Well, that's what I think of Bouncer's anyway.
One of my mates is at university in Southampton. We've been friends since we were about 12. He was going back to uni on Sunday, so I deceided on Saturday to go out for a drink with him and my flatmates.
Anyway, my and the first mate were the first ones at the train station, so we deceided to go straight to the pub. The Moon and Stars, which we practically lived at during college.
We walk up to the doors, start to go in, when a bouncer walks in front of me. He says "got any ID mate?"
I say, "Er, no. I'm 20"
He says, "so no ID?"
I say, "I'm 20!"
He tries to shoo me off. So I get out my wallet. I have a driving licence (old one, no picture), my Young Person's railcard (photo, lacered, with my date of birth), my uni ID, and about 4 credit cards. They wouldn't let me in. He said I should get a prove it card
I said "Why? I'm 20. I've been coming here for 3 years, and I've NEVER been asked for ID."
And then he told me to fuck off.
So, to all those repressed wankers who were bullied at school and who never, ever had sex until they were 34, and even then the girl looked like my arse, I say this:
"TOSSERS!"
Thank you.

"what, you think I'm seventeen?!!"
Wasn't this a sketch on Blue Jam?
Bouncers are indeed gits. I recall recently going out with a group and the bouncer said "no all-male parties". This was upsetting, especially to the girl he had said it face-to-face to. They then restricted in to "4 at a time". Guess who was No.5, waiting upstairs for 10 minutes?

Well, I've never had trouble getting into a Pub (mainly because I've never TRIED) but I DO kinda identify with you.... I still get carded at the movie theaters... like... a LOT... and I'm the only one of my friends that does... even the 15 year olds don't! Kinda sucks... specially when the person at the window accuses me of having FAKE ID! Oy...... *shakes head* The curse of looking 12.....

Sorry Mucus. I was thinking of both "Bouncer" and "wanker" at the same time, and kind of combined the words.
LOA: my cousin always got asked for ID in pubs. Even when she was 27. Now THAT was a sight, to see her grab a man almost a foot taller than her and scream in his face.
Well, probably not fun for him.
