Why the fuck do men seem to think it is essential for them to have stag nights over an entire weekend
in a foreign country. Look, I like you, and I'd happily celebrate your upcoming nuptials, but I'm not giving up my while fucking weekend and flying all the way to Germany to do it.

Yes I know you came up to Edinburgh for mine, but lets face it, I organised that myself and it was far, far less hassle than flying to fucking Germany.

Men are so insensitive.

I want you to promise me to steer clear of them in the future, I don't want you getting hurt.

I think they assume
that if it happens in another country, worse stuff can go on

I also don't get this
I specifically made sure that all we did was go out and drink a lot of beer and dance to terrible music. I don't like getting utterly paraletic and I don't like being humiliated in public.

Agreed it makes no sense
plus being in a foreign country means much fewer safety nets really. Plus the chance of missing your plane back

I went to 3 last year
One was a typical boozefest in Bristol, one was a small retreat to Ireland to shoot rifles and drink in the countryside, the last included a weekend away doing Go Ape and Alton Towers.

Maybe you're right
I went to Budapest for a weekend about 4-5 years ago for another guy I know. Apart from all the strippers it was generally a fun weekend. We went pistol shooting.
(Bazongaloid, Wed 26 Jan 2011, 15:59, Reply)

I AM RIGHT.
Really, think of your typical stag night, like something seen in a movie, would you do any of those things? Likely not.
( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 26 Jan 2011, 16:02, Reply)

No
but I wouldn't have done them even before I was married.

Is it really that much hassle?
Besides it might be cheaper.
(Zoz prayed for twink on, Wed 26 Jan 2011, 15:51, Reply)

Flying anywhere is a massive fucking hassle
Flying to somewhere and then back less than 48 hours later is even more of a fucking hassle.

My mate said to me "Oh and if I get married I'm having a hen week abroad and you're coming. None of your sun-allergy shit."
I said, "I'm not coming. Slags Abroad isn't my thing, I don't like vomiting up cocktails, and I'm not paying money to sit under the shade in searing heat while you wenches call me miserable."
It's a wonder I have any friends.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 26 Jan 2011, 15:58, Reply)

at least you're honest!
who the hell would want to spend money to go away for a week and celebrate someone elses wedding? that's ridiculous. And selfish of the bride.
( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 26 Jan 2011, 16:06, Reply)

See her other mates would all love it
So it would be worthy of their money and leisure time.
Not mine though!

I just have a friend that would be the same way, she's done it for years with loads of stuff
it's gotten to the point that she doesn't ask me to do anything anymore

and expensive,
then you have spend even more attending the wedding, getting a present etc
(DeeDee, Wed 26 Jan 2011, 15:58, Reply)

I don't find it too bad
In most cases not taking hold luggage and doing online check-in seems to take some of the pain out of it. I suppose starting from London adds to the hassle somewhat.

You need a nice hot cup of man the fuck up
followed by a nice portion of dry your eyes, petal.

If you don't want to go, don't. It's not for your benefit, is it?
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 26 Jan 2011, 15:51, Reply)

I'm almost certainly not going to go
But I feel it is a shame that people feel that it's not a "proper" stag night unless you actually go away to a foreign country for a whole weekend. Surely the clue is in the name "stag night".
(Bazongaloid, Wed 26 Jan 2011, 15:56, Reply)

I agree with you
It's an annoying trend of the past 10 years isn't it?
And all that matching t-shirt with nicknames on thing.
Sorry If you did that for yours.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 26 Jan 2011, 15:52, Reply)

I don't see how it's possible for that many people to all have nicknames.
It took me 27 fucking years to get a nickname from my friends and it's just because they don't want to have to spell out my name properly so they call me K.

I think it's utterly trashy when girls go out and have the veils and necklaces with dicks on them.
( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 26 Jan 2011, 15:56, Reply)

I went to one that was gorgeous.
Beautiful house in the Cotwolds, a chef came and made our food, we went wine tasting. All until the final night.
A penis cake made by the bride's mother, and penis drinking-straws.
Seriously girls, fucking have a word with yourselves.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 26 Jan 2011, 15:59, Reply)

Oh good lord.
That's just so....glechk. I will admit to having a shot glass with a light up penis in it, only because it's funny to trick someone with it.
But going in public dressed like that? Gross. Even the gypsies have better taste than that.

Well we didn't go anywhere, but I still thought it was mongy.

I went on a stag weekend in Germany a couple of years ago.
It was a huge waste of time.

We did nothing there that we couldn't have done in the UK but because it was 'foreign' it was supposed to be more interesting. Bollocks was it.

I've got another stag weekend coming up soon in Ibiza.

I imagine that'll be 'fun' pub followed by 'fun' pub.

Well, 'fun' if you're a moron.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 26 Jan 2011, 16:04, Reply)

That sounds like it will be really horrific
falling out of pubs in to gutters surrounded by vomit and orange semi-naked harridans. I mean, why go to Ibiza when you could do exactly the same in Blackpool for a fraction of the price!?
