Forum: Going out

Have been thinking of going to more gigs but not sure how to go about it. I think they can be quite tribal and concerned about seeming out of place. However, would not want to miss out on them. You can learn something about the culture by reading and perhaps observing, but when you go there it seems to help to be part of it in the first place. I have heard that you will not be respected if it...

Hey. Im 20, male btw Im off work for the next few days (had a half day today) so I ended up going into town for the day. I fancied a drink after a bit of shopping so im currently sitting in a pub on my smartphone. I am actually enjoying myself a bit but it would be better with someone. Anyway, is it sad to sit in a pub on your own esp at my age?I have a paper with me but that only lasts so...

Me and my friends are going to Paris next year (2 of us will be 17 the other 3 will still be 16) we've found flights for when we go, and we've sort of been bouncing around websites trying to find decent hotels. I was wondering if you lot had any reccomendations? We need something with easy access to the airport but then we want to be close the all the...

which ones? :confused:

In the old days everyone in London used an A to Z to go about, or a provincial town map, or ask a friend if not strangers you find in the street Has all this been made redundant by accurate street finders on internet map sites Who still leaves the house in London on a trip carrying a traditional paperback A to Z?

Hi all Always been afraid to completely blackout when I' m trying to talk to anyone (I don't know (well)). I just have a lack of subjects, perhaps because I think the subjects I come up with are dull and uninteresting (though, conversationpartner have the right to think this way, it isnt helping me. So to make it more concrete: How would you feel when your converstationpartner (hence the...

Having spent a little time working in public house/nightclub venues on the customer facing side and also on the corporate higher up side to; one thing that always had me wondering on ethics and legal issues were under 18 events. I have worked a number of these events in the past, and for the most part they are usually trouble free, there was on the rare occasion the odd incident that tried to...

I have no idea what I can wear, pretty much anything goes so could someone give me some suggestions please

They don't have to be big or well known. Just your favourites for whatever reasons. You could have just had some sound times there. 1. Fabric (London) 2. Paradiso (Amsterdam) 3. Ice Club (Ayia Napa) 4. Mint (Leeds) 5. Castle (Ayia Napa) 6. Matter (London) 7. Honey Club (Brighton) 8. SeOne (London)

I live in a very car dependent town. I rarely go out and have no local friends. I think there is a link between these two facts. I'm from a one car family. My mother works during the day and my father works in the evenings. This means my mum has to rush home with the car so that my dad can use it to drive to work. If my mum has to either work late or needs to drive in the evening my dad...

Gosh I haven't been on here in ages and now I can't stop posting! My friends and I have just booked tickets for Creamfields, yes the line up hasn't been announced but I know that it's going to be wicked! Anyway this will be the first festival that I have been to...any advice please? I have heard not to leave anything (even your tent) unattended because of thieves! and what am I supposed to do...

I haven't been out to any clubs for oooh.. nearly 5 years now! but i'd love to go out in London again, somewhere good :) Can anyone recommend a good metal/rock/punk/ska/indie/electro club? I know there used to be places like Sin City, Slimelight and stuffs but not sure if they are any good now! Cheers :)

SO Brighton, Where would you recommend- pubs, clubs, bars, you name it. need opinions :) sick of going to wetherspoons (even though it's cheap) thank you! BB x

I've never been to a festival before (so many people who know me seem surprised when I say this :confused: ) and in 2011, unless I get laid off, it will be the first year I will be able to afford to go! I'm looking for: Something family friendly Somewhere I'll be able to go out and be safe, also, I'd rather not have people puke on my tent or my neighbours fucking/arguing all night...

I have hardly drunk since Christmas. I found not drinking very easy, and want to continue. I have been to the pub a number of times, and most of the time I have driven and I have had a perfectly good night without drinking. My reason for stopping was a number of things, but mainly cos I didn't want to get drunk, but now after not drinking much for so long when I do have a beer I feel...
