Well, am getting wed on 4th Sep 2009 - and now it's time to plan my Stag do.

My original plan was to go to Magaluf and get drunk with mates, karaoke bars, clubbing, etc. But in the cold light of day - I'm not the heavy drinker I used to be, it's a lot of travel for a few days, some cannot afford the expense.

I also think I'd be better doing things that we will have good fun memories of, rather than just hangovers.

I still feel the idea of going to another city is a good one, and a night out would be good. But am looking at a weekends worth of fun.

The idea of paintballing is sorta cool, I like "doing" things...

Any suggestions guys?

Magaluf is not as good as it used to be, the old atmosphere is gone.

Maybe you should go paintballing (go-karting is pretty good as well) in the day, and then go out to a major clubbing city (Liverpool, Newcastle etc) in the night and get bladdered? A stag do without being insanely a drunk is not really a stag do imo :p

Congratulations on getting married by the way :)

Make a day of it, travel the day before to ur destination city, then do go karting or paintball, then hit a comedy club and just get as drunk as you feel, if you're friends are up for it, hit a strip club. They're rarely the huge affairs they're made out to be on TV.

Also get a load of disposable camera's so everyone can take pics to remember the event by

LOL @ strip clubs. Been to a few and to be honest they bore me. We're more likely to end up in a karaoke club if I have my way! ;)

Strip clubs - if I ain't getting any desert then I don't care to look at the menu. And the idea of paying for sexual gratification is abhorrent to me.

I will retract my statement about Glasgow. I will replace it with "I have been to Glasgow a few times and don't feel it's a city I'd be keen to party in, but I'm sure some would".

Been trawling the web - thinking Brighton is a good idea. Always loved Brighton. Love teasing the gays ;)

Theres Cardiff too, from looking on the net, its got:

Paintballing

Indoor Karting

Comedy clubs - Glee club.

Cardiff Bay - nice for lunch the next day

Very good night out, all the major clubs and pubs.

Your bound to find somewhere doing karaoke.

Although its quite a trek from Leicester -- Just looked and its only 2h50, didn't realise it's so close to Birmingham.

      Nice rant! Expletive after expletive after expletive. Poor petal, I've touched a nerve. Would you like a tissue to wipe those tears away. Btw, nice one calling Neowin trash. Why would you stick around when you disrespect this site and the people behind it? Just go away if you feel that way.
