You can't sit there...
We'd all headed off to the pub after attending the first aikido club grading after my son was born so he was snuggled up in his pram and parked up by the table in the crowded pub. Trying to order a few drinks and food I was told,

" the family area is over there"
"Is it? Ok. (Plus the food order etc.)"
"You need to move over there..."
"Why?"
"Because that's the family area"
"But we are sitting here with all our friends (which was about 30 people from the club, including MANY black belts up to 5th Dan)."
"Yes, but families go over there..."

"Ok, well, you can argue it out with the whole aikido club as to why we can't sit with them (my son was fast asleep in the small pram tucked up against the table plus people were having a look at him as they'd not met him before), plus wake him up by dragging the pram out from the table and over to where you want him to be, and can explain to a screaming three month old baby why he's now awake, or it's one coke, one bitter shandy, a chicken salad and a burger with chips for this table...."

"Err. Ok."

So your story is that you used your alleged martial arts skills (AND all your martial arts 'mates') to intimidate bar staff?
Where had you parked your Honda Accord?

30 people and five of them are called Dan?
It's quite a good system to give them numbers so their food and drink orders didn't get mixed up

They should all wear different coloured belts.

People who make a big deal about doing martial arts are invariably the ones who are shit at it.
Just saying, like.

Do you often include explanatory asides for the benefit of an unseen audience in your conversations?

I think you mean Quigong you massive vagina headed cunt. Because Quigong is what nonces do. And you're a nonce.

Most people demand special treatment because they've accompanied by either a baby or 30 wannabe ninjas.
You chose both. Well done, you.

Family areas aren't there for your benefit. They're there so that the rest of us don't have to put up with your bastard fucking child.

Everyone hates kids in pubs, unless it's a harvester.

My kids think pubs are great,
until they remember that they're not allowed to drink in them.

Chronic gastro problems, you see, bars generally have really bad toilets.
