    Getting kicked out of a website isn’t what I’m talking about really. :p

    I got barred from a pub/club before for being too drunk and disorderly.

    You?

    Barred, for life, from a cash and carry ware house.

    I was working security there and got to know a really nice woman. She was a great sport and we'd have some craic, in passing.

    One day, I told her a joke that would be okay with her. But, she looked at me as if I'd just done like the Dog in " The Thing ".

    Later, I was called into the managers office and hauled across the coals. My office then told me I was never to return.

    Turns out, there were two absolutely identical women working there. One was my sport. The other was the big bosses wife. And she was absolutely neurotic as all hell! :rolleyes:

    Leitrim , it's long story but I was at a wedding when I made the comment that the happy couple looked like they could be related and that's how the fight started.

    You got barred from a whole county?
    It must have been a very inflammatory comment...

    Kicked out of a gig and barred from the venue for separating two girls fighting.

    I didn't know one of them was security.

    No.

    Closest I ever got to being barred was a temporary ban from the Personal Issues when I diagnosed some lad as having sleep apnoeia.

    Must have been pretty bad, thought it would have taken quite a bit to get barred from there. Have a self inflicted ban from there myself, but only because it's an absolute sh!t hole.

    :D

    Why are your examples always so vague and you don't get involved in conversations you start OP?

    Which "pub/club" did you get barred from? When/why did it happen? At least tell us that to make your story somewhat believable..

    I’ve never been barred, but it would be great if Chore Sex guy could be permanently banned from boards.

    Today he’s lawnmower75 or something!!

    I'm barred from O'Neills Irish Bar in Liverpool, cos I complained about the way a Barmaid poured a pint of Guinness. She poured it straight and I asked her to do it properly, she had me escorted off the premises.

    It was a long long time ago, and it was a **** hole then too and I have no idea why, as I had no memory of the night in question. :D

    Honestly, Fryup; They were bloody identical! After the bollocking from the manager, I spent the rest of that miserable shift going round the place like a pin ball. One minute, There she was! Smiling at me. But, it was Her! I'd dash off, and there she was again, glaring at me like I had two swearing heads! Off I'd dash again.

    Tell ye what? I swear I could pick that face out a line up, today. Thirty years later. Either of them.

    Many moons ago I was barred from my local pub by the new owners wife when she found out I was in the (Irish) Army!
    Came home from the Lebanon to find I was barred from the pub I had frequented for years, for no real reason other than being a soldier.
    This was in Offaly btw.
    I was already barred from two grocer shops in the same village for the same reason.
    Had to suck it up, because that practice was widespread at one time.

    Good times.

    I drove my mother to the hairdressers, went back to her house, and waited for a phone call to say she was finished,
    When the call came I drove there and waited outside. After half an hour I asked if she was there.
    They said she left a long time before. It was winter, dark, raining, and my mother was in her mid 80s.
    I phone the Garda. About 15 minutes later I got a call from the hairdressers to say she returned.
    She had gone to the local supermarket to do some shopping.
    The message was passed to me not to call to the hairdressers again.

    You need to talk to a professional about your obsession with the British, their Monarchy & their Army. How many threads is this now?

    Build a bridge, etc...

    Sorry for the intrusion but can I ask why?
