illegal nightclub?

finnharpsboy · 17-11-2013 10:04AM #1

Taxi men were queuing up (maybe four or five) outside a unit in bluebell this morning picking up numerous amounts of people, mainly under 25 years old i'd guess, dressed like it was a night out, carrying bottles of drink. On the kylemore road there was more of these drunks strolling up the road towards Mc Donalds, sum slumped up against the bus shelter while others were randomly walking into the road waving cars down.

It's not the first weekend morning i've seen the same carry on, seems a regular thing

I've heard about these. They sound like a scene from Breaking Bad!

Thanks for reporting this to us, OP. I've sent a car with two of our best agents to the area to investigate.

Have a nice day.

You mean a rave?

DEFTLEFTHAND · 17-11-2013 11:09AM

It's a racket, 10 Euro standing charge and then you're mugged of the rest of your money when you fall asleep on the couch.

It's ingenious imo, drunken muppets who want more drink go along with their crowd and they make for easy pickings. They think they'll get the ride off some young one they chatted up in the bar beforehand.

What does that have to do with illegal nightclubs?

Alter-Ego · 17-11-2013 11:14AM

Some say, they come looking for drugs, dirty dancing, and pounding techno music.

Labour Party Conference??

Down our neck of the woods they are usually leaving the premises , just as the old folks are heading into 8am Mass .

After 9am is a bit late in the day for this carry-on

It's most likely a warehouse party. Twenty something's can't understand why clubs must close at 3am, when they are open pretty much everywhere else in Europe at that hour.

Damn right they are too. And why doesn't Ikea open till 10.30 or 11am? And why can't we buy beer after 10pm in the shops? And why do we need to go in to get a tax disc - online, no questions asked, it's a bill, not a priveledge.

This country has a lot of questions to answer. Personally, I blame Ray D'Arcy.

If twenty somethings didn't end up comatosed in A+E maybe the clubs would'nt have to close at 3am.

3am? I thought it was 2 in most places. Anyway I don't think it would really make a difference what time they close at. People will still get flutered.

Have you ever seen "Breaking Bad"?

The purpose of early closing is to limit the damage.

Wouldn't people just start drinking earlier?

Not really it means everybody get lashed earlier and then they all get thrown out on the street at the same time and that's when chaos ensues.

But surely if you knew that the club was open to say 5am, you'd be going out that little bit later too so in effect it wouldn't matter what time they closed at? Coupled with more progressive off-licensing laws your night out mightn't start until 10 or 11pm.

17-11-2013 12:43PM

Yeah its a warehouse party, been to one there before, it was alright, not great, a lot of people have nowhere to go at 3am when the clubs shut, do you blame them for having raves?

So what difference does it make then.

If opening hours where longer, you wouldn't get the mass exodus of drunken people that currently happens at throwing out time IMO. People would go and leave after a few hours so the stream of people spilling out into the streets would be a little more controlled.

Trust me on this lads, don't argue with Kneemos..... he'll basically make the stupidest points and never see that staggered closing times are right.

Nobody mentioned staggered closing times just early as opposed to late.

In just about every other country in Europe, where forced closing time isn't 2am, not everyone keeps drinking every night until 5 just because they can. If you want to stay that long, it's your prerogative. But it means, as others have said here, that you don't end up with hundreds of people buckled outside supermac's at half-past 2 because everywhere else is closed.

Coupled with this, if the nightclub is only open for 3 hours, you only have 3 hours to drink as much as possible, because after that it's game over. I honestly can't see any upside to everything closing at 2am.

illegal nightclub?
