Whats the best suited shirt/tie combo for a grey suit w/ grey waistcoat?

What colour is your date's dress? You should try to get a tie that matches her dress. Not sure what shirt colour would match with what tie you were so that's something for the women to answer :rolleyes:

Grey suit = black tie, simples :rolleyes:

No

IDd at the door on the way in where they gave ya a stamp if you were over 18, but they didn't check for stamps at the bar so :P

Lost my phone, age card, and passport last night.

The age card came back to me before I'd even noticed I'd lost it, courtesy of a friend! At this point I was too drunk to realise that if I'd dropped the age card then the passport probably went with it so I didn't even realise the passport was gone until I woke up today and emptied the pockets.

The phone was lost on the dancefloor, it was only an old blockia so I knew no one would steal it and that if it was picked up no one would want to keep it. Especially since I found the battery and the back off of the phone on the floor around where I dropped it. That's how I realised it was gone, I saw the battery and thought "that looks suspiciously like the battery off of my phone" and it was. I didn't see the phone again until breakfast when one lad who I'd told about the phone being missing came running up to me heroically, phone in hand. Some girl he was chatting to picked it up off the floor!

The hotel just said they'd post down the passport as well.

Moral of the story: I'm a lucky fecker and need to take more care when drunk. I'm so careful with my possessions sober, but I turn into a right careless and clumsy eejit when drunk.

Following this sequence of events I'm going to be taking a more minimalist approach to my nights out in future. :P

Good night though, I'll probably miss a good 90% of my year.

Good thing you took an old phone and an age card. What did you need the passport for though? For nights out, a wallet full of money only and your ID is all that's needed. Phones aren't required really but if you need it, take an old one

Yep that's what I usually do. The only reason I took the passport, and it was a stupid reason in hindsight, was because I'd gone from having really long hair to pretty short hair since my age card was done, so the photo now doesn't look like me at all. I'm sure the bouncers have the savvy to look at facial features and see that it's really me, but I didn't want to have my night ruined so I was taking precautions. Needless to say I won't be doing that again. :P

They didn't even check me for ID in the end though which is the most annoying part. All that hassle for nothing.

I've learned my lesson anyway, everything came back safely this time, but I could have easily been down 2 IDs and a phone which would have spoiled the night, so I'll need to be more careful.

pamela scott are pretty good, and if you can still get the kiss debs issue there's a 20% off voucher!

well personally I got mine in tk maxx, they usually have a good selection!

Hey! My Debs is on Wednesday in Limerick! I look fairly mature for my age but still 17 and I have no ID, will I have any problems on the night, do ye think?!

Ask someone what age do they think you are and if it's 18 or above, you're sorted. Wouldn't worry about ID as it's only strict ones are like that. You can get your friends to buy drinks for you if you don't pass the age criteria for the bartenders

Yeah thank you!
I know Cork is fairly strict when it comes to ID, but what about Limerick?

That sound good enough to me!
