Should we boycott the Dev Cat in support of Robbie Lovin? I know he's a pratt of the highest order but he's a harmless pratt.

I vote we boycott the Dev Cat until they welcome RL back with open arms. :rant:

What`s been happening? Care to enlighten me.

......but he thought it was funny and doesn't really give a s***e.

......but he thought it was funny and doesn't really give a s***e.

I know what he says, but RL is a very fragile person who is easily hurt, so I think we should show solidarity with him.

BOYCOTT THE DEV CAT

What did he do

He was shouting his head off, swearing and carrying on and generally being what a lot of people considered offensive.

I was sat next to him last night and to be honest I felt more than a little intimidated by his actions and language but didn't dare say anything cos he's bigger than me and I didn't want to end up on the business end of a smack in the face.

More information required owdlad. What's been happening with Robbie_Lovin at the DevCat?

The forum mah jong club meets at the DevCat on a weekly basis. I think we should be told!

As I have never been to the Dev Cat in my life, I am more then happy to boycott it, for any reason.:hihi:

I don't think the words "your barred" came into the conversation. Dev Cat would close without us on a sunday.

I know what he says, but RL is a very fragile person who is easily hurt, so I think we should show solidarity with him.

BOYCOTT THE DEV CAT

I know what he's like that's why I find myself sticking up for him all the time while other people are putting him down.

well i have to say im shocked!!

im sure most of us have had a little too much to drink and got a little loud and done things in the dev cat that we would rarther forget!

robbie is actually a nice lad and yes he can be a little boyish E.I loud a little rude now and again

im not sure about boycoting the dev cat sometimes its the only social interaction i get :hihi:

dont be too hard on robbie he was just being well robbie:D and im sure he is sorry after a sleep and a chance to think about what happend

I think you ought to hear it from RL himself Robbo, after all he is the injured party, and as for Rich's comments, I was with Robbie, Spyro and a few more people for most of the afternoon and none of them were either loud or being objectionable, and I have seen far worse language used by Rich on this forum. eg FFS.

See my post above yours for an explanation of what went on, I actually left early last night as I was upset by what had happened and didn't feel like staying there.

Thanks Dibsy, you sound a really nice person.;)

Thought you were Mr Karate?

As far as I know if Robbie got himself banned that's his short comings.
No offence robbie and I'm sure you're an alright bloke but everyone needs to learn their lesson at some point and I'm certainly not going to stop going in Dev Cat (I like there beer) because someone got barred by their own doings.

If he appologised to the venue I'm sure they'd be reasonable and let him back in.

Thanks Dibsy, you sound a really nice person.;)

I spoke to him this morning about it and he seemed fine about what had gone on last night and I know he can put up a front with people but he's lovely deep down.

Thanks owdlad, I believe in giving everyone a chance.

:o :o i say ffs! :hihi:

Sorry Katy. :blush: :cry: :shakes:

The deep down part is the one you have to watch out for Dibsy ;)

I do do Karate, but we are always taught not to use it unless we absolutely have to, and even then only as a VERY last resort.

I'm on the look out owdlad :thumbsup:

Sorry Katy. :blush: :cry: :shakes:


ok ok ill let you off this once now stop crying ffs!! opsss:hihi: :P


*backs away slowly and goes to finish the ironing

I haven't been and stayed at the Dev Cat meets for a few months now so I guess in my own I have boycotted em' :hihi:

soz didn't realise you went in last night.......

Oh dear, I didn`t go last night, and I miss all the fun ...... :mad:

I am sure they will let him back i, after all we keep them in jobs with the Sunday takings and the Mahjong nights as well

Why boycott the Dev Cat if someone through their own behaviour and actions got themselves barred (and that's jumping to the conclusion that anyone was barred in this case!) Also if you are obnoxious enough to have the police called by the barstaff then I think it's difficult to be described as 'the injured party'!!!

I was there last night, but I look to normal to be mixing with some of them. :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

Does that mean u look like a geek or they look like nutters?;) Missed it yesterday and I'm really regretting it!

I was sat next to him last night and to be honest I felt more than a little intimidated by his actions and language but didn't dare say anything cos he's bigger than me and I didn't want to end up on the business end of a smack in the face.

Robbie was a bit loud but he's not a violent guy, I don't think you need to worry about him smacking you. But if he was upsetting you, why did you sit next to him? We had several tables - you could have easily moved - like a few other people did.

They probably didn't recognise him without the Netto bag over his head :D :P

Rich just enjoys playing the drama queen bit. :D

soz didn't realise you went in last night.......

I was talking about Spyro and Robbie :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

it looks like the dev cat thread in notices has been pulled... so, I'll have to post this in here.

I was there... and robbie had, by this time got a little erm.... how do they phrase it in the papers when a celeb gets in that state? " tired and emotional". There was, tbh, a fair bit of "shoutage" going on from rob...

he had upset the barmaid so much, with his comments, that she would not come over to the area we all were in to collect glasses.

The main fella behind the bar had asked robbie not to be so rowdy, at least a couple of times, and to keep it down a bit. which robbie didn't do, so he said that he's be asked to leave and/ or backup would be called.

I tried to make a bit of joke of it with the young barmaid who had been upseet by robbie's remarks. I said,to her, "look, don't let it faze you! he's like this with everyone, *chuckle* - His pickup line is 'You're my type of woman...' 'what? brunette?' 'no, breathing!' !!"

Unfortunately, she had been so upset by what had gone on, and she failed to find a funny side, in either robbie's behaviour, or in my joke.

Now, I go in the dev a lot, as my "local" for forum meets and mah-jong, as well as socially, outside the forum. the staff there are very good, helpful, and pleasant, as well as being knowlegeable about the beers there. I don't think that the barmaid would have "raised hummer" about this incident had it not been somethng that affected her.

PT

people people people, i dont see what the fusss is al about, i bumped in to kirky on dinner today and we had a good laugh about it, its not that bad at all and i think people make more out of it than actually there is.

He was shouting his head off, swearing and carrying on and generally being what a lot of people considered offensive.

I was sat next to him last night and to be honest I felt more than a little intimidated by his actions and language but didn't dare say anything cos he's bigger than me and I didn't want to end up on the business end of a smack in the face.

come on rich, don't even give it that, i tried talking to you last night as you never talk to anybody really.

how was i offensive to you in particular?

sorry if my language was bad last night, it happens when i get drunk. but to say i could even hit you is out of this world,

If he appologised to the venue I'm sure they'd be reasonable and let him back in.

just before i was leaving i went to speak to the person who claimed to be the landlord, you know to say i had no hard feelings about whating me out etc, and that i was off, but he would not have any of it. but thats his perogative.

themselves barred (and that's jumping to the conclusion that anyone was barred in this case!)

well when somebody says to you "you're barred" i think that substantiates the claims i am in fact barred.

but to cap all this off, who really cares?? even if i was never to go again it wouldnt bother anyone so its unimportant.

to be fair i thought it was harsh to ask me to leave, perhaps i did deserve it though. but if thats the case then i should be banned from every bar/club in britain, and so should a lot of people

with regards to barmaid PT, i said nothing to offend her, perhaps i was quite raucous untoward her, but its nothing compared to previous barmaids at dev cat have not had. im not condoning my behaviour one bit, all im saying is, things could be a lot worse, its not like i insulted her, nor made any approach to her, i said maybe a few comments, but she just laughed them off, and had she said she was not comfortable with them, i would have apologised straight away. im not as bad a person as a lot will have you believe.

I think you are just putting a brave face on things Robbie, and as others on here have been saying you are just a caring person who is misunderstood. :|

I take on board what you are saying, robbie. some (maybe most ?) folks would have laughed it off, or taken it in good part, but some wouldn't.

however, the barmaid was quite young, and maybe she hadn't got the skills, self confidence, or maybe the life-experience to respond directly to you...?

the shouting could have been misinterpreted as agressive behaviour, and it's possible she could have been intimidated by that?

whilst taking on board your comments, if that is the worst she comes along being a barmaid then she will be very lucky.

as far as im concerned, i was not rude to her, or OTT to her, if she cant take that then she should not be a barmaid in the first place

She shouldn't have to go to work to get any sort of intimidating behaviour whether you find it offensive or not, which is something you're failing to grasp.

Maybe she doesn't have as much life experience to cope right now and given time she'll develop them (as we all have to start somewhere) but whether you're drunk or not is no excuse for making someone feel uncomfortable so take it on the chin and move on.

im not failing to grasp anything that i have not already.

had i known i had made her uncomfortable then i would have apologised as that was not my intention.

Well you obviously failed to grasp it otherwise a smart ass comment such as "well she shouldn't be a barmaid then" wouldn't have left your smallmind now would it!

see now we start with the insults dont we, really what is the point in doing so?

anyways what i say is correct, if she is easily offended which has proved to be the case, then she shouldn't be a barmaid, because fro time to time you are gonna get generally rowdy lads. but as i say, had i known i had offended i would have apologised.

surely you can understand with your great mighty knowledge, or is my "small mind" not coming across right?

No but your "quick wit" is obviously not quite on form tonight Robbie.
I think you're still not managing to see what I'm saying if you think I'm making an insult rather than an observation of what is clearly small minded and quite ignorant method of thinking on your part.

I'll say again, she's young as PT states and might not have the life experience as those of us who are older can see through. That doesn't mean she can't do a good job as a bar made. Clearly you were asked on a few occasions to tone it down but failed to do so. That shows irresponsibility with your drink robbie.

Again she doesn't come to work to get jeered at by rowdy lads, the Dev Cat is not that sort of venue to start with. Obviously some things aren't sinking in here robbie and maybe I'm talking to a brick wall who'll never learn but clearly you haven't got the life experience some in here give you credit for if you honestly believe what you're spouting off.

I won't take any sort of language towards me, or to any of the staff working with me. If they get offended because of something a customer has said, and they feel action needs to be taken then action will be taken.

I'm good at my job, but I won't take no s*** from nobody, nobody in any job should have to put up with swearing, or loud rowdy behaviour and neither should any customer nearby.

However, I wasn't there so I won't pass judgement on your particular situation.

it was not mentioned before i was asked to leave, that the barmaid felt uncomfortable. i was tottaly unaware of this. as ive said previously i dont condone my actions last night, but a lot of this is taking it all out of proportion. yes i may have been a bit rowdy, but it certainly was in no way threatening to any body at all. perhaps the way i am does not suit everyone, or in fact anyone, but i certainly never intent to make anyone feel uncomfortable.

you personally are jumping to conclusions from what other people have said. its understandable that you will because from what i believe, you used to own your own premises and was in fact a doorman, but like i say, you wasn't there. anyways, im gonna leave it at that, cause were going round in circles, no doubt you shall come out with something else. but to be honest your opinion on this matter counts for nothing as you did not witness what happened. not meaning that insultive or in a smart way, its just the truth

no bad language was made towards any member of staff, especially not to the girl involved.

agreed they have a job to do and should not be given any ****, i full agree with you, but to be honest it was banter.

My judgement is based on your comments nothing more, I don't need to be there to understand what you're trying to say, which has been pointed out to you is not the correct attitude to take.

Whether you feel my comments are worthless or not is not matter to me, at the end of the day you're old enough to know what's right.

Robbie, sometimes your banter just goes a bit too far. And the barmaid doesn't know you so its hard to take your comments as banter

I haven't met any of you at the Dev Cat as yet - or anywhere for that matter! (as far as i know...)

I haven't spoken to Robbie, nor do I know much about him. All I can say is that from his posts, and persona here on the forum - he seems, as Owdlad says, a genuinely decent person.
A lot of people have got out of hand after a few too many drinks. Infact, my best mate is one of the kindest, most generous and decent blokes you will ever meet - but give him even one too many pints and he's gone - ANYTHING can come out of his mouth.

As for swearing, I don't know many people whom don't swear in every day conversation. They are just words after all.

I haven't attended a Dev Cat meet (yet!), but I don't think one bad night is enough to justify a ban.

Robbie - Ive been there mate. Years ago, but I've been there. You aren't small minded in any way, infact, I respect a lot of what you say. Live and learn mate I guess!

He's a genuine guy Nate and he doesn't deserve all this flack.

He's apologised for what he did he can't do no more than that.

Nice to see that everbody doesn't judge him.

thank you for taking the time to actually think about what ive said.

like i say, i never intended any harm to be done. we all have jobs to do, so i wouldnt wanna make it any harder for her. but lets leave it at that.

i can take it on chin, as i have done. and as far as im concerned, i have been barred and is the landlords perogitive to gbar me. who am i to argue his decision.

anyways..... if you go to a meet at dev cat at least you wont have to hear this rowdy lad :hihi:

The way you have talked about the situation throughout this thread shows what kind of person you really are.

I take the time to read almost every new thread in this forum, and I don't like (what seem to be) good people being shot down. So, anytime mate.

I do read every thread in the general chit-chat part.
I'm not some tool that sits and reads a forum for 15 hours a day! :hihi:

I did say you 'seem' to be a genuinely decent person, for all I know you could be a chav! :hihi:

After what I said about having never met you....... turns out i think i have, once, briefly..... :suspect:

How long have u worked at dixons?!? I was a TL there for a bit and i definately recognise u :o

I vote we boycott the Dev Cat until they welcome RL back with open arms.

I'm with you, Owdlad. I certainly won't be visiting the Dev Cat anytime soon!:mad:


Based on what I've read so far, I don't blame the proprietor for kicking Robbie Lovin out temporarily. But the barkeep seems like a hard arse for not accepting RL's apology... He could have said, "You're welcome to come back when you're not drunk and loud." That seems reasonable to me.

Looks like I missed a good night! :roll:

i worked there 2 years, and finished about 2 years ago, so probably JUST overlapped. i think i saw u at the pool table once or twice...

Take no notice of him Nate, I agree that you can get a rough idea of what people are like...some are complete jerks which I've found that out for myself and some people are genuinely nice. Him being one of them.

I think you've misunderstood what Nate was saying, Robbie. The way I read it was that he was saying that you were a genuine person, and that he had read threads to which you had contributed and, from them, had formed this opinion. He wasn't having a go at you.

I've met you Robbie and, from what I saw, you just become over-expressive when you're drunk, but you weren't trying to be offensive. In fact, you were quite entertaining that evening.:wink: However, I can't speak for a young barmaid, who doesn't have a lot of experience. Some people can see banter for what it is straight away, but others need to get to know the person before they see it.

Just a suggestion, and I know that the bar manager wasn't interested at the time: how's about leaving things a couple of days to cool down, and then going to the Dev Cat and having a quiet word with the manager (and possibly the barmaid), to try to settle things.

i know what he was saying ann, i was just jesting with him. and i believe he knew that.

to be honest, dev cat has never been my kind of place, i like the idea that they sell proper ales, and i do like them, but it is a very pretentious pub and i would not normally go in on my own accord, its only cause forum meets are held there that i attended

Would anyone like to see my pm's from robbie to prove how nice he really is? :hihi:

and the PM's of dibs trying it on with me :hihi:

i know what he was saying ann, i was just jesting with him. and i believe he knew that.


I did :P

But thanks ann_x ;)

and the PM's of dibs trying it on with me :hihi:

Does everyone know just how much Robbie lies ? :hihi:

Sorry, but if someone acts like a drunken yob in a public place then sorry they deserve to be banned and the police called.

I dont know the full facts and I dont know whether Robbie has done wrong but if he has acted like a yob- then I think he deserves it.

If he hasnt done anything- then by all means, the Dev Cat should let him back in.

From a few run-ins on here with Rob, I have to say that he does sometimes go overboard :hihi: which I enjoy quite a lot.

Does everyone know just how much Robbie lies ? :hihi:

please see below

Hi sweetie,

just wanted to say how much ive missed you today whilst you was at work. i love you so much and i just cant wait for the day we can be together again. love you xxx

I'm not some tool that sits and reads a forum for 15 hours a day!



:o How could you call Joe a tool??

:hihi: Sorry Joe I'm only kidding!

You're extremely dead, I'm sure that editing someones posts means a ban, I'm calling the mods......you know I didn't write that. :hihi:

will a screen print do you :hihi:

ive never been to the dev cat

maybe next time im in sheff
if there isnt a boycott on :P

Been in a couple of times but never on a forum meet. I'm not known though so I'll be able to walk in without a worry, boycott or not. :D

On a side note- I bet the Dev Cat owners are crapping themselves about a boycott of their premises by the Forum elite :hihi:

Do we know what the owners think to the possible boycott?, I'd certainly like to hear their views on it.

bah, looks like he's a united fan to me, so what more of an excuse do they need:hihi: sorry, i'll get my coat

that was the main problem

they didnt like my united songs i was singing

"OH ADE ADE, ADE ADE ADE AKINBIYI"

for singing songs like that, i think an asbo should be placed on you:hihi: you cant step foot in any bar ever again:hihi:

sadly so...... ah well fingers crossed

On a side note- I bet the Dev Cat owners are crapping themselves about a boycott of their premises by the Forum elite :hihi:

I think John wont give a monkey arse about it

I have never been to one of these meets either, so I can't really pass judgement. But having read through this thread I have notice that it is only the people that weren't there that are giving Robbie a hard time. It seems that the majority of the people who were actually there feel that the landlord was slightly harsh with his reaction. Maybe this tells us something:)

I've never been but I know the owner and he's an OK guy, spot on imo

Yes, the landlord seemed harsh. I was there and didn't see any particularly outrageous behaviour and although I don't know the full story, Robbie was definitely being a bit lairy (but a lot of us have been after a few gins).

Unfortunately refusing to leave when asked is not a good idea, especially when the feds have been called. Fortunately he left before the police arrived, and they were quite friendly and gave the forummers a wave (and there was a good turn out). Hopefully the relationship between SF and the Dev Cat has not been effected. And no, there won't be a boycott (http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=93038). Not from me and many others anyway.

i love the word "feds" great word.

lets face it, i may have been out of order, end of, no need to boycott somewhere

I'll be boycotting it anyway :D .... go in and apologise on your own one afternoon Robbie and stick to shandies next time.... :thumbsup:

Robbie was a bit loud yes, but I didn't think the things I heard him say to the bar staff were offensive. Maybe he said other things that I didn't hear, I don't know.

What I do know is that, if the Devonshire Cat thought he was too drunk, they shouldn't have served him more beer.

I also think that if the bar manager cannot persuade one drunk person to leave the pub without calling the police, then he should consider employing door staff. I certainly feel, based on what I saw, that his reaction was over the top and the situation could have been handled a lot better. It is not the first time I have seen this member of staff get into a confrontation with a customer.

As for boycotting the Dev Cat, maybe we should. Not because of Robbie but we could find a pub that's a bit cheaper and stays open later than 10:30.

Sorry to learn that your little exhuberance has led to a pub ban Robbie_Lovin.

The forum mah jong club will continue to meet as usual at the DevCat.

And allows us to bring our fuzzy friends with us?

I've been boycotting the Dev Cat since I rang to ask if they allow dogs, but was informed that they scare the cat :suspect:

Maybe Mr _L will bring his cute lab pup to meet Brude? ;)

Let's be honest Strix, a busy city centre boozer is no place for a dog, and you have to have one rule and stick to it.

As for Robbie, I'm sure he's grown up enough to go say sorry when there's a quiet moment. Stuff happens (jeepers I wish I was a bit more perfect ;)) but the staff shouldn't have to deal with it under any circumstances, and he's said as much. It takes a bigger man to apologise than to boycott it . Go for it Robbie :)

I'm sure they are going to let him back in one Sunday. Just go in sober Robbie as part of a group and i'm sure everything will be forgotten.

But Robbie......... Your chat up line didn't work then :hihi: First time i've heard the bobbies called to a failed chat up line :hihi:

Let's be honest Strix, a busy city centre boozer is no place for a dog, and you have to have one rule and stick to it.

am i invited :hihi:

as for apologising, i tired making my peace with him before i left, not because that i thought i had done wrong, i still dont think how i was was that bad. but he obviously had reason to bar me, i went to apologize because i dont think it is fair rest of the forumers be tarred with same brush as me. he refused my apology so thats the end of that.

its like i say, its not my kinda place at all, o i wont be in attendance down there again.

:o Oh Robbie, what have you been up to? You were such a quiet demure lad when I met you !! :nono:

That'll be why PT says she's had her dog in there :roll:
So? Let's be honest Strix, a busy city centre boozer is no place for a dog, and you have to have one rule and stick to it.

Anyway, sounds like it won't be any loss to you Robbie ;)

Is That Why Robbie Got Booted Out????? :hihi:

:o No - why should a place be boycotted by the behaviour of one drunken bod? If someone manages to get themselves barred from a place - their fault and inconvenience...I got barred from a pub once - I didn't expect my mates to boycott it on account!!

Well I certainly won`t be boycotting the place ........ so see those there on Sunday better go hunt the thread down.

I don't pretend to know anything about what happened, or want to make any judgements, but.. Apologies when people are ****** don't mean very much, while making the effort to return when sober and apologise always has an impact.
No worries.. hope to see you at a future meet (when I finally go to one :)

I was half tempted to boycott the place after Sunday, not cos of what happened with Robbie L, but because of the useless jobsworths behind the bar, I had to ask twice for what I wanted cos the girl behind the bar couldn't understand me :loopy: I mean come on I don't talk that bad for christ sake!

Also, they had no real ale on all night :rant:

No real ale on all night????:confused: Blimey. Not much point going there at all then really.

This all sounds very interesting

There was a problem with the compressor, last night, which meant that certain of the pumps were not operational.

Yes, it was a bit of a shame, as the good rep, and the popularity of the dev is based on the good atmosphere, and the brilliant choice of real ales. It was a little disappointing, but, meh, it happens... *shrug*

It was not really something that could be helped, nor was it the barstaff's collective faults. they were waiting for a repair (I think it was only the guest ale pump that was kaput)

there were more than enough alternatives mind you...

Despite the draught beers being out of order, there were plenty of bottled beers, as well as a couple of speciality keg beers that were in the "cellar" room beside the bar. I believe that the lagers (stella etc) and the weisserbiers were not affected, and soft drinks were available in copious amounts...

PT

Oh dear!

"Real Ales" that need machinery!

It would never have happened in my day!:hihi:

In the words of my Mum - there's always one...maybe a few more years and a bit of maturity might help! ;)

Also, they had no real ale on all night :rant:

This is an exaggeration - they had real ales on when I arrived, it wasn't until later on that there was a problem. Unfortunate yes, but not enitrely their fault and they have a good selection of bottled ales.

Later on?! I arrived about 8.15 and they had no real ales on then, and some useless deaf as a doorpost bint behind the bar who I had to ask twice for what I finally decided on.

I know I should be sympathetic being deaf myself but pfft... :loopy:

How does not hearing you correctly make them a jobsworth? No doubt if they'd misheard you, and given you something you didn't want, you would have been shouting from the rooftops about it...

Well I suppose I did start a bit early... :blush: :hihi:

Exactly. A compressor - that would be the same type of thing that Wetherspoons uses that basically shoves gas down a pipe that then forces the ale up. For Shame!! I want to see the bar staff putting some effort into drawing it up properly!!:hihi:

And as for PT's suggestion of non alcoholic drinks......well I'd heard they existed but never really believed it. Gosh, think I'll have to go and lie down...................................non alcoholic drinks.........wanders away muttering....well I never......

Boycott the Dev Cat?

Not when there's Erdinger on tap :D

Sorry robbie! :thumbsup:

Personally i think there was an over reaction.

When the geeza came over, the first thing he said was that people are taking offense to his loudness. When I asked if people had complained, he said "ok, well there hasnt been any complaints, bit Im offended"

As for the chat up lines, its only fun and games, she didnt have to stay around and listen to Robbie. I didnt hear any offensive lines. She seemed more offended when I compared her to Camilla Parker Bowles.

What's Mah Jong mean????

He was shouting his head off, swearing and carrying on and generally being what a lot of people considered offensive.

I was sat next to him last night and to be honest I felt more than a little intimidated by his actions and language but didn't dare say anything cos he's bigger than me and I didn't want to end up on the business end of a smack in the face.

Great. If pubs get rid of gits like that then they are OK. I will put the Dev Cat on my list of pubs to drink in.

Kick the Chavs out and reclaim our pubs.

It means something like "The Twittering Of Sparrows", from the sound the tiles make as they are shuffled.
