I don't think that bouncer has a stamp as the cloakroom is right beside him and they have the stamp. And to be honest it doesn't really take long to get a stamp from the cloakroom, does it?

a something similar happened to me on my birthday. i went outside to see a friend, had my hand stamped on the way out, and as i went to go back inside i was told that i'd been asked to leave several times. i'd only been in the place 2-3 minutes previous to going outside, though. oh well, i was pretty drunk and it's not like they beat me up.

More common than not I'm in a relatively reasonable state when I'm out. I do have the odd night of chaos and I admit that I doubt I'd think to do it when drunk. I've never been dragged down the stairs by the neck though - note: this never seems to happen to girls, I was chucked out exodus once and was simply escorted to the door.

Took me well over half an hour. It was around 1:30am by this time and I joined the queue halfway down the stairs.

I've also recieved a stamp from the bouncer in that location countless times in the past.

I was meaning for other people really. We all know that you are mostly in a good state
The bouncer at the door downstairs has the stamp.
I remember there was another bouncer on a night out(I know he was because he knows one of my friends) and he was in a complete state- by this I mean he was stumbling over hugging everyone and falling on the odd occasion yet he was let in by the bouncers. Oh and he skipped the queue that was there(must've been a Wednesday or a Saturday im not too sure).

Do I get this right? Are they charging you for the stamp to go out for a smoke?

I once got turfed out for hiccuping, which was a bit rich I thought, on the other hand I once got refused entry for being over-pished, but I stood and POLITELY argued my case for an hour (I was amused by my own smart arsedness I think), and eventually got in for the last half hour. I think the key factor was POLITELY. One of my cardinal rules in life is that it is not worth winding up people in black uniforms (well maybe goths then).
