My Stag Do

[+Nik Louch Subscriber²]

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 :)

To be honest. Unless your mates etc are completely mental, your stag do will not be like what you see on TV.

Mine was pretty tame. Got drunk, went to bed late. Did a few bars and clubs and a comedy club, some food etc. It was all good, but nothing to mental.

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

Yeah, I know it's not gonna be like in the movies. A few mates are suggesting Vega, but with the wedding I cannot afford this.

I like the idea of paintballing, karting, comedy club in another city. Then lunch the next day.

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.

My mate did paintballing for his stag do. Was a hella good time because we were playing with and/or against other stag do's on the day, which made it a good, yet competitive, laugh :)

Congrats too :)

Never having done paintball before, will be an experience. Need to find a decent city with:

Paintball

Gokarting

Comedy club

Karaoke club...

I could recommend Glasgow, as it has them all and it's not too far away, and relatively cheap :D

I'm guessing a stag do is like a bachelor party?

I'd say that you should start off with some paintball, then maybe hit some clubs or karaoke bars before heading back home and hanging out until morning. Remember, this is your night/weekend!

Hey Glasgow isn't that bad.

How about Edinburgh, i have had a few friends who have went there for Stags and they have enjoyed it.

I am also sure that they have paintball and Gokarting up there.

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 ;)

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Edin is pretty expensive from what I remember, and a complete dive. Glasgow is definitely the better night between the two (Y)

Anyways sorry for all the off topic scots discussion lol

Ask Purelegend....about Brighton...not the gays :p

Why has no one mentioned strippers yet?

[Jeremy Kyle]

Congrats! As for ideas, there are plenty of website that give you ideas but I highly recommend leaving the country you live in. So much fun! Don't stay in the UK though, its a crap hole and the prices for drink/hotels etc is massively inflated.

You could ask Purelegend about both it would be an interesting stag do. :p

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.

Paintball - with a difference

Leaving the uk is an idea I had originally had, but costs, etc... I can afford it but not all my mates can!
