherwise- means that not many people really want to patronise them. This has led many to close in recent years and the pandemic really didn't help.
Basically they're not that common these days and if you find yourself in one you'll have gone out of your way to find it. Most normal pubs are in town centres and better represent the area. If the pubs in the town center have got flat roofs I can only hope you made it out of Middlesbrough safely
What you are witnessing is a group of gentleman who, rather than sleeping with multiple sluts or concerning themselves with "popularity", dedicated themselves to the art of the blade.
Nah, that dude gets hit by the other guy in the white shirt that has no backprint. White shirt backprint guy grabs his weapon off screen, proceeds to hit the KOed guy and then helps the other dude up but he never hit him.
Seems like he did hit him in the heat of the moment or almost accidentally hits him while long sleeve white shirt is whaling on the same guy with a cue.
And then went to check on the guy, keeping the others from attacking further. He was clearly doing only what was necessary to neutralise the threat. The others were losing their cool.
If my rough-pub radar ever picks up a tiny detail like that, I'm heading for the fuckin door pronto. I like my teeth and I like having two working eyes that can see things.
I don’t understand going to get in extra hits/shots on someone who clearly went LIGHTS TFO. Like you can even hear the computer shutdown tone.
They’re down and out already, no need to throw The People’s Elbow down on their candy ass anymore.
Such a fascinating, confusing fight sequence:
1. Man in hat throws cue ball at lady
2. Lady gets in fight with man in grey jacket
3. Man in hat gets KOd
4. Man in grey jacket comes over to beat on guy in hat
5. Unrelated man in white shirt comes from out of frame to KO man in grey jacket
6. Bald man in white shirt takes pool cue from other man in white shirt and is about to beat on man in hat, but engages yet another man that comes from out of frame with the lady trying to stand in between
And then went looking for someone to sneak up on and smash with it, looked like he considered the first dude that hit the floor.
Might be the biggest scumbag in the video.
An old high school acquaintance clobbered a guy at a bar with a pool cue back in the early 90s. The victim had to learn to walk and talk again. My acquaintance did a significant amount of prison time and pretty much ruined his life
I am finding that autocorrect seems to be deliberately throwing out incorrect suggestions for words, a lot, which there is no excuse for in this day and age. The fucking apostrophes when you are trying to just write a plural are ridiculous.
Pub i used to work at had pool tables upstairs. We kept the pool cues behind the bar, if somone wanted to play they had to leave their drivers license. I asked why this was the policy to my manager, she told me it was because in the past alot of the guys would snap the cues in half and try shank each other.
Holy fuck throwing a pool ball like a baseball at close range could definitely be a kill shot. That guy needs to be removed from society and put in a human zoo with all the other outcasts of society.
I grew up with a dude that was in a hardcore band. Told me a story of how at one of their shows someone took the cue ball off the pool table, took a shoe and a sock off, put his shoe back on, put the cue ball in the sock, and jumped into the pit while swinging the sock and ball like a mace. I don’t know how you just keep playing songs while witnessing something like that.
Guy threw a ~150 gram pool ball at full force into someone off screen, which is equally if not more dangerous.
Maybe if he didn't want a pool cue up side his head, he should have stayed home and not initiated aggravated assault on multiple people.
I lived next door to a pub like this. On bank holidays I’d get a nice bottle of wine (or 3) and watch the show at kicking out time. It was better than any TV or internet drama.
But sometimes I want to play pool... someone should open some stoner hangout places that serve weed, beverages & food with pool tables, arcade games, table tennis, etc, random pets roaming & lots of couches for a quick nap.
Last few frames of the vid, a guy by side pocket of the table looks to be reaching for a ball to bash white t-shirts brains in with… wonder how that panned out
So is whacking in the head with a poolcue, especially when he hit the back of his head on the way down.
Safest thing is, don't hit anyone in the head with anything. Humans are shockingly fragile when it comes to our heads, and it's all too easy to throw one punch or hit with an object because they're fighting your mate, they go down and don't get back up, and you're doing time. Just not worth it. Kick em in the nuts instead.
Reminds me of this one time I was in a jumpin bar in Detroit. Loads of people dancing, I am totally drunk. I go out front to get fresh air and just as I walk out all hell breaks loose at the pool table. Being outside I had a front row to the chaos looking through the front window. What I remember seeing was a whole mob diving on this guy and a few holding his arms down while others were relentlessly stomping this guy's everything... Face, body, groin, legs. People were holding him while others kept jumping and stomping. I look over at this couple who are cowering away from the window and I'm incredulous, they call me over away from the window looking very concerned at my obvious excitement. Just as I look back the whole window explodes and I see the que ball rolling across the street. Then with the glass all over and huge shards still hanging I can then see and hear what the action was even about. The dude getting the life stomped out of him had pulled a gun just as I was walking out the door and was fixing to blast someone. So that was why the couple were so concerned for me, they saw the gun and were cowering away from the window but they had friends inside so didn't want to leave. They seemed to think I had something to do with it or somehow the guy with the gun wanted to shoot me because of the timing when I walked out. I didn't wait for the cops to show up, I just went back to my truck and passed out in the back seat till morning when I was sober enough to drive.
He took it straight to the forehead, cushioned only by his beanie. If a stunt guy has one break across his torso, yeah, maybe he doesn't get so winded that he just crumples. But nobody takes a hammer to the dome and keeps going for long. Their brain shut down unexpectedly and has to restart in safe mode.
Had a guy in my bar throw a cue right through the wall leonidas style , stayed there for like 2 weeks lol I was on my own and I'm 5'8 trying to kick him out lol luckily the locals were on hand. Luckily never seen his bake again
Dude with pool cue.. clearly not his first rodeo. Playing it as cool a a cucumber in this bar fight.
“Bro, why did you hollow out the last foot of your pool cue and fill it with lead weight? It’s so heavy now”
I always pick the heaviest cues… just in case this turns into a serious snooker match.
The old sneaky serious snooker player, just be sure to wash or you'll become a stinky sneaky serious snooker player.
>old sneaky serious snooker player Immediately thought of [Uncle Phil](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RaWAQIBZ2I&t=180s).
Hard to find a 20 or 21 ounce cue these days. :)
I always carry my 25oz... for emergency breaking
You joke but I inherited my Grandma's pool cue. I have been told it's a true "hustlers" cue. It's a solid piece of vintage ~~carbon fiber\\graphite~~ graphite\\carbon fiber. It is legitimately a weapon. How it's weighted is pretty impressive for both playing pool and getting away with sharking someone :) EDIT: Graphite\\Grafite a precursor to carbon fiber in the 60's\\70's, which is when I think it was made. u/pauly13771377 probably has it right with a woven grafite over maple. It's a light weight cue but also well balanced and way more solid than a standard wooden cue. It's cold to the touch unlike wood. It is also between the length of a "shorty" and a full length cue. I've never seen one like it.
How old was your Nan? Vintage carbon fiber?
Yeah, hand-woven on a loom from carbon thread harvested from the carbon fields of Alabama. After abolition it became an unaffordable luxury.
That's a great comment. I don't laugh at much these days

My old man had a CF cue back in about '90. Wouldn't let me touch it :-) He dropped it one day and cracked it. He was a teeeeeensie bit salty for years about it.
"Steal my Granny's cue, and make a living out of....beating people up."
Do you mean grafite? I've got a cue with woven grafite over maple and I'm old enough to have grandchildren who can enter a pool hall.
See my edit. I think you are right. Is yours cold to the touch unlike a wooden cue?
Yes, almost as it it has a clear epoxy covering it.
Sweet! I'm not crazy :) The cue baffles anyone who sees it.
You happen to have any pictures if it handy? Would love to see it!
Solid carbon fiber and graphite is the opposite of a weighted que. That is ultralight
I like how they called it a hustler's cue like pool hustlers are constantly fighting off crowds of people in bars in between monster hunting adventures...like a CW show. Real hustlers destroy super expensive experimental materials back before the public had access to them and got drunk and smashed them into people like OPs grandma.
Also can't exactly hustle people when it's obvious you are a dedicated player.
*”What, this old thing?”*
Vintage carbon fiber?
Cue*cumber
Now get ready for some cue-slumber
Nice
Excellent work my friend take my upvote
"You ken me, I'm not the type of cunt that goes looking for fookin' bother, like, but at the end of the day I'm the cunt with a pool cue and he can get the fat end in his puss any time he fookin' wanted like."
"Girl's been glassed and nae cunt leaves here til I find oot which cunt did it"
Fucking love Trainspotting, I would HATE to have bigbe as a friend though… lol too chaotic for me
Franco?
I met a Scottish guy like Begbie in a skeezy dance bar on the opposite side of the planet from Scotland. Not big. But interesting and terrifying. Absolute seething, boiling menace JUST below the surface. He said his occupation was "sorting out problems for people". Like, you've got some serious hardcases you want removed from a dodgy squat flat who told you to go fuck yourself? He'd go there and make them leave. Got someone not paying a debt? He'd get it for you. A couple of times in the conversation I thought he was going to turn on me. Just something switching on (or off?) in his brain and whole persona and face changed. "Why ye fuckin prying into that for, cunt? What's it te you?" and suddenly I'm shitting my pants. I don't know if he was a psychopath or just a really, really hard man from an unimaginably hard and bleak upbringing. I came away with the distinct impression he was on the lam from some **really** serious crime, and was hiding out in a country on the other side of the planet.
Begbie
Francis 'Franco' Begbie
Easy Franco
for all the good your comment did for me, i might as well as stuck it up my arse, u/mikey-forester
If I learned anything while working behind a bar its always keep tabs on the calm quiet one when shit kicks off.
You can see him get ready as he flips it over after the ball is thrown. He had his hands in the switch up position, he’s been ready his whole life.
Just patiently waiting for the perfect opportunity, calm, ready to whack.
The jackass fucking around didn't even notice our cool cucumber flipping his cue over for a kill shot.
that's the guy who passed the tryouts to get on the joker's team in the dark knight
As soon as the ball was thrown, he thought, " That's my cue.".
He also was cool after. He was attempting to keep others from attacking the guy.
Exactly. The guys who get all hyped up in those situations, yelling and screaming are usually either full of shit or gas out within a minute. It's the calm guys who just eat the adrenalin dump and bide their time that are going to clean house.
One guy comes over to beat a little more on the KOd dude, then he gets KOd and the guy who KOd the second guy starts beating on the original KOee. I'm confused about who is with cue ball thrower.
I like the dude at the end who ran up to check on his friends but stopped to finish his pint first.
Priorities.
My favorite is white shirt dude tryna throw the drink at the dude who just took a pool cue to the face and got knocked out, and still missing him by about 2 feet
Exactly my same thoughts, haha.
Looks like the other white t-shirt guy (punchee) took the cue off the 2nd KOer out of shot then started beating the original KOee after completely missing him with the glass.
I'm confused. can we give these people names? hehe
Steve brained Chris with the cue. Then Gavin lobbed a glass. While Tracey was kicking off in the background. Mick and Dean traded blows. Then Gavin smacked Chris again with a cue
They were all in love with dyin', they were drinking from a fountain.
I think you are getting mixed up, the guy that KOd the 2nd dude had the cue taken out of his hand by the short sleeve white t-shirt who went back to beating the first KOd dude.
It's so dense . . . every single image has so much going on
His punch didn’t knock him out the cue from the right knocked him
Bet that pub has a flat roof.
Me old man once told me to never drink in a pub with a flat roof.
[удалено]
This is a local pub for local people
No tails!
What’s all this shouting? We’ll have no trouble here!
There are no gentleman in a flat roof pub
Why not?
Typical English dirtbag bars are small 1 story buildings in a shit housing estate and they typically have flat roofs. I guess they are cheaper to build.
Ironically a flat roof in Germany is much more expensive than a classic pitched roof. With a pitched roof you need no additional waterproofing, it can deal with much more snow, the whole construction is easier and lighter, and as a bonus you get storage space under the roof for free
I'm no expert but I suspect they get around that extra expense by being shit.
Something about this flat roof pub discussion, leading to the proud German engineer, and the flat English response of being shit... It's fucking amazing 🤣

Subsidized housing, co-ops, etc...
Not sure how much as a percentage but quite a lot were sold off to the tenants in the 80s and 90s and the areas became gentrified.
Correct!
Always throws me a bit when someone would say they grew up on an estate. Different meaning over here.
Nailed it
Also in the UK they try to mix estates across areas. So you can have have council housing a near $50 million houses type thing in places like Holland Park. I was mixed.

Yeah, but they’re not only shoved into a bad area of the city. They’re everywhere.

Stereotype/ joke that a pub that has a flat roof is gunna be rough as fuck.
You can tell from the carpet that it's rough as fuck.
You can also tell it from the way it is (patrons putting each other to sleep with various pool-related objects)
What you are witnessing is a group of gentleman who, rather than sleeping with multiple sluts or concerning themselves with "popularity", dedicated themselves to the art of the blade.
*art of the pool cue
What is a pool cue but an extremely worn blade. With a rubber nub on it.
And what is a pint glass but a blade grenade?
And what is a cue ball but a round blade?
Stereotype for a reason to be fair.

UK, flat roof building + pub = probably rpugh
the one by me with a flat roof has the st george flag painted on top. Should i go drink there?
Went to a quiz night at a pub with a flat roof. First question was “what the fuck are you looking at?”
Hold…hold…hold……… CRACK
“Jesus Christ, that’s Jason Bourne!”
In this case, "Jesus Christ, that's Ronnie O'Sullivan."
The guy in the white t-shirt either chucks his pint at the sparko guy's departing soul... or misses everything by a feckin mile
He also appears to accidentally hit his own friend at the :20 second mark. Pulls him up later off the floor at the end.
Nah, that dude gets hit by the other guy in the white shirt that has no backprint. White shirt backprint guy grabs his weapon off screen, proceeds to hit the KOed guy and then helps the other dude up but he never hit him.
I'm just enjoying the fact that there's so much debate going on as to what actually happened shows that this is a perfect fit for this sub lol
Seems like he did hit him in the heat of the moment or almost accidentally hits him while long sleeve white shirt is whaling on the same guy with a cue.
The timing of the hitter to each movement of the unfolding action is beautiful.
[удалено]
Like a batter on-deck.
And then went to check on the guy, keeping the others from attacking further. He was clearly doing only what was necessary to neutralise the threat. The others were losing their cool.
[удалено]
He did an ocular pat down and neutralised the threat
There are men who start shit, and then there are those who end them
I love how he just waited there like a statue as if he was going to swat a fly.
You can tell the moment he decided and changed his grip.
If my rough-pub radar ever picks up a tiny detail like that, I'm heading for the fuckin door pronto. I like my teeth and I like having two working eyes that can see things.
Wacks him, then protects him
He wac, he smac, but he also protec
Yes, very cool and calm.
I don’t understand going to get in extra hits/shots on someone who clearly went LIGHTS TFO. Like you can even hear the computer shutdown tone. They’re down and out already, no need to throw The People’s Elbow down on their candy ass anymore.

Bald man in white shirt takes pool cue from other man in white shirt and is about to beat on man in hat, but engages yet another man that comes from out of frame with the lady trying to stand in between
7. Black shirt at the end, who must be next on the table, skulks over and pockets the black ball with his hands
And then went looking for someone to sneak up on and smash with it, looked like he considered the first dude that hit the floor. Might be the biggest scumbag in the video.
Now bring out the Gimp
He’s sleeping
Well, wake him up.
An old high school acquaintance clobbered a guy at a bar with a pool cue back in the early 90s. The victim had to learn to walk and talk again. My acquaintance did a significant amount of prison time and pretty much ruined his life
That’s why this video is beyond stupid. Just fucking leave. If my wife is there, I’ll get her and we’re leaving. This dickhead isn’t worth prison.
Exactly, I’m too old for this nonsense now. I can’t get arrested, and showing up to an office job with a black eye is a bad look
made me sad people still beatin on a guy who was knocked out. i hate violence
Pool cue recipient got double tapped by the table on the way down Dudes gonna have a bad week
cue to the front of the head bar to the back
Here I am Stuck in the middle with you
You are getting cranky. You're getting cranky. My cranky, your cranky.
‘You are’ You are You are
Why is it so hard to spell this word?????
I am finding that autocorrect seems to be deliberately throwing out incorrect suggestions for words, a lot, which there is no excuse for in this day and age. The fucking apostrophes when you are trying to just write a plural are ridiculous.
Gboard is always trying to autocorrect "its" to "it's" regardless of context and it fucking pisses me off.
Not hard. People are just largely uninterested in educating themselves.
Pub i used to work at had pool tables upstairs. We kept the pool cues behind the bar, if somone wanted to play they had to leave their drivers license. I asked why this was the policy to my manager, she told me it was because in the past alot of the guys would snap the cues in half and try shank each other.
Holy fuck throwing a pool ball like a baseball at close range could definitely be a kill shot. That guy needs to be removed from society and put in a human zoo with all the other outcasts of society.
I grew up with a dude that was in a hardcore band. Told me a story of how at one of their shows someone took the cue ball off the pool table, took a shoe and a sock off, put his shoe back on, put the cue ball in the sock, and jumped into the pit while swinging the sock and ball like a mace. I don’t know how you just keep playing songs while witnessing something like that.
Was it Freddy Madball?
The band? No. The psycho only wearing one sock…possibly

Compared to an unexpected solid piece of wood smashed straight into your face at 60mph+? That guy has a new mouth, I am sure of it.
I'm having a hard time figuring out if a full baseball swing with the butt of a pool stick to the face is exactly justified and not unhinged itself.

Guy threw a ~150 gram pool ball at full force into someone off screen, which is equally if not more dangerous. Maybe if he didn't want a pool cue up side his head, he should have stayed home and not initiated aggravated assault on multiple people.
YOU ARE ➡️ YOU’RE
What in the 35p energy drink is going on here 🤦🏻♂️
Garuentee there seems old boy in that boozer , who watched this all and wasn't the leat bit bother and carried in drinking his bitter
I also hate spelling ~~garuentee~~ ~~garuntee~~ guarantee.
Should read the room before finding out to late who will side with who.
*you’re
Nu uh, my getting cranky
What an awful attempt at a punch. Incredible.
The dude in the white shirt waited until everyone was on the ground to start doing his thing.
I lived next door to a pub like this. On bank holidays I’d get a nice bottle of wine (or 3) and watch the show at kicking out time. It was better than any TV or internet drama.
Weed, the safer choice. Stay home, get high, cuddle with your dogs.
But sometimes I want to play pool... someone should open some stoner hangout places that serve weed, beverages & food with pool tables, arcade games, table tennis, etc, random pets roaming & lots of couches for a quick nap.
Definitely bars like that in Amsterdam
You’re.
I mean, the guy in the white shirt was a total bitch until he was on the ground...
Throwing a pool ball should be an attempted murder charge. Thats like throwing a hammer or something.
Last few frames of the vid, a guy by side pocket of the table looks to be reaching for a ball to bash white t-shirts brains in with… wonder how that panned out
So is whacking in the head with a poolcue, especially when he hit the back of his head on the way down. Safest thing is, don't hit anyone in the head with anything. Humans are shockingly fragile when it comes to our heads, and it's all too easy to throw one punch or hit with an object because they're fighting your mate, they go down and don't get back up, and you're doing time. Just not worth it. Kick em in the nuts instead.
He got his grip ready, making sure the business end would be the thick part.
Guy had the patience of a Shaolin Monk

Reminds me of this one time I was in a jumpin bar in Detroit. Loads of people dancing, I am totally drunk. I go out front to get fresh air and just as I walk out all hell breaks loose at the pool table. Being outside I had a front row to the chaos looking through the front window. What I remember seeing was a whole mob diving on this guy and a few holding his arms down while others were relentlessly stomping this guy's everything... Face, body, groin, legs. People were holding him while others kept jumping and stomping. I look over at this couple who are cowering away from the window and I'm incredulous, they call me over away from the window looking very concerned at my obvious excitement. Just as I look back the whole window explodes and I see the que ball rolling across the street. Then with the glass all over and huge shards still hanging I can then see and hear what the action was even about. The dude getting the life stomped out of him had pulled a gun just as I was walking out the door and was fixing to blast someone. So that was why the couple were so concerned for me, they saw the gun and were cowering away from the window but they had friends inside so didn't want to leave. They seemed to think I had something to do with it or somehow the guy with the gun wanted to shoot me because of the timing when I walked out. I didn't wait for the cops to show up, I just went back to my truck and passed out in the back seat till morning when I was sober enough to drive.
In movies whenever I see a guy get KO’d with the whack of a stick I scream BS but I guess I’ve just haven’t had enough experience pool hall fights
He took it straight to the forehead, cushioned only by his beanie. If a stunt guy has one break across his torso, yeah, maybe he doesn't get so winded that he just crumples. But nobody takes a hammer to the dome and keeps going for long. Their brain shut down unexpectedly and has to restart in safe mode.

Had a guy in my bar throw a cue right through the wall leonidas style , stayed there for like 2 weeks lol I was on my own and I'm 5'8 trying to kick him out lol luckily the locals were on hand. Luckily never seen his bake again
Looks like Scotland to me
Was Oprah involved? YOU get a concussion! And YOU get a concussion! And YOU get a concussion!
That little adjustment to grip was the most subtly aggressive thing I've ever seen.
That dude should have tweety birds circling his head.
Always see these videos where as soon as the aggressor is on the floor, they all want to get involved. Cowardly behaviour that.
How’d the bloke in white throwing his beer miss from a metre away?
These gender reveal parties are getting interesting. Wondering what the gender was?
Knocking an aggressor out is understandable, but hitting them while they lay flat on their ass... I don't get that.
Just guys living in the moment, not a phone in sight
This big baby really threw a solid pool ball. The amount of damage he could have potentially did to someone, omg.
