....not from this forum...but from something else? If so, what was it?


I only ask as I've just found out I've been banned from a wedding....my missus is going and quite cool about going without me. Once I got over it and reflected on the reasons I'm quite proud...

school: expelled

Pie and Mash shop down The Cut: several years ago - for popping-out to get a bottle of HP sauce from local grocers after being told they didn't have any in the cafe.

driving: long story

couple of pubs: few years ago. fighting / weapons. to be fair it was not my fault entirely, I was just responding in kind but I was the ass that got caught.

Burma: not sure it's on their official records, didn't hang around to find-out, but the army took me near to Chedi Sam Ong (three pagodas pass) border and told me I was not welcome back in Burma. 'spying'.

Got deported from Holland.. Insufficient Funds... Missed The Floyd in Vondelpark 1971


Funny I had enough money to get back, get a train to the Reading Festival, pay for the festival,

eat and drink and get back home.


And to top it all, me and my mate got searched between the station and the festival.


And a Police man was shot and killed after he stopped a car in Reading Town Centre.

Unrelated to the festival..

Got thrown out and banned from The Two Trees pub in Plymouth (very classy place) a few years ago, as my friends and I argued with the door man for quite a while that I really was sober enough to go in and then I fell down the stairs

Me too. Come on lovely Mr Ben, spill..



PS Private Members' Club, Pall Mall. Early-Mid 90s (memory hazy).


The crime? Playing the piano without permission. Removing lightbulbs from chandeliers without permission. Food fight in the Dining Room without permission. Drug-taking on the fire escape stairway without permission. You get the idea.

Been thrown out of a lot of (not all licensed) places and given a 'you're barred' bon mot on leaving.


Was properly banned from Barclays Bank back in the 90s. A dispute between us eventually led to them writing to me - though I had plenty of money in my a/c - stating they were "no longer prepared to handle your account" and giving me a couple of weeks to take my accumulated wealth and fuck off.


They used slightly more technical language.

Banned from this weird army shop.


Customer was in front demanding a refund for something, and the cashier just wasn't having it - repeatedly pointing to some sign that was no more than a laminated scrap piece of paper that had "no refunds" on it.


So there I was waiting in line and minding my own business, when the guy suddenly turns on me and asks "here, would *you* notice that?" whilst pointing at the sign. Being the honest kid I used to be, I instinctively said "no" - immediately realising what a mistake I'd made when it was my turn to be served.


Cashier wasn't happy, he took my money and let me pay for my item but he told me I was no longer welcome.

I was heartbroken. I fricking loved that army shop :(

School trips - after spending a week's school trip to Arran in the Lamlash Hotel getting p*ssed all day with three friends. I was fifteen.

The Royal Oak, SE1 - my bipolar friend was in an 'up' phase and had a very loud conversation puntuated by many many Fs and Cs. They let me back after a few weeks but he's barred for life.

      Chicks and ducklings

      By malumbu · Posted

      Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By theweekend · Posted

      I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me.

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By Sue · Posted

      If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?

      I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.
