Question Blackpool

Hi.
I am going there with a few mates next Thurs & Fri night. I am sure we will find plenty to do in the day but where would you recommend going for some evening entertainment & I don't mean ballroom dancing

Daz, you will have a very nice time up there, the local coppers absolutely love to beat the sh*t out of any Brummies they can find! Last time some of our lot went up, they were refused entry to most of the clubs, two of them suffered broken ribs after being hit by truncheons and two more were bound over and spent the nite in cells.

If I were you I would buy a cotton evening frock, develop a spanish accent and go as Nadia from Big Brother.

Under no circumstance what so ever, mention you follow Birmingham City- thats tantamount to writing your own Death certificate.

You get loads of plebs trying to get you to sign bits of paper and give them your money for things you don't want to spend it on, they are usuall approx three feet away from each other, each one of them pesters you, even though you have allready told them NO !!!!

Daz, I've never had any probs in Blackpool, and I'm up there next Friday night too.

Places to try:
Lionels,
Schofields
Syndicate (club)
Heven + Hell (club)
Rat + Parrot
Rumours ( dress code for the barstaff is interesting, all female) (club)


Stay out of wicked (unless you want a shock)

About all the places I go.

Simon
