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.

    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap

      After enabling it in about:config, customize, density, compact; the toolbar/address bar gets smaller vertically. I enabled Nova, I notice the tab bar/title bar is a bit larger vertically now? Everything always becomes a waste of space.
    • Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in March, Microsoft first revealed Copilot Cowork, a new agentic AI experience in Microsoft 365 Copilot through which users can assign tasks to AI to complete in the background. After testing the service with a limited set of customers in Research Preview for a few weeks, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork to customers in the Frontier program on March 30. Today, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork worldwide for Microsoft 365 Copilot customers. The company also highlighted that Cowork became the fastest-growing feature in the history of its Frontier program. Unlike regular Copilot Chat, Copilot Cowork can run complex, long-running, multi-tool tasks from start to finish in the cloud by using organizational context through Work IQ. When compared to Claude Cowork, Microsoft claims that Copilot Cowork will be 30% to 40% cheaper on average with its Microsoft 365 connector. For now, Copilot Cowork runs on Anthropic models, including Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 4.6. However, Frontier customers can now use GPT-5.5. Microsoft also announced Cowork 1, a secure fine-tuned model coming in the next few weeks, which is designed to handle everyday Copilot tasks at a lower cost. To access Copilot Cowork, a Microsoft 365 Copilot user subscription is required. Usage is billed separately through Copilot Credits, based on model use, context retrieval, tool calls, and runtime. Pay-as-you-go pricing is set at $0.01 per Copilot Credit. To offer IT teams full control over usage costs, Microsoft provides spending limits, usage alerts, user-level controls, reporting, and prepaid usage plans for organizations. Usage-based billing begins today. However, Frontier customers who used Cowork between March 30 and June 16 will not be billed until July 1, 2026. The Microsoft 365 Copilot app now includes a toggle to enter the full Cowork experience. Microsoft is also adding partner plugins, with Enosix, Harvey, LSEG, Miro, monday.com, Moody’s, Morningstar, S&P Global Energy, and TeamsMaestro available now. Adobe, Atlassian, Box, Canva, Databricks, and others are coming soon.
