It’s time for another overly delayed nightclub review! YAY! HIGH FIVE! AWESOME. Warning: This review is a tad more ranty than I had intended. But you’ll see why.
Club: GHQ
Night: Wednesday. Because apparently that’s straight night. And it was definitely straight night because it was filled with cunts.
Reason for going out: I was bored, I’m an alcoholic and some of Allys mates wanted to go out and I take very little convincing.
Wingmen: Beebz and Ally. Both of who were truly awful that evening. Ally because he was dragged out and wasn’t in the mood (and like I’ve said before, Ally is too lovely to ever be a good wingman. He‘s just too friendly and innocent and wants someone to watch shit telly with and talk to and snuggle. And if I ever have that, I want you to shoot me in the face with a horse. Relationships before 30 are pointless, selfish and moronic. But that‘s a different rant for a different time). And Beebz because he already had his tongue down a friend of a friends throat. The girl was lucky there aren’t any calories in saliva. Because if there was, Beebz would have had to have rolled her into bed and he could’ve slept inside of her like Han Solo does in that Star Wars movie.
Other peeps - Some of Allys workmates. And then the girl whose face Beebz clearly found utterly delicious. It was almost as if he’d taken some weird version of ecstasy which meant he chewed her face off. At points it was like he was going down on her… but on her face.
Pre-drinks: Just at the flat drinking what ever left over shit we had from house parties.
What were the bouncers like: Really intimidating. Which they need to be, obviously, but this may have been a tad much. I wouldn’t have been surprised if the way they I.D.ed people was to rip the head off of a 17 year old and then just compared that face to yours. If you look older than the severed head, COME ON IN! Party and have some fun. But if you look younger… Well, you just become the new comparison head for the rest of the night. Like a really really depraved, disgusting version of the Price is Right. “HIGHER! LOWER! OH GOD! PLEASE DON’T!”
We almost weren’t allowed in, because we’re not students. I don’t understand this at nightclubs! So what if I’m not a student! I don’t have what students have! Optimism and debt. Let me the fuck in.
And they did actually let me in, so I can’t really complain.
What were the girls like: I felt really sorry for the girls at straight night at GHQ. They have obviously gone to GHQ on the normal, fun-filled gay nights. Which means they have to wear their best clothes, because if a gay does not like what your wearing, he will tell you. I know this because I know Craig Hill very well. And we were in Australia once and I didn’t own any shorts (because I live in Scotland). So I decided to just wear my swimming trunks everywhere. Apparently this is a faux pas, I had no idea. My dad always did it and he’s married! So clearly the ladies love it.
But no. Craig invited me to lunch in Sydney and I answered my hotel door in my swimming trunks. He reacted as if George Michael and Elton John had suddenly decided to become straight and then both of them then decided to beat Madonna to death with Kylie Minogue. Honestly, no one has ever looked at me with such disgust in my entire life. So he immediately took me out and made me buy new shorts because I was apparently “making the gay baby Jesus cry”
Anyway, the girls go ahead and put all this effort into making themselves look as good as they can for the usual company of gay men, only to have their efforts viewed by a bunch of straight, rugby playing, boat rowing, beer-chugging, parent-disappointing, posh popped-collar-on-a-pink shirt cunts. That’s a waste of time. Honestly, Helen Keller would show more appreciation for their dress sense. But I noticed girls, and you all looked lovely! But you obviously didn’t notice me, because I’m not like the guys that go to GHQ straight night, and I’m about to explain that type of guy.
What were the guys like: CUNTS CUNTS CUNTS CUNTS CUNTS. Jesus titty fucking Christ cunts. They were so cunty that I could search the world to find the person who was most offended by the word “cunt”, like Ghandi or something, bring him to GHQ straight night. And the whole time he’d be talking to me going “There is just no need for that sort of language young Daniel. It is unnecessary and hurtful. One must learn to express themselves in other ways than OH MY FUCKING WHO-EVER-I-BELIEVE-IN! WHY IS EVERY CUNT IN HERE WEARING JACK WILLS AND HOLLISTER? THANK GOD THERE AND NO GAYS IN TONIGHT. THEY WOULD DIE OF SHAME! WHAT A BUNCH OF ATROCIOUS CUNTS” and then he would kill himself. That bad.
It made me embarrassed to be a man. Now before I go into this rant let me also just
clarify some of the guys were really nice. I met at least 5 guys who I had a decent laugh with and we parted ways. But the rest of these shallow fucks can go and choke on their Abercrombie and Fitch jumpers stained with their own semen, tears and hair wax.
WHY DO THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME!?!?! WHY!?! Honestly, if these “Lads” were a race then I would happily become the worlds biggest racist. I’d be the new Hitler. And so would the rest of the world. They have the same hairstyle. You know that hairstyle that makes it look like it’s styled on Cameron Diaz in There’s something about Mary but the person who styled it was actually a monkey with diarrhoea and Parkinsons.
They were the same shit “arty” tight fitting shirts to show off their pointlessly big arms. WHY ARE THEY THAT BIG!? Arms don’t need to be that big. It’s 2012, we don’t find wars with swords anymore! How bout you go work on something other than your triceps or biceps. Like your English, manners and respect you Neanderthal fuck.
In fact no… no. You’re not even Neanderthal, Neanderthals were a step forward in the evolution of man. They were necessary. You are not. You are a step backwards. If you had anything to do with our evolution we’d all be the same shade of shit, with hair that naturally sperms itself and arms so big we could never reach our tiny penises and therefore we couldn’t reproduce and we’d die out as a race but not before spending every penny we have on the same shit, ill-fitting, popped-collar shirt that makes me look like those spitting dinosaurs from Jurassic Park. But only if those dinosaurs had daddy issues and were also massive cunts.
Highlight of the night: Meeting some guys that were actually sound. They restored my faith in my gender and I would like to apologise to any girl that has ever had to deal with a “Lad”. And to any girl who has ever slept with a “Lad” may I just say, fuck you, you are dooming this earth.
Lowlight of the night: As I’ve mentioned before, I like being nice when I’m in nightclubs. Heck, I like being nice most of the time. It’s just better. People smile at me, I smile back, smiling releases happy endorphins in my brain or something and I have a pretty awesome day.
So me and Beebz had just bought 3 drinks, one for each of us and a third for Ally who was at the loo. Me and Beebz were just standing around sheepishly as always, looking at the pretty ladies and then running away when ever an opportunity rose. We out our drinks on a table and started chatting. Just then a guy came up to us and asked “Do you know what time this club shuts.” Now, this is a stupid question. All nightclubs shut at 3, except during the Fringe when they shut at 5. Everybody knows this, what a moron. But I didn’t say that, because I’m nice. So we both replied “Yeh mate. It shuts at 3” and smiled. He smiled back “Cheers guys!” and we high fived and me and Beebz felt good because we had just helped out a fellow human being. We felt really good! Right until the point were we turned around to find out that he had only been talking to us so that his mate could steal our drinks… REALLY DUDE!?!?!? FUCKING REALLY?!?! Who does that!? Nobody. Nobody does that. I’ve done a poll of everyone in the world and nobody fucking does that. What’s worse, THEY WERE £1 DRINKS! A QUID! A FUCKING QUID! And you stole that from me? Really? I don’t mind, I honestly don’t. You clearly needed that drink more than I did. But if you’re that short of cash at least have the decency to do what every other decent person does and beg at the side of the street. OR MAYBE YOU COULD HAVE AFFORDED IT IF YOU HADN’T SPENT £100 ON A SHIRT! IT WAS A PLAIN WHITE SHIRT THAT COST £100!! HAVE YOU NEVER HEARD OF GEORGE!?!?! ITS IN ASDA! BEFORE THE VEGETABLES!
Did you pull: NO! I was too annoyed and my wingmen were shit. Also I was clearly not the type of guy that the girls in that club go for.
Was it busy: Very. It was impossible to get served. I’m an honest guy and if I’m at the bar and someone has been there longer than me, I’ll point them out to get served. But I’m also a fairly weak person, I have no upper body strength (or lower) so I couldn’t elbow my way to the front like the other douche bags who clearly have no problem being that aggressive with other men because they play rugby and their uncles drink a lot.
What were the bar staff/door staff like: They were actually really nice. I had a good laugh with one of the gay bartenders. And two of the female ones always smiled. And that goes a long way.
What was the music like: I can’t remember. Probably good.
Would you go back: No. I’d probably go back on the gay nights though. The club itself is quite nice and the staff are sound. So I can imagine it’s a brilliant night when you’re just surrounded by gay men who want to bum you instead of fight you. That’d be a waaayyyy better night.
Rating out of 10: I’m really sorry but it’s gonna be a 3. And it’s a shame. The ladies were beautiful, the music was great, the doormen weren’t cunts, the staff were friendly and the drinks were £1. So that’s outstanding and I can see why it gets so busy. Unfortunately it gets busy with cunts.
So yeah. Sorry that review was a bit rantier than normal. But it got me angry. If you have any suggestions of where I should go next and on what night just tweet me @daniel_sloss. LOVE YOU
