How many pensioners would it take to give you a kicking?
Discussion
I've had a really odd, and annoying day. So I though I'd start a daft, satirical thread - almost in the style of baboon vs badger https://popb
h.com/baboon-v-badger-10-years-on/
In my village there's a group of pensioners who regularly go for countryside walks every Tuesday. They are quite militant about people stopping for them to all cross the road. Cool, no problem. I'm on their side.
Today, I was parked in a side road and preparing to drive off. Of course, I waited for them. But as I waited for them, I found myself wondering what would transpire if I'd not displayed the correct etiquette and I'd driven off. Had they subsequently seen me in the village, how many of them would be required to give me a solid kicking. I'm a lover, not a fighter, so probably not that many.
So my question: assuming no weapons, no sticks, how many 75-yr old pensioners would it take to "bring you the smoke"?
[I know this is a very stupid, flippant thread which probably won't last, but what evs.]

Why were you parked in a side road in your own village?
Stalking someone?
Calm down Columbo :-) It's the side road directly next to my house as we had a handyman tkaing care of some jobs (£250 per day btw - probably the lowest I'd pay somebody for a days work, to touch on the current, rlated threads).Stalking someone?
I've outed myself now as having a small driveway.

What happens if the pensioners are retired powerfully built director types?
Is there some sort of force multiplier we need to apply in that case?
Yes, I think we need to cater for a given % of powerfully built, multiple pensions, diverse invesment portfolio types.Is there some sort of force multiplier we need to apply in that case?
I don't know, I just had a vision of a few pensioners losing the plot and doing that thing DeNiro and Pesci did in Goodfellas in the bar, you know arms up and out for balance (tricky, I know) and then just kicking you into a pulp. Or maybe even Clockwork-Orange style Ultraviolence.
There must be a tipping point - say, 2 or 3 of them can be overcome, but when they attack in waves it's all over.
In the real world, I always smile politely and let them cross the road at a sedate pace.

How formidable is a Goose ?
All that honking and nipping, is it actually dangerous to a human, if you get attacked most humans are avoiding conflict or beign seen to hurt and animal, but if push came to shove I reckon the Goose is fairly easy, anything bigger, fk that.

Just one , aged 92, if it was Barbara Buttrick.....
The oldest living boxer in the world. She is known for her speed, power, and conditioning. She has won over thirty-five fights in her career, including titles as champion at both the national level in the United States and the international level in Australia.
Buttrick was the first woman to win an American Boxing League title, and she is now one of the most successful trainers in boxing. Buttrick’s work with women has helped thousands of them develop confidence in themselves, and she has even helped some of them become professional fighters.
She formed and was elected president of the Women’s International Boxing Federation (WIBF), a significant organization that governs women’s boxing, in the middle of the 1990
You have been warned....
