With the bank holiday weekend in the UK fizzling out under a rain cloud, this next piece pretty much sums up every miserable wet-weekend disco we've ever been too…<\/span>


A reason to stay in<\/span>

Men glance across the room as they wait at the bar to order a drink<\/span>
Women dance across the room as they wait for the men to stop and think<\/span>
Men start to pick their target and the foes that they plan to eventually fight<\/span>
Women start to pick at their hair as they get ready to invest for the rest of the night<\/span>
Men have decided: they want the pretty, the cute, the drunk and the easy<\/span>
Women have decided: they don\u2019t want the petty, the poor, the ill hung or the sleazy<\/span>
Men start to drink too much; they get aggressive and start a commotion<\/span>
Women start to drink too much; they get suggestive, and put all the wheels into motion<\/span>
Men get kicked out, so they\u2019ll fuss and they\u2019ll fight, they\u2019ll leave with disgust and they\u2019ll go for a bite.<\/span>
Meanwhile, the women end up taking home the guy who said that fighting was petty.<\/span>
Men wake up the next day with a banging headache and the smell of staleness.<\/span>
Women wake up next to the sleazy guy with the small dick who was too poor to pay for a taxi last night.<\/span>


* Sunil Sandhu<\/span> says…  I have just finished a degree in law but besides that, I have been writing since I was 13 which means that I am nine years in the making!<\/span>
