I HATE CLUBBING

a month or so ago my friends girlfriend KEPT asking me to go there and was being sort of sweet about it in her efforts to persuade me or see why I didn't want to go. But it was actually quite a rigorous interrogation in the end, I think I muttered something about liking to go to clubs where the clientele didn't make smart-ass comments about your hair or clothes and then I appeared all sensitive and offended as opposed to just picky.

YOU CAN'T WIN, I guess is the moral of this rambling story. Actually also I just hate going to a club where twats you don't even know will be all "I heard about you" the next week if you so much as talk to a girl, small town crap, grrr.

It's more the disrespect and total disregard for anyone else, residents or not, that makes B&T so awful. Don't behave in someone else's neighbourhood in a way that you would not behave in your own.

What do you think the chances are that I would be arrested? Quite high. SO WHY DO PEOPLE BEHAVE LIKE THAT IN MY NEIGHBOURHOOD AND THINK THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH IT?!?!?

Mark, FUCK YOU AND THE HIGH HORSE YOU RODE IN ON.

Not to the people that live in those central areas of cities, it's not. They're for living in.

Well, no, central London is not for the people who live there. At all! It's a fucking financial and cultural (and, once, industrial) capital -- people come to it from all over the world. Were you born within the sound of Bow Bells? No?

Kate you ignorant moron. Exactly the same behaviour happens in Wimbledon every night at 11pm. Come down here and check it out and for once in your life have a fucking clue about something you're whining on about on ILX.

Jesus. Has one person ever been so full of sanctimonious shit???

But a little considerationb for the thousands of people who do live there would be nice.

(Oh and in answer to your question; yes, but wrong Bow)

I am not saying that the centre of a city should be for residents only. But I *AM* saying that if you visit a place, ANY place, you should show the same respect and consideration as if it were your own home and neighbourhood.

LETS GET IT ON!!!!!!

Can't argue with that -- alas some people are fucking nightmares in their own street, it isn't the journey downtown that brings it out.

totally OTM. I just couldn't understand why 99% of the student population at my uni found getting pissed on alcopops and dancing to the worst music ever made to be the highlight of their week, but it also made me feel like an unsociable recluse for not wanting to go. Really I only went there to meet other students and do the whole social thing. I wasted a lot of time in my efforts.

Enrique - hah, I want to excelsior that but I don't know if anyone else would know what you're talking about.
