Monty already said a rapier
But I'll go for one too, as I used to fence for GB donchaknow.

Fence?
As in reselling stolen goods, or erection (fnar) of wooden dividing structures?

Neither, as neither would befit a conversation about dueling ;)

I saw him at Never Mind the Buzzcocks.
He was shit.

Sadly not
I'd have loved to though, but I think he fences foil, whereas I fenced sabre.

I'd have shot the cunt.

EDIT I am massively impressed by the way - not that you care about my opinion, but that's excellent.

it is pretty cool
I always intended to have a go at fencing at uni, but all the people in the club seemed to be wankers.

I tried to start it up again at uni
But the 2nd and 3rd years there were utter Rah-Rah cunts and it put me off. When asked if the assembled Freshers had fenced before, I put my hand up. They asked which weapons, and I replied "I've fenced foil and epee in the inter-school leagues, and sabre for GB". They didn't believe me, until I showed them my name with "GBR" written on the back of my kit.

I stuck it out for two sessions, but they were obnoxious cunts who kept putting all the other Freshers down, and ridiculing the fat folk. They seemed to spend more time bitching than fighting, and they were shit when they did fight.

that sounds exactly like the one at my uni

Have you been 'LARPing' again?

*cringes*
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 20 May 2010, 9:57, Reply)

I was joking
but my heritage is more suited to the bludegeoning and chopping weapons, rather than the more delicate.

I also do
*gulps, shudders* LARP so am fairly experienced with swinging vague simulacra of medieval weaponry.

Not going, can't afford to after having my car broken into
And I enjoy LARP, whilst simultaneously knowing that it is exceptionally embarrassing.

I think I could only do it while really drunk
which would involve being drunk while buying the stuff, getting dressed up and taking part.

There's a lot of drinking at events.

They have booze in pubs, you know.

'what the fuck am I doing? How old am I?'
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 20 May 2010, 10:01, Reply)

I go to a couple of events a year, run by good friends
And I take pride and pleasure that, by LARPing standards, I am both incredibly fit, stunningly good-looking, and socially supreme.

I LARPed when I was 19
and then lost enthusiasm for it. But I can confirm Lab's claims without knowing what he looks like

Someone from here LARPs too.

That's kind of you!
I only did it in my teens, but did go abroad to fence for a few summers. Had to stop to concentrate on my A levels (not that that helped), and because it was getting too expensive. If you broke a blade, it would cost £40-£50 to replace it (for a decent, lightweight blade).
