15 Things Only People From Bedford Will Understand
3. Mistakenly Thinking Oxygen Was Going To Be Like Ministry Of Sound
When you were 17 and on the brink of being an able-bodied adult with that always-wanted ID card (usually a provisional driving licence), Midland Road's Oxygen Nightclub seemed light years away from any house party dining-room dance floor you'd ever boogied on. All you seemed to hear from people in the years above you at school was how totally amazing and alcohol-infused and glitzy and bass-y Oxygen Night Club was. Oh - and how everyone was pulling in there, every weekend. Turns out Oxygen offered you two or three nights out in total where the girls didn't wear much and the guys perved on every lady, and there was constantly someone being sick in the toilet, and actually it was just FOUL in there. Thank heavens it shut down so you didn't have to go ever again.
I love Stephen King and music festivals; I eat my toast upside down; I daydream about getting married probably a bit too much; and I wish every day for a pet sausage dog puppy (who never materialises – sob).
