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.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
