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.

    • Threads scales past half a billion users, brings deeper community and feed controls

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Threads scales past half a billion users, brings deeper community and feed controls by Fiza Ali Meta has announced Threads crossing a major milestone of 500 million monthly active users. And, at the heart of this growth sits something simple: communities. From books to basketball, parenting to music, Threads says its rise has been powered by people clustering around shared interests and, in turn, giving the platform its identity. In response, the platform is expanding its Communities feature beyond beta and introducing a set of new tools designed to make participation easier and more engaging. A redesigned Communities Hub will now appear in the main navigation menu, allowing users to jump between groups without leaving their feed. Each community will also receive a distinct Community Icon, giving them clearer visual identity and making them easier to recognise across the platform. Then there’s Community Progress, which is a kind of live gauge showing how close a topic is to becoming a full-fledged community, alongside guidance on how users can contribute to its development. In addition, Meta is also expanding its Community Champions programme, recognising more users who actively contribute to community engagement. And then things go more local; Local Communities is already available in 100 countries, including North America, South America, Asia, and Europe but are now rolling out with native-language tags starting in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The platform is also expanding Live Chats to more communities in the coming weeks, adding features such as co-hosting and the ability to quote moments directly into users’ feeds. Beyond communities, Meta is tightening the loop between users and their feeds. Earlier this year came "Dear Algo," a feature that lets people tell Threads what they want more or less of. Now it’s being paired with a new tool, "Your Algo." It allows people to adjust how frequently certain topics appear, with options lasting one, three, or seven days. Meta says these preferences remain private and can be managed alongside “Dear Algo” in a unified settings hub. The rollout begins in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Finally, the company says these changes are part of an ongoing effort to refine Threads based on user feedback and that further updates will continue as the platform evolves.
