Never did. I wasted my teens and twenties studying or doing unpaid overtime.
Been to nightclubs twice in my life.
Never done the Club 18-30 thing.
Never been to Spain.
I completely wasted the first 12 years of my adult life.
Nightclubs suck. I say this from the position of having spent some years in the licensed trade, including a period managing a bar in a nightclub. It was the only club in the entire city worth visiting if you were even slightly above the level of the bovine, but that doesn't mean it didn't suck.
Club 18-30: I can't even begin to imagine which parts of my brain they'd have to excise to make me want to indulge in that particular form of sociomasochism
Spain? Why the fsck would I want to go to Spain? I've sometimes been tempted by the idea of going to see the Sagrada Familia (?sp) but that would be on the basis of plane-cab-architecture-cab-plane. Assuming I could get back in time for last orders.
Wasted 12 years? No. Found better things to do with those 12 years than the societally-pre-conditioned morons who comprise about 99.9% of the population? Yes.
I used to be the assistant (or deputy? can't remember my "title") manager there, and I know what the rooms above the pub are like
In the fifties the then-landlord hanged himself in the bedroom immediately over the front end of the Public Bar. I occasionally bring this up with ditzy women who are into auras and crystals and stuff like that - it's amazing how they always claim to have "sensed something" even though they never sensed a damn thing before I gave them the cue

Quiet in here now... I'm going to get up to speed with my ribs and chips whilst watching UFO
It's the episode I've been looking forward to - the one where the aliens cause hallucinations in the minds of the SHADO operatives, making them believe that, rather than working for a secret organisation called SHADO which defends the world against a deadly alien menace, they're actually just actors making a TV drama about working for a secret organisation called SHADO which defends the world against a deadly alien menace... very postmodern
Oh good... now there's a premises alarm going off in the immediate vicinity
I don't mind them when I'm sleeping - I can sleep if they're already going when I crash, and get back to sleep if, upon investigation, one that wakes me up proves to be a false alarm.
I'm just worried that it may be irritating when trying to listen to the telly
Still, things could be worse - I could be trying to install Linux
