A pub, once. Smashed a light fitting when bladdered.

Also being gay stopped me from being chucked out of the Huddersfield Uni Student Union once.

I was visiting a mate who was studying there & got involved in a frank & open exchange of opinions with a guy with long hair over him hogging the pool table when our money was clearly down already. I ended the conversation by inviting him to "Go forth & fornicate" & described him as a "long-haired poof".

**** went & reported me to the bouncers, two of whom came over to say they'd had a report of homophobic abuse, so I said (in my poshest, most southern voice) "Look, I'm terribly sorry but I'm gay myself so I think there's been some awful misunderstanding..."

Did the trick, anyway; bouncer even apologised to me.
