Yes. On a similar tip, I don’t know why anyone would start a night at a venue, or choose to dj locally, where the drinks are really expensive. I’d be embarrassed inviting friends to somewhere they’d be getting ripped off.

Also asking the waiter to alter the dish so that it’s different to how it’s served on the menu. Just take it as it comes.

My sister convinced my eight year old nephew to go on one particularly terrifying ride last summer. After the ride his legs collapsed on him in terror. Took about an hour to calm him down.

When i went to uni in 2011 i stopped playing/promoting underground nights & started doing the (then newish) bottle service & student promoter type events in those expensive clubs. It was a low stress way of earning enough money to put myself through school. Safe money, but yeah maybe 90% of the music was absolutely terrible and the people were all pretty awful.
I’ve seen some sights from doing those types of events, fights, people being glassed/stabbed with broken bottles, girls being sexually assaulted by crazed, coked up booze hounds. It gives you a newfound respect for the door stewards. The amount of people that would come into the dj booth to “party with the dj” and start pouring champagne, or quite often sugary, sticky alcoholic drinks over me while i am playing, filming it for their instagram or whatever. Unreal.
Saying that, i am glad those people do have somewhere to go and aren’t all invading the clubs i would actually enjoy going to.

I used to work in a Mongolian barbecue type concept restaurant (in Acton, not very fancy). Turns out that getting the general public to create their own meals doesn’t actually work as well as getting an actual chef to do it.

Fair enough if you’re just taking the idiots money! Couldn’t agree more about the fact the more shitty venues there are the better, for the purposes of keeping those people out of the good places.

My wife and eldest daughter wanted to go on the waltzers at a fair. I asked them if they were sure as nobody else was on them and told my wife it won’t feel the same as it did when she was a kid. They were adamant so on they jumped. As they were the only ones on there the two fellas span them continuously. The girls look terrified and were hating every long minute of it. They came off in tears and shock. Erm I did say…

I passed 19 kidney stones with no pain killers (I’m a recovering opiate addict). I’ve been hit by a car and attacked with a fire extinguisher and I would rather repeat either of those experiences than pass another stone.
You should have the stone analyzed. Like me you might get lucky and be one of the small number of people who have enzyme deficient kidney stones that are treated with potassium sulfate. Once I started the sulfate I’ve never had another stone. Sorry for your experience. It’s truly awful.

I mean simply spinning around on the spot causes severe nausea within seconds nowadays. When does getting dizzy stop being fun and become debilitating?

Can relate to that. Weed just weirds me out and irriataes my chest these days. An evening of beer leaves me feeling knackered for days.
