Party Vibe

to be fair he didn’t actually punch him and accepted his sisters advice. if I went to townie clubs I would be just as likely to do that if it were the other way round (as my sister is married and my cousin (who coincidentally had a birthday this week) is single but perfectly capable of working out who is a decent bloke from a creep (she has high standards)).

And I might not even have been drunk but staying sober and on guard because I felt uncomfortable being there in the first place. But my sister and cousin live 150 miles away and don’t like townie clubs. I don’t think my cousin even drinks…

Anyway no violence actually occurred is just as well as it really doesn’t look good to go up before the beak for that sort of stupidity. Some Asian lad round Luton beat up another lad for looking at his sister (and robbed his blackberry) and not only did he get prison, he was struck off from becoming a trainee accountant as you need a clear CRB or one without violent crimes for that.

in both UK and NL the authorities have fucked things up by reluctantly accepting they are unable to totally stop party stimulant drugs but trying to push folk back to alcohol (to get tax revenue to recover the costs of the night time economy) so of course people at events combine both.

I read the Dutch forum partyflock.nl fairly often as well as other Dutch news sites and its clear their entertainment industry is suffering from violent incidents caused by this combination but their scene is bigger and their event managers and culture means that idiotic behaviour is punished more quickly so it doesn’t spoil everyones enjoyment.

here in EA the problem was allowed to fester and now the authorities have swung to the other extreme by blocking nearly everything (even townie clubs have closed recently).
