When we dared to ask why we were being asked to leave we were tackled and dragged down the stairs, my mate by the neck and me with my arms twisted up my back, with a couple of sneaky punches thrown in, and literally thrown right out the door. We hadn't even done anything wrong, nor were we told why we'd been chucked out.

A few months ago another of my mates was thrown on the floor and dragged down the stairs and had his head bounced off every step on the way down. When he got to the bottom he got up and asked the guy why he'd done it and the bouncer said "I didn't drag you you fell down the stairs on your own." My mate went to another bouncer who had seen the whole thing and was told that he'd seen him fall down the stairs on his own.

How can these wankers get away with that kind of shit?

were you the guy who tired to bribe his way back in and then threw a coin off of one of them?

I could have called the police, but in the circumstances i didn't think that was necessary and only would have aggrevated the situation.

They were being unreasonable and negligent, end of story.

I've heard countless stories along the same lines as this about the Exodus bouncers, although personally, I've never had anything out of order happen to me. The Exodus bouncers have thrown me out on countless occasions, and I'm always of the opinion that if a bouncer tells you to leave, you just have to leave and not argue as you'll never change their mind.

It's only ever Exodus that I ever hear people complaina bout the bouncers being overly strict or aggressive. Must be that Artic Monkeys playing upstairs.

The collective breath of Aberdeen is held waiting for DJ Dave Milne to weigh in with some hefty but diplomatic verbal blows!

Personally I've never had any bother at all with the Exo bouncers which is surprising considering what a scruffy little troublemaker I generally look like ^_^

Betaax sounds like an anti-depressant.

The bouncers there are a bit strange. Once (a very long time ago) a few us went and only one of us didn't have ID so instead of turning us away they said that if two of the girls kissed they'd let us all in. Now thats professionalism.

a) That's shocking
b) Did they do it?
