Hold on a second, what's your name?
'coz if your name's not on the list you're not coming in
Oh! you're a VIP, really sorry, please go in
have a good evening!
Oh! I'm really glad you made it
In fact you know this party is not for me, no!
It's all for you, all one hundred
thousand of you
because you are such amazing contributors to this community
so, surprise!
So first things first, let's get you a drink
Hey guys! what can I get you?
Oh! sorry what can I get you means
what would you like to drink
in the UK we usually have a selection of beers, ciders, wines
cocktails and spirits
Or would you prefer something non alcoholic, you can have mocktails
can also have juices, soft drinks and bottled water
um... but if you don't want to pay for water you can just ask for
tap water and that's free but if it's
a celebration we Brits like to mark the occasion with some
bubbles or bubbly which refers to champagne or Prosecco
so pop the cork let's fill our glasses
and let's make a toast
a toast is a ritual where a drink is taken as an expression
of goodwill, so here is a toast to you
TO YOU!
in a general drinking situation we don't toast
but cheers
with a fresh drink we clink our glasses together
look each other in the eye and say cheers and then
drink before you put the glass down
CHEERS!
if you're going out out, which means
if you are going on a big night out, then you
probably at some point have a shot
thrust into your hand and you have to down it
at the same time as everybody else
or you may hear this cry
this means that you're supposed to down your drink
in one go
and after that, you are gonna need to use the facilities
or the loo or the toilet
or spend a peny, however you want to say it
hard luck if you're a girl as there is always
a queue
so don't be surprised gentlemen if you see a desperate lady
running into the gens
the ladies' toilet is a hive of activity with women
coming and going
and uhm... that
is not uncommon don't ask me why, but we ladies
like to go in twos, now
the ladies' toilet generally is a place to touch up your makeup
make sure you look fabulous and it's a place of some serious gossip
now, I don't personally know
but I hear that men's toilet is very different
although there is one thing we have in common
and that's this friendly face sitting in the corner
no thank you, be warned that if you
do accept one of this generous gifts
then you will be expected to give a tip
no party is complete without throwing a few shapes
oh! and that means to do some dancing
if you're lucky you might experience some incredible
dancing, just like these guys
but what you'll probably experience is a little bit of
ladies dancing around "handbags" and what
we lovingly called "dad dancing"
as the night moves on, people will inevitably become
more than just tipsy, tipsy means a little bit drunk
but towards the end of the night people are probably going to be
very drunk
now, it depends on the person
but there are lots of different types of drunk, for example
we have: a "happy drunk"
an "aggressive drunk"
the "sleepy drunk"
the "liability"
the "crier"
the "vomiter"
the "flirtatious drunk"
but hopefully no matter how much or how little you've had to drink
you will have an incredible time
dancing the night away, let's go
