So i have to ask if anyone's been to one in the UK? There massive student events/festivals where your normally fancy dress to a theme. You buy a shirt to get in on it, you have goals to meet and you get drinks dirt cheap along with free entry to a good few clubs. There a blast and I'd recommend them to anyone. Hitting Liverpool's Doctor's and Nurses tonight so should be a fun

I was about to link to the pictures but the gallery is down atm

Also should mention that a portion of the shirts price goes to trained paramedics that patrol around during the night along side extra security. Just in-case of any mishaps ;d

So yeah? Any other veterans out there?

There was a little controversy over Carnage with my Students' Union at Uni, they were worried about the safety of students as previous Carnage events had resulted quite badly for some areas and whilst obviously they couldn't ban it or force students away they were trying to encourage people from not going. At the time I was on the executive committee at the time, so I had to go to a meeting which was basically about 'how are we going to deal with Carnage?' There was plenty of police on the streets.

However, as far as the facts went, it was at times a little difficult to tell the difference between the sensationalism within the SU and the actual hard cold facts. This was 3 years ago mind you.

I didn't go, but my night outs were either organised by mates or just on the basis of "I feel like going out".

Birmingham just had theirs last Monday. Every night like this inevitably results in someone doing something stupid.

I think carnage is famous for pictures of someone urinating on a war memorial. But I think they've learned from that and now have alot more people shepherding the students between bars.

Well i had alot of fun, 11 hours drinking (broken up ofc) 4 hours sleep, 19 hours on a piece of toast xD

An between the giant penis's and gay jokes all over my top, there is 3 numbers of some very nice ladies. Happy days!

An on the guy and the memorial, he was a drunk idiot, wearing a top wouldn't change that. He could have went on any of the daily deal's at the bars an got just a drunk and did that so
