The dancer, the beer guru and the strip club...

[Geoff Griggs]

Strictly Ballroom star and Dancing with the Stars judge Paul Mercurio says he and a friend were kicked out of a strip club because a dancer "got into a huff" when they wouldn't tip her...

... The father of three said "the touch" Santa Fe Dreamgirls staff were referring too was perfectly innocent, and that he and his "beer guru" friend were effectively kicked out for not tipping a dancer despite being the only customers present.

Who is this mystery "beer guru"?

[Stu McKinlay]

Well he is from Melbourne and Mike Neilson was just over there... Mike, anything to say?

Wasn't me, I've not been there for over 5 years - I took Fritha there for our first date.

"I took Fritha there for our first date."

Haha chooooooooooooice.

[Stu McKinlay]

It wasn't really a date. I was married and she had a boyfriend.

[Mike Neilson]

Nah I didnt see him there? I might of been out the back? Just Joking!! Wasnt me!!

[Stu McKinlay]

What, did you say it was JoKing?

[Mike Neilson]

Could of been?

[JoKing]

I'll admit it. Even though Paul Mercurio thinks I'm a guru - he's fukn full of it. I may drink heaps of beer, but I'm no Guru: I'm just a pisshead. And who gives a shit about those stupid stripper bitches, they didn't deserve a tip: I had a more riskay strip show on my stag night - and I didn't have to tip her!

[Stu McKinlay]

Body slide?

We're on the verge of jacking here (the thread I mean).

It's early morning in the UK, I'm sure Luke or Kempicus will fess up soon.

[JoKing]

You are right, Stu. Appologies Geoff. I'll pull any offensive comments if requested.

[James P]

What goes on tour stays on tour...... and the interweb is the epitome of free speech, you try and prove they are offensive... and that JoKing was there.... besides the CCTV footage!...

Must admit, I thought the thread said something about "beer gun" when I first scanned the page quickly and I was thinking "keg fridge"
Obviously a different sort of device was involved ...

[Steph]

Hum...didn't Luke mention something about going to an aquarium last time he was in Welly, or was that someone else?
