Product Description
Product Description
"Time for a bit of scum bag cleansing." In this eye-opener of a book, the author records the "more unusual and violent incidents" in his career as a bouncer. It may shock you to realise exactly the risks that bouncers take on the doors of night clubs and pubs, and even at private functions. If the bouncer is to "show no fear", he must build up strong mental and physical toughness through disciplined training. The author gets plenty of opportunities to try out the techniques he learns in the gym, whether it's a stranglehold or a right hook. If you have a run-in with some "weekend warriors", words are simply not enough to deal with it. But this is not a disheartening story of mindless aggression. Some incidents are really funny, and the author's colourful language and wry humour help soften the blows when they come. Read this book, and next time you'll spare a thought for the bouncer who takes the crap so you don't have to.

This book is a classic and makes you really feel like your there and feeling what he is feeling at the time. A book that is described from the heart and really puts into perspective what these guys go through and how they put there lives on the line every week for the safety of us.
I recommend this book to anyone who wants an insight to the real world of bouncers and what they have to endure every week and how they overcome certain situations. A great read and will keep my eye out for any other Bill Carson books.

This little book is packed with scary scenarios that could have come from The Krays era, you dont realise how tough it can be out there dealing with all the riff raff and hardnuts out to do evil. It is a brave man that stands up to this on a regular basis. Look no further if you want hard facts with no frills on the life of a Bouncer/Doorman.

Very poor
There are 101 decent bouncer books out there, and I'm afraid this isn't one of them.
It's only a hundred and odd pages, and has no real stories in it. Read more

GIVE THIS MAN A PRIZE
Well put, in the doorman vernacular. Who would want to work on pub and club doors, the pay is not commensurate with the risk, yet this man did. Read more
