Michael Gove goes clubbing

Well that another conversation altogether. 30 years ago, whilst yr hole was always very welcome, folks were there very much for the music.  Without wishing to come across as yer da, the yoof, in general,  simply don't care as much about music as much as they did 30 years ago.

This is nonsense.

I don't know if kids today feel  the same about music as I did when I was 15 and frankly I don't want to know.

Folk on here seem to think all clubs are like the dingy dens in small towns in Scotland where teenagers go to try and break their cherry.

Playing devil's advocate, I can think of occasions that folk would end up in a club by themselves. When I was in my 20s and 30s if we went to any club it was always the Sub Club, very rarely was it anywhere else, and only then cos there was a specific DJ or party to go to. In our 20s there would be long periods where folk would be going there every Saturday (and latterly Sunday when Optimo started, hence my current decrepit and fragile state). Pretty tragic and unadventurous if we're being totally honest about it, but there it is.

I'm pretty sure I can remember times either my mates or myself went there on our own. Admittedly it would be safe in the knowledge that there would be people we knew to hang out with once we got there, so perhaps not relevant to Gove's situation, but still.

I would guess that there are umpteen shitty wee clubs in shitty wee towns where the locals treat them like a late-night version of a local boozer and wander in by themselves on the basis that they'll know half the people there. Just a guess.

Got to be confidence, right? If you don't feel you can go to a club, enjoy the music and maybe meet some new people on your own, then I understand why you'd need the comfort blanket of your friends.

I reckon a pub can be alright, or I hope so, have gone into one after stuff like job interviews before to get a pub lunch and a pint or two. A night-club is different.

Going to the pub on your own, to sit and drink pints and watch the world go by, is one of the greatest pleasures in life.

Unless that pub turns out to be a Wetherspoons, that is.
