I'm posting this having been in the "world famous" nightclub Gatecrasher for the past four hours.

This post involves both men and women so please don't see this as a "woman bashing" topic. Whilst in 'crasher' tonight with a bunch of lads and gals from my uni's hurling society (initiation tonight) there were a couple of competitions. The first being named "shag tag" in which each person had a number and you had to kiss on stage as many members of the opposite sex as you could in half an hour, the winner getting a bottle of champagne.


Prior to this was a competition in which one lad and one gal had to kiss as many men/women as possible (for five seconds) in two minutes.
When the particular woman refused to show her cleavage, they got another gal on stage on the proviso she got champagne afterwards, when she showed her chest she got nothing.

Maybe it's me but I see this as being wrong on so many levels.

What is happening to people today?
Did this happen when my fellow forumites were younger?

Let me see if I've got this straight Martin? You are disgusted because a woman was bribed to show her cleavage with champagne or because she didn't get any champagne afterwards?

If the former then get used to it, that's what women do. If the latter then good, serves her right for not giving the lads a swatch for free.
 
At what point did you decide that this sort of behaviour wasn't acceptable to you, Martin? After the first hour? The second, the third, or the fourth? :D Come on, now. If you feel that circumstances are making you uncomfortable, for whatever reason, make your goodbyes and go where you DO feel comfortable, even if that's just home.

There are plenty of people, not necessarily young, either, who'll whip off their tops or their pants to show what lies beneath - and being young is no guarantee that what's there is pretty or desirable, either. It's part of an 'anything goes' type of atmosphere in certain places, with certain people. And often booze is a factor in the behaviour. If it's not your type of thing (and there's no rule to say that because you're young, it has to be), then just swerve it.
 
It was about 1.30am when I decided such behaviour was wrong on many levels. Think the queue for the bar got me thinking a fair bit more than I normally do in Gatecrasher.

Not sure why it's wrong really Simmo, it's up to them what they do.

I left for the Kebab Shop shortly after Kri, I did feel more comfortable
there.
 
One Saturday evening at 9pm in the mid nineties I ran b****ck naked from the Fizzog and Firkin pub in Hereford town centre 200 metres up to the main square and back for two pints of the cider that the landlord had offered me in the form of a bet. He was so amazed he gave me three pints. This sort of thing goes on all the time.
 
My day was many years ago and I think things have worsened dramatically thanks to stupid landlords offering youngsters such challenges, Club 18-30 holidays, etc., and TV hasn't helped by showing them to an audience of voyeurs.

I'm not convinced if youngsters want to demean themselves in front of their peers they should be encouraged to think it's OK and I'm sure there was no shortage of older people in attendance trying to act younger because they missed out.

Would they have done it if their parents were in the audience?
 
Irish Stamp - soon, my friend, you will be the new Ardross amongst us all. Your moderating days are in the future, I'm sure.

Sniff, it's a shame to see them grow up so fast...
 
The quality of the shag tag wasn't up to the standards they have at Kingdom. It's normally just grab any member of the opposite sex and kiss in front of the DJ, he'll take your number and do a tally chart.
 
In my dim & distant youth, I once won a bottle of champagne at a club in Newmarket for being the "Best Undressed Woman"
 
Can't remember a whole lot about it to be honest but I am told that I stood there bravely revealing myself in a basque, sussies, fishnets & stillettos! :o

I had comments for months afterwards complimenting me on my outfit - oh the folly of youth!
 
You need photos? I think some things are best left to the imagination (we could do with a lecherous emoticon).
 
Out again tonight so no doubt there will be yet more incite into what happens in the clubs of the United Kingdom later on.
 
I had to entertain some friends of our company last night and we ended up in Stringfellows. I was so appalled at the expanse of naked flesh on display that I left shortly before closing :angry:
 
I can assure you Grey that they were neither stringy, nor fellas (at least what I could accidentally see from behind my hands); oh, the horror!
