Could have been worse ... you could pick a fight with a doorman from your village ... after all it is more dangerous than Afghanistan......I think this is the club you are on about.original_20161122_205239.jpg You like that emoji don't ya.... ?

mattyg 1,862 Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Not that I go looking for it but I've always been advised to steer well clear of the smaller stature doormen..... They are there for a reason where as the massive lads are there to provide a visual deterant! Although being carried out of a curry house by f***ing giant whilst foaming at the mouth would appear to piss on my chips. Lol Matt 2 Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 30,598 Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 There used to be a club called Raquels back in the day in Basildon, I had a set too with a bouncer there because they pulled some 7 stone wet through kid backwards down the stairs and 4 of them absolutely savaged him......I thought they were gonna kill the kid. I didn't know the kid, I just thought it was a terrible Liberty.......truth be told he was probably a stranger serving up who didn't buy his stock off the blokes the doormen worked for. But that's just a guess, can't think of any other reason to set about such a small kid like that. I've had a few run in with bouncers when I was a young man but then again I have met a lot of decent one of your own types too. Zen at Dartford they were handy enough, they had little back corridors there and would just drag a lad out the back and that was the end of him......for some reason they really disliked me there although I never did anything to cause this........maybe it was just my winning manner........or the fact my pal Reggie flattened about 6 of them one night ! Lol Raquels now there was a shit hole,that and Jets in Southend and a few others that slip my mind the doors were all run by the same little mob who were all owned by the same big mob.......from Canning Town through Dagenham out to Southend the dough all ended up in the same pockets and to this day never had a finger pointed at them which is the difference between people who keep their nut down and earn dough and those who want to run about shouting their mouths off.....only in my opinion of course. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 30,598 Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 f**k all that getting poked,prodded and spat at for odd quid a night most of these big fairies you see standing on doors would do it for nothing as well !......there was a time when an old time club bouncer would be given a wide berth now the kids look at these trendy door supervisors as an easy target for a quick rep. Might not be your cup of tea mate but watch the film/documentary by Len McClean's son. The doors in them days were staffed by very dangerous men Yes ive seen a few bits of it mate.......they were the days when pubs/clubs asked you to mind the door not the other way round you didnt go applying for jobs your reputation spoke for you......bit of a muggy game these days lads seem to like the notoriety that comes with it whereas in our day it was all a bit embarrassing i only did it for a couple of years when i was potless it ended up in a court case that dragged on for 18 months that we eventually got cleared on after a couple of lads got hurt at a well known club called Charlie Chans some folk may of heard of... it was underneath Walthamstow Dog Track a lot of the footballers used to get in there back in the day it was a reasonably well behaved club and seen as a good little number amongst bouncers but alas your always going to run into the odd lunatic. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I (and most others in that area) would have only known about the locals mate, I didn't get involved in any of that caper or with those people. I exchanged small talk one night and that was about it. There was another group of bouncers local who I think worked for the man that owned the farm down the 128 (I won't name drop as its not relevant ) but I got on well with a couple of those men, they were alright......one could lip read as his daughter was deaf (he had just got out the boob) and he was a lovely man.......handy skill when you are watching a room he reckoned.

Lol You got into it with tucker or tate ? Lol Nope, I never said that......I exchanged small talk with them one night in a pub and that was about it......all 2 minutes of it but they were polite enough, no reason not to be to a stranger I suppose.

I was answering your post about taking the piss out of the fact I did 22 years in the army so I wondered how many years you did ... you see it's easy to call somebody names and say I could do this and could do that if I wanted to but the fact is you didn't and haven't so you will never know if you could have or if your arse would have fallen out at the first smell of cordite........ 7 Link to post Share on other sites
