Made it through the most stressful situation...

.... a HEN NITE (I'm deliberately spelling it NITE as it's the correct tacky spelling).

A Hen note in my experience, I'm sorry to say, has always been an evening where you will be shelling out hundreds of pounds to sit around in a dark tacky niteclub drinking champagne cocktails through a pen*s-shaped straw surrounded by girls you have nothing in common with bar the fact you share a friend who's about to get married. On top of this it involves DRINKING. I haven't had a drink for the last 2 months and a week, ever since I stopped smoking, this was going to be a seriously test of my resolve.

Luckily for my non smoking gambit, the niteclub in the West End the Hen had chosen was so tacky I didn't once look out longingly to the smoking area wishing I could go out and strike up an interesting convo with anyone. I was pre-occupied with working out how the hell to get out of there I didn't think once about having a cigarette.

The night had it all, tack, large amounts of alcohol, other smokers in our group, a fight... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrghh!

HIDEOUS.

But I didn't smoke

Poor you

God, that does sound hideous! Well done for not buckling though, especially as there were other smokers there.

Now you've managed that, you know you can do anything!

Hi Polster,

Well done to you for not smoking. Sounds like my idea of hell also, poor you!

Hurray! I hate them too. Think going to one would drive me to fags!!! Well done you x

Polster - I'll swap you an evening in a west-end club surrounded by drunken "laydez" (to follow your tastefull spelling) for a whole weekend with my mother in law?

By mid-day sunday I don't know what I wanted most - a loaded revolver or a cigarette!

[nsd_user663_8351]

I'll help you out here Munter - it was the revolver, definitely the revolver.

well done Polster!

Think of it as a stepping stone to a good night out! You are definitley now prepared to test that!

Thanks guys and guyettes,

Bloody hen nites. It would have been the classic smoking moment to get the hell out of the club, stand outside, light up a Marlboro Light and stare at the sky saying "For the love of God!!!"

Munster - I'd have used the loaded revolver on the obligatory outrageously p*ssed "Watch me fall over" girl in our group. Easily.

Never again.
