This is about a student who, after repeatedly falling asleep, was ushered away from the nightclub by 2 bouncers - but there's a gross twist in addition to getting thrown out.

Aaah... the nod. Something women will never understand. The nod is a hello, or an entire conversation. Either way, it takes but one second, and in it lads can say as much as girls can nattering for ten minutes.

All hail the nod.

I've never had any trouble but I just keep quite, hand over I.D and go in.

I kind of know a bouncer at a pub we go, he works in the hospital as well. We just give each other the 'nod' of recognition.

A story about bouncers.

A few years ago, a mate and me used to go drinking in town all day. We always ended up at a pub called the “Bonded Warehouse” which had a couple of bouncers standing guard outside. The pub was always packed, but at 1.50 for treble vodkas we were quite prepared to sit outside, as it was summer. We got talking to these bouncers (big lads, the pair of them) and after a couple of weeks, were on first name terms with them. They were pretty good company, and seemed alight lads, and gave us a laugh on a Saturday night with tales of bouncing (nothing bad, just humorous).

Once, when we were utterly minging, my mate asked if he could take over for a few minutes as a joke. This 6 foot 7 inch black guy handed his coat over, as well as the id tag (my mate is white, so you can imagine that under scrutiny, he wouldn’t get away with it) and preceded to pretend to be a bouncer and turn a few people away as they were too drunk (pointed out by the black guy).

Now, the point of this is that a large group came walking past. They were being extremely rowdy and shouting across the street to another group of lads. A fight seemed inevitable. The black bouncer reached into his coat and pocketed what looked like a pen. The group passed without incident but my mate asked, “Why did you get hold of a pen? Going to stick them with it?” (Jokingly)

The black bouncer turned to him, showed him the pen, twisted the barrel, and a 4 inch blade was hidden in the main body of the pen.

“Jesus, have you ever used that?” I asked.
“Quite a lot” The bouncer replied, “Nearly got caught for slashing a p’sshead’s face last time, but the police couldn’t find the blade”

(cue utter shock from both of us)

Never went back there again…………..

yeah, my karate instructor used to do a lot of door work, he's one of the soundest people you'll meet, but it gives you an idea of the sort of people you're up against.

Sounds like an idea for a new Jean-Claude Van-Damme film...

Yeh, i agree with Mojo. They are all as thick as a short plank of wood.

The only thing they know how to do is to be violent.
But i would like to see them try and kick out a huge guy.

Bouncers are just radgies who haven't grown up. There's a REASON why they're standing in a doorway, asking people for ID and kicking small kids' heads in. It's because they're too thick for any other job.

Sure, you get some part timers, doing it for a bit of money while they're at college/uni (whatever) and are taking advantage of being big/being hard (a mate of mine in SA was offered a job as a bouncer because he's a kick boxer) but most of them are high school drop outs who can barely read the names on the VIP list.

They make me sick.

Some bouncers once threw my mate out for arguing with them. He was being unreasonable, but he was drunk and they should take that into account.

Anyway, they threw him through some fire doors - trouble was, outside that was a flight of metal stairs. My friend fell down these and gashed his eyebrow.

The nightclub industry needs to be investigated.
