Big John Fury vs Lenny The Guvnor McLean

What I hate is how easily triggered they are, they're angry that you're younger and better looking than them and you haven't made the complete mess of your life that they have. They deliberately try and start something however they can. Old doorman are a problem, wanting to relive their 'glory days' when they were paid to apparently calm things down. I've worked in enough nightclubs to see that this isn't the case. My sister is a solicitor and she said that she regularly sees cases where a drunken punter has been disfigured thanks to the 'heavy handed' nature of the door staff. I'm going off on one now because I feel so strongly about this but about 15 or 16 years ago some bouncers saw me as an easy target when I accidentally knocked a glass off the bar. As they dragged me away, nipping me and doing what they could to try and antagonize the drunken version of me, I knew they were taking me to a room that was known for where punters took a beating. I acted lifeless and when they let go I elbowed the guy who was holding me full in the face and bolted out of the door. Never went in the venue again, I've worked with people who didn't have the presence of mind to do such a thing and the stories aren't good.

So yeah, I hate angry old men who still think they're "The Guvnor!" Not that they probably ever were at any time in their lives in the first place. It's an age old line but it still doesn't seem to have sunk in with society, the bigger man walks away.

 

"It's just how it was back then", as if they were growing up in 1930's London when really all they did a couple of nights a week at a small town carpet and chrome 2am nightclub in the mid 90s.

Yeah Peter Kay got that absolutely spot on, haha, cracks me up, that era of mainstream comedy, Phoenix Nights, The Office, Ali G etc. I thought it would make people more self aware yet every kid south of the Midlands talks with a faux cockney/Essex accent, McLean types still exist everywhere and, as the place where I work displays brilliantly, The Office seems more like a real life documentary than ever before!
