Embarressed ...

Doh! One of the better managers in this place and a guy I went to uni with are leaving to take advantage of an oportunity in the market. So we all went out for a meal in a chinese which was very nice. We then went to a rather pretenious pub afterwards called the 'Northern Wig', I have never liked it much. They are letting everyone else through (about 10 of us, there were people already inside and more people on the way), of course I released everyone else had just come straight from work and were still wearing suits. I was dressed quite well but still was wearing a T-Shirt. Of course I got refused, the usual excuse ... no under 25's tonight ... they have a library of excuses for non-admital they can throw at you. So what can I do, argue with them ... pointless ... get everyone else to leave and go to another pub ... are you kidding ... so I just turned away, told my colleagues I was meeting friends in another pub later anyway and left. A while later I got the usual barrage of phone call and text messages saying the doormen had been sorted out and I was to come back, but there was no way I was going to suffer that indignity. I hate the 'Northern Wig'. Regards Ray "Je Suis Mort De Rire"
Well, you need to remember that when men with their knuckles dragging on the ground are paid $3 an hour and given a smidge of power, they are bound to abuse it. You should have said something along the lines of 'That's OK, I've got $15 in one of my pockets here, I'll go down the street and see if I can't pick up your mother and your sister for a bit of fun. I should have enough change left to buy some penicillin.' Then run. Christian I have come to clean zee pooollll. - Michael Martin Dec 30, 2001 Picture the daffodil.

I'd do this if I were you. Wear a suit and go there. Once you are in, go to the wash room and change into bermudas and a t-shirt. Then when you finish eating, go out and smile at the doorman and tip him heavily. Make it as dragging as you can at the door. If possible ties your shoe laces a couple of times. Ask him to hold your bag [containing the suit which you have removed]. Then smile again and leave. Remember not to laugh, just smile calmly.

Its the same most places in Europe, certain pubs have a certain look they want to preserve ... It got so bad at home in Dublin they had to legislate against it ... You can had a pub fined €6000 now, if your refused groundlessily ... Regards Ray "Je Suis Mort De Rire"

I really feel your pain! I've been refused entry before for various reasons. What makes me laugh is a Pub around by me. It's the biggest dump you've ever seen ok, it looks (no exaggeration) dilapidated from outside. Inside is no better. When a bouncer informed me that my black shoes "looked too much like trainers" to be able to enter, I laughed in his face. I love the way they try to improve their image by upping the entry requirements like that. :-D Simon ...managed to avoid his vb lecture today. Sonork ID 100.10024

Well, they may have accepted my shoes, but they wouldn't have liked my jacket or my hair. My Canadian Coast Guard jacket is okay, but I've gone against my style and put some some patches for bands on it, and my hair is blue at the moment. :-D :-D People here in BC don't usually look at me twice, but I don't expect to get into any 'classy' joints.
