    Mind you, you're probably right and you have seen me pissed so I'll take your advice
    Heh - When I went it was a great novelty night out, but you can't help feeling a little self-conscious with all the poseurs about and therefore don't tend to properly let your hair down like we did at Silver - and my wallet ended up in A&E with severe injuries - but that was all the champagne (royal) mojitos. Lovely drink.

    You're much more likely to pull there - although it's not a creepy atmosphere there are more 'normal' people around - Eve is somewhat, er, exclusive in that regard - it's a different kind of night out - and Eve is much more expensive.

    If you go there, it's worth calling the club in advance and getting on the guestlist - otherwise you may be waiting outside for a while. Wear your most outrageous, poshest frocks.

    It's definitely a girlie club and some of the people are a bit poncey, but the group you're with makes the night you have in my experience.

    Feck off - I'm not the oldest

    We're all a pretty good mix though and we all get on so should be grand.

    Roadhouse is probably your best option then. (O'Neills in Soho (opposite Waxy O'Conors) also has a club upstairs which is also good fun, but you'll need plenty of booze to enjoy).

    My earlier suggestions of The Soho and Motion are relatively more upmarket than the Roadhouse and you can also have boogie. (By 'relatively more upmarket' neither are in any way snooty).

    However, best girlie night out in London can be found at Carwash. You'll probably need to get a little dressed up but it's amazingly good fun. I can lend you my chest wig from the last time I was there if you want.

    None taken. It is a bit happy go likely and we chose it because it's close to theatre land and was free entry before 10 I didn't really pay much attention to the kinds of other people there, but remember seeing a few scrotes getting thrown out for trouble...

    The people make a place. On my two (forced) visits, I found On Anon to be populated with aggressive blokes on heat and home counties hairdressers on a big night 'up town'. Think Tiger Tiger, and you are almost there.

    Generally the people who frequent On Anon are out-of-towners who know no better (no offence Mr Robin).

    Let me know the age of your group, likes and dislikes and I'll make few more recommendations......

    Hop on the train to Swindon.

    No nightclubs to speak of (they are banned in Swindon due to prohibition laws), but there is a great organic smoothie bar that's open till 5.30pm (except Fridays).
