This weekend was lovely. Jay wondered on Friday if I fancied Llandudno “Or else you are gay”. Not wanting my hetrosexuality to be brought into question, plus I fancied to share some stories, I said yes.
We bitched, complained, laughed and joked like we usually do. However, one thing we did notice and comment on was how busy Llandudno was. Or how it wasn’t. Considering it was a Friday night, with nothing major on TV, there were very few people out. We usually meet people who we know when we’re out, and we didn’t see anybody. We just thought it was one of those things though, and we didn’t let it spoil my night.
It completely puzzled us, why was it so quiet? Considering the media says that we as Brits drink far too much, you’d have a hard time to see it last weekend.
Did you go out this weekend? Was it quiet? Any idea why it would be? It just completely perplexed us!

Well, I haven’t actually been out in town for a little while because I’ve had birthday parties every weekend. I don’t ever go out Friday’s though because I have to start work at 8:30 am every Saturday.
But I vaguely remember getting home from a mates 21st last Saturday… and the next like… 5 weekends are completely booked out. Crazy time of year. Uni is all over now too… so in Australia expect that most pubs will be packed out. Ed on Tuesday, HQ on Wednesday, Havey then Marble on Thursday, anywhere Friday, anywhere Saturday, The Grand on Sunday (if you can get in… massive lines) otherwise the Ox.
Haven’t found anywhere for Mondays though…
Middle of november – its cold, dark, wet, dank and miserable, and its not yet the xmas party season. People saving their assess by getting fucked at home.
Or at least, thats my excuse.
Friday was reasonably quiet but I was too drunk to notice! Saturday wasn’t too bad – zizzi’s was fuill but the penny wasn’t exactly overflowing, I didn’t make it to spoons I was running on about 3 hours sleep!
Yes, it’s the old ‘pentultimate weekend of the month’ chestnut. We notice it a lot around here too. People tend to get paid at the end of the last week of the month, so by the time the penultimate week of the next month rolls around, they have no money left. It starts to settle down in the run up to Christmas as well, as you’d expect, so it’s statistically the quietest weekend of the year, probably. Or maybe I just made that up.
I was out on Friday and Saturday. I was in a club with Kimberley from Girls Aloud on Saturday. There were paparazzi everywhere. All very surreal.
What Tom said. Everyone is holding out another 2 weeks. Go back then, bet you notice the difference.
Clapham was quite busy on Friday, though I have no idea how busy it is normally, so hard to compare.
I thought it was the Irish who drank too much?
I know at uni it’s a lot quieter due to all the impending deadlines, but come the Christmas vacation all the students will be out getting shit faced in their locals I bet (well I know I will anyway..)
