Drunk thread - now with added hangovers!

--- Quote from: Barmymoo on 28 Sep 2013, 15:24 ---It is kind of weird and slightly problematic how many insulting names are also euphemisms for genitalia. That thought struck me when reading your post but isn't specifically intended as a criticism of it (or at least, no more than any other post using those words).

Wow, you're right. I don't think I've ever used that many euphemisms before in a sentence. It might be that I'm subconsciously still reeling from the overtly sexual nature of the place (it's a "Chicagos", have you heard of them?) - girls on podiums in hotpants and bras playing with fire, girls on 6ft stilts with skirts not even covering their crotch. One girl came around asking for shots, again with the bra out/short skirt, and she said that men just touch and grope her, and it's disgusting, and it's not even a well paid job. And I generally don't like drunks getting in my face, propositioning fights, or even asking about one's sexuality as it doesn't matter at all. The Topman/Jack Wills elite were out in force and hopefully this will be the last time I rub shoulders with them en masse.
You're right to criticise, I should probably tone down the swearing generally, and I try not to use the c-word, but you know, this is the internet and all that.
Barmymoo:
I wasn't really criticising, I simply was caught by the fact that it is a fairly common thing and your post was a good example of it. But that bar sounds disgusting. How did you end up at it? Also, "this is the internet" isn't really an acceptable reason to behave less well than you would elsewhere...
Lupercal:
You're entirely right to criticise! I'm a Literature graduate, I should be able to do better than "twat".
Here is a picture of what I'm talking about. I'm guessing this is ok to post?

We ended up there because I was taking someone else's advice and it was the cheapest place to go for the students/unemployed in our group. I didn't realise that it was going to be such a lewd place, and I won't be going there again. Also, the drinks were made from cheap spirits and the beer was watered down. It's now on the blacklist.
I know, I don't think changing one's behaviour is acceptable, but somehow writing a swear word (or reading it in print) seems better than actually verbalising it; and I'd argue that our online personalities are slightly different to our real-life perceptions of ourselves. The fact that rape and death threats are common on Twitter give a strong argument to keeping your head about you when posting online.
Barmymoo:
Oh I agree that people are often different online than in real life - online, I talk a lot more about serious things and quite a lot less about kitties and babies (I prefer online me, to be honest) - but often people use it as an excuse to do stupid stuff. I was just thinking aloud really.
That is the weirdest thing, is that girl one of the waitresses? Why is she on fire?
GarandMarine:
Shit I've heard of working hard for your tips but being on fire seems a bit OTT.
I kinda want to go to this bar just to see what the fuck is going on.
