    If you like going to a club then go don't bother your hole on what others (esp teenagers think)

    I'm 42 married 3 kids. I go out once every month or so on the lash and end up in a club/venue.
    had the eldest (17 ) with me a few times lately. good times.

    When I lived in the UK, I was shocked at the number of parent/child combinations that would be out on any given Saturday night. Stags/Hens, there is some reason to expect it, but this would be regular sat night excursions.

    What was weird about it was the near constant attempt by the older person to have the same fashion as the younger. Lads clearly in their late 40's with tight t-shirts/jeans, gold necklace and copious amounts of hair gel. Something weird and yet fascinating about it.

    If you hear One Direction being played on a night out you are at a teenage disco, not a nightclub!!

    I’m 30, was in da club the other night and while standing there with two g&t’s in hand in the middle of the dance floor, I had a flashback to a better time. The year is 2012 and I’m buzzing off people, having the best time ever, having chats, spoofing and just otherwise, loving life. One Direction What Makes you Beautiful playing following another Chris Brown belter. Life is good. But then I had a realization that life has moved on, felt so sad. Would do anything to go back to those days.

    30 is a weird one, to me I don’t feel old but definitely feel I’m pushing on. Nobody really says to you anymore that ‘ah god sure aren’t you so young’. Drinking and going out is always a good buzz but it’s **** that can still enjoy something but just feel out of the loop. Looks like the future is a dank spot in the corner of some old man boozer. Welcome to adulthood.

    You were enjoying one direction at 23?

    You are never too old to do what makes you happy. So what if you are in your forties and going to clubs to pick up men or women. Or wanting to get off your face on drugs. If that's your thing then why the hell not.

    The last time I was in an actual nightclub was about 3/5 years ago. Place was half empty and my friend and myself were definitely the oldest there. Apart from the bouncers who came in handy for a flirt :D

    What do people actually mean by clubs though? There aren't many in Dublin that I know of, I mean techno nights etc. I don't think going to some late bar on Wexford st is clubbing is it? I'm 39 and would be out late regularly, with other people my age and older, and younger mind. Where do people go to take yokes these days with good music?

    Jam Park?

    I was out at it a few weeks ago at Jeff Mill's, and I'm 39 and had a great time...

    A young looking 39, okay? :P

    I had to google that - so that's what the wright place turned into? I was in that place once before it turned into its current incarnation and it was like being in an episode of Geordie Shore. All tattoos and fake tan and muscles. What kind of crowd go there now?
    I always thought of Swords as the Essex of Dublin.

    If you enjoy something and it doesn't **** over anyone else I see no reason you shouldn't do it.

    Oh I like this caveat. :)

    Would you lie about your age? Probably get less women, but I guess that's grand.

    As you get older, they're prescribed for you and you are frowned upon if you don't take them!

    It's completely different now, seems to be a much nicer crowd attending now, I was in it myself for a work Xmas party when it was the previous venue and it was exactly as you are describing, the soundsystem is fantastic and the acts booked so far seem very solid, couple that with a 24 hour 41 bus to Swords and it could work out very well for all....

    To my ballroom where my harem of young nubile beauties will rub your back and feed you vodka and melon ice cubes via French kissies and rub your back. They will whisper in your ear and hold your drink while you dance like an adolescent to sublime House beats whilst inhaling balloons filled with vicks vaporub and toke on ching ching till your brain fills up with so much dopamine you think you have died and arrived in heaven.
