Southern Geordie 1 Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Reet, I'm having a discussion with my friend and she's trying to convince me to go out clubbing with her and her mates next week. To be honest I've got nowt against clubbing but it's definitely not my cup of tea.. I've been to clubs before and you see shite loads of charver males trying it on with the girls that are in there despite the huge male to female ratio. Flip the ratio around and I'd be more up for it.. but while it's a "cock fest" I don't think clubbing is my cup of tea. I'd rather sit in the pub with my mates having a bit of banter, whereas in the clubs you can't hear what any bastid is saying! I'll probably end up going but clubbing is very overrated IMO.. I mean the music they play is shite anyways! Cue the "you're an old man" jokes.. but its the way I feel! What are everybody elses views on clubbing?

medina 0 Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 What are everybody elses views on clubbing? 5391[/snapback] See both sides of what you saying there. We generally do a pub, til about 12, then go to a night club, get the best of both worlds then. Theres never enough women though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milly-Molly 0 Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Well, i went clubbin last night and i have to say as a one off happening it was...erm...an experience! Loved the music n dancin etc but have to say you cant converse with peeps. Wouldnt do it more than once a month, but they arent too bad (fogey i know but pubs are much better in my opinion!) However you do see some sights in nightclubs,lmao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve 0 Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Clubs are shite, and the sooner pubs can stay open later in England the better. There is never a reason to go clubbing, ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 14112 Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 If the music's decent (which is unusual) and there's areas where you can actually sit and talk (well, shout), then it can be OK. Meat markets are horrible though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally 0 Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I like going clubbing at Uni providing the music is good, I hate it if its dance/trance music, it just makes the night shit. I very rarely go clubbing at home though, not many of my mates are in to it and we'd have a far better time at the pub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Lazaru 0 Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Same as what other people have said, the problem with clubs is usually i find the music often is shite and thats important to me. And as people said if its too loud to have a chat/laugh with your mates it isn't great either, can depend how pissed you are. But friday/saturday in Newcastle has so little choice of clubs for people with any taste in music! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6317 Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 It's all down to indivdual preference but I've generally always had a better night out if I've been down a pub rather than a club. I'd much rather sit down with a bunch of mates having a chat than being a window-less sweat-pit with music that loud that you can't hear yourself think and, as John put it, chavs on the pull... You've gotta try it though just so you know if it's your thing or not.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Hog 336 Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 The only thing that keeps me going back to clubs is the off chance I miss anything. Generally it's all good in the bars, even better if you get find one where you can get everyone sat down for a bit crack on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34997 Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Much rather be in a pub. When I go out I go out for the craic and for a bit of banter and pisstake. If the music's so loud that you have to get an earful of gob just to talk to someone it kinda takes the fun out of things. And I don't dance, so clubbing's pretty much pointless.

It's got a few nightclubs (4 I think, with possibly another opening up).

Matt 0 Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 My late night clubbing days are more or less over. It's fun at Uni, in my first year places were cheap and the music inoffensive. In my 2nd year RnB 'happened' and every bastard place played it. As it makes me want to stab people's eyes out, I stayed in a lot more then. Last year things seemed to settle down a bit and you happily go out for a night of drinking and cheesy music. All a bit of fun. Now I'm supposedly off to become a respected professional I can see me sticking to pubs and bars. I prefer being in a place where you can converse reasonably well. Bars with a bit of funky or progressive house playing at a moderate level get an extra star. Some clubs are excusable. But you need the right mix of clientele, price, venue and music- a pretty fine balance and everyone has a different ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't prove it but I'm bloody convinced one of their bastard drivers robbed my parents house while we were on holiday. Either that or they knwo who did.
