I was out for the first time in more than a month on Saturday night - it was Paul (Jill’s boyfriend)’s birthday. We started off in the Potthouse bar before heading over to Ollie’s at the Merchant Hotel - I’d been there before but only on a Thursday when it was pretty dead (i.e. there were about thirty people in the place).

I have to say it was really good on Saturday night - although the queue (which we were able to skip ‘cos we were on the guest list) was enormous, so if you’re planning to go, get down early. Also £10 seemed a bit steep to get in, but it was probably worth it. The place was busy, but not too busy, and there were lots of pretty ladies there too and everyone just seemed out to have a good time. Girls would come up and speak to you instead of just posing around like they do in the Potthouse, so that’s a plus!

We actually did end up back at the Potthouse for some reason (where I briefly considered chatting up a slightly overweight Avril Lavigne look-a-like), and then I headed home, whilst some other people went on to a ‘rave’ (I hate that word) in an Indian restaurant! WTF!
