HIGHLIGHT: Another place to drink for free.

DOWNSIDE: Shut up, liver, you’ll be fine.

11 July

I’m pleasantly surprised that Jim is enjoying his job so much. Each afternoon as he gets ready for work he seems more enthusiastic than I’ve seen him in years, maybe because he’s head chef at a seafood restaurant and finally making great money.

Strangely, he also appears more insecure than ever too. He keeps asking if I’m going to leave him or if I’ve ever cheated. Why is he contemplating these things when we’re getting along the best we have in years?

I mulled this over at the beginning of the night while I sat sipping a lemonade and waiting for the club to fill. I’m quite proud that my health regime is ongoing. I was impressed with myself last night for only indulging in a two free-drink maximum before work at Roman Bar.

Aliah proved to be a kindred spirit with our Clique, and the girls bought her a gram of speed to tell her so. Nothing says ‘I accept you’ like mutual drug taking. And her fiancé, Guy, is a charming and cool dude.

As I finished my lemonade, Charlie brought her bouncy curls, freckles and exuberance over and sat next to me at the bar. We chatted about my upcoming birthday party. Then she switched to the thing I consider her least attractive interest: malicious gossip. ‘Did you hear that so-and-so has been sleeping with bikers—plural—at their clubhouse? And so-and-so is doing her best friend’s husband? And so-and-so is a full-blown heroin addict now. And—’

‘Stop!’ I cut her off because for Chrissake, who the fuck needs that kind of negativity? I like gossip as much as the next girl, but only when it’s fun and full of mirth, not damaging. I also like Charlie, I truly do, but her love of spreading rumours makes her resemble a soufflé with fishhooks: delicious and fluffy, but filled with dangerous barbs. I have to be careful which secrets I share with her.

A bucks party came teeming through the door, and I suddenly thought listening to Charlie’s gossip might not be so bad.

All the girls groaned in tandem. Bucks parties are rarely a stripper’s favourite thing. They arrive boisterous and rude after drinking all day long, often dressed in stupid outfits, with an awful pack mentality.

For any woman who has wondered how their men act on a stag night at a strip club, the answer is simple: APPALLING! Oh, you might get the one supposedly nice guy who will apologise for his friends’ behaviour, but more often than not he is using that approach as a ploy to get laid.

A large group on a stag night rarely equals a lot of money; they are there to spend all their cash on alcohol, and on the buck. If you’re the lucky girl they choose to entertain the man of the hour, they’ll all throw in money for you to dance for him. It might be just enough for you to take him for a personal lap dance—or they’ll raise a bit more to see the buck humiliated on centre stage.
