Vera's a Skanger

VoodooDonkey

Those of you who know Vera Duffy might be tickled by this.

In order to show the Emporium the error of their ways re: their dress code
which is being complained about elsewhere on Boards.

La belle Vera will be donning her shiniest track suit, hoodie & baseball cap
for Sundays 50euro freeze-out.
This is one north-side skanger the doormen might struggle to turn away. :rolleyes:

Well if they have let in selected under 21's when they feel like it, this might fall under that rule too, and while possibly showing up the stupidity of the rule it won't change things.

It seems to me that the SE regulars are like the nice girlfriend of an asshole boyfriend. Everyone else can see that he treats her badly and shows her no repect, but she can't see it herself and tries to defned him and give him every opportunity to change because he really loves her. Open your eyes.

Obviously she meets a less rich and powerful stranger with nice eyes and after a tempestuous hour and 30 minutes the boyfriend crosses some "line" that wakes her up to reality. She and the stranger disappear off into the sunset and live happily ever after (for at least as long as it takes to roll the credits anyway).

I like the analogy Dom, but perhaps what the asshole boyfriend wants is more action downstairs

This could make a good sitcom
Stunty could be played by Alan Rickman
Vera by Helen Mirren
Taylor durten by Jack Black
Jayminator by Meryl Streep (she is so versatile)
Metal man by Colin Meany
Spenser James by Rowan Atkinson
Dom could be played by Brian Denehy
With a guest appearances by Hector jelly played by Tim Roth and Valor played by Woody Allen

What a load of s....

If you want to believe that then good luck to you.

I like the staff in the SE, I like playing in there when there is a crowd, and I don't blame the poker staff for the current plight, but unswerving loyalty has to be earned, and the club does very little for customers to earn that, as several threads over the years, most of which ahsve been started or caontributed to by its biggest regulars, have shown.

VoodooDonkey

The movie has to be a tragic comedy of errors ending with
the asshole boyfriend character dying a painful
lonely death after being abandoned by everyone around him.

Whilst the script is still a work in progress
some of the main characters have been developed;

Skanky Vera is a baglady from the wrong side of town
who posesses the ubiquitous heart of gold.
There's a bumbling police chief played by Roy Scheider
who laughs in the face of pot-odds despite being surrounded by sharks.
Two crazy characters of mysterious middle eastern descent,
one a “very clever man” who invented the bar of soap & breath mints
the other will need to be recast as the original ‘Ektor
is no longer available at this location (nor indeed any other!)
The leading man will be played either by
TylerDurden as a Heathcliffesque character
with the dark brooding demeanor of a wild eyed man of few words
or alternatively by 5StarPool as one of those Bruce Willis characters,
somewhat folically challenged but always Tries Hard & then Tries Harder.
A sporting jock character played by a former Rugby star called Harold.
Somewhere in the mix will be a plaintive tear inducing
musical number entitled “Joseph & the Amazing Technicolour Suck-Out”.

Ok odds that voodoodonkey=yuletired?

5Starpool - I know I am going completely off thread here
but is there anyway to print this thread out (in one printout) as I know Vera would love to read this even though she is not on BOARDS.

I'll give you evens on a grand.

I did like voodoos post though so I see where you are coming from


Voodoo coming from Reggie it's not a compliment

tylerdurden94

Who are you Voodoo Donkey if you dont mind me asking?

VoodooDonkey

You're right Yule,
coming from the ginger whinger I didn't think it was a compliment. :rolleyes:

No Tyler I don't mind you asking.
However if a book is being opened on my identity
I'm pretty sure keeping quiet a while longer should be massively +EV.

We will be coming to Dublin very soon though.

Ah riddles and mysterious for now so

Not particularly mysterious....

If a club has a set strict age limit which itself breaks from time to time they are breaking the law in much the same way as a pub serving 17 yr olds:eek:

Suprissed they havent been caught for this!

How are they breaking the law? All they are doing is ignoring their own rules when it suits. Which most places do anyway.

My guess is the lighthaired tranvestite that lost that staring competition with EL Stuntman. I don't know what the forfeit was as you both left the room soon after.

If a private club/pub/nightclub sets its own age restriction it HAS to stick to it as tighty as the no serving booze to under 18's as it descrimanation if they stop some on age and not others

Yes most places do! But most places are also breaking the law!

The Guards tend not to go after this unless they get complaints
The reason i thought they would have gotten trouble over it is their location, thought a few would have complained by now

Thanks to musician.
I gave VERA a printed copy of this thread (upto post no 20) in the SE last night when she was on one of the 4 tables playing in the 50 EURO DoubleChance. I am awaiting with interest her response.:D
