Seems a bad idea for a snooker club, where people need to concentrate, mind you if they get annoyed with it they can kick the shit out of it I spose.

Theyre actually meant to reduce trouble to be honest. Not sure I buy it.

But apparently according to an associate of the Pieman they make a frickin fortune.

every club and a lot of pubs in eastern europe has a couple and the number of fights I've ever seen in any of them in several years is still less than I see on any single night out in the uk

they're constantly in use, make an abs fortune and everyone who'd normally be up for a fight just takes it out on the machine. win win

My brother managed to break his wrist on one about 3 weeks ago. Smashing it repeatedly while very pished re-cracked a scaphoid bone that he'd done about 4 years ago going arse over tit off a motorbike. Didn't realise he'd broke it for 24hrs (alcohol wore off), then some junior doctor told him he'd sprained it, just as a consultant walked past, glanced at the x-ray and said "ah, broken in three places". Sigh.

But then he is a bit of an idiot, obv

.

Just a warning though - punching them when you're pissed can hurt the next day

These things are com. I don't really understand why those that use them don't just walk around with their cock out if they need this reassurance of being a man... then again, perhaps that option doesn't work for them.

yeah went to magaluf in 2001, (18 YEAR OLD) was brill in boomerangs, or i might be thinking of bananas (top of a hill)
I remember we went to a night called pirates and its still the best night out ive ever had in my life.

Back to OP, if i walk in a bar in the uk with my mates and a punch bag machine is in there, i just leave. The same people who go to these places to punch the bag are the same kind of animals that try to give u a clip if u accidentally knock into them, on a lads holiday tho, anything goes. God i miss lads holidays, went from 2000 - to 2006, now just cant get the numbers.

I remember going to Yarmouth a year or two back..

They had one - not one that hangs down, but that is stood up.. I decided it would be a good idea to take a 12 foot run up and diving header it. I did this well, nailed the bag bit but flew threw it and hit a broken light on the stand directly behind it. Cut my head open and ended up on Yarmouth seafront laying down on floor having water poured over my head.

Oops. There is a video that was taken at the time, cant seem to find it though - it was a while ago so doubt I will.
