mickbrown Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I got kicked out once . Case of mistaken identity. Mate of mine barfed all over the shop I took the rap. Tried to get back in wearing somebody else's coat and a pair of glasses. Bouncer whispered in my ear 'fuck off son before I twat you' I was gutted - walked home feeling like one of the Birmingham Six Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolton va va Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Talking to FD recently about his time as a bouncer at the Palais & he said that 1st night they had him turning the wheel that rotated the stage, but he did it too fast & shot the band off the stage when it stopped abruptly. Apparently they let someone else do it after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MancWanderer Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Loved it when it was Cinderella Rockerfellas. Start off in Corks then off to Cinderellas. Fuck all other places worth going to when you had to get togged up. Went a couple of times when it became Ritzy's and never went again Moved on to Hawthorns and met the first Mrs Manc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not in Crawley Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Much like Kent, didn't venture in very often and if we did it was always on a Wednesday for student night. Despite my best efforts to seduce Kent during a particularly lively version of Size of a Cow, he never responded to my advances. But I do have one sorry tale from a night out there. I was seeing a young lady (lets call her Margot) who had just gone on a two week holiday. Two weeks is a long time for a 19 year old lad, so I did the decent thing and pulled her best friend on one of those rare occasions I ventured into Ritzy. Her friend, racked with guilt, promptly told Margot on her return. I wasn't bothered that much, except for the fact I'd missed out on the 200 Marlboro Lights she'd brought back for me (don't ask, it was the mid 90s) So, forgot about it, went back to Uni etc About a year later was having a drink with a mutual friend, and she said have you seen Margot's book? Obviously I hadn't. But Margot was a bit of a bright spark, gone to Cambridge and subsequently became a published poet. Next day, went into Waterstone's and lo and behold there was the said poetry book. Had a quick read through and she'd pretty much slagged me off, chapter - and indeed - verse, in most of the poems. Fairly good revenge. Didn't hear anything until about 4 years later she got in contact asking if I'd take part in her Radio 4 programme on The Male Muse! Tempting, but I declined. Then just last week, I was outside by current place of work having a quick ciggie (its a venue as well as office space) and there behind me was a massive poster of Margot announcing that she was performing there that weekend. So, in my humble experience, don't cheat on academics and future poets in Ritzy, even is you advance onto the fingering couches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Well, that took all of ten seconds to find out who she is. Oh well, what's good for the goose, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) I was just curious btw, I suspect we moved in similar circles back then, if not circles then Venn Diagrams*. * I was still a semi-lout.

If you went into Hawthorns on Friday nights between 94-98, I suspect we've probably already met each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha, I really want to read the book now, even though I don't know her. Or you, for that matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
