Gorby's bloody hell that takes me back back to my youth in college , CIT ELX2 1996-1998 i think ..its all a blur

Worked there for a short spell.... Use to go there a nite in Rosey's or the "ORIGNAL SMOKEY ATMOSPHERE IN NANCY" or else the Gropevine .. I mean grapevine

God no wonder I am such a pisshead these days !
I used to live between Nancys and Gorbys.

I was in Gorbeys there on Freshers week for the first time ever.Any place that has 2 euro vodkas is fine with me.

New Gorby's is only Over-23s on Fridays and it's aimed at students the other 6.

I loved Gorbys incl 2 floors with Kaos on Tue/Thur. I was in there about 4 nights a week. Started off in Mollys / Rosies / The Factory / Crannog / Leboskis / Preachers / Crazy Horse and later on the Goat.

All you had to do was reverse into a guy on the dancefloor and bingo score. Sigh if only things were so easy now

The song that always reminds me of Kaos - Ball & Chain
Gorbys - Brown Eyed Girl, The Day we caught the Train and Stuck in the Middle with You!!

I thought drinks promos were illegal now? I loved Woodies too!

Yeah yeah yeah, all you girls knew it too, so the rest of us poor guys just chilled in Gorbys trying to dance in the hopes of being molested, and nine times out of ten, it actually worked.

I remember those too! They were strange songs for any nightclub to play, especially Brown Eyed Girl. A huge one in there was Alternate - You're free, Boom Shake the Room, and of course, Men in Black. Weird weird music. Great fun though.

Do they still throw woodshavings on the floor for spilt drink etc.?

Is Stevie Wong on the door?
Is the Qube still open then as usual?

Steve is most recently seen bouncing outside Fast Eddies. Another gem from Gorby's that popped into my head last night ... Gala's Free from Desire!

I went there on Friday night! Was plastered drunk and managed to lose my camera, , Was soo upset, ended up leaving and headed home.

However on Sat , I contacted John from Gorbys and someone had handed in my camera!!! Still come honest people around!!!

Whoo hoo !!! Love Gorbys!!!

I went there friday night too. Always hated the place and then i remembered one of the main reasons why. People constantly spill my drink, is this just me or what ? Also some girl grabbed me at the end of the night which was always the good part of gorbys but she was wearing a wedding ring ! This is something i never had to check for before

Steve hasn't worked in Fast Eddies in ages, he's gorbys and qube. Go to qube every friday night, know all the bouncers so just walk in with whoever I'm with, no 18 year old knackers around - lots of hot foreign women around, great music and no long waits for drink. Best club by far.

never been to the qube much, I'll have it check it out when i'm at home next

i was in there last night for gorby's original..

it was bloody awful

arrived at 12, the place was already overfull, the bar is now a smoking room (wtf like), the new bar is in the worst location possible, the music was too loud (maybe i'm getting old, but bloody hell the music was so loud all it was was a load of white noise), the dj was shouting stupid things like "remember the frank and walters" over the intro to after all (remember them? they only released a new album less than 12 months ago).. the queue at the bar was about 5 or 6 deep, so i imagine it would take about 20 minutes to get a drink...

gorby's original? pffffft

I went last Sunday, full of students, and even though it was only €2 for vodka and diet coke, there was hardly any queue for the bar, the dance floor was half empty so we were going nuts, dancing like crazy people... the smoking room is a great addition I think, it really brought me back to the old days
You're getting old, and grumpy!

Kold

Still haven't managed to go up yet. Queues have been bull**** everytime we've felt like going up.

Well at least they are phasing out the 2euro vodkas in November.Im sick of the fact that you have to start queing at 10 to even get in!

Heisenberg.

It was a bit young on Sat night but not too bad once you had a gang together, which we did. It was BRILLIANT. Brought back so many memories - it was class. And ALL the same staff - how did they manage that!?

Stevie Wong is still on d door, had a great chat with him, he remembered me! :O
