If that is the line of work they want to be in then they should do it with a bit manners and dignity.

Currahee!

It was brilliant to watch. The guy they had was like an UFC fighter they way he handled himself. A few years back a couple of bouncers over-reacted to a very drunk gentleman in the Subway Lothian Road. They dragged him out when he took too long to leave. The guy told them he'd be back and the bouncers thought they were great all standing united at the door telling him to return with his pals. One hour later a van full of nutcases from the Inch pulled up and gave the four or five bouncers the licking of their lives. Some of these bigmen screaming for them to stop. Great entertainment.

I would just like to add to the person who said we had something to prove: I do it for the money - I could work behind the bar for minimum wage (which I have since I was 18) or infront of the bar for a lot more money. My philosophy on the matter is the more of an arse I am, the more grief I get. I can do without the bother to be honest, as I say I do it for the money, not the job satisfaction.

That's different though. If you're genuinely out your face, being disruptive and deserve to be launched then fair enough. Never been a victim of the erse bouncer but been with a mate who got refused entry for being 'too drunk' when we'd literally left the flat to go out without having a drop. And another mate who was refused entry for having been fighting for having a black eye when he was a rugby player and another one for the same reason after he got leathered the night before. It's got to be annoying when you are vicitimsed for no reason. Guess you just have to take it on the chin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but I'm in agreement with the other posters about Bouncers. Especially the Edinburgh ones, they know that the majority of Edinburgh "clubers" are nonces and milk the death out of it. The worst thing is half of them are lame students aswell, just jumped up ones who were obvioulsy good at "ruggers" at private school. They are the reason I very rarely go out clubing in edinburgh, that and the fact that edinburgh birds are so far up their own arses a common lad like myself has little chance of clunge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you don't have that "look" about you but trust me, you don't have to act like an "arse" for a bouncer to treat you like one. When I was training for my current job offshore I studied with a guy from Dunfermline who worked part time for a bouncing agency. In his own words he loved nothing better that "getting in scraps wi c**** knowing the polis would back him up". Every other day he would boast about how many students he'd beaten to a pulp the night before.

Nah being a grass aint my style. Giving some brain dead moron a certificate or badge won't change anything. 90% of "doormen" are fandans, in 100 years time the situation will be the same.

I've had bouncers try and start on me for nothing other than waiting in line to get into the club. At the same time, i've had bouncers go out of their way for me when other customers at a club were acting arsey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommythejambo Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I'd say most bouncers are folk who were bullied at school and them hit the gym every day for about 5 years straight. They now try and take their frustrations out on utter randoms. The best ones I've ever encountered are the ones at City who used to ask you where you'd been: Week 1: Bouncer: "Where you been tonight then lads" My Mate: "Just at my house" B: "Where's that then?" M: "Magdalene" B: "Try somewhere else tonight lads" Week 2: (Roughly same group of boys and same bouncer) Bouncer: "Where you been tonight then lads" My Mate: "Just at my house" B: "Where's that then?" M: "Bruntsfield" B: "In you go lads" Utter w**kstain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Anyone who just wants to have a good time on a night out will be safer in a pub/club that has bouncers. Debatable. I reckon you have more chance of being leathered around the back by a group of bouncers than having a scrap in a club. Got chucked out a club one night because me and a mate were *****ing about (fair enough) but on the way out they decided to just about burst my face open on a corner of a wall just before we got out. Nice guys. Seen it happen numerous times. Bouncers are generally arseholes (although you sound as if you are one of the easy going ones). Don't take steroids kids or you will turn into a tool.

Andy.C Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 In my experience with them it is very hit or miss. Some are totally fine, doing the job with minimal fuss, others are just on a power trip. Totally random what ones you get. Had numerous experiences of being turned away for no reason, just the 'not tonight' answer. Been turned away with my mate as he didn't have ID (I think we were 24 at this point). I said he's obviously over 18...he's the same age as me, and i'm 24! Bouncer said aye, very good...so I showed him my driving licence....still wasn't having it. Same abroad. Got ID'd in a casino in vegas (which I was staying in). Showed the women bouncer my driving licence, and she proceeded to moan about EU licences, and how she'd let me off this time, but it better be my passport next time!! Mental. Still...no fisticuffs in nigh on 10 years of dealing with bouncers...i'm glad, i'd get a kicking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't understand why people who enjoy to fight don't take up boxing. The last punch I've thrown was probably in a primary school playground so I don't understand the desire to fight personally, but who would want to roll around on a pavement outside a pub like an animal, if you could get it out of your system in the ring?

In your post you slag: 'Bouncers' 'The majority of Edinburgh clubbers' 'lame Students' 'private schools' 'Ruggers' 'Edinburgh burds' A fairly comprehensive list. I am a Bouncer and a lame student who went to a private school and played rugby! But I have to say I have not come accross another Doorman with the same background. I get more than the amount of money you stated and this is so I can afford to be a 'lame student'! Its better work than being behind the bar and I can actually do something about it when a customer gets arsey! 9/10 If you behave yourself accordingly in a pub/bar/nightclub you will not encur the wrath of the Bouncers.
