My last post
As a farwell on my last night, I gave out some chubba chubbs to my favourite people. Some read this
I can say I have worked with some interesting and amazing people.
My bossess have been easy to describe in simple words; Overly happy (he was gay), smolderingly hot (a she), highly intelligent (an owner), motivated and charged (an owner), great eye candy (a she).
My colleagues have been equally diverse. In bouncers, I’ve worked with some butch women, some guys who were better suited to counting bubbles in aerated beverages, other guys who were better suited to the front line with the infantry. There are some very smart, intelligent, clever bouncers out there who get a raw deal. I would suggest, if you bump into those type, who are reasonable and flexible and treat you like a human – be nice back – let their boss know they are great. The other ones… well, you don’t pay much for your drinks so they don’t pay much for the security… everyone gets what they paid for.
To ladies who flirt with bouncers; the intelligent bouncers see through it, the bone heads lap it up. Most bouncers are taken and walk a very, very fine line with girls at night. It is very easy to cross that line (I’ve not done it, but have been tempted oh so often), and mix business with pleasure. However, my biggest message to lady patrons is that bouncers will more likely ‘date’ staff rather than patrons; so try not to make a fool of yourself.
Guys, the smart thing to do is be nice, always. Never argue, never challenge. A bouncer is trying their hardest to weed out the likely problem people. The instant you do something to pop up on the radar, you will become a target.
General comments:
Fights always come in two types: ‘Hit and run’ and ‘full on’. The ‘hit and run’ is unpredictable. Someone usually comes out of no where, king hits the opponent and disappears before anyone really notices. Thank god for CCTV in those cases. The ‘full on’ is easy to spot. It usually begins with chesting (both blokes push out their chest), a little open palm work (they point their hands to the ground with the open palm facing the adversary), then its a grab any part of the opponents clothing, hold him and hit him.
- General rule of thumb, the head is the target – not the torso.
- General rule of thumb, do not end up on the ground – your head will get kicked by cowards.
- General rule of thumb, if your opponent bears his chest, takes hit top off, he has done this before and is experienced
Always hold onto your own drink. Spiking is so easy these days. Always be together in groups of at least 2. Don’t leave your friend because you found someone hot. Help them get someone too – the later things go on, the easier it becomes.
Lots of serious relationships develop within the pub/club scene. Be prepared, you may end up marrying what looked like a one-night-stand.
The inverse is also true, many breakups happen.
That’s it. So good night, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did…
