Dave Hedgehog Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I think there should be, quite literally, a 'two strikes (or one significant strike) and you're off island' policy. I suppose that is one way of shutting up those moaning bus inspectors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee54 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I'm surprised anyone can get too drunk in Colours given the amount of time it takes to get served in there when it is even so much as mildly busy. As far as nicer establishments go hopefully the place in the old courthouse will raise the bar somewhat. From what I have heard they are going to be somewhat more selective as to the type of clientele they let in. Thats forum members F***ed then.

In the UK they need to be SIA trained and wear said badge, i didnt see any badges last time i was over............. No exact qualification, though some IOM doorman have their SIA badge, most can just apply for a badge via Dept of Home affairs and start work. The badge has to be displayed, most havana doormen wear theirs on the upper arm. I believe there is also a course available on the Island and is run by the Government using Kevin Shannon and Barry of Pro-tek. Not sure if this is or soon will be a legal requirement.

drev Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I'm somewhat surprised that trouble seems to gravitate to some of the posters on here. I have been out drinking in Douglas for the majority of Fridays and Saturdays for the last 10 years without a sniff of trouble. Sure I have seen incidents but none have involved me or my group. It's not as though we lead a sheltered life either, in the last 2 months we have been in every single pub in Douglas and just last week covered off alleged trouble spots Macbeths, G and D's, Colours, and the outback, amongst others. I would suggest the people in this thread who can't avoid trouble probably have mouths that lead them into it. You can find trouble anywhere if you look for it......
