A guy hammer a nail through his scrotum into the bar stool he was sitting on. And not flinch! Then break a wine glass and start eating it. I left after this!

What the fúck...... Jesus.

Eh, my story is that when I was in London at Soho Bar just before Chelsea v. Manchester United the whole place was hopping with lads singing Chelsea songs, anti-German songs, anti-Irish songs (ulp!), anti-Spurs songs etc., when the all start singing the Celery song... And proceed to all produce handfuls of celery stalks and begin to throw them all about the place. My pint looked like a decorative plant by the end of it.

Or: being on various substances in an Amsterdam nightclub and being convinced I was watching the bowels of hell opening before me. I was screaming ''IT'S THE RAPTURE! THE RAPTURE!!!'' before I was thrown out.

Went into a pub in Laragh one sunday afternoon to see a young boy, no more than 8 or 9, sitting AT THE BAR, beside what I presumed to be his mother, glass of Guinness in front of him, reading his comics. Assumed it was the mother's drink but nope, she had another one in front of her, and as I was watching, young boy sips his guinness & continues to do so for the duration of my stay there.

Didn't even occur to me til much later that I should have spoken to the manager. Or the guards!

He probably had poor iron levels. Poor kid, you wanting to take his meds away.

A cat attacking my mate in a beer garden one night at the start of summer 2007 and then returning to bite him every saturday night for the rest of the summer.

The owner of our local leaving me and the same friend on our own in the bar for 20 minutes while she went out for ice cream.

Unusual things I have seen in a pub.........mmmmmm
A giant turtle shell, people actually thought it was a small boat.
A rubber bullet,
A piece of the Berlin wall,
The Edge on an old style telephone,
A rendition of Riverdance that I will never forget.

psycho-hope · 24-11-2009 2:00am

not technically in a pub but do remember being at a party in a hotel wit a nightclub downstairs, fight broke out in the club and the only 2 guards in the local station(which is behind the hotel) bringing people out side and handcuffing them to the railings outside while they waited for backup:D

Bonito · 24-11-2009 2:08am

Was out with brother in law and his friends from work, somehow talk started about who had the biggest trouser snake, couple lads whipped theirs out, one lad came back from the toilet, seen what was happening, walked to the bar, opened his zip, and "WHACK" he slapped his on the bar and said "is this big enough for the competition"

Women fainted and men cried.....LOL

In my old local the one of my mates father was having an affair with the landlady, one evening the landlady's daughter returned home from the hospital (the landlord was ill)and found the pair of them in the back.

Lots of screaming and shouting, bottles flying over the bar, he comes out covered with blood! Landlady and daughter are having a catfight behind the bar! hair and blood everywhere & more flying bottles!

Mate takes his dad home (has round two with the missus), Mates grandad (father in law) then calls the landlady a "fucking whore" and gets barred!

She then stomps off! soon afterwards my mates dad returns (the missus has kicked him out) has a few more jars and sleeps round his sons place.

That doesn't change the fact that it's against the law.

And to be honest, I really can't see how introducing a child of that age to the effects of alcohol is a good thing.

LordSutch · 24-11-2009 2:40pm

Was in a small family owned pub in North London a few years ago, sitting there with some mates sipping a pint, when the family's large pet dog decided to take a giant dump in the middle of the lounge

The landlady never even batted an eyelid, she just shoveled it up & gave the spot a quick sponge > Classic!

A stag party where the star attraction was a 55 year old female midget kisogram dressed in a bikini and thigh high boots. Anyway she had a whip and was administering a few lashes to the groom to be when a wiseguy behind her gives him a playful boot in the hole. She subsequently turns and gives him a lash of her whip across the mush. Mayhem. I have to say, ashamedly, I never laughed so much.

Slightly off topic but that TG4 ad in the pub with loads of random bizarre things going on is great! Someone's having a heart attack and someone else is chained to a wall and there's an alien and some old military. The tag line is 'Suil Eile'. Brilliant stuff!

I used to work in a place, got my younger brother a job there (he was about 19 at the time). Anyway, we used to get absolutely buckled while working, did it to the little fella on his second week or so, it ended with him sweeping up in the middle of a pretty packed bar, wearing a bra over his shirt, singing "I want to break free", and getting completely stung by the manager!

Disco-pub, 1998 in Birmingham city centre, stood by the DJ booth and a guy walks up to the dj and as he leans into him to say something produces (what looked to me, not that I know much) like a semi automatic pistol ! Points at his head and says "Now will you play my Fkkking song?"....

All hell ensued.....

A Welsh rugby fan cut off his own testicles after his team beat England, police confirmed today.

The man was rushed to hospital after the incident at Leigh Social Club in Caerphilly, South Wales.

A Gwent Police spokeswoman said: "We received a call from the ambulance service at approximately 9pm on the 5th to inform us of a situation at the Leigh Social Club in which a man had indeed severed his own testicles."

She said the man was taken to Heath Hospital but could not confirm his condition.

It was reported that the man told his friends: "If Wales win I'll cut my own balls off."

After the 11-9 victory in the Six Nations clash, the man is reported to have gone outside and severed his testicles before bringing them back into the club to show fellow drinkers.

A local was reported as saying that the man was on medication and should not have been drinking

Seeing Dave McSavage last month forceable pulling an english woman from the audience in The International Bar while saying "Come on ya slapper", "Your only a whore", "Get the f*ck up out of that" .. etc etc

So when he has here her there he says "Listen everyone, what I'm .." but she interrupts him and really loudly says "Okay, wait though .. just want to say two things to you first".

He looks down into her face with a look that can only be described as one that suggested he was expecting a compliment from the English woman - like, 'What a great gig you tall Handsome Irish rouge you' ..

And just as he's gazing at her with his arm around her she gives him the hardest slap accross the face and walks off .. gig over

He didn't get to say another word with all the laughter and in the end Aidan Bishop just came out and closed things up but he too was in knots.

Heard about this actually. It sounds a lot more fun to witness than the po-faced original account...

Quote of the night!!

Man where do I begin!

A few years ago, in Treacys hotel (Bendicts nightclub), a savage girl, tall, slim great boobs.. she was walking by me and puked all over herself she goes into the toilet and has a feeble attempt at cleaning it off.. comes out a while later and starts meeting some lad.. rotten!

Seeing one girl knock another girl out for looking at her boyfriend the wrong way (Paps in Dun Laoghaire)

In Longnecks in Ballina, sitting near the "scoring couch" where 1 guy actually shagged a girl and 2 others go head all the while myself and a mate were cheering them on (while our GFs say there disgusted!)

But honestly the worse I have ever seen was in Zanzibar, a guy came into the toilets and all the cubicles were full he was begging the lads to hurry up or he was going to s**t himself he lets out a cry and tries to undo his jeans but doesnt get them off in time and basically craps all over his jeans and the floor, he pulled them up and legged it!

I was going to ask what you meant by 'meeting' or did you mean 'mating'?

Then I rembered the Ma years ago asking me where in particular I was 'going with' this girl so maybe I should keep my mouth shut instead of proving that I'm old!
