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.

Granted, I wear boots (Docs) not sneakers, but are clubs (or pubs) in the UK that strict??? :confused: "to dream perchance to live (unplug me let me sleep) funhouse mirror algorithms count electric sheep" - Wasted Sky by Numb
It depends on the area. Strict pubs are always in groups for some reason. There are certain places you go where you know you're going to have to dress up like a Prince of some kind just to be able to get in. Luckily, my regulars don't mind me wearing my comedy t-shirts inside, but I always get asked for ID, by the SAME GUY every time. Simon ...managed to avoid his vb lecture today. Sonork ID 100.10024

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
At home in Dublin, one of the local pubs is one of the pubs favored by the Taoseach (head of state). A few years ago the doormen refused me, becase I wasn't local ;P , they where later eduacted as to the error of their ways and it hasn't happed since. Regards Ray "Je Suis Mort De Rire"

Just for that cool line, CG should get a CP T-Shirt. I hope Chris has one that big.

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"
Welcome to life here in Belfast/Norn Iron. It's a good job you didn't eat in at the Northern Whig - as the prices are a bit extreme. Joe.

Bluegrass is a type of music favoured by hicks. It involves the banjo - need I say more ? Christian I have come to clean zee pooollll. - Michael Martin Dec 30, 2001 Picture the daffodil. And while you do that, I'll be over here going through your stuff.
I resent that. I am a jazz guitarist by training - having payed my way thru school playing in various gigs and studio work. I taught guitar for several years in the 70's before work pressure made me give it up. I started playing all acoustic music about 10 years ago due to an interest in early 30's and 40's music. I ain't no hick. I can read, write and discuss music on both a practical and theoritical level. Bluegrass is a mixture of southern blues, old time mountain music, celtic, ragtime , and jazz that was made popular by Bill Monroe. It contains some elements of western swing and as the early jazz bands did not have guitars because they were not loud enough very often the rhythm and often some lead work was done by banjo because of the sound volumn they had ( remember this was pre amp days ). Anyways bluegrass is probably the most sophisticated acoustic music being performed today from a musical standpoint. It takes many years to get good enough to play as a pro in this genre and , while it is a small subset of the acoustic scene , it is rapidily growing in popularity. Favored by hicks indeed. Methinks a little research is needed while removing appendage from mouth. Consult , if you will, with your own Tommy Emmanuel who while also being one of the worlds best acoustic guitarists having made cuts with the likes of Chet Atkins et. al. is also a big proponet of Bluegrass. Give a listen, if your poor pop music ruined ears can appreciate it, to music by Tony Rice, Doc Watson, Bill Monroe,John Grisman,etc.. A particular favorite of mine that may help you bridge the obvious musical gap in you foundation is "The Pizza Tapes" featuring Rice, Grisman, and Jerry Garcia ( of the Dead). Give it a try. It will open ears and eyes. All acoustic, all unrehearsed, all fantastic. Mr Rice is not only a renowned bluegrass guitarist but is also a jazz guitarist of some repute. Try "River Suite For Two Guitars" with John Carllini. As well he is a composer of many original guitar pieces. Check out Amazon.com and see what you are missing by foolishly putting labels on music. Richard BTW Even Bob Dylan likes it. He is featured on "Clinch Mountain Country" with Ralph Stanley. Richard If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you.

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.

:) I think you'd need to be a bit clearer that that, I mean "see if I can't pick up your mother and your sister for a bit of fun" might be a bit vague for the average doorman. ________________ David Wulff http://www.davidwulff.co.uk "I loathe people who keep dogs.
