"Conversation Starters...what are the classics?"

As a few of you know I'm going out with some students to a club but because they are students I only have a couple of things in common with a few of them. This means that apart from "Hi, how are you?","What you been doing?", "How's uni going?" and so on are the only things I can think of saying before i run out of ideas. Hopefully when we're all rat ar$ed I wont need to say anything but it's the whole sober stage at the start I need to fill. Come on, what should I say? I am sooooooo timid, take pity on me and tell me all your classic convo starters. Go on, thanks y'all

I'm 17 on November 2nd this year

Hmmm EB and FFF both have some goodun's but I was thinking of steering away from the topics that will make me sound like an idiot or insult them greatly. I'll probably manage that all by myself.

Oh well.

Seriously? Are you like 14 or just really stupid for someone your age?

These forums have gotten better over the years

"If you could invite ten people, living or dead, to a dinner party - who would you invite?"

"So this bloke walks into a pub, right? OK, tell a lie, nobody goes into a pub alone, unless you're an alcoholic or a date rapist or anything...can I take a look at that glass, there's something round the edge...only kidding luv. So these two blokes walk into a...no, they've got the second bloke's bird with them. So they all...oh, and the bird's fat mate, so the four of them go into a pub.

Facepaint? So the fourteen of them walk over to the fruit machine and..."

freestyle it from there
