Get stabbed?
Nah, but was in some rather dicey situations. Luckily I was young and fit at the time (1970's) and always with a group of similar blokes when out and about. Looking back I was pretty naive as it was my first time as an adult in a capital city other than Adelaide.

I was similar with the naive bit, in 1968 a mate and myself decided at very short notice to drive to Melbourne for Easter.

We were out and about on the Sunday night and at around 9 ish when we got a bit hungry I pulled up near a takeaway type place of the era in a side street in Richmond.

There were 4 young blokes playing pinball inside, and my mate who pumped iron 3 or 4 times a week, was solidly built and much more street wise than me said **** that we are not going in there.
I said something along the lines of what's the problem ignored his advice and wandered into the shop, the 4 blokes were so engrossed in their pin ball games they took virtually no notice of me and I bought the stuff we wanted and left.

I dined out on that one with him for a while, but on subsequent visits in the early 70's we too had a few dicey moments and I realised then that I probably got very lucky that first time.
