Nottingham Forest Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 No, I spent £100 last night. Which is what I said. In there, I've had my cheapest night ever. Spending about £25 . Although the night cost me £40 with travel costs and a drink to pre drink with. That was about a year and a half ago. Not been in there for a year and half or so.

Gizmo7 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Oh yeh misread that, apologies. If I spent £100 on a night out think I'd be curled up in a ball in my room rocking backwards and forwards now. Maybe shivering a little. Either that or it would be one of them 'sit-down-shower, head-in-hands' moments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nottingham Forest Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I don't go out often enough so when I do go out, I'm happy to spend it. Although I'll be spending £300 in 3 weeks . I'll probably clear another £100 next week when I go out and that's 3 weeks on the bounce where I've been out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo7 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 For me I'd say i spend around £30-40 on a night out. Pre-drinks ~£8, Taxi's ~£3 e/w, Perhaps go to a bar and spend around £5-10 before going to a club, £5 entry, £5-8 drinks in there £0.99p cheese burger before home Pretty much sums up a night out in Leicester for me. When I'm in Coventry it's much cheaper as we don't go to a bar before and don't get taxi's (unless really lazy). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nottingham Forest Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Damn, you either are a lightweight or just don't drink. I don't pre-drink normally and depending on what group I'm out with, depends where we go. So if it's with the Morrisons lot, we start off in our local at about 7pm and have a few pints in there before leaving at about 7:45. In town we usually go Squares and Cucamaras all the time. After that, it's just random. Very rarely go to clubs. In the bars I drink a bit tbh. Yesterday I drank 3 Hooches, 2 Becks, 1 pint of Carling, 3 Double Brandy & Cokes iirc, 1 Single of that, 2 double vodka red bulls and about 6 WKD/VK drinks. Maybe more.

Gizmo7 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 To be fair that is the mimumum alcohol I'd need to say I was 'drunk' but not 'smashed'. 8 cans of Carling for pre's, a few JD cokes/Jagerbombs at a bar then a few bottles of beer in the club. Maybe a few shots in there too. Wouldn't really say I'm a lightweight, it's pre-drinking that makes the night cheap. For me it's mixing that gets me uncontrollably drunk. I'm okay when sticking with beer, it's when the shots come out to play that things start getting messy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo7 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Also, if you play drinking games such as ring of fire or arrogance then you're mixing everyone's drinks who you're drinking with so you could end up downing a mixture of wine, vodka, beer, cider and whatever anyone else is drinking, before it's even 10 o'clock Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nottingham Forest Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I'm sorry, but feck that. I struggle to mix drinks tbh. I can't drink Jagerbombs anymore after previous episodes. I can't drink Sambuca anymore either. Makes me heave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Pre-drinking is usually one of the best parts of the night, especially at uni. Get everyone round, as gizmo said... ring of fire, bit of beer (or whatever alcohol) pong and arrogance. There is a weird clapping/tapping game which gets hilarious when everyone is drunk, goes awfully wrong So many times I have left pre-drinks a lot more drunk than I end up at the end of the night after the bars/clubs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nottingham Forest Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I only know women that usually pre-drink. I can't be arsed with that **** tbh. Just go out, have a few drinks and enjoy it. If I get drunk fine. If I don't all is good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk to me about the training you had to do and how long it all took, etc. Something I've been considering post-uni You need to have a speciality subject. Mine was PE. A PGCE course is a one year course if you do it full time. Mine was part-time and was spread out over two years. You need to have a placement alongside your course so you can practice your teaching in and need to log 75 hours teaching a year. Then there is the assignments on top and I think the longest assignment was around 3,000 words. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how much did this cost/how was it funded? It was 3 hours per week. I did 6-9pm on a Monday night but we had two classes and could go to the other that week if we wanted. As for the placement, those hours are completely up to you what you do per week. I did a whole day on a Tuesday which was 8 hours or so per week. I worked through mine and didn't find it that difficult to manage both. The cost of mine was £1,900 I think but that was before the fee's went up so I'm not sure what it is now. Also because it is adult learning and a part-time course you might get it for free. I did because I didn't earn enough to pay for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
