    Wristbands for the over 18's on entry but they weren't checking at the bar so everyone got served. I don't know what those wrist bands were made of but I had to use a scissors to cut it off. The bar ran out of tequila by the main course. I always knew I went to school with a classy bunch. :pac:

    I am the master when it comes to smuggling in naggins everywhere :D Just wear two sets of underwear, one for your yano your human stuff and one for the drink. You can easily fit two naggins in there and they won't frisk you around your crotch. Women, it's bad luck for you as they will check that area but not for men. Hope this helps everyone's night at the debs a really good one with naggins drank on the bus :)

    Debs is in a year, tickets aren't on sale till january, I'm impatient don't want to wait to be asked, only want to go with one guy in my year and he's quite smaller than me and I doubt he'll ask me I want to ask a guy in the year below but is it too early? I don't want to stress about it I'm in 6th year and need to focus on my LC

    Ask the guy you want to go with.
    It makes no difference if he's smaller than you - ask him. If for some reason he declines, ask the guy in the year before you, but remember, depending on the venue, there may be a problem if he is under 18.

    If you like the guy, does it matter? Sit down for the photo with him standing beside / behind you if that's what's worrying you.

    Plus he has the best part of a year to shoot up ...

    And honestly, if you're stressing about a Debs that is a year away, you need to sit down and have a talk with yourself! ;)

    For ours, we met up at the hotel at around 5-6, left hotel for the venue at 6:30. Didn't get back to the hotel till about 6am next morning. It depends where the venue is as ours was 3hrs away by bus drive! Was a hellish journey going home with no toilet breaks.

    If your venue is about an hour away, could be from 6 till 4-5 next morning really. Most nightclubs close at 3

    I wouldn't do it too early! I know a good few people that asked people close to the start of the year and regretted it because they broke up/weren't really friends anymore/ started going out with someone else. Our debs was the end of august and most people (myself included) didnt even think about dates until after the LC

    Have a look in charity shops - seriously. My brother found an Armani suit that does him for formal occasions.
