What was I going to write about again?
Godsdamn it! I decidd to update because I’d got a cool idea, but went to a few other tabs first. Now I’m back here and, um, it’s gone. Ah well, just blither about the weekend I guess.
Went to the Bunker Saturday night, apparently got there about ten minutes after
Chris and Anne-Marie were there, which kinda segues me into my next bit. Y’see, I first met Chris when he was a customer in the shop I worked at. I’d left school, dropped out of college, and was working full time. He was 11. Anne-Marie, I met independently. I worked for her dad. Again, the time I met her, she was 11. Now, they’re both functioning adults, and a pretty happy couple. Gods I feel old, of the 5 people in the nightclub I actually like talking to, two of them I’ve known, as an adult, since they were kids.
That, and the club was full of kiddies and teenygoths. Seems to be getting worse. That’s not just me getting old. So few people there that were worth speaking to. I had to check probable age before admiring the women; half, on a proper look, were cute kids, not women yet, certainly too young for me. Gah! What the fuck happend to the Bunker being the hangout of people into their 20s? That’s what it was like when I first moved to Exeter. Where are the students? Oy, Wordsworth, Franglen! What’s happened to you lot bringing people down for me to talk to? It’s getting to the point that I may stop going unless people tell me they’ll be there. Ah well.
Watching Mike was fun. Mike? Next time we talk, a few more notes on technique needed methinks. That was one pretty impressive crash and burn. Still, a worthy effort…
Night all, job to go to tomorrow (not that I’ll sleep tonight)…

You are an old guy, get over it, it happens to everyone, well except those people that die before they get old, but that’s not my point.
But please do elaborate on the “crash and burn” of the Mike.

Or don’t. That also works.

Oh, and I don’t have technique. I don’t do chatting up, just chatting to.

The current crowd (I’m refering to the people like the woman who took my phone and stuck it down her top and demanded someone rang it to vibrate it) is why I’m avoiding the place at the moment. Just to show I’m not apathetic I’m trying to entice people to get a group and try Plymouth’s goff night. Shame there isn’t one for a couple of months. (Christmas one clashes with Westward Bound and the large crossover might cause problems and other is NYE)

Nah Seth, you missed the point. My complaint had nothing to do with me being old, there have always been people there older than me.
It’s everything to do with the average age being a lot younger and the old regulars just not being there.
As to the Crash and Burn? He was almost doing well. But didn’t realise it and then crashed mightily. More details in print would hurt the poor boys feelings; ask me in person, happy to share
