What defines a good night out for you?

diusmr8a504cvk

I won't lie, I'd consider it a bad night out if I didn't get the shift. It's great meeting friends and all but that wouldn't make my night.

Cupcake_Crisis

Not having to bring someone home because they're blotto.

The shift would also be nice.

Good company and a good laugh does it for me.

Your Face

Not getting caught.

A good night out would be a good night in for me.

KKkitty

When I wake up and still have my phone, keys and small change.

whoopsadoodles

Feeling like I have a six pack from laughing so much.

MyStubbleItches

If it's s night out with my wife then just being in a nice pub, having a chat and getting slowly sozzled. If with my friends then the same applies. Not being too drunk at the end.

Arghus

Roaring my head off with like minded others at 4 in the morning to metal classics from my youth.

Day Lewin

Laughter, friendship, warmth, good wine, good food, and good talk. A whiff of that oul' flirtation adds an extra touch of delicious. Puts me in a good humour that lasts for days.

Corruptedmorals

If it's a proper night out then it's crap if it doesn't end in a good club. Can't bear not dancing if it's a late one. Great when everyone's laughing, in a good mood and on the same page.

Has to be the kebab at half 3

A good blast of insulting to some one that deserves it always goes down a treat.

snowflaker

Good Friends, good music, good chat, and maybe some fun

retro:electro

No awkwardness, and everyone just in top form and making each other laugh. Drunk but not too drunk.
I prefer house parties to pubs for the reason that they're more relaxed and you can play whatever tunes take your fancy.

Jack the Stripper

I imagine Hector Bellends night would involve not crapping his pants.

Winterlong

Any night out with friends is a good night for me.

thee glitz

I'd want to have a "few" beers, see a good band, talk and be at least semi-receptive to some prophecies, Mr dj plays Sing Hallelujah and/or Rhythm is a Dancer, chicken ball curry chip, home for a nightcap, mock the week , and snuggle

That and no texts/whatsapps sent past 10pm.

Seeing as my nights out are pretty much dependent on Limerick FC victories, they're all good nights out by definition.

Lightweight, ten to two she will do is time for the texts/whatsapps.

A seat at a table, preferably beside an open fire, and being able to hear what the person next to me is saying.
Good quality drinks, friendly and prompt service, and a cosy atmosphere.
I'm too old and cranky for any ****wittery these days.

Useful.Idiot

Good tunes, good chats with good friends, good chats with strangers. relying on the shift for a good night is not a healthy way to be

Sounds perfect, can't be dealing with clubs and 5am taxis home anymore

Tigger

Back when it was a scrap a shift and a laugh. I think that's what men enjoy testing their metal then meeting new women and bonding with their peers.

One where I can get out of going.

Temptamperu

I find a night in is the best night out.

tomwaterford

A good laugh and no aggro

Ye should go out on a date.

wakka12

Not having to make small talk with somebody new. So that depends on my mood, whether I just want to be with close friends I know well or if I feel like meeting new people, and If I'm in that mood then the small talk with somebody new isn't really an issue
Not getting too drunk
Not losing anything
Getting food at the end
And somebody flirting with me/telling me Im good looking puts me in a good mood also

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

Depends. A night out or a cosy night?
Right now I would like a night where I can get dressed up, go somewhere nice and intimate for dinner and cocktails, somewhere you can take your time with your drink and food, somewhere you can relax and have the chats without some really loud mediocre band blasting the ears off you.

If it's a proper night out I love going all out for it though. Planning my outfit weeks in advance, booking in to have my hair blowdried and my face made up. Getting dressed and ready with my friends while we pre drink. Head into town about 10:30, fairly blitzed but not too drunk. Heading to a late bar instead of a nightclub and everyone getting drunker together. Go for food, back to a houseparty and contemplate your life while sitting on the toilet at 8am, one eye closed so you don't fall off, having that lucid moment that you should probably go home.

Nothing as bad as having a woman down before even leaving the house. You can't relax and enjoy getting drunk when there's someone in worse condition that needs minding or going out and just not being able to get into the spirit of things

Bitches Be Trypsin

A well ventilated place so I don't faint. I hate nightclubs, so a nice pub. Shots. Tipsy. Not drunk though. My boyfriend with me so I can get the shift

KKkitty

On the night out itself. Music at a nice level where you can still hear it and the people you're talking to simultaneously without them shouting at you and vice versa. People who you find you can talk to with alcohol and without it. Just people who you're completely comfortable with. Friendly bar staff. Having a seat for the night is a must too. Being female I often wear shoes that hurt after a while. Having a seat helps with that especially if I've forgotten to bring flatter shoes with me. Sometimes I don't like having a TV in a pub. It can be a bit of a distraction.

Mint Sauce

Unexplained bruising.

Richard Hillman

Lots of embarrassment and shame that doesn't involve me

steddyeddy

Toss on a pair of hot pants and hooker red lippy for me.

Beyondgone

Loads of sleep. Pretty much.

Vex Willems

Most often good nights are unplanned!

stateofflux

Having fun. Love it also when you are in the zone and buzzing off lots of people where your positivity is magnetic

So you used to scrap with them and then shift them?...

And then laugh with them at their own confusion, no doubt.

FanadMan

A few pints, a few games of darts and a bit of chat with some friends. I don't ask for much so am fairly happy.

Would you not prefer a nice cup of tea and a few decades of the rosary?

Wanderer78

Being left alone, having a peaceful evening, getting a good night's sleep and to rise the next day to enjoy some fruitful, generally energetic activity. Heaven!

Good food, good drink, good company, good chats/conversation - and enough laughter to physically hurt.

Absolutely this. Nothing like going out with friends, few or a lot or too many pints, and just having a great laugh talking absolute crap.

So do people in Ireland actually say "The shift"? Is it a culchie thing? I thought it was something The Daily Edge made up.

Wow hold up there! The 'S' on Shift needs a capital letter too.

It does sound very juvenile though.

With 3 kids under 4 in the house, I consider any night out to be a good night out!

Friends and pints of Murphy's. Perfect.
