Hey, I'm not old and I've used that line before. I think I heard my dad say it a time or two when he fought someone younger. It also makes the other guy pause a bit, LOL.
Muggers - in Germany?
Good thing this bloke wasn't at home. He would be in prison by now.
armed(literally) ping list?

Sounds like these two fellas should get together and have a couple of drinks. ;-D
And that is the saddest commentary you can make on any society and the worst part is that it is true of every society throughout the world
What amazes me however, is the fact he was not arrested for being so insensitive to those poor disadvantaged German youth.
Isn't it common in Britain these days to punish 70 year old former SAS soldiers (well anyone really), for beating up on 4 young hooligans out to do you harm?
Don't be so sure. This old guy is bound to be still in darn good shape, I don't care if he does know moves. A gimpy old weak boned man would not be able to pull this off no matter what his training in his prime. They said he was once a police officer. Well I'd say he's likely a Jack Palance kinda guy. Fit as a fiddle and able to outwork many that are 20 years younger.
Training is training … age (obviously) not withstanding.
Old saw (sp) … practice, practice, practice and you will never forget.
hehehehe,,,,Never Pick On Nothin' Meaner Than You Are...;0)
Good story but when you don't know what a "SAS" is , you feel like your missing something. I guess every one in the world knows what it is but me, being no one else is asking.
looks can be decieving....hehehehehehe
The Special Air Service (SAS) is the principal special forces organisation of the British Army. A small and secretive institution, it attracts a disproportionate amount of media coverage. The SAS was formed in 1941 to conduct raids behind German lines in North Africa, and today serves as a model for similar units fielded by other countries.[citation needed]
The SAS forms part of the United Kingdom Special Forces, alongside the Special Boat Service (SBS), Special Reconnaissance Regiment (SRR), and Special Forces Support Group (SFSG). The SAS is widely regarded as one of the finest and best-trained special forces units in the world.

I believe the U.S. Delta Force was established as an American eqivalent by an U.S. special forces operative who had served with the SAS.
"From its beginnings, Delta was heavily influenced by the British SAS, a philosophical result of Col. Beckwith’s year-long (1962-1963) exchange tour with that unit. Accordingly, it is today organized into three operating squadrons, all of which (A, B, and C) are subdivided into small groups known as troops. It is rumored that each troop, as the case with the SAS, specializes in HALO, SCUBA, or other skill groups"
