Don't try this at home - it's better in a pub, but still don't
When I was 18 I frequented Nottingham Rock City. For those of you unfamiliar you'll quickly find that sex in the toilets is not so much a daring act of rebellion as part of the T&C of entry. Whereas in most of the country, the act of mating involves buying someone a drink followed by "sexay" dancing or, if you're really unlucky, conversation, at Rock City it's as simple as locking eyes with someone. If they look back, you're in. It really is that simple.

With this in mind, and much beer in my belly, a friend of mine bet me a drink that I wouldn't try what remains the most appalling chat-up line I've ever heard, on a real person, in real life and everything. It pains me to admit I did this, even so long ago.

Me: *makes come-hither motion at girl*
Girl: *approaches, foolishly*
Me: I made you come with one finger - imagine what I could do with two!
Girl *slaps, really quite fucking hard*

Amazing how quickly alcohol removes the stench of shame when you're 18. Amazing how long it clings to you once you sober up

Length? 13 years, and I still feel like a dick

I've been to Rock City at least half a dozen times
Women are obviously very good at avoiding eye contact.

It may have changed since I was 18
It has been a while. I have it on good authority that it "went Emo"

Rock City
Great venue, but you really do need to get your eyes tested.

Mens' or ladies' toilets?
The mens' had a 4" deep puddle of piss throughout, can't see many ladies wanting to get it on in there.

Then again, this is Rock City we're talking about...

I stopped going when they started playing the music I like downstairs.
