Deejay Denzel Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 A barr at the Bushy's tent means nothing, Most of the people barred from licensed premises through the courts are down there every night. Surely this area is licensed premises? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebees Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 One of my mates asked one of the chaps if he was qualified to tell people to stop having a good time, he got barred! That sums the whole IoM security boys in hi-viz up quite well. No having a good time allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nipper Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 The evidence of this incident is unconvincing. Apart from the evidence of posters who were there. Not sure about the security aspect but I believe the last couple of nights were good, Brazen, Shedmen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartacus Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Aye, The Shedman had a dig at the Nazi Youth! Someone had the temerity to start jumping up and down and whaddya know, Mr ginga comes steaming in.. I was stood at the front for their gig, but to the side, and a few guys had moved the barrier forward so again in steams said "security" guy and shoos them back. I was leaning on the barrier watching the band when the stupid lump kicks the barrier with his size 16 steel toe caps - just glad my high quality plastic cup was almost empty. Ok, the crowd surfing at Rosie was a bit hairy (a boot missed me and my glasses by a whisker) but it really did seem as if their role was to stamp on any form of revelry. Still, as anyone who has been through an airport will attest, give someone a hi-vis jacket and they usually turn into a cretinous despot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Had a chat with the two top pourers at Bushys - do you know they average 1800 pints (one person) on a busy nite - around 7.4 something pints each a minute using three pumps each! Even I can't drink that fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartacus Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 And to think it all has to come out again! And folk complained about the bogs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone had the temerity to start jumping up and down and whaddya know, Mr ginga comes steaming in.. A band that plays punk rock and people start jumping up and down. It's a scandal I tell thee. We'll have none of that sort of behaviour on our Island Some of these biker types might think they are tough but nowhere near as tough as our local bouncers. Bushys need a serious rethink. Are they are up to the job of laying on entertainment during TT week anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kersal Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Bizzare how you can have a good trouble free night out in manchester or liverpool and yet bar owners and bouncers here seem total mugs when dealing with people who have had a pint or two and just out to have a good time. Some years ago bouncers in manchester started to get more friendly after some of them got shot, stabbed or just hammered. The result was that the normal Joe who just goes a bit over the top with the dancing or falls asleep momentarily at the bar is given a wide birth and spoken to politely. The result is that there is less trouble and bouncers and punters get along better. I am not saying that shootings, stabbings and beatings are good or advocating them. What I am saying is that the bouncers and bar owners over here wouldn't last five minutes on the mainland-and live anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manxman27 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I only went to the tent once this year, to photograph the Brazen gig, but the security guy I spoke to was fine, he let me jump over the barrier to take my photos. Didn't see any problems but perhaps they had been told to calm down by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll have none of that sort of behaviour on our Island Well, yes, but let's remember it was the singer who had the pop... I think his expression was "The IOM Police State" which got him the evil eye from the bouncer at the front. Let's be clear that the opinions of the singer do not constitute the opinions of ALL of The Shedmen... (said the non-confrontational guitarist!) Interesting that the crowd were as raucous, if not more raucous during our last half hour in the Tent back in 2008, and not a yellow jacket in sight last year. To put it in perspective, the view from the stage was that whilst there was a heavy presence, it did not strike me as too heavy a handling (I've seen worse) and for those that recall the Bushy's Music Room of the early 90's, it was less rowdy last week than it was in the halcyon days of Bushy's pub... All that aside though... it was one helluva gig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
