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.

    • MakeMKV 1.18.4 Beta

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      Same Internet Archive seemed to grab the new version https://web.archive.org/web/20...d/Setup_MakeMKV_v1.18.4.exe Here's the link to an additional file it periodically downloads https://web.archive.org/web/20260213092148/https://www.makemkv.com/sdf.bin I think update's keys, etc. To manually trigger this update, put the sdf.bin file in the root of where the program is installed. When you launch the program it will pick up the file and import it. Typically put it here: C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV\sdf.bin
    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. Although the tech giant did not acknowledge any major problems, some users online reported various issues ranging from OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. You can read about them in this dedicated piece. While there is still no confirmation about those problems from Microsoft the company has admitted to another bug which we did not report on. The tech giant has confirmed it has received reports of an issue in which certain third-party applications may be unable to launch Microsoft Office apps or open Office documents after installing the Patch Tuesday. This affects both Windows 11 as well as Windows 10. The company says the problem impacts a subset of applications that rely on OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) automation to communicate with Microsoft Office programs. According to Microsoft, affected scenarios involve third-party software attempting to open Office applications or documents from within their own interface. In such cases, the Office program may fail to launch altogether, or the requested document may not open. Oddly there may not be any error message, which probably makes the issue difficult to diagnose. The bug affects several Office products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and other apps in the Microsoft Office suite when they are launched through the affected software. These include tax and accounting software such as CCH Engagement and Workpaper Manager, dental practice management solutions like Dentrix and Softdent, as well as the popular research and reference management tool Zotero. Microsoft adds that other applications using similar Office integration methods could also experience the same problematic behavior. To understand the issue it is important to look at OLE, the Microsoft technology involved. OLE allows different applications to work together and share data, while its Automation feature lets one program control another. Thus this enables third-party software to launch Microsoft Office apps, open documents, and perform tasks automatically without requiring users to switch between programs. Because many accounting, healthcare, research, and business applications rely on OLE automation to interact with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office apps, any disruption can break those workflows. As a result, affected software may be unable to open Office documents or launch Office applications even though the programs themselves continue to work normally. At the moment the company has not provided a permanent fix though it has confirmed that engineers are actively working on a resolution, which will be delivered through a future Windows update. As such additional details will be shared once more information becomes available. In the meantime, Microsoft recommends a simple workaround for affected users whic is to open the Office application or document directly rather than launching it through the third-party program. For enterprise customers and organizations managing larger deployments, Microsoft says an additional mitigation is available. Admins experiencing the problem on their managed devices are advised to contact Microsoft Support for business to obtain and apply the workaround.

      It saddens me when cars are such dull colours now. Mine is bright metallic blue and I absolutely adore it for standing out in contrast to that depressing backdrop of traffic.
