What was the strangest night out you ever had?

    In my band during college, we played a friend's house party during rag week, which was raided by the cops. We then decided to move all equipment around the corner to our house and continue the gig and house party there. Lasted about 20 mins before the cops raided that and everybody was kicked out.

    While we were sitting around, surveying the destruction of 40+ people suddenly entering and being kicked out of our house, we heard some commotion outside. Looked like people being arrested and put in a paddy wagon in the middle of a green beside our house. After having a closer look and asking around, we realised what had happened.

    The paddy wagon had been chasing two streakers through our estate and chased them across the green, but ended getting stuck. The only two cops manning it looked young and completely bewildered. Probably only recent Templemore graduates. Basically, every passing student thought it was hilarious but all helped to try and move the van out of the mud, wrecking the bumper and panelling in the process. The van just never budged though.

    One of my housemates, a thick-as-sh1t kerryman, who was hammered at the time, said to one of the cops "let me drive it. i drove a tractor back home". He revved the sh1te our of it and of course, nothing happened. After a while, 'backup' arrived, complete withsome kind of towing rope and everybody scattered.



    tl;dr, Drunken kerry student drives police vehicle, with permission

    Hamburg Station 1987 at the end of an Interrail trip and I've just enough cash for my ferry back to the UK. While waiting for the train I get talking to an apparently English fella, but it turns out he's from a small Scottish town that he left 20 odd years before. I happen to know a very long joke about his hometown, and on hearing it he is in tears of laughter, he's my friend for life and is offering to buy me beers.

    It turns out he lives in Hamburg making a living dealing drugs and collecting dole. Against my better judgement, though he did appear totally genuine, we headed off to his flat in the St Pauli district behind the station. (The more rough and ready red light area of Hamburg). On the way he removes his gun from his waistband and asks me to hold his it while he takes a p*ss. Then I find myself shaking hands with pimps and assorted dodgy types as we make our way to his place.

    At his appartment he is the best host, we drink beer and roll joints while he reminisces about his homeland. We are joined by an assortment of his friends snorting and smoking, then he decides to break out his collection of weapons. I'm no expert but there appeared to be some heavy firepower there. Next he's firing crossbow bolts randomly at the walls and dartboard on the door. Each time you went to the toilet you had to wait for the 'thud' so it was safe to open the door. So they're all trying to persuade me to stay on for a few weeks and how easy it was to sign on, collect a few Deutschmarks and carry on partying.

    Luckily I kept my head, I didn't see this ending well, and manage to slip away early in the morning while the impromptu party degenerated further.

    The last thing I remember is pulling my rucksack on at the station locker and falling flat on my back, watching the feet of people stepping around me. Next thing I woke up in one of those train compartments on my own, clothes folded neatly on the floor. Somehow I was on the train to Oostende and my ferry home, and feeling slightly wiser for the experience.

    95 beers and a bottle of cane spirits between five. We had been drinking earlier.
    The host brought out his collection of dried elephant droppings - they had a "find the biggest dropping" competition - and his best effort had a branch in it.
    A catering size coffee tin of weed.
    The host fired off a few blasts of his shotgun down the table at a bed he had propped up against a tree.
    Two of the five were barred from drinking by their doctors.
    When the evening was over I flopped down on my bed, an inflated air bed on a concrete floor. It wasn't inflated, and I probably knocked myself out.

    Went out to the Shannon Knights on a Thursday, woke up in Athlone 6 day's later...
    Had a single bus ticket from Cork to Athlone in my pocket. ...
    I was in Cork Friday night lol
    A bag beside me on a park bench and a 6pack of cider, and a local solicitors business card in my wallet...
    I had spent the last 6 day's binge drinking and blacked out for 4....
    My phone rang and it was the solicitor calling me wondering where I was. ...
    I was staying with her in her apartment since Sunday night, she was quite attractive looking and took pity on me.
    I think her dad was an alcoholic, so she liked fixing people.
    I just had enough, got a bus back to Shannon, kicked the booze and im sober since that morning in 2003 :-)

    Friday night I got drunk in my old school which was a bit random. I didn't drink back in school so was fun to hammer free wine into me at a reunion and also getting chatting to my favourite teacher who used to be a nun but is now married to an ex priest. I did apologise to some of my old teachers too for all the crap I put them through.

    Strange fun night. Felt like I was 15 again, 21 years after leaving school.

    Not the strangest night out, but the strangest thing:
    Was in amsterdam and having a smoke in the coffee shop (up past Barneys Coffeeshop for anyone who knows amsterdam) and a dwarf on a little bmx cycled past. I was stoned, thought it was weird, but carried on and never mentioned it.
    Next day we were way over the far side of the red light district (dublin equivalent distance would be parnell street to camden street) having a smoke just inside the door of a coffee shop. We were both smoking and looking out the window and I said "did you see that dwarf on a bmx yesterday?". My mate said "no", but the second he says it, who the hell goes past, but the dwarf on the bmx.
    OK, probably not that good, but when you're stoned, it's fúcking amazing

    This one time, I went to the shop to buy a bottle of coke and some doughnuts. One thing led to another and I ended up throwing a TV off an overpass at 3 in the morning.

    Good times

    The strangest nights out always seem to be the ones were you had no real plans to do anything.

    One night I was on my way home from the cinema and met a mate who convinced me to go for one drink, so I did and then he convinced me to stay and have another. He then goes to the toilet and never returns.

    I get chatting with two lads from Birmingham and they start asking me about lapdancing clubs and I tell them I have never been to any (which was true) and that the only one I really know of is half casino / half lapdancing club and that I only know of it because I have walked past it a few times.

    They decide they are going to go to it and start knocking back their drinks fast and ask me if I'm coming. I say no, that it's not my thing and that sure I don't have any cash anyway. They start grabbing me, saying I'm coming whether I liked it or not and that I wasn't to worry about cash, the night was on them.

    As soon as we get outside they jump in a rickshaw and point at me and say: "He'll tell you were we're going". So off we all go, with them screaming at everyone along the way about where they are going and what they are going to see (in graphic detail). I remember one group of very well dressed ladies walking out of the Gaiety been quite unnerved by been screamed at by two brummies in a speeding rickshaw that they were gonna "lick som focking Iroish possy".

    So we get there and the lads bring me up to the door in a half head lock and say: "This man here tells us this is the best lapdancing club in Dublin. He says the birds here are better than Stringfellows, is he right?" and start winking at the bouncers like they know them years. In we go and are shown to some plush room with all leather seats and there are girls walking around in strange looking night dresses, all of whom are clearly eastern European.

    Lads immediately start complaining to me under their breath: "Oi, oi, mate. Where's all the Iroish girls mate?" I have no idea what to say and just shrug my shoulders and sit down. They order drinks and when they find out the prices say: "For a focking drink??" which gets the attention of some burly looking bloke standing at the door we came in through. I just start sinking into my chair wishing I'd never come.

    Next they say: "Where's the pole dancing then? Surely a lapdancing club worth it's salt has some pole dancing" at which point girls approach us, telling us all what can be availed of and in another room. They both decide on some lap dances and offer to get me one: "Do you one Paddy? Go on mate". I however graciously decline as I'm beginning to think the two boys are being enticed into another room as they are about to get whacked. Either way, when they entered it, I left.

    RIP the two brummie lads, maybe.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,051 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    I read on FB the other day

    "Mad night out, cant remember much but woke up with the toilet attendant from the blacker (Liz Delaneys in coolock) on my couch in his nip. WTF"

    sounds like a fun night


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,208 ✭✭✭✭Cienciano


    You do some weird things when you're drunk. I remember coming home from the pub and me and a mate thought it would be brilliant to roll home. So we lay on our sides and rolled sideways down the road. Just measured it on google earth, managed to roll 300 meters. Rolling over the speedbumps was actually quite hard.
    Waking up the next day with bruises everywhere, wondering why and and having a flashback of rolling down the road was funny.

    I also know a guy who decided to have a race home with his mate with their trousers down. One of them ripped their trousers in half.

    Was really drunk in Copper face jacks, i fell asleep and woke up in front of a TV playing Ms Congeniality 2 on a Stenaline heading to hollyhead Wales.

    Does anyone else feel like getting completely ****faced right now?

    Strangest for me would be my 18th birthday.
    Myself and a few lads went away to Roscommon for the night (Don't ask me why) and got absolutely plastered on straight vodka, pringles and dutch gold.
    Decided it would be a good idea to then head out, this is where the black-out for all of us happens.
    We all woke up the next day with blood on our heads, broken glass in our hair and ripped clothes.
    We still don't know to this day wtf happened but needless to say we got the hell out of Roscommon immediately.

    Back in 2000, when I was working in Dublin, a few of us were invited to the 21st of a work colleague and after it was over, myself and my boss ended up heading into town and drinking into the early hours in Leeson St. Anyhow, I was plastered and hopped out of the taxi on the way home a good 2 to 3 miles from where I was living in Rathmines. So I had to walk through the city centre to get home and up around Camden St. (and I still can’t quite remember how and if this even happened correctly) I was accosted by a group of lads intent on mugging me. I don’t know whether they decided I wasn’t worth it or if I got away but I did without a scratch.

    Made it back to my place, which was a basement flat, and I woke up a few hours later to hear a male voice from over the other side of the bedroom saying “morning.” Looked up and there was a Guard staring through my now broken bedroom window, which faced onto the back yard of the house. Apparently all of the down stairs flats in the house I lived in and the one next door had been broken into during the night (presumably when I was out). I had a TV, stereo etc in the flat and all they took was some loose change, about 2 or 3 quid, from the kitchen table.

    Running it a close second was when I woke up on a beach in Tenerife, with my shoes and socks missing, and spent an hour or so walking around the resort barefoot trying to find where I was staying. The last thing I remembered from the night before was myself and a friend being shuffled by two rather large bouncers into a strip club, which was full of trafficked East European women. All the cash I'd had on me from the night before was gone too - whether I'd spent it or what, who knows.

    Was on a night out in UL years ago. My swordsmith buddy once again pulled. He always did. So the girl invited us all back to her place to meet her friends etc and they were having a party. Pity that the buddy had told her we were from Belfast and were down in Limerick to "lay low" for a few months after some bother we got ourselves into with some very unpleasant people.

    Somehow, back at the house, everyone believed us. They all seemed genuinely interested and there was no sarcasm in their questions. Every now and then we would answer "cannot tell you that, might cause you trouble".

    It was good fun, but extremely tiresome. Eventually a girl arrived back, and rumbled our "story". My buddy exploded at her "we have seen brothers murdered by the UVF in front of our eyes and you dare question us", and then we left.

    Needless to say, I got no action. But that was par for the course!!

    One night out in London I ended up in Sheffield. Fell asleep on the Tube. Must have changed at Liverpool St.

    on a weekend away in London over 20 years ago, me and about 15 other lads from the north of england, most of irish desecent. we'd been out watching rugby league at wembley all day, and had been drinking for about 36 hours solid by saturday evening....

    first we are walking through Paddington, at about 8pm, when a car full of rather large black gentlemen pull up in a car next to about 6 of us and ask us "what was the rangers score today?" my friend, himself a rather large white gentlemen proceeds to shout at the top of his voice "Rangers? Rangers?? Hun bastards! Get the Semtex out of the bag there will ya Paddy!". Black fellas jump out of the car, armed with lead pipes and the likes, we're all shouting at our mate for being a prick(Queensway tube station had recently been bombed by the IRA) and after some drunken reasoning and some pushing and shoving (we found out that they wanted the Queens Park Rangers score, they found out we were drunken idiots) they invited us to a party in Shepherd's Bush.

    One hour later, we arrived at the party to find 4 naked women dancing and putting on lesbian performances, drugs everywhere and three lovely young gentlmen comparing guns and tattoos. They had neck tattoos back when nobody had neck tattoos. We shat ourselves. Drugs were being forced upon us, three of the lads could not touch drugs as they were pro sportsmen who got drug tested regularly, so the other few of us were having to "take one for the team". We were allowed to leave about two hours later, 3 of us stoned off our heads on Coke, weed, speed and ecstacy, one hallucinating, and the others still shitting their pants....

    So, we grab a taxi and head back to Bayswater, where our little dive of a hotel was. Then we decided to pop in for one last drink at the much posher hotel across the road. The hotel, though, had made the mistake of a having a swimming pool and gym attached to the late bar downstairs. Within 10 minutes the pool was filled by 6 stoned and drunk northerners, completely naked and encouraging the few female guests in the hotel to do the same. One of the lads managed to talk two middle aged women from the USA to join him in the sauna, so we left him to it. A quick look inside showed us that he was getting oral pleasure from one of the women, she must have been in her fifties are we were about 20.

    Suddenly the whole room is filled by the sound of screaming and banging on the sauna doors. Our lovely friend had decided it would be hilarious to take a dump on the sauna coals and trap the ladies inside. At this point we were told that the police had been called so the rest of us shoved all our clothes on as quick as possible and tried to do a runner out of the hotel door. But, they had locked the doors so we couldn't escape. So then it became time for a race with the security guards around the hotel. We made it to the fire escape, barged the door open and ran for freedom.

    After the that the night is a blur. All I know is that at 11am the next day I woke up in a strange hotel room in the Euston area, wearing someone else's clothes and with £10 in my pocket along with a note saying "Check out is at Noon. Go and see a doctor." No idea why i needed a doctor, until i moved that is. My ribs and arms were killing me and the bruises were coming out most impressively.

    I go down to reception to find out whose room it was and how I got there, and the morning staff have no clue how I got there, but apparently the room was paid for in cash(probably mine as I had taken a fair sum down with me) by a woman of middle eastern appearance who took me to my room and then left.

    At 12.15pm I made it back to our base in Queensway to be told that I had disappeared when we were doing a runner from the hotel and that they couldn't find me anywhere.

    Upon visiting the doctor I found that I had three broken ribs and floating bone in my elbow that looked like the signs of serious force. No idea if I got beaten up(though my face was ok), run over, fell over or what.

    But you know what? I fucking loved it. Loved the buzz of the big city. There was nothing quite like it at home. So, 3 weeks later I moved to London.

    Woke up in the backseat of my neighbours car, I must have got as far as the apartment building and thought "not climbing them bastard stairs, this'll do".

    in new york - went to a bar, then when outside having a smoke, got chatting to these american girls who were about the same age at the time - 19/20, and brought us to a PALACE of a penthouse apartment with it's own roof terrace and it had a BRIDGE indoors! anyway, they were obviously loaded - met this drug dealer called donny, and he brought a few of us back to his apartment hours later. ended up in the bathroom with one of the floozies he "lived with" where she filled me with lines of chopped up oxycontin (hillbilly heroin as it was known at the time), then as well as that, did 10+ lines of coke, a sh!t load of weed smoked and then fell home and out of a taxi back to a hostel in the depths of spanish harlem as a gang had a brawl in the street with baseball bats/sticks etc...

    there's more to the story i'm sure, but the details of which are understandably sketchy.

    I cast my mind back to nine years ago. Five lads in their twenties. As part of a world tour we took in Chile on the way.

    So out one night and having a few beers and we decide to grace the locals with our dance moves so we set off to find a taxi to take us to the nearest nightclub. That was our first mistake right there. Assuming that "nightclub" meant a "disco" and not a "knocking shop".

    We all bundled into the taxi and the guy scratched his head and headed off. We were on a winding country lane in the absolute middle of nowhere leaving the town behind us. At this point we suspected nothing.

    We pulled up to a large wooden house in the middle of nowhere and headed in. "Maybe this is how nightclubs look here" we thought. At this point we suspected nothing.

    We headed in and the sounds were pumping and thankfully there were a few others there. A group of women all dressed up like Bob the Builder. "Oh they're having a hen night. Good for them." At this point we suspected nothing.

    So we went to the bar and had a drink. And then another and then it slowly dawned on us (after the barman had to head out and get more beer in a local shop) that this was in fact a whore house.

    So we did what a respectful bunch of Irish lads would do. We got one of the lads to feign sickness and got the barman to call us a taxi.

    Idiots at best.

    nerja about 7 years ago.
    went day drinking and met this english lad who reckoned he owned a hurley factory in romania. drank the cocktail menu in some pub with him buying most of it, and the day got progressively messier and messier. Him and my friend eventually disappeared, turned out that he tried to come to him and he legged it. I ended up drinking with a less than respectable english family from leeds, including shots with their 13 year old kids. woke up the next morning in a bunker on a golf course. friend was asleep in the rental car not too far away.

    One of my stranger nights out was during rag week in UL. This is one of my only nights out where I have patchy black out memories from.

    Two of my housemates and myself went into Limerick where we found a place with a blackboard with about 20 different shot names listed on it.

    So we decide "we're getting through that entire blackboard!!" , this eventually turned into a race between the three of us.

    Next thing I know, I can't keep my balance while standing at the bar and my mouth wont speak the words that my brain is telling it to say. No more service for me :( Then the two guys who are with me follow suite.

    Then the black-outs begin.

    *black spot*

    I've arrived back at UL in a taxi and I go to pay the taxi man, "ah no... i've no money left" (said drunkenly), Taxi driver is getting pised off (and rightfully so). In my best non-drunk english, I manage a "do you take debit card"? Next thing he's doing a burnout and speeding off away from my place to take me to an ATM. (this man was seriously PO'd) so i just went back to sleep.

    *black spot*

    In my bed and I wake up to random giggling - the two guys have arrived home and have put shaving foam all over me. We have a shaving foam fight. (The appartment look awesome in the morning - smelled nice too)

    *black spot*

    we're under a pedestrian bridge in camoflague and war paint (!?) (our halloween costumes). jumping out and scaring pedestrians as they are coming back from their nights out.

    *black spot*

    we're all muddy, sopping wet, and wearing face paint and camoflage in some random girls appartment. They (2 girls) were overlooking the bridge from their balcony and giving us a heads up when people were coming.

    *black spot*

    I'm in a bed with one of said girls, somewhat engaged; the three (actually there were four people now) others burst in the door, ripped the covers off, and just stood there cheering! (we stopped what we were doing...)

    and then I dont remember much more.

    Although I'm fairly sure the taxi man took €50 off me. :mad:

    Still though, talk about second winds!
