That's where i went last night. Despite being in my 3rd year here i've never been there before. We queued for an absolute AGE to get in. Over half an hour. I needed to pee so bad it made the wait bloody awful. We finally got in sometime after 11pm and dashed to the loos. I have to say my impressions of Gatecrasher were not what i had been expecting. I envisioned it being quite classy and even pretentious but no! It was quite nice inside but not as posh as good ole Oceana. I wore my shoes and a skirt but there really was no need. There were quite a few girls in there in jeans and trainers.
Queueing at the bar was like being in a rugby scrum. It really was quite vicious. I HATE queuing for drinks!! We drank quite a lot at home but the effects had well and truely worn off after the queuing in the cold. I therefore bought 2 double vodkas so i didn't have to queue for a while. This theory didn't work because i drank them really fast and was soon thirsty for more. After a while we decided to try the bar again. It was fucking hopeless. After waiting for 20 minutes squashed up against strangers it became obvious it was a lost cause and we gave up. This is probably why i don't feel ill today, i couldn't get enough booze in! I don't know why there weren't more bar staff on. Totally crap.
The dancefloor was rammed and we got pissed off with it so 3 of us decided to leave. For some reason, housemates V and P decided that we couldn't say to the other 2 that we wanted to go home but had to make an excuse to leave or they'd be pissed off at us. So we invented a ridiculous story that P had been break-dancing/hiphopping out too strongly and had been asked to leave by the bouncers. Absolutely hilarious - as if!! They actually believed it too.
Taxi home was a rip-off as usual. Followed by pizza and dancing on my bed again. Sorry again to the neighbours.
I would definitely go there again because Fresher's Week is always rammed everywhere so not a true reflection of places.
I've got to go get ready to go hat shopping with V now. Decided we need hats for winter. bye for now!!

Sounds like an alright time. Maybe you could get someone you know to taxi you home? We do that sometimes (yeah it's cheeky) although most of the time we get taxis!

Have fun shopping!
