Sun Nov 04, 2012 8:06 pm

right :lol:

Im from Ebbw vale so sorry if this seems like a stupid post because the price of drinks around my place are usally (2 quid-2.50)

but last night me and a group of boys went round cardiff. started in the walkabout then headed for your eyes only (only to get refused entry as we looked 'too drunk') then headed for oceana.

first order, I asked for two vodka and red bulls, " yes love, 16.50" "you fuking what i said" without thinking :lol:

"fuk that Ill have two bottles of smirnoff ice please" (cloudy lemonade)

"yes love 9 pound please"

maybe it was my coulorfull language ?

but dear god thats an expensive night out, did seriously dent my bank balance last night, safe to say Its some one elses round next time :lol:

sooo, whats the most expensive round youve ever bought and did it catch you off guard ? :lol: :lol:

I've been asked to go to Oceana so many times, and I'm only 16. All the horny, bitchy, sweaty 13/14 year olds go there wearing absolutely nothing

Simple answer is to boycott the places so that they either get real or go out of business.

I was in Dublin 4 years ago and the hotel bar was cheaper than the local pub! When does that happen? Very strange.

Oceana went out of business a few months ago. I hear it's best to go out on the town during the week in Cardiff as it's a lot cheaper.

More fool them. If they act like idiot consumers, then they'll get treated like them.

Unfortunately, the idea is to keep a load of youngsters out of these places by charging high prices for the drinks.

I'd go down the park bench with a flaggon of woodpecker if I was you. Good enough when I was a lad! :old:

I've heard of it, :lol: my cousin told me. Said he's been there a few times. Also Brynmawr has taken the nickname of Brynmeow :lol:
Also I think he mentioned one in Tred (?) called Escapade I think it is full of my age, very watery pints though apparantly.

Only ones I really know in Ebbw are the ones through Beaufort and Rassau, don't know much else

Tip is to get blathered before you go into town if you can't afford the prices :old:

Oceana tends to be a good night anyway with free drink vouchers and £3 tequila shots.

Or, Lloyds is alright. Not the biggest as it's a Wetherspoons but 2 bottles for £5 or 2 jagerbombs for £5 is pretty good!

You're not one of them underaged nobs that goes in and tries to show off about being in Oceana? "smashing it in osh!!"

Or do you just go to the under 18 nights? :lol:

I believe the holding company went into administration but Oceana allowed to continue trading as a seperate business. That was my interpretation of it. Can always just ask at the bar what drinks they got on offer.

Oceana?? Seriously? Full of clowns who like to bump and grind to the latest RnB chart toppers!

Lumina the holding company went bust a year or so now, they owned Life and Liquid also which I used to spend most of my weekends in. They closed those as they thought it was competition for Oceana but that master plan obviously didn't work. Liquid was a quality club, miss that place! No decent nightclub in Cardiff anymore.

Iv played in the griffin in Brynmawr before, f*cking dive and full of kids!!

You said try following Wales away, especially Scandinavia.
Been to Finland twice and 3 pear cider were 24quid a time,even a large packet of crisps were 4 quid.
I don't think we ate at all those times.

Never found Finland to be too bad, but Utsira in Norway was shockingly expensive with two desert size glasses of JP Chana [shit wine] coming to £16.00. Istanbul airport is one to avoid where a round of 7 beers cost over £90.00 five years ago. :o

Since the invasion of many students from far and wide prices have gone up ten fold as people know that these full time pissheads thrive on student loans to get smashed 24/7. Thats what i blame :ayatollah:

It was Glam. Town is so shit. I stopped going out there because there's just too much aggro now. Better sticking to the pubs in the suburbs.

Kids, I am older and more cynical now mind so don't necessarily listen to me! :D
