Barrings, brawls and banter!

Post by sir ratholer »

Well, let's hear your best ones.

Never been in a machine related fight before, though I've been dragged physically out of a pub over an unchipped vamp! And had a group start on us in a pub with a lucky Lep and a smash but walked away unscathed. One thing that surprises me in this game is there aren't more violent incidents with pub staff.

When I got barred from a lep gold which we had a session on at the fruit chat meet a few weeks after, she plugged it when i was 40 into it, bitch. I wished her good luck with her bankruptcy as it's been for sale for ages! I remember a pub where we were clearly on our last hit, the barman said alright lads, suppose your gonna take 50 quid out today, to which we said no, 75, and we did right in front of his face!

There was a pub In horsham which I remember well too, the tanners arms. It had a dosh and pecks, I'd had a few hits so I sent my brother in whilst I was in the car. He was the only customer, done it, got barred and got in a row with the owner after he said, barring your only customer, that's bright, I give you 3 months and you'll be another statistic!

Well some time ago I and a 'friend' ventured into Southern Wales. Stopping at a few pubs as you do. Well there wasn't all that much a 35 panther and that was about it. Anyways we checked a few more pubs and noticed that the machines were all turned off, this is maybe in about 3 places. 

Thinking not a lot of it (the welsh are strange) we continued on... When all of a sudden we noticed a police car down a lay by. Yet again paid little attention to this. 

Further down the road is closed with police cars and coppers blocking the entire road. 

We get asked to step out the car promptly and are cuffed. The search begins... They search the whole car looking for a 'device'. 

I'm taken to one side for questioning. They ask the same questions about 10 times. 

Why are you in Wales?
Where's this device you have fiddled the machines with?
If you tell us now then the punishment will be less harsh. 

My friend had a Lowe and fletcher, which amazingly went unnoticed. 

By this time they had my trousers down and the rubber gloves were out. You would think we were in possession of £90k worth of drugs or something?

Anyways the episode ended by them telling us "your lucky lads we didn't find anything this time. Don't fucking come back to Wales, stay in fucking Liverpool". 

I was completely amazed. Ever since that day I think very little of Wales and police in general. 

I've never felt so intimidated in my life, spoken to and treated like scum. Wouldn't mind but we maybe had £300 each and a few coins?


Another shocker recently was with my best mate. He had a £70 off a Dig it in a club, only to be followed away from the machine by the bouncers, given a pasting and thrown face down out the door. 

Not a good situation :(

My friend paul was on top of this pub about a year ago it had an alien and hi lo. It didn't take long for the women to notice his same face this resulted in being barred , they then got changed to some crap fruits. Recently there is a now a dig it and esb same pub! I'm sure he went in cuple of times times. The lady then noticed his face again and said something along the lines of 'I'm sorry but your barred because you are legitly robbing the machines, your 1 step ahead of us'.. Shame about being barred but surely that's a compliment???

A couple more, well the pub where I got searched by the police 2 weeks ago has now got rid of their Hilo apparently.

For a dig it!

The star in lingfield a good few years ago had a fireball and 6 shooter at the same time, had some great hits. I eventually
got barred, so sent pinstripe Dave, who I was working with at the time, in for it whilst i did a wombat down the road.

Done the wombat, and drove down to pick him up to see him running down the road in pitch black being chased! I asked him what happened and he said the guy tried to plug the 6 shooter when he was on the top and he knocked him out, collected as much money as he could and ran!

playing a king ko in a pub ages and ages ago, it wouldnt let me get the skill feature for ages, it wasnt even a notechanger and was going to be a massive loss even if id managed a few jp's, anyway the barman comes over and says to finish and leave.. this was about 6pm.. i asked him why and he said that to teach me a lesson he'd left if off since last time id come in and turned it on as id walked in the door, it had been filled up inbetween and i hadnt been able to tell..

he was proper laughing in my face, i was fine with this, till he pushed me, i started shouting what the fuck are you playing at? he backed off a bit but was a bit threatening... he said to me something along the lines that he plays the machine and after me once he lost loads so was getting me back,
i thought he was the actual landlord, but he'd let slip that he wasnt, my reply to this was that i would simply tell his boss,
by the time he'd finished saying "ive turned the cameras off so what he cant see wont hurt him" id flipped a stool over and pulled the machine over onto it-which had quite a funny result.

obviously ive never been back since, but a mate has, and they no longer have a fruity.. and i think the guy probably got sacked.

That's a rough pub mate. Thankfully there's not been a playable in there for yonks.

The Spinnaker pub also has a prick of a landlord, he'll bar anyone that wins. Had him and a few of his goons follow me out after the third time i went in for a monop, the Cunt plugged it when I prised in an IM.

Never had serious trouble, old bill called a few times and been asked to leave on many occasions but nothing physical.

Normally manage to talk my way out of barrings rather than kick off.

THE STAR plumstead common.

i was playing the machine as i do on every saturday and i heard,
"oi mate u better hurry up before i turn it off"
from a local.
i tried to talk all nicely and looked like a pussy to try and not get barred and try to get time on the machine and basicly i had about 8 45 - 60 year olds sitting at the bar telling me that im a scammer and that i scam the machine and its for locals only.
i told them that every time i win i put £2 in the blind box and give the bar staff £10 to get a drink and that i couldnt see the problem.
they kept chatting shit and it deffo looked like i was getting barred so i switched.
i took off my coat and glasses (playing disguise) and put them on the bar then dared any one of them to try and urn the machine off, i was asked to leave, so i said "which one of you old cunts are gonna make me?"
i told them that i will do as i like and if any of them has anything to say i would kick the shit out of them all, they all stayed seated and didnt say a word whilst i collected what i had in the machine.
then as i turned to walk out of the door i noticed that i had a whole pint of beer and a j20 in a glass with the bottle next to it.
i said "dont i get a fucking refund for the drinks then????" and they just looked at me so i gave all the drinks a spinning kick straight off the bar and they smashed all over the gaff and scared the shit out of them all.

this was last about a week ago,
theres 2 reds in there, a cash or bust and a hi lo silver and they allways go off less than £20ish in.
if you go in, ask about the tall bloke that scams the machines lol.
theres a can u dig it in the lord herbert down the road on herbert rd but no more playables in the area :/
condoms... ribbed for her pleasure! turn it inside out and its ribbed for my pleasure :)

This is what i don't get.

You'd think people of the size of me and you would get no grief at all. But we do. I don't know where these people get their balls from, it really confuses me!
