"well i am a doorman, and i always find you only have an opinion on a doorman if you have done something wrong. and when you have done something wrong that is the only time you have a serious encounter with one. so to some it up there is always going to be someone who hates doormen"  | |||

"as a former doorman in Belfast, I can certainly confirm there are quite a few wankers out there on the doors, many who think they are hard men, some who dont, some who know they are. generally I found as a rule of thumb, those who dont think they are hard, and those who KNOW they are, are usually the ones you can talk to, Being a bouncer has changed from the 70's when all you needed was a big forehead and a shovel fist. Today such things as tact, non verbal communications, conflict resolution, firmness, and above all, a sense of humour are required. what you will find is that, statements like "regulars only", "we're full up love" and turning away a large group are regular weapons in the modern day "bouncers" armoury, when I worked the doors, I'd turn away groups of people, even if they were fine if I seen ONE person in that group was not in a fit and proper condition, its easier to turn away the whole group rather than single out one person (conflict avoidance). As I previously said, there are wankers wannabe hardmen on the doors, hopefully the continuation of SIA licensing can them down. If you remember anything from my post, then please remember these two nuggets of wisdom : Bouncers deal with arseholes from the start of their shifts till the end, occassionally violence visits. You only see a bouncer when you approach a door, the bouncer see's you walking up the street. Lets please not use the term BOUNCER, its a throwback to bad days, lets use "Ejection Technician" "Well said sir and I also hope that the SIA the wankers out | |||

"i am a doorman in blackpool and its a hard job most of the time. i try my best but doorman cant keep everyone happy and have to make quick judgement, there are a few doorman that do give doorman a bad name n think there something that they are not. this happens in all jobs and having to deal with abuse most of the shift u do get tired of listenin to people windin about small little things. i use to live in belfast n i never had any problem with the door man over there." very well put | |||
