I'm just home from a night out. Spent less than a tenner and won £20, so I'm better off than I was before I went out. If only I could perfect that on a larger scale I'd be all set. Quiz nights are the new rock 'n' roll :wink:

I'm in Liverpool for the weekend and will spend considerably less on a bevvy session than I would in Edinburgh.
While the festival was on I ended up in the slug and Lettuce in George street, not my choice, however I went for a pee, while in the stall I got a text so replied, when I came out there was a bouncer there waiting on me, "what were you doing in there?", a pee, "no you weren't" aye I was, he basically told me I was taking coke(which I've never done in my life) and it was clear as day I was on something, thing was I hadn't even been drinking, it's good to know my natural state is that of a coke heid :faf:
Anyway, I told him if he suspected me of taking or having drugs he could phone the police and I'd happily be searched by them or take a drug test but that once I passed I wanted an apology, he backed down and told me he had his eye on me
Meanwhile there were countless people stoating about clearly out their nut that Columbo didn't even blink twice at, maybe he just didn't like the look of me
I didn't say they were allowing it to happen in front of them or even turning a blind eye to it. This was a few years ago in the calton studios, everyone was searched when entering and if drugs were found they weren't allowed in. They just didn't go around trying to catch people once they were in the club.
Were you in the roseburn after a derby when I got kicked out for taking coke? I was doing a pee and a couple of guys doing lines in the cubicle. A bouncer was waiting at the door when we all left the toilet at the same time coincidentally. The guy said all out now, I know what you were doing. I protested my innocence and even the 2 lads who willingly left said to him I wasn't with them but he still chucked us all out the side door.
I then walked back in the front door and Sat back to my pint. A little while later same bouncer clocked me and threw us all out, I'm sure you said were just leaving this ****hole anyway, and we carried on the carnage elsewhere.
I was in Edinburgh last week and went out for a meal and a few drinks and was surprised at how cheap it was. A curry, five pints and a double single malt, just checked my bank account and it was only Euro 16.35 :wink:
Par for the course with most bouncers in my experience. More concerned with vendettas against people they don't like the look off than doing their job.
A few years back I was out and hadn't touched a single drop of alcohol or taken any other intoxicating substance. Bouncer said I wasn't getting in because I was 'too drunk' when I questioned that he said it was because I was 'looking like trouble' then finally because I looked 'like a ****'. A couple of days later he put a picture of me on his Facebook page, that he took with his phone whilst working, asking if anyone knew who I was because he was going to '**** me up'. I then got a charming message from him telling me he hoped I got AIDS.
I'm still bemused by the whole thing now as I didn't know the guy, didn't speak to him for more than 3 minutes and to all intents and purposes just accepted his decision.
Went out last night in Dunfermline and spent £50 in the pub and then 2 x £15 taxis.

I was in TGI Fridays years ago with mixed company, unknown to me 2 of the guys were on the marching powder, I went to the toilet and was sitting on the throne with the denims around my ankles when the door was force-ably opened. The duty manageress and a male member of staff (no bouncers apparently) were standing there as I hurriedly pinched one off. They were very apologetic and I wasn't too excited about the whole affair, I accepted their apology and explained that I work in an industry where we have a fair bit of drug screening so apart from the alcohol I was clean. Upshot was we got a free round of drinks for the distress and those on the nose candy were well warned!
Just reading through this thread and Im glad I dont drink at all now.
When I first started drinking a regular Sunday evening session after playing fitba Sunday afternoon was 5 pints of Light and a bag o chips for a quid. Pint of Light was 18p.
All depends on what you're into/ where you go.
Can be anything from 20 quid for a few pints and a chippy on a Sunday afternoon to a minimum 200 easy on a night in town.
Went out last nite, 7 pints and a taxi home and had change of £20. £2 a pint 🍻 of tetleys bitter. 🍻🍻👍
In Edinburgh, generally 60-80 quid.
In Zürich, let's not even go there....
If I'm going out with the lads to watch soccer Saturday or a couple of games on the Sunday I'll only ever take £40 and that'll cover a taxi and chippy at the end of the day.
When I used to go out a few years ago £80 was a minimum and that doesn't include the drink we'd buy and drink in the house before heading out.
I remember my mates telling me in about 94 that to go up the town with them all I'd need would be £11. That included a carry out before goign to a club, free entry into a club before eleven, drinks in the venue and walk home.
£11 would get nothing nowadays!
In Vegas recently and noticed that there's tonnes of happy hour offers on the go. Am I right in thinking they're scrapped in Scotland?
I went on a night out on the Friday night, got home half an hour before leaving for my bus then straight out after the game - was terrified to check my bank balance on the Monday but was well worth every penny :thumbsup:
Between the friday, the match and parade I'd say I was about £350-400 all in. Spent less in effin Copenhagen
