    The key issue is "house rules".

    All pubs and clubs need to draw up their house rules to get their licence, and update them upon renewal of such.

    If i put in my house rules that dudes can't wear pink shirts then i can enforce that!

    My sarcasm meter is obviously broken, it was a joke! Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit yada yada...:)

    I don't think even scumbags would attempt to get into a place with runners and tracksuit bottoms on.

    Anyone ever have a problem getting in a club, I have tried a few times and been stopped by the same bouncer every time even when all the others bouncers are letting me in, He keeps saying not tonight, regulars only and private party ****. I don’t try anymore because of this fella.

    I never have any problems getting into other clubs & bars I try except this place

    Any ideas?

    If you are a fella, i suspect he thinks you're going into the club to chase salami.

    Ah yea i agree but I go out sometimes and dont drink and they cant be just as c.untish! One lad started on me for not clearin off, when I was stading on a public path near "his" club and when I pointed this out to him he got more irate and threatened that he'd beat the sh1t out of him. i replied with "Good luck with that. I" so he followed up with "Ill put ya in a wheelchair buddy" so I told him "IF you succeed tell your employer to expect legal action and i doubt you'll avoid jail time".... watchin him froth at the mouth because i stayed cool was fun....w@nka!:cool:

    Ah i know what you mean dude, I will always be the first to say there are some bad eggs in the game.

    But i have done doors for on and off 8 years now and worked with far more good bouncers than bad. The simple fact is that interacting with bouncers works the same way as with anything else.....a bad story goes to 10 people, a good one to 1.

    Bad bouncers will sadly manage to make a name for all of us as cnuts. T'is just the way it is.

    Hang on, I deserved a hiding for standin on a road, which has nothing to do with the club, with about 2000 other people having a chat sober and not in the least bit rowdy?? Are u taking the p1ss? thats possibly the most twisted logic Ive read all day. Have u ever been on Harcourt street at aroun 3-4 am? I was about 10 feet from his club, because i was standing still talkin to my friend and facing him he chose me because i was near him. he has no right to tell me to do anything. The guards are there for that.

    I have no respect for his authority once im outside the confines of his club. Im not gonna clear off cos he told me so and Im not gonna allow him to threaten me either. Just cos he 's a bouncer doesnt mean he has a God given right to bully, i dont let anyone bully me, let alone some @rsehole who's on a power trip.

    I think Degsy was just indicating that you clearly deserved a kicking for such a heinous crime as standing in the street. ;):)

    Ah i've being on both sides of this one ... dopes in tracksuits wanting to get in to clubs ..think they would learn after the first week dress to impress and not turn up again in a bleeding tracksuit...:p.. but have you ever tried to get into slapper face jacks at the week end ... they let you in all week and at the weekend they dont know you unless your a copper or a nurse in a short skirt...:rolleyes:

    Only bouncer I dislike is one near the swan centre.. >_> .. <_<

    Some bouncers are really nice and friendly though. I have only been there twice but I have to say the bouncers in pretty <insert room where you keep your fridge> were the best I've encountered.

    i know what u mean. I have in my life had 3 "episodes" with bouncers. One time i got kicked outta a club for being locked and I absolutely agreed with that. Didnt even argue, just asked for my coat back, was told no, the girlfriend at the time got it for me in the end.

    Second time I wasnt let into a friends 21st even though I had an invite, cos the bouncer didnt know me. I politely said it was a private party so he didnt need to know me, i was invited and Id travelled to get there as I live a bit away so its natural that he wouldnt know me, he got aggressive, i walked away.


    Third was that time I just mentioned. i was p1ssed off after cos i qwas sober and doing absolutely nothing. that one hit a nerve and thats really where my contempt for the threatening bouncer came from.



    So 2 out of 3 bad experiences is the way i was lookin at it but then again if u go out 52 weeks in a year and get one bad night thats 51 good nights right?

    I do know a lot of guys personally, rom training with them etc and theyre mostly lovely lads. I just tend to notice a good few lads seem to have a real macho attitude problem. i said it earlier in the thread actually, im kinda on both sides cos Ive seen the good and the bad of both sides.

    Meh, frankly he told me he'd put me in a wheelchair, I was actually waiting in that spot hopin for a taxi which made it more annoying. I'm counter aggressive by nature rather than in your face so Id only really react to something he did rather than something he said cos its not worth it so i figured id throw him out a reminder that he's not above the law. He's lucky though, I know lads I train with who have a lot less self control who'd have literally torn him a new one for that.

    Nothing wrong with stating your right not to be turned into a cripple for standing on the path or reminding him of the consequences!! ;)

    I remember a couple of years ago a gang of us rolled up to this club in a taxi people carrier and I told the taxi to wait for a min cos I wanted to check to make sure we would get in (taxis very rare at the time, New Years Eve). Anyway, I asked the bouncer would it be ok for us all to get in and he said of course love.

    So taxi man left and we walked up to the door and the same bouncer goes 'sorry not tonight love', and they all pissed themselves laughing. I laughed too, thinking it was a joke and went to walk past him - he put his hand out and said very loudly and aggressively 'I said not tonight'. I was absolutely fuming and called him every name under the sun and they all just kept laughing. We had an hour long walk home in winter cos of that idiotic prick on a power trip..

    I bet you that you encounter the same mentality in MA at times.

    The blokes with something to prove.

    Never got it myself.

    Yea they turn up flex, huff and puff a little, scowl a lot and then tap!! JK's club (I dont train there mind) even has a sign above the mats saying "No shoes or ego's beyond this point"!! Its awesome when said big jacked angry man gets tapped by little skinny 5"6 pony tailed guy. The face on the guy after is always priceless! Im one of the bigger lads so I dont get the same shock value out of them unfortunately!


    I have found that the cool customer approach intimidates people more when the going gets tough for some reason. Actin all angry gets u so far but keeping caalm seems to confuse them at a certain point and it seems to work well!

    why dont you turn up regularly in a dress and blow kisses at him :D.. think that might freak him out and maybe he'll leave and you'll get a new door man who might let you in:D
