[ED – Maybe the bouncers can just tell who’s likely to go home and cry to mummy? Anyway, waving this one through for entertainment value as much as anything else]

What goes on at this joint?? I have an 18 year old daughter who unfortunately, ocassionally goes into civic to clubs etc. Tonight she came home fairly perplexed as to the treatment of the heroes that stand on doors at this MOOSEHEADS. Quite clearly they pick & choose as to who goes in & out. What I ask are the requirements ? How tarty you can look. how short the dress?? Is there any kind of control on what they do??

Twice now, she has first time been knocked back & sent to the back of the line. For What??? Does she look like a trouble maker?(I doubt it…).

Or, is she simply not the taste of the wackers they place on the doors of GOOSEHEADS!!

I say don’t frequent the place. It’s clearly about time that these so called “bouncers” had a governing body.!!

Big power play for boofheads with egos way too large. Look at me, I can send you all the way back, but if my mates are in line come on in. Have a look at yourselves boys (nothing special at all)..

No wonder trouble happens in civic, this kind of rubbish does not help at all.

Time MOOSEHEADS took a look at their staff..

As a 19 year old male, I must insist that Mooseheads is most certainly not renowned for it’s exclusivity. The only reason your daughter wasn’t allowed in is because she was either too pissed to walk properly or she was acting like a twat. I’ve seen some really obese and ugly people in Mooseheads so if it’s not one of the two reasons I’ve stated she must be really excel in the ugly department. Sorry but that’s the truth. On a side note, I’d like to state that I in no way think the place is cool.

I simply don’t know what to say

AGREE!

You should be happy your daughter came home at all and that you didn’t receive a distress call from her because some asshole slipped her a rohy and she had no idea where she was or what happened.

Haven’t you heard the saying ‘get loose at the moose’. Oh how true this comments be! Girls and guys really only go there to get laid as its 100% guaranteed as long as you have little to no standards.

And I bet you think your daughter is still a virgin too?

If she is telling the truth, which i highly doubt and being an 18yr old girl once myself id be willing to bet my next month salary she wasn’t 100% truthful (im giving her credit here). Then it was as everyone else has previously said, she probably cut in line, was rude and obnoxious, drunk and disorderly or munted and dribbling, probably picked a fight or two and/or dressed inappropriately.

Brilliant Tunes at Gypsy Bar, $9 Jugs at South Packers, $1 shots at Liquid Lounge, absolutely anything you want from Heaven..

3 blokes sitting around having a drink.

1st one says: I remember the day when I used to go to the Private Bin and got two for one drinks.
2nd one says: bugger that jolly jugs at Pandoras – you’d get well pissed for under ten bucks.
Ozziechez says: That’s got nothing on the Moose now. Drink all night for free and then go out the back alley for sex with as many people as you want.
1st one: Damn when was the last time you went there.
Ozziechez: Oh, I’ve never been but my daughter tells me about it.

This post is hilarious! For starters Moose isnt a classy joint, then again nowhere in civic is. Then again, I’m over the age of 21 so maybe I’m just too mature for it now. However, I can still remember the old days of rocking up to moose, absolutely off my chops, and being let in no worries. Only twice in all the years frequenting that place (read: being dragged there by females) have I had any trouble getting in. The first time I had been drinking for 14 hours and could hardly walk, but managed to get in claiming that I was mentally deficient, and the second was due to some foul language on a t-shirt. I think Chez (I really hope your daughters name is Kylie, or Charlene or something) needs to take a chill pill and stop reacting to her daughter.

On a side note – I see nothing wrong with picking your child up from the clubs. It means they aren’t standing around waiting with a bunch of drunks, keen to pick up or start a fight. I know that if I had children, I’d feel a lot safer driving them home myself. Also, I have friends in their early 20’s who still get their parents to drive them home…

An acceptance speech for Flame Of The Week (take note ozziechez) deserves a special golf clap. Good to see your tracksuit is flame-retardant.

And since no-one else is going explain to you, ED is the common abbreviation of Editor. Johnboy is his name, ED is his game.

Havent been there in a few years, but this is about the only way in which I have ever seen someone get denied at Moose.

And even if it did happen as daughter is telling it, why the hell would she line up again? Was she planning on hiking her skirt up and pulling her top down a bit for the next time she got to the front?

Spideydog – I was denied entry, sober, clean and definitely female. Nowhere near fat and had just arrived, except to finish my smoke standing away from people and the door without going away. The drunk and loud girlfriends of mine, got straight in. I just should’ve acted the part.

Anyhow, it’s all a bit like complaining about Macca’s. I don’t give a toss, it’s a crap place anyhow. I just go elsewhere and leave it to the bogues.

Why would they let in a designated driver? They aren’t going to buy any drinks….

Classy work Ozziechez …..

I don’t know what would be more embarrassing …

1. wanting to get into mooseheads

2. being rejected by mooseheads

or

3. mother re-living her lost youth through her daughter and venting righteous anger on RiotACT …

Definite winnah!

As MR ED can tell you, I posted this blog at 5.00am Sunday morning. Having confirmed that my daughter & her friends were to be driven home by a designated driver. I pick her up, to avoid the infamous cab line up. Yep! (Pretty Irresponsible Parent). Thoroughly Smashed, Are you some kind of Stalker?? (Peering through windows???). Johnboy, As far as ED (Would you Bother???). I do however appreciate your comments as they had merit, which is more than I can say for Alan Shore, who is probably 101 not out & still getting drunk at the footy, fancy the gall, asking whats wrong with my daughter?? BD84 Who are you to judge?? Georgesgenitals (Who calls themselves this username??). Pretty much says it all!! Jim Jones, Pandy, Wanon Thumper & Jasere, Such Super Intelligent comments! (NOT). To all the whaaambulance callers you will understand, waaaankers…

Holy crap! You’re absolutely right!

Of course your daughter (who was sober, well dressed and behaving exceptionally) must have been treated completely unfairly by the nasty bouncers, who were clearly picking on her because of the aforementioned qualities.

Also, you must be parent of the year, what with getting out of bed to pick up your adult child in the early hours, despite there being a designated driver, so Poor Darling didn’t have to wait for a taxi. As we all know, people who are sober, well dressed and behaving exceptionally should never have to wait in a queue!

Also, my sincerest apologies for choosing a username you don’t like, I’ll be sure to change it immediately.

Can we have this added to the Bill of Rights: “No one – no matter their colour, creed, race, intoxication or religious beliefs – shall be denied entry to that hallowed establishment of moderation, style, intelligence and peaceful co-existance: Mooseheads”.

In my experience, if you yell “Hey youse f%@#in’ c#*!s, let us in, or me and me mates will glass youse all” from somewhere down the back of the queue, it usually upsets the bouncers enough that they won’t let you in once you get to the front of the queue….

Bah hahahahahaha …… this sure is a funny thread 😉

Many moons ago, I was denied entry to a club because my shoes were inappropriate (closed toe leather dress shoes) moral of the story ….. sometimes bouncers just don’t like you !!!!

I must admit, a chick being denied entry ??? NEVER seen that before.

Oh the humanity of not being let in to Mooseheads. Obviously your daughter is all class – being denied entry to the cess pit. Tell her to try Sultans next time.

People get denied entry all the time – violent behaviour, drunk, vomit on your dress, couldn’t pay the cover charge, tried to dodge the cover charge, foul mouth, and inappropriatly dressed – just to name a few.

OP, I’d like to introduce you to this thing called having a life

“Georgesgenitals (Who calls themselves this username??)”

Probably Georgesgenitals, being as your name must be Ozziechez. Do you have the Southern Cross tattooed anywhere? I’m guessing you do. If the mark of the beast is 666 somewhere surely the Southern Cross is the mark of the bogan

“Pommy Bastard alias (Serious CRETAN)”

PB, you know you have seriously pissed someone off when they think Pommy Bastard isn’t a good enough moniker.

ozziechez, the bouncers at Mooseheads aren’t known for their class or intellect, so rejection by them is a badge of honour. Would you want them to be thinking to themselves ‘yeah, this chick looks like a real goer’?

Mooseheads itself isn’t a place I would want my daughter to be at 18. Surely, even though you felt sorry for your daughter , you were inwardly breathing a sigh of relief?

PB – It’s a shoo-in for FOTW.

Unstructured, sub-literate rant? Check.
Poorly thought out attacks on regular posters? Check.
Obvious taking of umbridge at anything but fawning sympathy to unsympathetic rant? Check.

We have a winnah!

Thanks so much for letting this one through mod JB. I haven’t had a giggle like that for a while.

Serious? Hardly! More of a falderal in fact, hence the footnote to my post.

“Cretan”, now would that be a new term for someone able to spell “cretin”? And why the strange use of brackets?

The rest of your missive is a certain contender for “flame of the week.”

Thoroughly Smashed6:04 pm 07 Jun 10

Only 6/10 as a meltdown (not enough poorly spelled insults), but 7/10 for the non sequiturs. Decent enough show overall.

Ummmmmmm, what? Did you make sure your daughter was dropped home by a designated driver, or did you pick her up? You imply you did both.

It sounds more like your little daughter is a spoilt brat, evidently making her mother wake up at a ridiculous time of night just to avoid the “infamous cab line” (which really is not so ‘infamous’), then bitching to said mother when her little brat ways aren’t tollerated even at Mooseheads.

I’m thinking Veruca Salt, but a bit older with a pink/purple Cruiser (or two if it’s a wild night!) inside her: http://bit.ly/3RUL5

No they dont. While on the subject of gays the op should tell her daughter (if it really is her daughter) to go to Cube next time. They let all sorts in. So ive heard.

ozziechez more like ozzietrollz

well played

Alcohol is drunk, loud music is played, kids do something they call dancing but is basically synchronised groping, and when eagle rock plays everyone takes off their pants. Did I miss anything?

dare i say a real good chance of flame of the week (and we haven’t had a quality one in ages!) when ozziechez comes back and reads all these comments. i’ll be popping back in throughout the day to check it out.

I’ve been denied entrance (mind you it’s only to get a drink on a Monday when everything else is shut and Phoenix has a massive line-up), I bring it down to race.

Everyone knows when most girls go out they talk really annoyingly and loudly, your daughter would have pissed the bouncers off. Whether or not she was drunk is irrelevant, loudness is a good sign someone is intoxicated.

I agree with vg.

She was probably dressed really slutty and tried jumping the queue and the bouncer noticed and sent her to the back.

Either that or she was lying, because we all know how shamefull it is to be known to visit Mooseheads…

People don’t really get refused entry to Mooseheads.

If your daugther looked like Leggett, she would get in. Otherwise she is an epic lulz.

Ummm…let’s get this straight. You are outraged because your 18 year old daughter wasn’t allowed into one of the skankiest clubs in Canberra ?

Why ?

2 issues for the OP

Firstly you unequivocally believe the word of your 18yo daughter standing in the queue of a nightclub. Kids on the piss lie

Lesson number 2. Their house, their rules. They can let in who they like and they don’t need an excuse either way.

Doea anyone have the number for the whambulance?

Well summed up. Further to point 1, they wouldn’t deny entry for no reason – they’re a business who will try to maximise revenue, which they do by selling grog.

vg said :

I’m pretty sure that the OP’s daughter is actually a waaaambulance driver.

Since when did any parent give a stuff about which nightclub their daughter was or was not admitted entry to? I would think that most parents would be happy if they were declined entry. Anyway, the only possible reasons for declining entry might be if she was smashed off her face already or wearing unsuitable clothing ie trakkies and thongs. A good guess would point to the first reason, otherwise she’s a liar.

Actually, I always thought getting refused entry to Mooseheads was a badge of honour …

At 20, I should know all about the clubbing scene. Sadly being a boring intellectual, I instead rely on what others tell me. Based on what they say, you would need to be a sucker for punishment. “The drinks are too expensive”, “There’s so many creeps”, ‘I woke up at 2am and didn’t know where I was”. Infact despite girls saying what a terrible time they had, they express relief that they were still able to get “so trashed”. I guess that’s what its all about.

I’m considering to go there just the once to see for myself. But dressing like a lad and having my face re-arranged is not my idea of a good time.

Is this a gee up? I’ve never known anyone denied at Moose. Never. Sounds more like ICBM.

Grand Final Day 2008, I was so drunk I fell (jumped) down the steps outside the Canberra Labor Club and landed on my face. Blood everywhere, broken spectacles, clearly concussed as well as intoxicated beyond rationality. No joy getting into Phoenix or Shooters. “You need to clean yourself up, mate.” “Can I go inside and clean myself up?” “Nup.”

But a short walk around the corner, queue up for a while at the Moose: not so much as an ID check before being waved through.

The question, then, is: ozziechez, what on earth is wrong with your daughter?

Best post ever 🙂

lol you should send them a bunch of flowers or something, as your daughter probably would have ended up passed out and felt up by some rat-faced army jerk. mooseheads is a hole. also you might be interested to know its nickname is “four floors of whores.”

Ed your a jerk maybe your one of them?? Pretty much same mentality!

Actually ozziechez I was trying to allude to something a bit deeper.

Going out clubbing in civic is a moderately dangerous and quite expensive thing to do.

It’s not for kids.

If your daughter can’t/won’t fit the look to get in then the bouncers might well be doing both of you a favour. This is mooseheads we’re talking about, they let me in on the rare occasions I darken its door.

The best way to react to rude door staff is to go somewhere else and spend a lot of money.

If she’s really struggling to deal with the door, and absolutely positively must get in then if she and her friends should turn up at 8pm. They’ll be welcomed in with open arms and given the run of the place.

But I’d advise going some place else. If she just wants to boogy then Monkey Bar is a better, and classier bet in Civic than the moose.

I’d advise you to contact a human rights lawyer immediately and take out an injunction against the place. Also contact Simon Corbell, and demand an investigation, a judicial review, and new legislation. It may also be worth you getting Amnesty on your side as well as Greenpeace. Do you have any Aboriginal in your family genes? If so, you’re on a winner here.

On the other hand you could look up; “good parenting skills”, “taste”, and “tacky, overpriced, unexciting, Canberra venues” on the net.

gun street girl11:40 am 06 Jun 10

The bouncers did your daughter a huge favour. I’d be thanking them if I were you.

I agree with the above comments – I think there’s better things she could do with her time than waste it there.

ossiechez, don’t despair. This is a positive!

They only let trashy looking skanks into that place.

Clearly, your daughter does not fall into that category.

I can understand she would be feeling down about their decision, but do try to convince her that she’s better than that disgusting dump.

If you want your daughter to be raped or your son to be bashed then send them to the Moose, how proud parents must be that their children have become bouncers at this establishment.

If the Police did a raid the way they do in Sydney at Mooseheads then it might actually shut down for good or their act might have to clean up.

As a youth buying drugs/alcohol was difficult, all i would have to do is go to the Moose and all my problems would have been solved. Nice to see things have not changed at all.

A club has the right to refuse entry to any person or persons that they wish. It’s not a public area.

+1 what mr evil said. ozziechez, you should be very very glad that your daughter has been refused entry – that place is a sleazepit!!

i walked past mooseheads last night en route to the taxi rank after having been out for dinner and was astounded to see the line go right around the corner. goes to show there is no accounting for taste.

Now she knows how those humanitarians felt when their ships were diverted on their way to Gaza!

Trust me, your daughter is better off not going into Looseheads – unless she is partial to having every Tom, Antonio and Slobodan grope her at every opportunity. The place just ain’t that good; and really, it is a pity they ever rebuilt the place after it burnt down.

Tell her not to worry, the emotional scars of being barred from entering the Moose heal with time.
