Limelites Nightclub

[jase]

Limelites quality club my only real memory is getting caught snorting lines of whizz through a focus point in the toilets. Getting thrown out by the doormen and given a good kicking outside!

[marrasis]

[Betty Boo]

After being thrown out, did you then head up to Victors, like everybody else did???

You mean Victims. Always used to be bother there, and I received a smack in the chops once myself.

[marrasis]

As drunk as i was i would never go in to victors i just did'nt like the place

[jase]

Some right dodgy bassas. Never failed to kick off. Went to Oz from about 90-94, it was excellent then.

Does anyone know if Norman x manager of Limelights ever got married to the girl he was seeing in the 80's called Sharon??

[para-wings]

To be honest though all nightclubs are pretty cr*p. Too noisy to chat, too busy to get a drink, too expensive to get a drink, cra*p drink once you got it, too much to get in, too much grief once you were in, and too many cra*p Bouncers.

Maybe I'm just getting old, but I'd rather have a late drink in a pub and go for a curry where only the point marked in red applied! (Except when idiots who can't hold their drink also turn up).

I totally agree with you Columbo. As Jim says, we're just getting old! Mind you, I've never drank in Shields for years. I go to Newcastle now. Much more variety of bars and you can have a drink til all hours without hitting a nightclub. My regular drinking days in Shields was in the late 80's. I used to go in Limelights alot, but more often than not, I went to the Chelsea Cat which I thought was much better. As for Victors, well, went a few times, never saw trouble, but thought it was way overrated and had no atmosphere.
