Gen X'ers roll up, put those dancing shoes on and glitter on your face.....the night is about to begin 😜

Twenty pounds in your purse which will pay for your drinks all night, your Silk Cut from the machine and your taxi home (unless you cop off)

Rhythm of the Night by Corona is playing as you enter the club.... straight to the dancefloor 💃

Mansfield on a Friday or Saturday night, PVC leather effect trousers, tiger print, chicken fillet bra-fillers, gold glitter and silver stars. Vodka or Pernod and Coke, Paul Van Dyk For An Angel.

Always had work in the morning. I think it'd actually kill me these days.

Half the fun was convincing the bouncers you were 18 🫣

And trying to sneak home without waking your parents 🤫

Sneaking in wasn't a problem Northern niters finished 8am then travel home from where ever.
The problem was hiding those massive pupils and feigning fatigue .

I was thrown out of Yates on my 18th birthday for looking underage. I was furious because I'd been going in for a year and a half before that with no trouble at all!

While gurning and chewing your inner cheek off, oscillating between euphoria and filthy anxiety!!!

fucking brilliant!!!!

Make best friends in the toilets. If you got upset there'd be a room full of women of all ages loving you better and telling you the bastard wasn't worth it.

Gosh yes, and you wouldn't feel like eating for days. Until the Tuesday when your appetite came back 😅 Billy was the Ozempic of the 90s lol.

I had an absolutely cracking figure then and it was all down to cigarettes, vodka and phet.

Methol ciggies! Now that’s a blast from the past.
A night at the pub was drinking Caffreys - liquid anaesthetic. What the hell was in that stuff?

Spent my 90s clubbing in Birmingham and Nottingham. Can’t remember any of the names of clubs now.

Wobble?

Drivingmissrangey · 06/12/2025 22:10

Me too, I was like Kate Moss. Two Ryvitas a day and I thought I was fat.

Ah the 90s ... aerobics and eating disorders 😂

Sunday nights…66p for a bottle of VK. Music from all the ages. We lived our best lives.
Chuck in Wednesday 80’s night…80p for a shot and mixer. 80’s music (in the 90’s). Nothing will ever be this good. Ever.
