I was never into going out anyway. Now and then was fine but i definitely felt peer pressure to be more into boozing and 'sessions' than i really was. I would hate to be a teenager/early 20s now with the added annoyance of friends on facebook banging on about their amazing social lives. Also, from what i read and hear about, going out clubbing nowadays has way more dangers/risks/


Give me Netflix and bed any day and if people think i'm 'boring' they can go and cry about it !

I'm not on FB so thankfully I don't get to see any of the drunks antics from the night before or people preparing themselves for going out so the temptation isn't even around. I'm known as the "boring" one these days. I'm not even going to apologise cause realistically, I can't be arsed getting ready only to fall in the door few hours later looking like a slapped arse and regretting it the next day. Although, I have had some brilliant moments...

Tea and Netflix always wins

I'm on bed. Dying with a cold (and by 'dying', I mean my nose is clogged up and my throat hurts a bit) and contemplating getting into bed, but 8:30 feels too early.

I used to hate being sent to bed early, when all the other kids were still playing outside. It was the worst punishment ever (Mind you, I was twenty-eight years old).

Netflix and chill.

I imagine parents these days discipline their children by forcing them to stay up in the living room watching RTE. How things have changed.

Head out man. I wish I could go back and tell 23 year old me that there'll be plenty of nights to stay in and arse about. And how bloody difficult it will be to get that many out again in a few years.


Actually I would just kill the younger me and assume his place. Disposing of the body should be grand given that no-one will be looking for me.

I honestly haven't the energy Was tempted to go to the shops to get vodka and red bull but even the thought of getting out of bed to get dress to go to the shops! People don't wear Pjs to the shop in my area anymore so I taught I was able to get away with it for just this once

Yep. Netflix on the laptop. Redtube on the iPad. I like redtube on the iPad, it gives you a preview of the video, if you touch the corner of the clip.

As old as Medusa? :pac:

I feel no embarrassment about going to bed early if I need to, or staying in if I want to. I've worked late nearly every night this week and I'm tired. If I want to go to bed early and watch a movie, then I bloody well will!

That honestly sounds like an effort! Too much concentration for me mate, especially as I'm way too relaxed to even change this documentary I'm watching and its ****e!

It's all very well enjoying yourself in the moment, and having fun memories of good nights out and that, nothing wrong with that at all. But this "people who don't go out are boring ..." stuff is kind of silly. Sure, going out and doing stuff together is great for bonding, but if I met someone new and we were having a conversation and all they had to talk about was "one time at the club this happened, it was hilarious, well maybe you had to be there....." instead of (for example) discussing some film or other that we've both seen I think I'd get bored pretty quickly!

booooring!

Your bloody 23 not 80. Hangovers shouldn't be too bad at that age.

Get up out of bed, get to the off license and down a bottle of buckfast and meet your friends on the beer. Cop onto yourself.

I'm not actually hungover and I don't like buckfest. I'm just the laziness person known to man kind and would quiet gladly sit in with tea. It was a session in a house with a few drinks but I can barely hit 2am without wanting to go to bed and I was up early to drop a friend to work.

Yup! I love going out for dinner with friends and maybe a couple of drinks afterwards. But the whole clubbing thing - nah! Luckily the friends i have now have the same view.

My cousin was always asking me to go clubbing with her and her mates and i rarely went (mainly because this cousin has issues....) but years later i ended up working with one of those mates and she eventually told me how surprised she was to see that i was so much fun/chatty because she had thought i was so dry and boring because i never went clubbing with them back then. It's so stupid - not wanting to booze my way into oblivion and dance to ****ty music every weekend meant i was a total bore in her eyes :rolleyes:

I'm 33 and the last hangover I had was so bad that you could almost pick it up and take a photograph of it.

Focking roger, last night ruined me and I'm all for the netflix and chill at the moment. Sans girlfriend, unfortunately.

Don't mind this numpty. Do whatever you feel like doing and don't allow anyone to make you feel pressured. Life doesn't stop at 25, you can still go out and party past that point if you want.

Couple of ice cold cans of man the fcuk up from the fridge and you'll be grand.

I don't get the whole Netflix thing at all, it's not a generation thing either as plenty of my friends think it's the best thing since sliced bread, but one can have too many choices IMO, and spend more time actually looking for something to watch, than actually watching anything!

It reminds me of some of my friends when we're going out, they'll spend more time doing their hair, clothes and makeup, than we will actually be out drinking! :pac:

@OP - bed by 8pm? You're an adult, and if Netflix and a cup of tea are your thing, more power to you! Could never see it being my thing though, I'm at an age now where I'm starting to wonder will I get turned away from the club for being too old!

Hasn't happened yet though...

I was joking obviously. Sometimes like a quite weekend myself.

As sad as it is to say, I've recently started watching the re-runs of Only Fools and Horses and The Royle Family on Netflix and its safe to say, I'm hooked. Honestly, fresh sheets, tea (just don't spill it) and re-runs in bed, it seriously beats pulling my wardrobe apart and dragging my arse to the shower

Reiketsu

I'm in bed by 10pm for the third Saturday in a row...haven't even been out any of those Fridays beforehand, just a few in house but even that is difficult to me now. I'm only 27 :O. It was 5pm before I stopped feeling sick today!

I must take another look at this Netflix business, they're classics! :eek:

My wife does the fresh sheets and camomile tea thing alright, says it's about the only time she gets any peace :pac:

I stay in every Saturday night because nearly all of the (few) friends I have live in England and I've no-one to go out with.
And I'm too cheap to pay for Netflix so don't ever do a whole lot with my nights in. Have a Chinese ordered though, so at least I can get fat(ter). \o/

€6.99 a month? It's not even a dent to your wages. Well not mine anyways so I supposed I shouldn't judge. Chinese you say? Now that's a thought

I woke up at 7 this evening with half a mcmór in me jeans pocket.my colleagues are alcoholics ffs.

You will get a good nights sleep while your friends will spend most of the day nursing hangovers and trying to find 'the cure'.

Plusssss I'm back in work 7am on Monday and dying all day tomorrow and straight back into work would physically kill me. I've done it a few too many times and I just can't anymore.

Op, when I was your age, my father always said to me on a Saturday night, every Saturday night nearly, as I was heading out with the lads, 'Son, you should be in bed for 12'.
And if I wasn't in bed by 12, he'd always recommend that I come home.

That's quiet comforting and endearing. Was that a little motto he had or rules?

TheNobleKipper

I can't think of a better saturday night that tonight: playing Tetris on the original GameBoy in my R2D2 dressing gown. That scenario alone should be enough of a giveaway of my age, I am counting the years until retirement.

Netflix is there to remind us all of what it felt like to stand around in a s**tty local xtra vision!

I'm actually pretty sure they arrange their content in a really obscure way on purpose so that you don't get through it all too quickly.

I want to be in bed. Night shifts suck awfully.

They really do.

Worst shift I ever worked was in a petrol station about 15 foot square at the side of a dual carriageway on Christmas eve from 12 midnight to 8 o clock Christmas morning...

Don't be giving the kid grief for having a hangover, half you crowd can't drink for sh1t either. There's this big thing about paddies being heavy drinkers, most in my experience don't rank up at all, they get silly and start asking for bed or get violent outside of fastfood joints or begin throwing up on the streets.

About 10% are the real deal, the rest are phonys who exaggerate their consumption.

You're comparing solid Stout and Whiskey men to mule piss lager and V&RB pussies who melt down before the nights end.

I find that Tuesday is when the weekends comeupins start to kick in.

Best advice I ever got was from my grandmother who said to me if you're not in bed by midnight on a Saturday night, go home.
