Well, I guess you could try and take it... If it gets confiscated, it won't exactly be hard or expensive to replace.

there was a strict 'no nail bombs' policy last time i checked.

I think all kinds of bombs are frowned upon

Well, if you're feeling shy you could always try this approach.

I used to sniff poppers in high school with mates. Im not gay we just liked the 5-10 minute buzz you got from them. The things you do when your young lol.

I didn't know that... I guess it wasn't exactly as high profile as the smoking ban was it! I'm not surprised really, I doubt it does you much good especially when mixed with god knows what else people have down my local rave pit.

It's like dawn of the dead down there sometimes. :eek:

Love the sig gonzo... Could I get anymore off topic?

Yep, I've seen it on sale recently as well... I think they are keeping it on the down low, as it used to be mentioned on flyers for nights, but now it is no longer mentioned. I'm not really too bothered.... I tried it a few times, and it made me feel wobbly for a few mins, but nothing much really happened. Each to thier own I guess.

The glowsticks will have some nasty chemicals in them that could probably burn skin.

Unlikely, I'm sure I read that at one point it was a craze somewhere or other to go clubbing shirt-less with glowstick mixture rubbed on your chest!

geeza · 12 Jul 2007 at 17:18

yeh, ive spilt glow stick fluid on me before and it didnt burn. stains clothes though
