lanky_ffc Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I've never been out on a night out at GHQ or even Leith Walk in my 9 months in Edinburgh. Apparently GHQ has a straight night, can't be much worse than George Street can it? When I was at uni (3 years back now!), Wednesday was a student night. It was pretty decent tbf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanky_ffc Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I've been to GHQ myself, someone's birthday night out of course. I love how tense some straight people get in gay clubs, they must think if their arse isn't facing a wall they'll get bumraped. I mind one time when I was in Polo for another birthday (genuinely, honest ) a guy tried to talk to my mate and he properly freaked the f**k out. Bizarre. I've never understood this either. To me, it's no different to being hit on by a bird you're not interested in i.e. you have a girlfriend or she's a munter. Thanks, but no thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 When I was at uni (3 years back now!), Wednesday was a student night. It was pretty decent tbf. Aye, it's still a student night. Used to go pretty often when I was in first year, it was no bad. Only problem was that if you put a jacket in the cloakroom it would come back reeking of smoke, and it took an age to get served at the bar. Was there over Christmas on a Wednesday for the first time in about 2 years and it was pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to pay the council to take the shite away when my aunt died. (The furniture and stuff, not my auntie..) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SodjesSixteenIncher Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Mind a really tidy (straight) bird I worked with was always talking about going to GHQ on a Wednesday. Sometimes meeting someone you half know, whilst both drunk in a club can be a decent approach to trying to schneck them. Can't really give it the "what a coincidence" patter when you bump into them at a place called Gay Head Quarters though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 (edited) I've never understood this either. To me, it's no different to being hit on by a bird you're not interested in i.e. you have a girlfriend or she's a munter. Thanks, but no thanks. Of the two times I mentioned going to gay clubs (in fact it's three, we went to what we thought was a normal club in Amsterdam before realising it was the gayest place on earth) I've not been chatted up once. I'll be completely honest, that hurts my feelings. Of course I would reject any advances, but it's not nice to think in three buildings full of gay people none of them think I'm fabbie. Edit: In fact, I've just remembered that I was glared at by middle aged men on a couple of those occasions.

I remember being in the Brunswick Hotel in Glasgow with my girlfriend at the time and this girl came up to me on the way back from the toilet. She told me that even though she was a "massive lesbian" (her words, not mine), she thought I was beautiful and could be a "gay icon". I was pretty flattered tbh.

RandomGuy. Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I used to drink in the Harp and Castle fairly regularly when I lived down that way. Priscillas is now called Bojangles, a shite name. I've never been in Planet Out, although I once went on a night out in GHQ. I ran out of money and had to get the barman to buy me a drink I've been to GHQ myself, someone's birthday night out of course. I love how tense some straight people get in gay clubs, they must think if their arse isn't facing a wall they'll get bumraped. I mind one time when I was in Polo for another birthday (genuinely, honest ) a guy tried to talk to my mate and he properly freaked the f**k out. Bizarre. Mind you, of the three times I've been to gay club's the bouncer has asked me every time if I know it's a gay place. I don't know whether to be complimented or offended, probably offended. I got hit on in a gay bar. While at the bar, by the barman himself and then at the toilet. The fact the DJ announced I was "coming out" probably didn't help 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Listen the only obvious solution I can see to this is for every Edinburgh based P&Ber to get together and go to GHQ, keep score on who gets most attention from the clientele and then award a 'Gayer of the Year' trophy to the winner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) I've just overheard someone on the train ask asking her husband if Fife's an island. The thinking: "well think about it, you need to cross either the Forth and Tay bridges to get onto it". I really don't think she's trying to pull his leg. Scottish too.

QoSStewartry Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Got rid of a far too pushy bloke last night by referring to his The Rangers top as a valid reason why we were never meant to be. It even outweighed him owning the pub. He took it well enough. Even let us have a lock in. Think he was embarrassed he couldn't tell me their last score ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
