Rob1742 Posted 22 December 2014 Share Posted 22 December 2014 I only had confrontation with one doorman or bouncer in my day. It was at the Palais and me and my mates had been round the pubs. I walked up the steps and this 20 stone penguin said not tonight son. I protested saying I was in a suit so what was the problem but to no avail. He then pushed me down the steps. I just managed to stay on my feet. I was not drunk but if they don't like your face then tough luck. I'm sure as rejecting the tough looking ones they also rejected the ones with the 'pick on me' faces because I always went out my way to avoid trouble. You were lucky. The same happened at the Palais to a lad I knew. But he got punched and died. Lovely people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Fox Posted 22 December 2014 Share Posted 22 December 2014 Slightly off topic, but do doorman have any jurisdiction off of the property of the door they're working. As most of them seem to think they can tell you to move from the footpath outside of the door, and have no hesitation to become physical you refuse to move, from the public footpath.

Rincewind Posted 22 December 2014 Share Posted 22 December 2014 You were lucky. The same happened at the Palais to a lad I knew. But he got punched and died. Lovely people. Not sure. They now have to have a SIA badge. They have no power of arrest but can detain someone. What area they control depends on the venue or the situation. If they are not wearing the badge on display they can be reported. But the license is not difficult to obtain. I got one albeit a static one. One for a doorman has an orange band on the side. The actual course i took was just basic common sense in recognising hazards and differences between fire extinguishers. I has no training in self defence which I assume doormen would need and why they are mostly built like brick shithouses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1742 Posted 22 December 2014 Share Posted 22 December 2014 Apart from the death, I recall one beating my mate up, because "he thinks he is hard" Taking their jacket off and one of them having a gun. One coming into the boozer and beating this lad up. Grabbed his head and rammed it hard against the table, thought he had killed him he kept on banging his head so hard. Then there are the stories in the papers, and other stories you hear about. Can't understand why people look up to them, like some clearly do.

Samilktray Posted 22 December 2014 Share Posted 22 December 2014 I assumed it was common knowledge that the vast majority of bouncers were cvnts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As most of them seem to think they can tell you to move from the footpath outside of the door, and have no hesitation to become physical you refuse to move, from the public footpath. They have about as much power as you do to remove someone standing on the pavement outside your house - none. Provided it's a public footpath obviously. I'm sure there are some lovely chaps, but I think some of them are lucky that the bouncer proffesion exists as I have no idea what they would do if it didn't.

lavrentis Posted 22 December 2014 Share Posted 22 December 2014 Honestly never met a dickhead bouncer. Most i've met always seem to be quite fair and trusting In fact i've noticed this a few times where females tend to get ID'ed more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
