Ever go to 5th Av?
Or is that after your time?
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Tue 26 Jan 2010, 15:31, 1 reply, 16 years ago)

I'm not that fucking old!
I did go to 5th Ave, I went there last October, it was strange as I didn't know any of the music and of course it wasn't full of ciggarette smoke.

christ I'd forgotten about that
I haven't been in a club since the smoking ban.

They must be extra shit now.

The Venue
on Whitworth Street used to be pretty good. I used to go to The Roadhouse a fair bit as well.

when was that?
neither of those sound familiar

I used to go to Welsh Club (Clwb Ifor Bach) or Metros.

First time in Welsh club, I entered the top floor, they were playing Zeppelin, beer was £1 a bottle and they were projecting Roger Ramjet on the walls. Fucking awesome.

Metros used to be £1.50 for a pint of stella. £5 for a big jug of vodka and red bull and they did free toast after 1am

I don't know these places
Cos my flatmates are mainstream and like to go to shitty places like Opus and the birdcage :(

Well...........
I last went to the Venue about 10 years ago. The Roadhouse is still there www.theroadhouselive.co.uk/

EDIT: www.thevenuenightclub.co.uk. I'm sure it wasn't here when I was a lad :0)

I remembered another haunt: Muttz Nutz - that was quite 'grungey' and cheap!

The Roadhouse is fuckin ace!
it's like a large basement and is everything you'd expect from a decent live band type bar

I'm still a horrible teenager.
You're all old to me. I bet they played Killing in the Name at least once
That's my favourite club. Closet to my sort of music as you can get in a club, and lots of fringe-sporting emo boys in check shirts for me to take my pick of.

That's on my list!
I don't start til one on tuesdays this semester, so I shall definitely be visiting there.

Whatever's the matter?

(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Tue 26 Jan 2010, 15:52, Reply)

I'm not sure about bgb but the term "semester" is pretty shit.

(PsychoChomp, Tue 26 Jan 2010, 15:54, Reply)

Its what they're called now.
We don't have terms cos there are only two.
Its shitty and american, I know.
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Tue 26 Jan 2010, 15:56, Reply)

Same when I was at uni but the head of the course refused to call them semesters
and called them "long terms".
(PsychoChomp, Tue 26 Jan 2010, 15:59, Reply)

It also doesn't make any sense
it means you have 12 straight weeks of teaching before christmas, which makes it hard to concentrate by the end, then you have exams straight after christmas, which is also shit, then you have more teaching, then you have to do as much revision for your second set of exams during easter, but you haven't actually been taught everything you need yet as the third "term" involves teaching the end of the second "semester" then you have your final exams with no break in between to revise the last stuff you have been taught.

On the plus side, you get a fantastically long summer holiday. I went to Croatia once.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 26 Jan 2010, 16:01, Reply)

I got round this problem by doing very little work or revision
that way it didn't matter at all.

Same here.

I've not heard that slang before.

My sister got a 'Fred Durst'
but it was in Sports Science so she is shunned by the rest of the family.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 26 Jan 2010, 16:32, Reply)

And breathe.
Its worth it for the summer holiday.
I shall get round this in the same way I've gotten round the revision for every exam since my GCSEs.

Piss about on here.
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Tue 26 Jan 2010, 16:04, Reply)

a wise decision
don't let work get in the way of not doing anything meaningful. You'll be nicely set up for getting a job after uni.

It's true
it's not like her vagina is going to forget what it's for is it.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 26 Jan 2010, 16:08, Reply)

What?
I don't quite understand this.
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Tue 26 Jan 2010, 16:09, Reply)

I was being exceptionally crude and offensive
in suggesting that as an attractive woman it makes no difference what you learn at Uni as you will always have a career in prostitution if you want it.

No offence mind!

None taken!
You have a point.
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Tue 26 Jan 2010, 16:14, Reply)

it seems unlikely
although there is precedent. TGB's vagina thinks it is this place:

It's ok
I've just realised that Mondays isn't grab a granny night at the Ritz. Carry on.

What day IS grab-a -granny night?

(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Tue 26 Jan 2010, 15:59, Reply)

Whatever night BGB turns up.
