I remember going to the discos on wednesday nights for the under 18's. Lots of characters there....:D I also remember being barred from the nightclub when I was 18......How rough is that eh???? Of course, I was totally innocent of any wrongdoing;)

Re: funnies nightclub
 

I went a few times, surprised I got out after getting stuck to the carpet - anyone remember how sticky it was? gods knows what was on it

Re: funnies nightclub
 

I’ve never been but a friend of mine once went with his girl friend and while stood at the bar some bloke started feeling his girlfriends bum. She turned and told her boy friend this; he took one look at this bloke and said to her “you better let him :o ”. They supped up and left and never returned. :)

Re: funnies nightclub
 

How rough was that place? But i do think the majority of people who lived in Accrington must have gone at least once, myself included. Once was enough.

Which one was Funnies?

The one on Blackburn Road near the railway bridge?

If so yes I went and I loved it, it was so tacky, right up my street.

Re: funnies nightclub

Re: funnies nightclub
 

I loved it so tacky but all my mates were there always knew were to find them, more of a classy chick now though :-)

Re: funnies nightclub
 

Tell you what you can slag it off all you like.. but it was better than the Lard e dars...there wern't many places in them dark days.. always the last resort but they even let me in.

Re: funnies nightclub
 

Went a few times. Not that rough if you could stand up for yourself.

Once went with a group after a Christmas do and for a laugh we took the bosses son! He thought he was being really 'street' or something by coming in but it definitely made him nervous - he gave us a bit more space after that. :D

Re: funnies nightclub
 

Used to go to the under 18's disco which was ok, went a couple of times to the normal nightclub, always felt uneasy though, then went into ladies loo's there wer 2 girls kissing and wee all over the floor, that was it for me, dont think I went back after that.

Re: funnies nightclub
 

We went down once when we thought Peel Park wasn't going to serve late, never went back it was rubbish

Re: funnies nightclub
 

twas a place that made the "Top Hat" seem upmarket.:D

Re: funnies nightclub
 

Got to say the Top Hat was theeeeeee last resort..as you say..them stairs were only a few steps.. but with two big ****** waiting at the bottom it seemed more like a lifetime..as Neil Armstrong said.."one small step for mankind...but a bloody great leap when you are in trouble"

Re: funnies nightclub
 

yeh tell that to my mate, who lost the sight in 1 eye in yon, :rolleyes:

Re: funnies nightclub
 

I used to go there, I also remember someone saying they were a scout for a model agency:eek::eek:

Re: funnies nightclub

Re: funnies nightclub
 

Lol, no way!:p

In my defence I did work in fashion, and did know a lot of models.:D

Re: funnies nightclub
 

I actually only went about five times, when I was up from London.

The girl I said it to could have been a model.

I didn't go around saying it to everyone.

I thought it was great, everyone was really friendly/or perhaps just really drunk.:D

Re: funnies nightclub
 

Must have gone on a bad night myself because I found them really menacing, hardly a place to relax and enjoy yourself:)

Re: funnies nightclub
 

I worked there for a number of years on and off

Til I was 21 .........so........
Nearly 7 yrs ago now:p

It was a laugh, most the time the atmosphere was great
People from 18 - 80, dancing, kissing:( and whatever else they got upto:rolleyes:

Still see a few of the staff from there and still cringe at a few of the customers from there:D lol

Re: funnies nightclub
