What's the etiquette here??

That's a great way for the Shelbourne to make sure that the wealthiest of the up and coming generation who generally do look like a crusty won't become their customer.

And how many of these under 35 tech billionaires would you say are only using upmarket hotels in Dublin for the toilet on any given day?

I think the doorman doing his job and keeping out scruffs is no bad thing and I’m sure a manager would be forgiving if he did stop some grotty looking “tech guru”.

OR I saw this

sky diver
When a male or female hangs from a ceiling fan and then poops causing the feces to explode all over their partner.
When Nathaniel finished having sex with Patsy, he grabbed the ceiling fan and performed a sky diver. Patsy was soon covered with his fecal matter within seconds

How do you know if they want to use the loo, or they're coming up as keynote speaker for the 200-person conference when they're approaching the entrance?

The manager might forgive him, but the person refused won't. It would be a foolish business that didn't recognise that dress codes are changing dramatically.

I’m sure the staff would be informed if there was such a person coming to speak. They’d probably told to question, in a polite manner, anyone who looks like a beggar.

Some places still have standards, regardless of wealth.

Not sure what that particularly activity is called, Emmet. Figging however is when a large piece of ginger is inserted into the anus to bring about a burning sensation, and therefore sexual gratification. Must be a different sort of burning sensation than one would experience after visiting the crapper after 5 days eating nothing only microwave cheese burgers and drinking nothing only strong Polish lager.

Strange people out there.

Nothing wrong with Argus 8.5 John.... or Karpackie 9.0 either.

All you have to do is like the fix for the B737-Max.. sort out the AOA issues and make sure when in ‘discharge mode’ one adjusts the FMC to account for the expected ‘soil footprint’ and the probable surge in EGT after ingesting such volatile fuel.

In layman’s language, adjust the angle of your hole to account for a serious flow of scutther which if uncontained could seriously damage the discharge nozzle and contaminate the surrounds unless jet blast fences are installed.

Safety is paramount John,hanging your hole out there and discharging without any containment is not a good move.

Uncontained engine issues are always bad news.

You think that the doormen get the names and photos of the 5-10 speakers at each conference each day? I've run those conferences and spoken at them, and I can assure you that they don't. And what about the people coming to meetings? Or to lunch?

It would be a foolish hotel doorman that would question somebody because they have a beard and a pair of Cons.

Good advice indeed, though it should have included the warning that it takes about ten minutes to get up to the fourth floor from the front doors. You need to build this lead time into your plan, to avoid nasty incidents on the escalators.

An unavoidable problem with all establishments of a certain JD Wetherspoon across the UK.
Although due to many of them being converted banks, you can rely on the facilities being of solid quality construction.
Combined with the cheap and varied menu of beers and a functional bar food menu, it's a solid 8/10 from me.

I've deducted two points for the generally lower class clientele.

An 'outie' bellybutton is a definite advantage.

It's like the difference between playing with a set of cavity backed and bladed irons to the scratch golfer.

I think we’ve gone off the point enough. You might be fine with scruffy looking oddballs frequenting your establishments but I will always prefer to go to ones that have a higher standard expected of their clientele.

Behind this little innocuous gate are some of the cities finest sh1tters. Plenty of times i've stumbled down these steps in a slight panic, with the reassurance of The Cellars luxurious facilities within arms length. Fantastic bog roll, soaps and towels. 10/10.

Apologies, W. As I’d said, we’d gotten off the point altogether. My original point was ducking into a nice hotel for the use of their facilities and that they won’t question you if you are dressed well with a nice haircut and clean shaven.

We then started talking about hypothetical multimillionaires dressing like a crusty student getting refused entry. Ridiculous stuff really.

Such an establishment would only be for an emergency comfort break.

The “solicitor” will bring in a big carrier bag, like the reusable ones you’d get from a supermarket. He’ll open it out on the floor and the other lad will stand into it so that if anyone looks under the door they only see one pair of feet while they engage in a number of sex acts.

Well, everyday is a learning day.

Good call Melon, good deep throated solid thrones to sit on.

I always prefer to go bareback myself, seat up when taking a dump off piste, don’t like my lid languishing on a seat that may have harbored some greasy kernts supporating knob.

Just a thing I have....:cool:

While they are clean shaven those look suspiciously like they could be bootcut jeans. I’d have no issue with a doorman asking them what business they have in the hotel. None whatsoever.

I do, however, feel like I’ve gotten into something I’d rather not with someone who may be a bit of a “tech guru” himself. The type that stays up for long stretches at the computer, can’t read social cues and refuses to make eye contact with you.

Let’s just leave it that you’d like these places to allow anyone in, no matter how they are dressed and I feel that that’s not good for business.

I believe Willie O’Dea is often seeing skulking across the road from the Dail to fire out a thick load of arse stew in the luxuriously appointed facilities of the Merrion Hotel. Never afraid to take a call from an irate Limerick constituent while making toilet either.

Jeez BB, couldnt leave the Hassenforder jewels dangling too far below the rim, too exposed to splash back or worse, contacting the unaseptic porcelain where some chap just emptied his Abbey 2250R.

No way. Its a hover for rapid HALO drops, or wood for longer performances.

Never sh1ts where he eats that lad.

No need for "working man's pub" insecurities to be transferred Bren, these places are referred to as 5 star for a reason.
Hygiene is quite rightly taken very seriously.

Oh and while there, don't bother getting into an argument with the barman about there being too much of a head on your pint, he's most likely a trained professional with years of experience in the bar trade.

You're not.

It's not The Towers in Ballymun you're in now horse!

Trained professional in picking his hoop most likely.

A bowl of Kellogg's All Bran every morning really would work wonders for you, both physically and emotionally.

Slice a banana or two on top for texture.

As I explained above, it's not really a question of whether YOU have an issue with the doorman approaching them, or whether the manager has an issue with the doorman approaching them. The question is whether the person themselves has an issue with the doorman approaching them, and the most likely answer is 'Yes, they will have an issue with being singled out'.

Any business that doesn't realise that it's not 1978 where good people wear suits and bad people wear jeans and chooses to single out any of these is not really for its own successful future.
