Raising money for charity's thirsty work...
When I was at uni, my girlfriend was into all that raising-and-giving/charity stuff. I never quite understood what it was all about, but I'd do things with her because that's what nice boyfriends do.

So, one night, we were going round a nightclub (Ziggys in York - for those in the know) collecting money for some underprivileged children or something but we came up with the fantastic idea that we should just pay for our drinks from the bucket of money we were collecting, in a 'this is our wage' kind of way. We spent about 80% of what we collected.

The dirty looks we got from the bar-staff haunt me to this day. As does the thought that anybody who asks me for money for charity is actually just going to spend it on Stella... It put me off charity for life.

If sweaty clubs are your thing, you should try Klute in Durham.
Voted 2nd worst in Europe, then the 1st burnt down.

Is that the one near McDonalds
next to a dodgy pizza place? If so, I've been there and know exactly how bad it is! Almost as bad as "Sloanes" in Taunton.
