how come the pubs are closing at 1am now

was in whiskys on xmas eve and we were chucked out before 1

I heard it is something to do with pubs with a late licence required to have registered doormen. Believe the costs of becoming regisitered is approx £400-£500 per person.

aha cheers. also picked up on it in the courier today

are there still tickets available for the stone roses gig in the vic

[scotty]

Yes picked mine up today from Whisky Macs

Craig confirmed yesterday there are still tickets left. He also added that it is licenced to 2am as RockSteady are present.

Sad to see the pubs being restricted to 1am due to doormen requiring licences now. For pubs like Whisky Macs this must make a massive dent in their takings over the festive period.

Happy New Year everyone!

Home for a few more days and was just wandering if there is anything on out and about or is everyone still recovering from their hangovers?

All the best for 2008

Someone was at the bar buying 8 doubles to pour into 2 pints of coke to save them from going up again

needless to say the busy bar didnt bother me too much

It was shocking, spending £25 and getting that service. We waited about 35mins for our 1st drink, then they shut the bar! Glad I had that half bottle sitting in the car that I went out and got!

I know quite a few folk just ended going back to the Burnside after only being in for an hour.

If the organisers didnt want to spend more money on having a second bar there, (what I heard) they shouldve at least let folk take in carryoots properly.
