Old before your time

Hey folks, just thinking, is it normal for a 19 yr old to not want to go out clubbing etc, and rather go to the local working mens to play snooker or to the local pub? Also i dont mind drinking alone at home (sad i know but the g/f's in salford uni so only see her at weekends and not much else to do between snooker'ing) to add to that ive got a 5 dr focus (1.6, prob a nice family car, if i had a family) and not some chavved up boy racer mobile. + the bike for what must be my beginning-of-life crisis.

Just seems weird that most of my mates wanna go out on a weekend to the local night clubs and id rather have a few swift games of snooker or get hammered in a local pub (for a fraction of the price, im not tight tho )... hmmm

No, and you have the added bonus that in five years time you won't be a heroin addict, car accident statistic of father to six children by six different thirteen year olds, all of them called wayne (no idea what the kids are named though)

Nope. Don't worry about it at all.

Just hang out with your mates that do enjoy pubbing and snooker then chill with your clubbing friends in the week when they are not being **** heads.

Hmm, suppose thats one way of looking at it, and apologies for the large writing, started it in normal font but then it dissapeired, then i made it a bit bigger.. and it dissapeired agen.. so i made it bigger still and there it is.. just downloaded new internet explorer so that might be to blame. suppose its a good thing/sad thing in a way , but what happens if 'on a comedy note' i go to an un-local pub one day, and theres a guy selling crack, who also sells cut and shut cars which happen to have 6 children to 6 different fathers (which they have no names) in the boot as part of the deal?

I'm 22 and have been the same as you since 19, I will go into clubs but only because my mates go in, but I'd rather keep to the pubs personally. Also I play snooker once a week and only go out on the **** about twice a month now. HTH

Perhaps that's a little extreme...

Point is, nothing wrong with not enjoying the clubs, I can't stand the places, pay a fortune to stand in a scrum of sweaty drug addicts and scream at the top of your lungs to your friends, the barman, or anybody else less than an inch away from you

Local pub + a decent cider + good company = infinitely better

Im pretty much the same and im 19, tbh its nice to go out clubbing 1 a month or so for me but id rather go to the pub or play pool as well, i like to drink but not get stupidly drunk, again got a bog standard 1.6 Seat Leon, as much as id love something with a bigger engine and a lot quicker i just plain cant afford that

Whilst I don't mind a club on the very odd occasion, I much prefer a good pub! I'm a 23 yr old lass and I love a good pub. I love being able to actually have a banter as opposed to not being able to hear each other

Mr lone wolf, thats a good point about having to pay to get in aplces ful of crack heads, just dont seem worth while, but as for getting decent cider round here, youd be lucky.. the only good stuff i ever had was when i went to exeter and called at sheppys cider farm in somerset on the way back.. THE BEST is all i can say. And mr holdup, wouldnt you prefer a bog standard / slow ish car? i see it as when you get on the bike then its just that bit more special.

I did a lot of clubbing when I was your age, but I've always enjoyed the crack ( the laugh not drug) in a normal pub with mates where you can hear yourself.

I still go occassionally but don't enjoy it tbh, at 40 I feel like a grandad compared to most of them.
Tis nice admiring the young ladies though, especially in the summer

Do what you enjoy mate, not what others expect you to do, clubs ain't what they used to be these days, fecking expensive as well.
