Many's The Time...
When I've been out to one or t'other of the nightclubs in Newport (generally the Meze lounge, seeing as it was one of the few that didn't I.D. before 8 when I was 16) and come away smashed, in a bad mood with someone elses drink all over me. Occasionally bleeding.

This was about 4 years ago when I used to get dragged clubbing with my ex and all his friends, which usually resulted in me being the only girl. Inevitably, the night would go like this:

1. Go to the then-boyfriends house and get ready
2. Leave for train station in car with boyfriend and 3 of his friends.
3. Catch train, usually by the skin of our teeth
4. Get to Newport, enter club before the bouncers went on the door. (Once or twice we misjudged the timing and got there as the bouncer came on the door. Despite being the only under-age one, I never got I.D'd. Hurray for cleavage.)
5. Get in, order about 6 pitchers of Sex on the Beach (my ex did cocktails when he was out, never beer. Weeeeird.)
6. Get smashed on numerous pints of sticky, brightly-coloured booze.
7. Blazing argument with ex about how I'm flirting with his friends (while he's off dancing with randoms), chatting up the bar staff (while I'm getting him another drink) etc.
8. Ex picks up drink and proceeds to dump it over my head (ususally Sex on the Beach, that stuff is a bastard to get out if it stains)
9. Cue me storming off to the toilets to clean up and salvage my makeup, followed by phonecalls and texts in the "where are you, I'm sorry" vein.

Step 8 was sometimes replaced with having a handful of booze-filled ice chucked down my top (front or back) or similar, but that's pretty much how it went.

After about two trips of being the only girl, I managed to drag another girl-friend along, and then another with her boyfriend, so that I had someone to talk to that had never played Warhammer. This obviously led to lesbian accusations.

I have no idea why I stayed with that guy so long, I really don't. Still, I got free booze every week.

Apologies for length? You betcha.
