Marvin 193 Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Didn't watch it as don't have a tv but but reckon i could sum it up, i bet the door lads were self righteous pricks, who went on like they were the best thing that ever happened to the door because of how they handle the customers. They thought all the lads were divvy's and the women slapper's - the ones who didn't fancy them - ugly slapper's, and i bet not one of them was seen dealing with an angry coked up bigger fella . Am i close with my guess 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Marvin 193 Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 The SIA have totally killed the job, every fool around seems to know that the door lads/lasses hands are tied by regulations now, that along with the fact there are plenty who could and would do the job if it weren't for things on their past record. There is also a lot of lads who can answer the questions on the SIA tests but don't have the minerals when the job warms up a bit, bring back old school ......... speaking from 10yrs experience and 2 badge revokes :whistling: 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lab 10,979 Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 ''We kicked the toilet door in, and found a girl sucking her fella off while she was having a shit!'' I used to go out with a Newport lass, she never did that for me I'm snapped haha Aye but she did for every c**t else............... I watched it and was pissing myself. That doorman, the big fat c**t with the poofy hair, who the f**k did he think he was? Pushing they boys away saying "Your invading my space!!"..... and best of all the ugly c**t thought he was gods f*****g gift........... Thought the other lad had his head screwed on. Maybe fancied himself a bit too like but pretty much done his job. They ladies looked class, i mean real class....... ...a hen night with t-shirts with "Sally Spunk Bucket" on the back was genuis........... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know some lads that think it makes them some sort of plastic policeman flashing it about to doorstaff when they get in bother in a club themselves. Makes me cringe listneing to em. When money was hard just after uni and I took a 'security steward' job for a short while the majority of licensed lads were gutless fannys with no bollocks and a few others took their role abit too seriously. Not knocking the real deal door staff but having a license doesn't mean shit to anyone imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 What was the alternative to the SIA? The industry was in a right state before compulsory registration, with all sorts of bullies and weirdos attracted to the job. Yes there are a lot of "unqualified" younger people in the job now, everyone has to start somewhere! I was 18 when I started. For the first 10 or so years of my career I worked lots of different doors, mostly with 3 or 4 other lads, and the amount of thugs and bullies I met who thought they were dead hard when 2 or 3 of them battered kids was appalling, or you'd get the 20 stone body builder who turned out to be a shithouse when it mattered, but who'd been recommended because he'd been away for ABH (but as it turns out it was for beating his ex bird up) I soon sussed that if I worked on my own then the only person who get me in trouble was myself, I've never found anyone who I'd trust to work with me that I knew 100% would behave themselves. I haven't got any children, but I can definitely say that I'd be happier letting them go out now than I would have been in the dark old days when men with serious convictions for assault were working on the doors. The SIA is also a very effective deterrent to criminality for those thinking of any naughtiness of any sort, as an example, I was considering "relocating" a load of Oak tree rings last week, it would have been theft (if I'd got caught), when I considered that a few logs could cost me 10's of thousands of pounds if my badge was revoked/suspended then I left them where they were! In my experience the only people who have a problem with compulsory registration are those who can not get a badge. I've got 28 years in the job this year, 23 nearly at the same pub, I used to work 5 or 6 nights a week, I only work 2 these days, on my own on the door of one of the city's busiest pubs, I/we have a zero tolerance of idiots, any messing and people are told to leave immediately and are not let back in, I'm still refusing to let people back in who I chucked out in 1990 Yes, I might sound a twat writing all that, but here's the thing ............... I'm a twat who has earned somewhere near half a million quid over the last 28 years standing on the door, doesn't sound so bad to me! 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WILF 47,975 Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 The industry was in a right state before compulsory registration, with all sorts of bullies and weirdos attracted to the job. Very true, the firm that used to work Raquels in Essex were complete animals, saw them practically kick a skinny young lad into a coma one night and they were about 6 handed when they did it........there was no need, they could have very easily ejected him as he must have weighed all of 7 stone!! The mob at Zen in Dartford broke a lads back!! The flip side of the coin was some top class lads that used to work the Gas club just off Leicester Square, who I was friendly with........oddly enough, the one they all said was the most dangerous f****r was a little man in his late 40s who looked like an accountant and was one of the nicest blokes you would could ever wish to meet..........sensible too with a very quiet reserved manner and we got on well. Another good un was a lad who used to work the door of one of the local pubs, again an older guy who had served some time behind the door but was no loud mouthed arsehole..........he could lip read as his daughter was deaf & dumb and he had learned to lip read while she did. Cracking fella, I had a little altercation with his oppo one night who was a complete plum but he came and took me out of the situation and that is how we got talking. Both of the above lads took the view that they were there to make sure everyone had a good night, not to act a prick, which is the right attitude in my eyes. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
