Subthread: what did you do for your 17th birthday?

  • 17? I can’t even remember what I did for my last birthday!
  • Went to a pizza restaurant with friends and hung around for ages because we were £40 short and nobody had brought enough money
  • Hired a hall that was too big for the number of people who actually turned up
  • Went and got wasted in the park
  • Nothing
  • Other option

went to the pub i think

#17

I’ve included the three options that were the most common amongst friends of mine. Oh I missed “had a house party that ended up getting out of control” though I think all the house parties I went to at that age were ridiculously tame.

I was a ridiculously tame 17 year old tbf.

My friend and I share the same birthday so we would always take it in turns to host our birthdays at each others places. 17 was at her house :smiley:

Everyone was extremely drunk. I remember walking into the livingroom, one friend was thrown up and passed out on the sofa, walked out to the patio just as another friend projectile vomited, walked back into the house and had sex in a bathroom. YES.

Yep, I was a ridiculously tame 17 year old. Uni came as quite a shock to the system.

Happy Birthday DiS.

Cheers for a daily dose of snark and casual radiohead chat.

Went to the long since knocked down and replaced with flats, RG1’s with some mates, which was technically the night before, meaning I woke up with a hangover and so much regret, before being taken out for my first driving lesson by my dad.

exact same :smile: at one point the bar manager goes ‘so presumably the rest of you already turned 18 right…’ ‘erm… yes?’

I hope not, the new boards are great.

Maybe the link between the actual DiS website and these boards needs to be built back…because I presume it’s had a bad effect on traffic.

I was going to reply to Grant Nicholas’ post on your fb but I bottled it coz I ended up on DiS from an unofficial Feeder messageboard and, as a 32 year old, this was too embarrassing for me to admit to a member of Feeder. @sean validate me

Happy birthday dis! :birthday: Thanks for the new boards sean

Maybe whenever an article is posted on the site, a thread could be made on the music board linking to it, then people could see it and discuss it if they want.

(it’s possible that this already happens, I’m not on the music board that often)

It doesn’t. But it should

I like the new forums. Don’t you?

Have done an audit of who didn’t wish DiS HB btw.

It hasn’t affected traffic at all.
