| Quote Standee="Standee"Quote Standee="Locko's Luck"Me and the wife went into the city centre on a Friday night for the Heritage Weekend. We walked back towards the station at 12.o.clock and it was shut! Not even a taxi. The city centre was absolutely dead, on a Friday night that takes some believing.'" That's the thing though, Princess Ave would probably have been busy, there's a finite number of people with the cash and desire to go out on a weekend, when I first started going out it was all around the Old Town and Marina, Romeo's was still around, Trogg Bar had closed along with Bali Hai in the preceeding years, then we progressed towards Bond Street/LA's, then it was back to Old Town when Waterfront got it's act together, along came Circus Circus/Heaven & Hell etc. What is there now, Pozition, which is like being in a crap disco on a cross channel ferry (complete with the smell of vomit), Welly, Sugar Mill, not much else? The only place that has never changed is The Adelphi.'"
Those were the days. Must admit until I thought about it I didnt realise just how many clubs have been and gone, although Henrys was a hole its another club thats long gone (did it used to be rumours originally).

| Quote Standee="Standee"then I understand what you're saying, of the places you've been Pozition is probably on a par.'"
I know its nothing special but I've been out in other places as well and I've never been anywhere that's completely blown away compared to Pozition. I think you can have a good night anywhere if you're with the right people.

| Quote Standee="Standee"depends what you are comparing it to, did you ever go to LA's when it very first opened?, or Heaven and Hell (I think it was actually something else when it first opened) Pozition is awful in comparison.'"
Shame about LA's (Tiffanys/Peppermint Park) as was a great place in its hey day with Luckys upstairs. Heaven & Hell originally opened as 'Fez' IIRC.
Not forgetting Bali H'ai & Odyssey on George St, although the latter had just closed as I started going out but my sister had been in there a few times when it was part of the circuit.

I think it was Ritzy before Fez and then Heaven and Hell
and you're right, it's George Street not Bond Street

I've been out in Newcastle a couple of times, and the bars have were good but the clubs weren't anything special I didn't think. I've been on a weekend and for student nights too so it wasn't just the night I was there. Maybe I was just unlucky!

Thats right it was Ritzy first, completely forgot about that.
Well Bond street was all part of it I guess with Romeos on the Corner of it along with Lasers the other corner, oue very own Sunset strip at one time was George St

Its full of young people who like cheap booze and are not too keen on mainstream pop, both my sons enjoy going there and they are not weirdos! In fact one of the reasons they enjoy the place is it is not full of chavs who want to cause trouble after a belly full of beer.

Yes I suspect you are right it is down to personal definition....I suppose for an example my definition of weirdo would be if they continually posted complete and utter b0llox and generally talked a load of shiite on an internet forum every day...yep that is what I consider a weirdo.

| Nowt wrong with Spiders (aside from its location, I suppose).
Plenty of people go there to listen to decent alternative music rather than pop/dance music.

I'm sure you're well aware of my views on which people's opinion I find valueable.
