This has been my personal favourite for many years. First heard it in late teens from some original boot boys who we got to know as we started our nights out at The Nav, next door to The Irish. They had some great stories. They seemed really old to us, but one night a bunch of gobby Uni students, mostly Southerners kicked off with them (something to do with the pool table as I recall). They were outnumbered and there were four of us sat at a table by the window which overlooks canal. We decided we should add numbers to even things up. By time we stood up and were on our way over it was all done. Total carnage, but very quick! (Landlord a bit peed off due to a broken window). They thought it was really funny that we had thought they would need our help. Cracking blokes though.
