Ha-ha! Like it! I'm sure others have disguised themselves to get into a pub they have previously been barred from? There is one that I don't have to bother, as the senile old git forgets he's barred me every time I go in. Heh-heh...

ive sat in a pub all day for 3 days and got wrecked with the locals, really bad pub for barrings, everyone i know thats ever gone in has been barred, full of old blokes, no youngsters or non-regulars, i spent 2 days in there drinking, i bought rounds and insisted everyone do shots of rum and whiskey with me, when i was hammered the barman was asking why i was getting so drunk, an i told him my wife had left me for another bloke..and this was the only pub in town i could be sure they wouldnt come in, which worked a charm.. he even bought me another double whiskey!!

spent £100 over the bar in two days, just to get my face known..

didnt even look at the machine, although it was flickering at me and every coin anyone put in it was bouncing down to the floor and landing on what sounded like £10,000 in £1's

on the third day as soon as the young barmaid was working and the landlord went out somewhere.. i hammered the fuck out of the snake'rattle&roll and sat down for another drink.. it was a notey, which i laughed about, as i hadnt realised till i stood up to play it..

then each week id pop in to say hi to the regulars,same time when the girl was working, i even hit the machine when the landlord was there a couple of times, i got about 10 or 12 hits off that unit before it was chipped, and anyone who bought a half or a coke and tried to play it got barred and turfed out on the spot...

i got a right bollocking from the missus, "i know you have a few drinks when you're out, but you stink of spirits and you aint coming in the house with sick on your shoes" lol

That's dedication, undercover playing.

Many years ago two guys I know went into a pub to do a Superpots. The only trouble was that it was a gay bar. The less uglier of the two got chatted up twice in the space of 10 minutes. In the end they had to stand there holding hands to stop people from coming onto them.

That's what you call dedication...

When it boxes were worth playing I unwittingly strayed into a big gay bar in central London to wander out and bump straight into a colleague one lunchtime (he wasn't on his way in). What do you say - hi mate I've got something to tell you

A I spend all of my spare time hanging round bars playing coin operated amusements

B I really do have something to tell you

I suspect that the second option is much mote tolerable in the modern employment world.

Isty (and not casting aspersions) will know the place I mean.

yikes :shock:
i guess you mean the retro bar behind the strand. i went in there with my (gay female) cousin last week and it seemed very couply. the only other time i've been in for a drink was with six (straight female) workmates and a drag queen from the royal opera house. fortunately, as Londoners we are in a position to be fussy. mind you, that gay bar off carnaby street is fine, i don't feel awkward playing in there (unless i have to wince through one of their pints). i often walk through soho but wouldn't walk under a rainbow to get to a machine.
nobody ever wins on those things.
