Just thought i would update. After a long time, i have just emailed the club. looking back before this event, my Shy bladder was not too bad, since however, my anxiety has been higher. Tell me what u think of the email. EMAIL: Hello, this may sound like a unusual email however i just wanted to tell you about my bad experience of Varsity last year. On my first ever visit to your bar in July 2007 i was pleased by the cheap drinks and excellent music however i was quite embarrassed when i went to use the toilets. I suffer from a mild form of 'paruresis' which prevents me from being able to use urinals. I arrived in the toilet to find that the two cubicles were occupied so waited patiently outside. Once inside after about 15 seconds, i heard a noise from behind and was absolutely shocked to see that one of the bouncers from the toilet had climbed up. He said to me 'What are you doing' so i came out of the cubical and he said to me again, 'what are you doing' but this time he was up very close to me, i felt like i was a criminal or something and just left the toilets, in shock. Now i am fully against drug use etc but i felt extremely intimidated and embarrassed by this event. I have no idea why the bouncer did this to me because an individual should have the right to use a cubical. I have come to the conclusion that for some reason i was labeled as a drug user or something, which is so ironic of me as i am totally on your side in the fight against the problem. The event has very much left me annoyed as i really liked Varsity but since i have not returned with my friends because of my bad experience. I would hate for it to happen again just because i use a cubical especially when this has never been a problem in any other club or bar before. Anyway, thanks for your time in this matter. I just felt i should bring this matter to your attention as i am sure i am not the only one that prefers to use the cubicles. Thanks Martin Miles, Student, Manchester
