Barred from Machines?

blingking · Post by **blingking** » Sat May 31, 2008 4:31 pm

I got barred from a pub yesterday, this is the first pub i have been barred from anywhere for a good few years now. As Alpine021 said, not getting barred really is a seperate skill to playing machines but there are pubs that it really doesnt matter what you do, ya gonna get barred!

The pub i got barred from yesterday had a 125 hopper chip 1 WIYB which i done about 7 or 8 times over the last 2 months, always spent around £8 - £10 behind the bar and spent money and time on the other machine and quizy. Went in yesterday to find the wiyb had gone to be swapped with a cluedo so bought a drink and walked straight to the machine as there was no sign of landy. Decided a quick in and out today was appropriate so lobbed a nugget in cluey but no sooner had coin settled in the hopper i heard a voice over my left shoulder saying "your not allowed to play the machines". So Naturally a replied with "why?" I was then told "Because you use your mobile m m amam murr hmm aa internet" I knew by this mumbling cockmunching talk i had entered into the world of the i dont understand technology so will bar anyone that wins syndrome, but decided to give him another chance and replied with "WHAT?" I then got the same reply as before, full of mumbling with the only two words that i could make sense of being mobile and internet so i said ok give me my money back. Of which he got his wallet out and gave me a crisp £5 note. I then left the completely empty pub wondering exactly why they have to close early every week night due to lack of customers. Yes they close around 8.30/9pm ish every day. Never mind.

I guess it will soon be pulled down to build more flats on just as 2 other pubs in the area have done in the last year.

Oh and the machine before the WIYB was a power 5 which was also unchipped for the 1st time i done it, but then it was chipped and stayed there for a good few months.

Why is the customer always in the wrong? If i owned/ran a pub and my machine was not making money, i would take it out on the company that supplied the machines, not my customers! Why do so many people with zero business sense have control of businesses? cockmunchers!

rant over!

That is true. When you have loads of soft drinks when driving etc, its something like...

Drink 1 - Ahhhh. Refreshing. Could rink these all day!
Drink 2 - Goes down well enough, but starting to feel gassy and full at the end.
Drink 3 - Sugar overload, start to feel sick. Struggle.
Drink 4 - 3/4 finished, the last 1/4 can stay. Forced down, no enjoyment.
Drink 5 - 1/2 gone, hidden drink far from machine. On the verge of sickness, severe gut rot and i want to go home.
Drink 6 onwards - Thrown away. Toilet, floor, plants, whatever. I never want to drink again!

Go into a lively pub to play a GBC, order an alcoholic beverage at 3pm.
Well yes thats cool obviously.

However i go to play a certain other machine which plays ball for a quick 80 profit.

Well heres the thing, Grand Blaster Cash which superholds in the basin bar in the odysee pavilion, Belfast. I would actually pay someone to come and IOU it. But anyway, lets just say that week old machine will make a minor loss of 3 quid (the cost for ripping the fuck out of it) Not bad eh?

'Darren' enters said bar;............ Kopperberg please, YES BUT CAN I SEE SOME ID FIRST?. Certainly sir, heres my driving licence. Ok what did you want?

Whaoooooo whao whao, hold on a minute. I recall you coming in with a passport aying you were born in 1990, whereas this (obviously) fake provisional licence is telling me that you were in fact born in late 1989, (surely, with that provisional being fake) my actual passport would clear his doubts (giving the exact date given on my provisional), but no, this guy approaches me in a threatening mannor OUT DA F*CK NOW YOU PIECE OF SH*T bla bla bla.

Anyone in belfast please feel free to pm me with regards to legally emptying Grand Blaster Cash.

Dodgy managers 3/10.

we were once in a pub accused of re orbiting a satelite with our mobile phones to beam down the codes to empty the bandit ,

i meeeenn come onnnnnnnn ffs

tried explaining that it would proberly cost millions to reposition a satelite but to no avail ,, she was convinced we had got it outside hovering over her pub, hmmmm

the stupidity of some muppets is bewildering

if i had met this champion of turnips under dif circumstances im sure i could have sold her london bridge

That wouldn't be Lichfield by any chance would it?

And your the the kind of total prick player I dislike, It's a pub!! their business is to sell alcohol, You take the piss and buy the cheapest drink then nail the machine & they have every right to take the piss out of you the next time you come in.

If they dont want to sell a certain drink dont sell it! I dont actually buy silly drinks in out of town pubs, that would just be silly.

My comment about the guy is to point out he is clearly a donut who just wants to look clever infront of his alchoholic regulars. If I put money in a machine and it got turned off on me I'd make sure I left the pub with my credit money.

Just because they own a pub, they can steal your money?

He didn't steal anything. He switched it off before he got on it.
It's not a silly drink, Every week I have Blackurant & soda water for my 1st drink after I've played football (Price of coke is just a rip off), and when I go in a pub out the way that I don't think i'll be going back to for a while then I do sometimes have a cheap drink but when it's a pub your doing reguarly & taking proper money out the m/c £50+ you gotta do your best and blend in like a normal punter.
Taking the piss and constantly buying the cheapest drink your just asking for trouble.

At least you lot are buying drinks, went to do a wiyb when 2 idiots in front of me at the bar asked for tap water then walked straight over to the machine and started playing, at 1st i thought no way!!! they must be staff but was shocked when they were doing it, that is disgusting.

I think there ia a time and a place for the correct drink i have been barred from 2 pubs in 5yrs and one of them was coz my mate got caught keying a machine (not an extreme)
