Drink The Bar Dry...

Q: What do you get if you have all-inclusive-drink-antics, a bunch of gays, a token girl and the gay-friendly-straight-guy at the Shilling?

A: An extremely messy night!

That's right dearly departed folk who may have once resided in Bristol, the Shilling decided it would be a good idea to have a one-off entry fee of twenty quid on Saturday, followed by unlimited free drink once inside. It may sound like a good idea - that's what everybody thought on Saturday night - but the harsh reality of it is, we are a nation of binge drinking Boozehounds who don't know when to admit we've had enough! Part of that may be experience talking, but from the general concensus of those involved (after speaking to them on Sunday) it appears that I am correct.

I would also like to take this opportunity to point out that I was reluctant to buy a wristband as a) I'm extremely tight and b) I had work on Sunday morning, and didn't want to feel like crap whilst serving scented candles and overpriced cushions to the masses. However, after giving the matter some serious contemplation, I decided I would part with my money and join in with the booze-fuelled-fun! Despite this, I did stop drinking alcohol at about 1am and switched to Coke, so I didn't feel all that bad come Sunday... Yes that's right! Me, turning down free alcohol! There *is* a first for everything!

Forget "Where's Wally?", think "Where's Wilma?" instead!
