The other 8 stags are currently playing golf. Snakey and me are checking out the bars.
Currently in the Walkabout. On the menu, it mentions the "Boomerang card" it costs 3 quid and then entitles you to 25% off EVERYTHING. Our first round cost 6.20. I bought a boomerang card and the second round was 4.65. For two people.
Now imagine that later on we will be back here - upwards of 10 of us - and by merely presenting the Boomerang card we are going to get a quarter off.
It would have been madness not to purchase one!
And it is transferable - so Snakey can use it in Wimbledon. Corking!

Assuming you all survive whistle:
-
We have only encountered two players of the pink oboe so far.

Never mind, you may get lucky later on

Got back from the clubs at 4.45am. Not good.
-
BAD HEAD?
-
Not too bad. One of the boys spent over ?300 in the strip club...

Popcorn:

The groom has a broken hand - caused by punching the best man who had just bitten his ear. One of the party is AWOL and one appears to be coming down with swine flu.
-
Excellent. It's all going splendidly happy088
-
And there is a "friendly" match between Bournemouth and Southampton. The pub we are in was "trashed" last year by Southampton fans and there are police everywhere.
-
Jolly good. A nice riot will lend some colour to the weekend happy088
-
So we have a load of stag and hen parties, a poofs parade and pissed-up football hooligans looking for a fight. Could be interesting!

Being a local I have to say it bounds like your average Bournemouth weekend in June, July or August to me. whistle:

And you moved up North why rubschin:
-
Im' not sure if I will go to the pub today and see the remnants that return.
-
I imagine TMR will be safely back in Mrs TMR (2B)'s bosom
-
Don't think we should be too worried about TMR , strikes me that he can handle himself - as for the groom to be , his fate must be of some concern scared2:

And you moved up North why rubschin:
Well I did it in stages ~ Step one was to London (werk related), (previously I had commuted but separation and then divorce took me into London via Milton Keynes ~ too long a story) thence into the Northern Home Counties (Hertfordshire) 'cos who the feck can afford North London prices when you start having kids and a two room flat gets a bit cramped. Final move was due to impending enforced "retirement" and arrival of third child making the terraced cottage just to small for practicality. The lack of future income and curtailment of anticipated pension fund made it imperative that we find a cheaper place to buy thus enabling maximisation of existing assets. I had some capital and we first decided to try to extend existing home and invest in a "holiday" let property which would provide an income. One place, among many, that I looked for such a property was North Wales. Unfortunately Mrs S#2 loved the house we now live in (it is big, halfway up a mountain and has views of Snowdonia and the Irish Sea). TBF I too liked the house and location so we forgot our doubts about the natives and bought it. Took a year to sell the cottage because just at the point of putting it on the market our neighbour started to knock out the front of his cottage and extend so it cost me a bit in bridging finance etc although we did manage to let the cottage for a part of the time which we thought might help the finances a bit (two mortgages is never a good plan) but the remedial work after the tenants left made letting it out an uneconomic decision to have made.
Well you did ask and that is the short version!

Guinness. Vodka. Aftershocks. Jaegermeister bombs. Black Sambuca. Absinthe. We slept well last night. Now back, drinking Young's. Mrs TMRBB out shopping.

MMMMmmmm and what about all the goss - I feel there are some vitals missing from that statement rubschin:
No 'tour secrecy ' conditions will be accepted whistle:

Nothing too bad Miss D. The groom is still covered in make-up - it was waterproof stuff and we didn't have any make-up remover. There was nearly a fight in the B+B when one of the stags chopped the hair off one of the younger stags (who obviously spends ages perfecting the 'dragged through a bush backwards look') and I was fast asleep by 10pm.
-
PM me the real stuff then lol: lol: lol:
-
Nothing to add really - we are all a bit older and the main discussions were around what restaurant we were going to eat in, rather than how rat-arsed we were going to get and how much fanny we were going to try to infiltrate - like the younger ones do.
-
I have a vague recollection of Jagermeister shots on a skiing holiday... lots of them, all different noooo:
Very appropriate for a stag do though, if you know the label
-
The groom to be has been to the horse pickle today - about his hurting hand. They put it in plaster. He went home. Then he received a phone-call from a surgeon at his hospital insisting he goes in tomorrow to have the broken bones pinned and then put in plaster. How long does that take to fix up? He's getting married in 2 months!
It should be noted that, at about 1am I suggested he went home angel1
