    I find myself revolted almost to the point of illness every time I venture into the city centre for the purposes of indulging in what is frequently termed a “night out”. At every turn I am forced to see sights I don’t wish to see, hear sounds I don’t wish to hear. All in all it constitutes a veritable barrage of unpleasant sensory stimuli.

    To sift through the darkest recesses of my worst memories, in order to establish exactly what it is about this phenomenon that I find most distasteful, is a difficult and deleterious undertaking, however it is one which I have gone about with great zeal as the act of isolating an entity’s most vexatious aspects can be a fruitful one if it aids future understanding.

    Nightclubs should have a place closest to the centre of the inferno reserved until Beelzebub’s muses grant him the inspiration to fashion a more repugnant setting to torture his conquests. In these vile centres of depravity, the infliction of agony is as ceaseless as it is furious:

    One steps inside, and instantly the soul shivers in its crystalline shell, fearing what it knows will come. One’s aural faculties are rendered useless at the point of entrance, as the mindless souls of the damned howl from all corners, signing their mirthless hymns of lunacy, and prevent all else from visiting the auditory lobe. Even the death cries of one’s own progeny would be sweet relief compared to the songs of these succubae

    Deeper still into the sickening sea one ventures, where upon the aural agonies are lessened, but only by the greater weight placed on the other senses; man can only endure so much, the greatest pain will always take priority. Your nostrils are filled with the inky weight of a miasma so foul that it causes you to curse the very moment you first drew breath. Your eyes are torn at by images so terrible that all you previously thought to be the greatest evil is now close to comfort in comparison. You are at the bar. It is the hideous beating heart of the beast, and it pumps the fetid libations to all parts of this place; nowhere is saved.

    Turning away in horror, you flee with the indifference of a madman, not fearing, for the worst has been seen. The aural assault lessens none, if anything it is all the more vehement. The crowds of the damned thicken. Soon you realise they are moving in formation, swaying in rhythm with the cursed beat. Plucked from your retreat into insanity, you begin to take in your surrounds, and soon the dreadful realisation dawns; you are on the dance floor. No worse, there is none. Bodies all around you, moving over each other, sicken misshapen faces twist with corrupt joy, eyes so dull they scarcely seem to hold even the faintest indication of life, less the likelihood that their own possess a soul. The sounds grow louder, the bodies grow closer, the sweat dripping odours stick to you and crawls over your skin like jealous maggots. Each face holds new terrors, each sounds deepens the cracks in your mental constitution. Even the purest memories shall forever be stained by merely occupying the same organ which assimilated these horrors. You push past the beasts. Tight cords of gristly twisting flesh squirm beneath your palms. Out, you must leave this place!!!! Frantic now, you push harder and harder. The smell is thick, almost tangible. Acrid sweat creeps from every pore. Out!!! Out!!! To the air, I must!!!!

    Outside you walk the streets towards home, a light rain in the air. Those things which visited the very core of your being this night will never be forgotten, but at least you have learned one valuable lesson; never cross that threshold again…..

    Edit: This serves no purpose other than providing a reason for my opinion. Please feel free to ignore it.

    Night in with friends > night out, spending all my money while doing ''The Cuckoo'' with a little whore on her Junior Cert night in some nightclub.

    Death.

    Your solution in 5 easy steps:

    1. Find a decent quiet pub.
    2. Have a few pints with your friends.
    3. Chat about whatever you so wish.
    4. Enjoy evening.
    5. Head Home and go to bed (No need to stay up writing lengthy posts on boards)

    I'll play devil's advocate and take the OP's side in this. :p

    I don't drink alcohol myself and have a rather serious dislike of drunk people, or moreso, their behaviour.

    I really dislike clubs for all their noise, chaos and hubris. Pubs can be just as bad but are generally more tolerable.

    I'd much rather have a chat with some mates in an place where we don't have to shout at each other. A quiet pub is fine, but I'd prefer somewhere more comfortable that didn't stink of alcohol.

    Maybe I'm just old...

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,762 ✭✭✭✭Princess Consuela Bananahammock


    60% agree with the OP - I am pleasantly surprised.

    My main problem is that there are not that many alternatives to the "mainstream" scoial scene. Certainly not that much variety, anyway, within it. And anyone who chooses to do somethign different is immediately ridiculed. "Each to there own" is not, unfortauntely, very much in practice in Ireland. Dublin, anyway, rest of the country I can't imagine things being much different.

    Nope, Turd, not a virgin, sorry to disappoint.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Seriously OP - if you speak like that in real life, then its probably no wonder you have crap nights out.

    Maybe you should stay in with your pipe & slippers in future.


    Or was this an attempt to try and show of your somewhat strained literacy skills before handing in an essay?

    Your post was trying just a little too hard to be clever, and ended up, well, crap.

    But in general, my idea of a good night out: a few mates, the local, nice guinness, good chat.

    Town = big no no. Its painful.

    That's like you starting a thread for a serious discussion and me popping in and asking you "do you like an aul sneaky finger".
    Is that an offer?

    LOL, and I got a three day ban recently because I posted a link to a BBC poll because it referred to f*****ll :p

    AH is certainly in a league of its own.

    No, I'm saying that if you go to a pub/club then dont complain about people being drunk or the place smelling like alcohol because that is what it does

    Glad to see my opinion is in the majority, surprised, but glad nonetheless.

    All my friends ever want to do is go to nightclubs, get pissed and eat disgusting fried food on the way home.

    I can't get drunk no matter how hard I try (And I tried a lot when I was younger) and I hate being in really full places so I generally give it a miss. I end up staying home a lot.

    I like going to dinner or the cinema or staying in to watch movies :(

    Was she really complaining tho? She doesnt like drunken idiots. I dont see that as moaning tbh. Fair enough she doesnt like the smell but why would that stop her hanging out with her mates if they go to the pub?

    You're telling her she shouldnt go to a pub or club because she doesnt drink.

    To answer the OP's question, yes, I dislike the mainstream social scene. Not because of drunk people or their behaviour though. I don't like 'mainstream' music, so clearly most pubs wouldn't suit me. I actually enjoy the company of drunken idiots, especially at festivals.

    Anyway, if you're not into the mainstream social scene, try this: Don't go to clubs and pubs. Why not go to a restaurant, or to a dinner-dance (seems like the OP's kind of thing) or have friends over to your house instead?

    One of the big drawbacks of the clubs is their music is too loud. Yeah, that's old manish, I know, but once I went out and I had titinus for FIVE days after it. On top of that, I had the hearing of a drooling old man in that time. It was a ****e night out too.

    Sometimes though it can be good when the women are shlutty though and well worth it. It's hit and miss too much of the time though.

    It may have sounded like that but what I meant is that if you are going to complain about going to a place then dont go. And yes it was complaining. If someone doesnt like drunken idiots thats fine, but why then would you go to the drunken idiot breeding ground and complain when the place is full of drunken idiots? :confused:

    Who does like drunken idiots tho?

    It appears that some posters are of the opinion that I am of advanced years. This is not the case. I am on this earth a mere twenty years. People of all ages are able to appreciate exactly how abhorrent the night club experience is.........

    I am convinced that people young and old share my views on this topic.

    I do. I think they are great fun. Most people probably dont like them though, but they go to pubs/clubs anyway and they dont complain because they know what they are getting themselves in for. If you dont want to be around drunken idiots then stay at home or go to a restaurant or cafe or the cinema. There is a wealth of places that are not populated with those folk

    Seriously OP - if you speak like that in real life, then its probably no wonder you have crap nights out.

    Maybe you should stay in with your pipe & slippers in future.


    Or was this an attempt to try and show of your somewhat strained literacy skills before handing in an essay?

    Your post was trying just a little too hard to be clever, and ended up, well, crap.

    .

    Ah leave him off, I thought it was funny :confused:

    Not a big clubber myself, more because I hate the music than anything else. But if a club/late bar has decent (or just not terrible) music I'll happily go there. Still though, prefer boozey nights in.
