The wezz

Seeming as it was mentioned on the other thread,

I was wondering was it ias bad as it was made out to be by the papers etc.
I thought when that article came out in the Sunday World ages ago.It was taking a pot shot at people in d4 etc(because it is a working class newspaper)

The disco I used to go to in Leitrim was far worse, in the toilets we had knackers from Longford snorting yolks(no offense to normal Longford people), People from different GAA areas fighting,sexual intercourse happening in the disco.plenty of drinking before hand too.

So does the Wezz really deserve the bad name it gets?

Edit:Took the name out to stop trouble.Sorry mods:)

[snorting yolks([/QUOTE]

Snorting them?!?! Never seen that before

I seen a lot of weird things happen in that disco.

According to my 14 year old cousin, It's a posher version of teenage kicks that SPIN 103.8 host in the leisure plexes.

Nah the Wezz is actualy grand (granted I've only ever been to "Back 2 Wezz", which is the older version). Sure there are a couple of drunken messes (usually girls) but the same could be said of any club/pub in Dublin. Those pictures of girls that were taken in the Sunday World were of the people so drunk that they didn't get it, and weren't representative of the type of people who actually get in there at all. Like most events, people just go there to have a good time.

At baby Wezz they even have a lollipop lady to help people who are really drunk cross the road!

The Wes had nothing on a couple of discos I went to in Clare. Very reserved in comparison.

Course I'm fookin ancient now (23) so maybe it's all changed!

The "Teenage Kicks" disco (or "Spin" as all the 13 year olds call it) is like a younger version of Wezz. It really goes:


1st year- Spin
2nd/3rd Year- Baby Wezz
3rd/4th year- Old Wezz
5th year- Back to Wezz
6th year- Real pubs and Clubs.

I have been in clubs from NY to Galway but never seen anything like I did in those teenage discos.To be honest though,it was the girls with low self confidence who were getting pissed and easy.I say they regret it now.Once you get the name of a slut,its hard to lose it

Enistymon or Lahinch by any chance? Coz they're still skang fests.

Kind of regret not going to this place when I was a youth now that I hear reports of said debauchery. Wonder if they'd turn me away at the door these days? It's only statutory if you get caught...

tribulus

One was in Kilkee, the other might have been Enistymon, can't remember fully I'm afraid.

I think I went to Spin twice in 2nd year. Then never went to any teen disco again...

I was so uncool

From seeing teens go there on buses and outside it, I'd say that in terms of teenagers getting drunk and girls wearing half nothing, it deserves its reputation. In terms of being eternally damaging and corrupting to teenagers, probably not.

Piste

2nd year?! No we were far too cool for that carry on in second year. Baby Wezz was where it's at.


I only ever went to Wezz twice actually, both in 5th year.

Heh, well we were hanging around with 1st year girls at the time.

My sister has actually gone through that exact progression that you've listed, apart from one intermediate phase, since apparently there's a "Third Year Wezz" these days....

Piste

Heh, I knew it was only a matter of time before they spotted the kids too old for baby wezz but who'd get bet up at old wezz.

Did anyone actually go to Wezz in 3rd year? I thought it was more Bondi (Im not refering to wether Bondi exists anymore but more that when we were in third year people used to go to Bondi)

Is there any substitute for Bondi?

Only ever went to Wezz once, an after party, was absolutely shíte. I was among the four coherent and sober people there. I'll never look at most of my year the same way .

Piste

Oh yeah Bondi, forgot about that. Never went there though I wanted to. I remember after the JC EVERYONE went, but unfortuantely everyone else's exams finished before me, I had music to do so couldn't go out

Was that the fashion show afterparty? I was going to go to that, but then some guy from your year were absolute dicks to me and put me in a fould mood so I went home and sulked.

Now the feeling......Classical Studies

Yeah, Upon first glance i was like woah seems kinda harsh, then I thought about my year. Yeah that fits the bill of my year in general, they're cúnts (well some of them have gotten to a tolerale enought stage, but thats another rant). What did they do that was so dickish, if you dont mind me asking?

Speaking of fashion show after party, never have I ever seen someone quite so inapropriate asked to by drink. Some woman in a suit in <snip>no mentioning of where to get drink for minors</snip> carrying a dozen or so cans of Dutch Gold up to the counter, and a gang of girls outside watching intently

Piste

Nonsense. My year would never drink Dutch Gold. Also I had to edit your post so it didn't say where the drink was got, it's all explained in the charter which you should have read! about what is and what isn't allowed to be discussed.

Ok I know it will sound really childish but....thy pulled my hair. I was wearing these adorable hair clips that were very tight and one guy standing behind me, who I'd never met before yanked one out really hard which hurt a lot. I like to think I turned round and angrily told him to fúck off, but most likely I just turned around and glared, not daring to say anything. Spoiled my mood for the night

I actually did read it sorry. The location was more to put context to the story.

Your year does (well most likely did) I'm sorry (could possibly name some of the girls too/wont though)

Should have kicked him ahem........somewhere. That to be fair is pretty low down on the asshole things Ive heard them do, but its pretty shocking. Probably could guess who it was!, even though I was back stage for the ENTIRE time, my penance for putting a really shít CV in.

All I can say is that it clearly wasnt me

Ok good :P not that I could say I suspected you or anything!

I never actually went to Wezz. My entire school did (practically) and in my 12 - 15 year old desire to be slightly different i refused to dress like a whore and venture thataway. Also I was scared of the scary boys!

From what i heard (and saw them wearing) Our Lady's girls are in a league of their own for sluttiness. Or maybe that was just my year.*shudder*

Aisling(",)

i never went to wezz or bondi.too far away but the discos i did go to werent much better by the sounds of it.we always had fights and generally ended up with the gaurds called at least once a month

KnifeWRENCH

I never ever went to a teenage disco - it just wasn't my kind of thing. Some of the stories I heard about them afterwards made me glad I never went to one.

Been a few times and only went because me mates uncle works the door. Probably wouldn't have got in otherwise being a northsider. In my experience it's only good after a few drinks. But a good night out all the same.

You deprived child! They were great craic

lorna100

went to to spin in first year (it had just been set up then) and baby wezz, old wezz and back to wezz all through 2nd to 5th year.

Ok - baby wezz is bad. What I saw of it anyway - really bad. Great fun, but the things that used to go on.

Old wezz - a bit more respectable but most people would be off their heads drunk. Paramedics would be on the grounds if it was a big night, like halloween etc.

Back to wezz - for the people <snip>no talk of fake ids!</snip>

Not a Mod, but is not clear enough in the charter?

I know it doesnt say anything about making them in the charter, but discretion much?

Nope, so I've edited it out. Talk of how to make a fake ID is banned, talk of where to get one is banned, talk of using one in a named venue is banned.

sorry bout that folks

tolosenc

Never went to Wezz. I'm from the Northside, you see. Our kind doesn't go down too well over there.

I thought I was so cool back in the day goin to my local one. Looking back on it, it was disgusting - the general state of the hall, the fights, the sleaziness(the attire and the scoring 8-11 girls in one night).

I love when people get glandular fever as a result of sleeeeeeeeeeeeeazing.

Teen discos...... The Sodom and Gommorah of modern Ireland..... If adults could see them they would die of shock at just how bad they are.

Piste

I dunno, they're not -that- bad I don't think!

veritable

these kinds of discos are a rite of passage. nothing evil or too bad about them, it's where real education takes place!

Piste

Yeah you learn a lot about limits with alcohol, proper behaviour when you're out, you get more comfortable around guys. Learn how to politely (and not so politely) get guys away from you when they dance with you.

thusspakeblixa

Went to Wezz once, then realised I could get into real clubs and stop hanging around with such eejits
...it was bad. ****ty bad. As in: "OH GOD WILL IT EVER END" bad. I don't drink, and that made it worse I think, because I noticed how darned awful the kip was!

Haha my brother was in the pictures in the "article". To be honest, it isn't that bad at all. Of course people are going to be drinking, where do young people not drink? Ive never heard of any stabbings there, but I have seen this sexual intercourse you speak of

Its a teenage disco- There's going to be some 'aul fornication, theres going to be drink, its all part of growing up.

Never been to one myself- went to gigs instead, chics were much hotter!!

Not being from Dublin, I never did experience the Wezz. I've heard some awful stories though.

Definitly.

The local teenage disco closed down several years ago. The local nite club closed recently too. I see a trend.

Anyway the nearest one is fifteen miles away and the last bus goes quite early so i couldnt be arsed at all.....

The teenage one was stank of sweat and sick so after one go i retired to the pub (airconditoned in the lounge : ) )

Never went to Wezz or other discos either, was more of a Blast girl! Same stuff went on, just to different music and in different clothes.
