friday night party thread

[Gandalf]

I missed the party. Boring Friday night, and I was asleep unusually early too. No raving from me.

Do you get many opportunitys to hit the bar where you are miles??

For what its worth i spent between the hours of 10-2am unsuccesfully chatting up everything that moved including a right few munters and got absoloutely nowhere, headed to a house party from then on and proceeded to smoke a bit of homegrown and puke up over my friends finest persian

I seem to have missed this post.

Actually, these days I don't really go out to bars as much as I did in the old days. In my first few years here I was a bit of a social animal, but since getting married and getting older I've found myself going out less and less. I sometimes go to a local boozer with the few people I know, but otherwise don't hang out in big groups like I used to.

People typically come here on one year contracts and then they are gone and the cycle of making friends over and over gets stale. You know more and more about the country each year and they know less and less and it just becomes more effort than it's worth. So, just a very quiet and usually deserted bar with a few friends with lives similar to my own. Sometimes I might even sit at the bar alone, which is something I would never have considered doing back home. I will usually pop out once a week, twice if I'm bored and wife permitting.

With posts like this and my thread about insurance I wonder if I have now become middle-aged.

Sadly my life reads a bit Like Miles, I take about two hours to get from the office to my house so I tend not to hang about as the trains are shite after rush hour. I once left the city at 9pm and didn't get home until 12:30am.
having spent a bit of time in London I was used to going out on the piss quite a bit, the wife used to like a good night out too but now we have a little boy who's almost 4 we can't really get out, not that we mind.

Only problem is that locally where I live the bars are a bit rougher which Idon't mind coming from Glasgow, but the missus feels well out of place with her Prada bags and getting a bit more dressed up.

Won't bore you with any old stories about when I did get out....usually end up with vomit,locked out the house and the occassional copper......... Although there was that time with the twins............

You make out like that's a bad thing. If I'm out partying I would come in anytime after 4AM at the earliest. Half past midnight is still early.

Think you misinterpreted what I was saying mate, it took me that long just to get home, not saying it was a late night just that the public transport is so shite it makes it a waste of time to stay out in the city. if I get a cab home it would cost about $250 and no one would want to do it anyway.

used to gout at 10pm back home go clubbing after midnight leave the club at 4am then off the the pub for 5am at the fruit market so I have been there despite now being an old fart
