Sweet Pete Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 That sounds quite similar to my brother-in-law's stag do, both of my brother-in-law's. The first we all met in a pub in the west end and he decided he wasn't up for it, so despite all his friends and family being there he pretended to have a sore leg after about 3 pints and got a taxi home. I was there with my mate and the stag was the only person there we knew, so we too fucked off home. The second we went to the dog track and it was braw, hard to get near the bar for a drink, but otherwise a good laugh. From there we went to Maggie Mays, which is a pub I enjoy, but the stag and best man insisted we go to the club part downstairs, which it being early we were the only people in and they resisted all attempts to go elsewhere or in any way liven up the proceedings (shots, drinking games, actually speaking to each other) so the second half of the night was a complete washout. Stag do's in general tend to be shite in my experience. Except for mine. Big shout to Smurph who along with myself was the only person to last the distance and drink til 6am. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that there needs to be some sort of plan needed to keep it on track. As far as I could see this one was meet at Codonoas at 2, go to casino at 7. Fill in the rest on the day. The amount of time spent outside pubs as folk moaned that you don't get good beer in there etc was a joke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you need the dominant personalities to hand out the telt to any dissenters from the plan. For example, it shouldn't be open to a vote which pubs are on the itinerary, it should simply be decided be the cool kids and the jobbers just need to go where they're told and be ignored if they whinge or gripe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. In fairness in my eyes on a stag do you go wherever the stag wants to go. I've never set foot in half the pubs we went into as they aren't my scene but never moaned once.

Swarley Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Do you get Rolos in that 3rd world country you reside in?

19QOS19 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Someone in the group was desperate to go to the gay bar, eh? The groom to be would be my guess, seeing as he was on the phone to his "fiancé" B) Rumbled! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellfan09 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Ordinarily I just throw grocery receipts in the bin, but I was having a quick glance at mine there just now, and noticed that Lidl has charged me for 10 tins of Kidney beans instead of the 2 I bought this morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellfan09 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Ach, what's 50p in the grand scheme of things. £1.84 actually!

Bobby Skidmarks Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I don't think I want a stag do for my wedding and if I did i would only want guys that I am friends with in Edinburgh. My older friends from years gone by who would take the huff at not being invited are the types that hang about in cliques and still enjoy rowdy lads nights out, setting off fireworks etc and would probably want a humiliating blackening for myself to cap off my misery if we did go on a stag do. I also don't have a clue who I would ask to be my best man. This stresses me out more than marriage itself. Setting off fireworks? Stay well clear of those boys, throbber. Where's your stag do? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why people wouldn't go back for that. They'd just be more vigilant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea, probably just have to rely on a bit of goodwill from them. Obviously it isn't really much of an issue for 23p cans of kidney beans, but if was ten fillet steaks at £6/7 a pop then f**k knows what the protocol is 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellfan09 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) I'd hope you'd notice being charged for 10 fillet steaks at £70 as opposed to 10 cans of Kidney Beans at £2.30! Perhaps fillet steak was a bit of an extreme example but for a large shop it could be fairly easy to miss being overcharged £20 or so. Lets say 10 packs of bacon instead.

Grim O'Grady Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Let me answer this for you, Grimbo. I didn't make the cut. We wasn't expecting fireworks. But was hoping you'd bring the sparklers. Damn, back to the drawing board. Oh Philpy, it's going to have to be your tried & tested "bus stop" method. Throbber have you got a pool cue, pal?
