You only get one offer of a course every three years, so if your last one was under three years ago, you won’t be offered one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 @bicksterwould I be right in saying you can do a motorway one and a non motorway one. I may be wrong on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously peer pressure comes in and you have to put up with being called lightweight/killljoy etc which I can happily do without. But it generally ruins the night. Everyone is nicely drunk and having fun. Half an hour later Dave is trying to fight the bouncer. Terry is chucking up all over the floor. Mike and Tina are shouting at each other and everyone wants to go home because the room is spinning. It's just a purile childish thing that I grew out of when I was 21 but some people still think it's a **** amazing fun thing to do. Also see spiking drinks on a stag doo. Yey, let's ruin the night.

Yey, let's ruin the night. sounds like you need new mates! seriously though i think generally as we've gotten older it's become more acceptable for someone to say no to drinks and not get the piss taken out of them with regards to stag do's, that's another thing i can say has gotten so much better as we've gotten older. went to hamburg once, footy was on in an irish bar (standard), there were 2 stag groups in there, us and one other. we were getting nicely drunk throughout the afternoon with our stag having no more than the rest of us and just generally keeping it reasonably sensible knowing that we had an evening out ahead of us. the other group seemed to be on a mission to get their stag absolutely battered. shot after shot after shot to the point that he couldn't stand when we left the place at around 5pm. i remember thinking what absolute pricks those lads were. it was (hopefully) the only stag this guy's ever going to have and he's going to be passed out in his hotel room whilst the rest enjoy a night out without him because there was no way he was going to be in any condition to do anything else that night. and whilst we're on "things that piss us off" you always get the inane 'bet you're fun at parties' comment on social media whenever you say anything like i've just said above. i am fun at parties, because i don't drink to the point of unconciousness. you actually need to be awake and semi-coherant to be fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of times you see these kind of answers drives me mad. “No idea, returned mine” Great, thanks. Why the **** did you answer?

Told my mates I’m not doing them and if they buy me one it’s a waste. It’s been a revelation. Shots always ruin the night for me. It’s always the point where I go from tipsy to absolutely completely **** and end up not remembering the night. Which I used to hate. I break it for special occasions but I’ve done it so often now my friends just know not to buy me them 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The food and drink are simultaneously shite and overpriced. The beagle is having a great time though. Just got back, weather has been absolutely glorious for the couple of hours before we left to come home We reckon for the Thursday to Sunday caravan break we’ve spent nearly a grand all in. Absolutely crazy amount of money for what we got. 3/10 WNB again. (as a family we have had a nice time, some good family memories. I just get frustrated at what we always see on UK breaks which is the battle between what’s the most they can charge for everything and the least they can get away with supplying).

I just get frustrated at what we always see on UK breaks which is the battle between what’s the most they can charge for everything and the least they can get away with supplying). It’s half term pricing and luck with the weather, but does actually need decent weather if you’ve got kids. We went to Cornwall 2 weeks ago, paid less than £300 for a place with 3 bedrooms, and decks that faced sunrise and sunset and had a swish modern kitchen. 10 minutes outside Padstow. The morning it rained, we sat around drinking coffee and reading for a couple of hours. No way could we afford this week’s price for the same place, and in July the price will have a 1 in front of it. Not being stuck with summer term times for holidays is glorious. Not needing to entertain kids is glorious. In other news, we’ve just bought a white rug. White! I never dreamt we would get to the point we could have a white rug. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
