Clatty Pats

[Jazza]

This is possibly my favourite thread ever.

I still cant get it to add up. Young lady joins forum(s) pretending to be an older guy, asking about a nightclub that closed several years ago, in fact so many years ago that she barely even went to it at all. Are you writing a book? Doing market research for G1 group? Trying to track down your dad? So so random.

I must stick up for Clatty's. I met loads of great people there and had many top nights there in the 90s, the highlight of which was being thrown out on my hen night and my birthday (the same night), for having a bit of a strop when my sister-in-law had her purse stolen. She later found it in her back pocket - we were shivering on Great Western Road by then.

What a saddo.

Top night at Clatty Pats? Some of us have had better nights in MCTC Colchester.

Bit harsh, I had many great nights there in the 90s too.

The piss-poor attempt at viral marketing starts to make sense

IT was known as one of Glasgow's most colourful nightspots, the place to go for a cheap, cheerful and cheesy night out. Now, two and a half years after it closed, Clatty Pat's - the affectionate name for the former Cleopatra's nightclub in Great Western Road - is making a comeback.

More than 45 marketing students from Strathclyde University are arranging and marketing the first club night.

The full horror: Marketing Students, DADA, Strathclyde Uni. It's all too much...

Brilliant. This is now officially my favourite thread. We should should all go along for an HG drinks night.

classic thread

I personally had a few nights in Cleopatras in the late 80s but was so hammered I remember very little.

Maybe a marketing student could pay me some cash for these priceless recollections.

Nice one, another 1st poster chased off the board.

Keep up Sydney. You're about 5 posts behind events on this thread...

Reminds me of when somebody noticed that the "Bring Back Ringos" campaign web site was actually registered in the name of the Golden Wonder marketing department.

Very sorry. But I don't read this thread every day.

From The Diary http://www.theherald.co.uk/features/dia ... galore.php



News that west end bar complex Oran Mor is to have a monthly Clatty Pat's night in memory of the legendary, but now defunct, nightclub much loved by nurses and the inebriated, makes reader John Di Paola suggest: "Oran Mor is famous for its alliterations, such as A Play A Pie and A Pint.

"Will the Clatty Pat nights be known as A Grolsch, A Groove and A Grope?"

Case closed. Tony75 love, I'll be sitting here waiting for an apology from yourself of anyone else from DADA that's here to spam the forums in the name of low-cost business research. Perhaps hitting the streets with a clipboard might yield better results next time.
