Clubbing Across the Pond

So the above article was featured in the London Sunday Times a couple weeks ago. Can you believe this crap? It's certainly more worthy of US Weekly than the freakin Times! I mean they're actually advising people that the way to have a good time on your night out is to get completely shit-faced and start a fight with your identically dressed buddy then hop on public transportation so the entire city can watch you barf falafel.

Yes, excellent plan.

In America we would never be caught dead in the same outfit as our girlfriend, lest we find ourselves in the "Who Wore It Best" section of a tabloid, or on a non-celeb level, silently judged by random bar patrons. And no one who's anyone would ever wait in a line, why do you think flirting with bouncers is considered an art form? As for "the drunker the better" mentality, well most of us have left that in college (well most of us with two X-chromosomes anyway). You never want to be that girl, trust me, I have been that girl in an amphitheater during a Counting Crows concert and let me assure you it wasn't pretty.

If this is any indication of the nighttime behavior of our English friends, I have to say it is more than an ocean that divides us. I mean at least in America we don't advocate acting like trash in the Sunday edition of the country's most respected newspaper. Alas, if I have said it once, I have said it a bushel of times...it is no wonder the British lost the colonies.
