Thought I might as well start a thread on this one.

So far it's me and lou33, chinchilla, possibly FF and possibly SB.

Any takers?

Suppose I should give more details!

This is a child-free, guaranteed to be wild and drunken night in Colchester (Essex). Pub first then 80s night at a local club.

I've already got a houseful that night so I can't offer accommodation I'm afraid, but I could certainly assist with arranging accommodation for any distant mumsnetters!

I'd like to come, if everything else permits, but only if I can be a wimp and skip the club, ok?

Let me just add, this is not a cheesy club with medallion men. It's at Colchester Arts Centre, which is more of a down-at-heel bohemian slightly grungey type establishment. Dress code is anything you like.

I have an impecable record to uphold, Spacemonkey; have never been to a club, so why ruin my perfect stretch, now?!
Oh, I reckon it will be unpleasantly loud music, bare drunk midriffs, flashing lights, nowhere to sit, shouting to hold a conversation, too hot -- and believe me, you do not want me to bare my midriff right now.

trust me, my midriff will never see the light of day again

I don't ordinarily like clubs, but this one is fun and you get a good mix of studenty types in there rather than 14 yr olds and medallion men

I will not be bearing any of my flabby midriff either...so feel free to come and shake your 'thang' with us Zebra

No the middle area never sees light of day, that is true.

lou33 · 08/03/2004 10:28

I'm saying nothing more on the subject

Why is there no big blowing rasberry icon on here? Or a mooning one come to that?

lou33 · 08/03/2004 10:35

Actually, my final say on the subject is......

WOW!!!!!

Crunchie · 08/03/2004 10:56

Me me me me, I wanna come Far better than the zoo anyday

I was thinking it was so long ago when we did the zoo and I've bumped into Chinchilla in all sorts of odd places ! Like Asda

I just need to sort the overnight babysitter thing as DH will be working. BTW is it DH free?? I only ask as DH will be around the corner and will finish work around 10.30 - 11.00pm

lou33 · 08/03/2004 14:02

Bring him if you want Crunchie,it's up to you. Is he at the Mercury?

Crunchie · 08/03/2004 14:24

Yeah, they are doing Macbeth if you fancy it

lou33 · 08/03/2004 15:36

I used to work there.

Crunchie · 14/03/2004 11:38

SPACEMONKEY ARE YOU THERE??

There I was last night, minding my own business - going for an indian takeaway - listening to Dream 100 for a few minutes... and what do I hear, YOUR NAME!!

How bizarre, apparently you didn't know the presenter had been on holiday!! The wierdest thing is I don't usually listen to Dream 100
