 E già che ci siamo, coinvolgiamo anche i "colleghi" di I.C.L.Inglese.
Va bene. Fra l'altro, più sopra parli dei pubs come se fossero una
cosa nettamente distinta dai nightclub, mentre secondo me sono anche
loro un tipo di nightclub, dove magari la "night" finisce abbastanza
presto. Fra l'altro, mica è obbligatorio che i pub chiudano alle 11 di
sera: la maggior parte sceglie quell'orario perché la licenza per
vendere alcolici dopo le 11 costo moltissimo di più, e quindi se la
possono permettere solo i pub del centro delle grandi città, che hanno
la certezza di riempire quasi sempre la sala.

Gi�, dipende da che amici e che club si frequentano.
Vedi per es. questo libro che tratta dell'ampio spettro dei diversi tipi
di club
"Inside Clubbing" puts the spotlight on club culture--in all its sweaty,
visceral, and seductive glory. Jackson guides us through the huge
spectrum of the club experience, moving from hip-hop clubs to fetish
events via queer, trance, Asian, techno, drum 'n' bass, and sex clubs.
Drawing on interviews with clubbers from a variety of backgrounds, he
dispels myths and offers new insights into the contemporary clubbing
scene. Contrary to popular perception, clubbing is not just for youths:
the clubbers in Inside Clubbing range from their mid-twenties to
mid-fifties. Many have been on the scene for years and offer a
historical perspective on changes over the last decade. Jackson explores
the real practice of clubbing first-hand and offers the most balanced
and sophisticated understanding of the club scene to date.

The 'sweaty , visceral ,(sic) and seductive glory' of the night-club was 
never all that seductive for me , and I have resisted its appeal for some 
years now ; but I agree more or less entirely with what Cingar says . The 
scope of the book quoted from above is wider than the context Cingar implies 
: for example , if you went clubbing , heterosexuals might visit a gay club 
(probably much  more common now than in my day) , but you wouldn't expect to 
spend the night in the kind of club described (pp.234-243) by Howard 
Jacobson in his latest novel , 'The Act of Love' (a fetish club) .
As Cingar says , 'pub' and 'club' overlap these days , especially in cities 
, though it is of course the emphasis on music/dancing , as well as the 
typical opening hours , which generically distinguishes them ; every club 
(of the kind covered by 'going clubbing') has a dance-floor as well as music 
; not that many pubs do ; a few pubs (thank God!) still exist without even 
'music'.

Se ho ben capito, delu sostiene che 
|>>>"clubbing" significa molto semplicemente "andare a ballare".
mentre Cingar sostiene che
|>>significa ancor pi� semplicemente "andare per nightclub". E

Yes . Every nightclub has facilities for dancing - but plenty of other 
things go on as well , and plenty of people (esp. male) go clubbing without 
any intention of dancing (in my younger days , you went to a club after the 
pubs shut because they were the only place then to get a drink - in fact , 
the only places open at all) .
