Tiger Wednesdays: The night we all hate to love

It's Wednesday night, it's cold and bleak outside, deadlines are approaching and you're feeling stressed and need to let off some steam. Where else would you go to drink away your worries, other than the supreme and almighty Tiger Tiger Weds?

It's the kind of night where you wake up in the morning with the fear, wondering what the hell you did last night. Only your 100 second long Snapchat story can help you piece together your antics, but you don't even care. It was, of course, a bloody massive do.

It's the only sensible choice for a Wednesday night in the Toon and those who say they don't enjoy it are either lying, kidding themselves or go to Northumbria #WeLoveDirtiz.

As the rest of town gets quieter, TigerWeds just gets busier with new and excited fans. The night where everyone is no one, every person can be themselves with no judgement, bust shocking dance moves in appalling outfits and no one even bats an eyelid.

Awful costumes are obligatory

11 o'clock strikes and up open the doors to the enigma that is the White Room. In stagger various societies, sporting worse outfits for a shitter theme than the week before.

Unless, of course, you're a football or rugby lad and too cool for a costume. With their ties pulled up to their collars, this is their playground now.

The clientele

Of course, you know everyone at TigerWeds. Whether it's the lads popping bottles in VIP who bought you a drink last week, the girl you pulled on your joint social last Wednesday, or that kid from your course you didn't even know went out, you're bound to bump into a few friendly faces.

It's just absolutely crazy. No one is sober, no one can stand straight and everyone is having the time of their lives. Every single person is of the same mindset and just wants to have a good'un. No fear of that here.

The drinks

Not that you need more drinks by the time that you get there, but the student friendly night gives out drinks at cheap and modest prices. At only £2.95 for a double, £1.90 for shots or £5 for a round including a double, Jager and a shot, you're laughing.

The photos

When you catch a TigerWeds photo on your timeline, you are sure as hell its a TigerWeds photo. There's either "couples" caught on kisscam, groups dressed in inexplicable outfits or some twats in orange t-shirts photographed 'sign-spinning' on the stage; surely they don't get paid for that?!

Celebs

Yes, you heard it correctly. They did have Tinchy Stryder performing on their opening night. Some other big names to be announced soon, you heard it here first.

In summary, whether you want to admit it or not, I'll be sure as hell to see you in the white room on Wednesday.
