tonyh29 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) That's something that pisses me off that shouldn't actually. Being invited to a stag do, and it's in the UK. on a similar sort of theme couple of my mates are turning 50 , so lads weekends being arranged my suggestions - Vegas , Moscow , Beirut Group conseses / suggestions - Brussels , Hamburg , Copenhagen ... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz would only have been more dull had they suggested Amsterdam of course it's their weekend and I'll go regardless but the lack of imingaination makes me a bit meh about the whole thing .. in years to come you want to look back at these landmark events and say "well that was a a bit different" ... my 40th and crossing the date line and thus turning 40 twice was that a little bit different and will always raise a smile when i think about it (turned 40 in a bar in Auckland , left the bar at 3am , did the harbour trip at 10:00 , took a flight at 15:00 to Apia and landed there the day before my birthday , so turned 40 again in a bar in downtown Apia .... actually took a day trip to American Samoa the next morning 9and still my birthday) so had a beer in 3 countires around 2000 miles distance on the same day ) and Samoa has moved back across the dateline so it can't be done anymore ... my 50th needs some careful consideration , buggered if I'm going to bloody Brussels Edited April 1, 2015 by tonyh29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidlewis Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 It's £360 all in. I didn't want it abroad because stag venues abroad are full of words removed. Would rather drink, play sport and fifa tournament and eat like kings. There is 11 of us. Venue has pool, snooker, table tennis and table football. Hot tub and tons of other stuff. £55 for all food and drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to be too soppy about it, but it really depends on who goes. If it's your stag do and you're going with your mates and you all know what you enjoy then it'll be **** great whether you go to Timbuktu or Birmingham. Personally I'd be more than happy with the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hull is dangerous it's full of northeners who will steal your children and force them to work up chimneys or down a pit Edited April 1, 2015 by tonyh29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 1, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) I get it. Beirut is really different and perceived to be a bit dangerous but ultimately probably isn't that bad if you actually go there. That's your thing and fair play to you for it. But it's not for everyone. Maybe I'd have a great time in Beirut. But you could say that about any city in the world. I might have a great time in Novosibirsk but I'm still not going there on my stag do and I'd be pretty annoyed if my best man chose that as the destination.

Stevo985 Posted April 1, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted April 1, 2015 Anywhere else in the world but those three cities and we're golden On a serious note, I think i'd have two stag dos, which seems to be quite common these days for people who have their main stag do abroad. I'd do a weekend away with a few friends. Dunno where, somewhere with a beach and decent nightlife is all I'm really bothered about. Then I'd have a big night out back in the UK where everyone is invited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
