I just got back from the club.

About 10.20pm I called my mate to see if anything was going on tonight. He told me that they were going down to the leagues club, and going there now. I said I would see him down there.

I got my stuff together to leave. I was just about to shut the door when I realised I didn't have my keys. I came back, looked for them, and found them next to the keyboard where I had left them when I came back with my McDonalds.

I went to my bike, and for some reason, I had the TiVo remote control in my hand.

Unfortunately it doesn't work in real life, it would be nice to have rewind, fast forward, pause, instant replay, mute, and best of all, a delete function for real life. There are somethings I just don't want to remember.

Anyway, I came back inside, dumped the remote, when back down, and rode down to the club.

I was in 2 minds, I was thinking about going to a service station and buying a bottle of Coke, leaving it in my bike, and then I can come the back way home, and avoid the main roads, or alternatively, go straight to the club, and get the Coke on the way home.

I'm not worried about cops, because by the time I come home, I'm totally sober, it's just the hassle of being pulled over, and going through the whole thing, when I just want to get home, because I'm tired, and it's freezing out there.

I went straight to the club. I wandered in to where we normally sit, there was no one there.

I wandered around looking for them, I wasted $6 in the pokies.

I went back again, and my mates were near where we normally sit.

I got a drink. We chatted for a while.

They all wanted to go upstairs to the night club, I haven't been up there for ages, and now I'm faced with 2 things, hang around down here for an hour because I've just had a drink, or go upstairs.

I decided to go upstairs (the last time I had to make this choice, I hung around for a while, and then went home, that was when my mate and I got tickets for going through a red light).

I checked my jacket in, went upstairs, paid $11, and wandered in. The staff at the door were mucking around and not paying attention, they didn't give me a stamp. I assumed it was because there were no passouts yet, and they would give me a stamp if I wanted to go down, so I just wandered past.

One of the chicks grabbed my arm, and gave me the stamp.

I went in, grabbed a drink.

We chatted, and perved a bit. I got another drink, it wasn't even 11pm yet.

We went in and had a dance. I stayed in while my mates wandered off.

I was up dancing on one of the stage things, and some chick started dancing with me, that was pretty cool, until I realised she was a bit slutty, as I saw her floating around to quite a few guys in there.

Eventually, after they opened the "Rewind Room" (that plays all 70's 80's music) I wandered in there, they were all sitting in there.

I had a dance in here for a bit.

We stayed in here for quite a while. They played Nutbush City so we all danced to that, and then the Macarena, and then Timewarp or whatever it is from Rocky Horror Picture Show.

We went back out to the main area for a while, where they play all the crap music, crap 40, r&b, (c)rap, and all that nonsense.

We were out here for a while, it was all trancey stuff now, which I don't mind.

We went back into the rewind room, it was nearly finished in here (2.30am).

As we came back in, I saw a guy I did my motorbike Ps course with, I thought I had seen him earlier in the night, but I wasn't sure.

Some chick was giving me the eye as I wandered back in here, but when I got up to dance, she was nowhere to be seen, oh well.

The rewind room closed, and we were herded out back into the main area, I was sick of it by now, so we all decided to leave.

We came down, I got my jacket back, and we went outside, my mates were waiting for a taxi.

As we came out, there were a group arguing as to where the taxi line started, one guy claiming it was near a ramp, and the other guy near the taxi sign.

A taxi arrived, they continued arguing, and wouldn't let each other into it.

Finally a useless security guard came over, sorted it, and the people near the sign got in the taxi and left.

Other people, including my mates, had got in the line after the people who had just left, instead of them being next.

As a result, they were arguing with everyone who had got in front of them. Another taxi arrived, and some people left.

As they were waiting, some guy was brought out of the club on a stretcher, and loaded into an ambulance parked outside the door.

There were 2 groups or so in front of my mates, who were in front of the people arguing where the line started.

It then became physical, they moved onto the road, and one guy from the group of idiots took a swing at my mate, and it just tapped his face. I was about to get in there, and have a go at the guy swinging, because my mate was being held away, but I had my key in my hand.

I put my key in pocket, and as I did, the guy took another swing, some people moved in front of me (i was standing back) so I didn't see exactly what was going on, but then my mate ended up on his ass on the road.

The useless security guard is just watching what's going on, and doing nothing.

There's about 10 people in the middle of the road now, scuffling, no punches were being thrown, or I would have got in there.

I just stood at the side watching to see what was going on.

Eventually they managed to stop all the scuffling, and move off the road, because another taxi arrived.

Some people got in, and it left again.

My mate started shouting at the useless security guard, asking why he let that go on without doing anything, and he said it was because it was on the road, not on the footpath. What a crock.

He wanted to know what the point of his club membership was, told the useless guard he could shove it up his ass, and he threw his card at the useless security guard, it went on the ground.

He just kept telling my mate that now that he was not a member, that he could go to the train station, because he would not be getting a taxi there, and if that wasn't good enough, he could go around the corner to the police station.

There was a fair bit of shouting going on, and I think I heard my mate saying something about suing the useless security guard for assult, for watching it and doing nothing.

I just stood back watching, and the arguments continued. I'm not sure who was with who out of the idiots, because they then started fighting amongst themselves, and even when one guy had his hand on the throat of another guy, _while standing on the footpath_ the useless security guard did nothing.

The next taxi arrived, and my mates got in, and it left.

I went back to my bike, and came home.
