this could get us onto chinese translations of film titles, which is a hilarious little sidetrack :smiley:

Who was it who called stranger things, stranger than things? That’s in my head for life now, that’s what it’s called

A woman I used to work with read Game of Thrones as ‘Game of Thorns’ and it still cracks me up.

Oh yeah, I still call it that. I even met that lad who wrote it once (on a stag of all things) and all I could think of was that.

Reminded me of this study. The way the article is written really got me, the way this paragraph suggests the authors were either: standing detached at the corner of a stag party taking scientific note of a guy shitting himself or part of the group laying it on to the poor guy.

The authors report how they witnessed one man on a stag weekend with his friends being subjected to sustained ritual humiliation. His drinks were spiked with shots of spirits leaving him so incapacitated that he passed out in the bar, soiled himself and was tied up with cling film in their accommodation while still unconscious.

I’d fucking love to go on a stag do right now.

One of my best friends is getting a civil partnership with his girlfriend soon and I’m so glad to have a group of friends where bollocks stag stuff just won’t be a thing. I do think it makes a difference when partners are invited as it reduces the risk of #ladbants though.

Definitely we went through the phase of piss taking and some of it isn’t always on the right side of the line but would hope most people grow out of it by their late teens.

don’t think i’ve ever been on one of these rambunctious banter stags tbh. all of the pre wedding nights out i’ve attended have been mixed gender.

looking forward to calling someone a wanker for putting milk in their coffee at the earliest possible date though.

I wish i could!
do find the OTT bants / boys club vibes of them offputting sometimes but it’s overridden by my need to post nonsense about football with my online pals

Me too. With the right people, of course.

Only been on one that was a tad unpleasant (was very young and it was some guy on my football team who ended up naked and clingfilmed to a post) but then I’m pretty picky about who my pals are.

Most punishing moment at mine was a Mr and Mrs quiz where I had to take a shot every time I got a question wrong. But my best man kept it to a few questions at a time and spaced them out over a few days cause he’s not a prick and he likes me.

Yup. I’m a teetotaller with a very low threshold indeed for “laddishness” but there is not much better than being in a lovely city somewhere with mates you love just being really fucking silly for a few days.

My pal had his stag do in hamburg and all of them got dressed as Kevin Keegan in his Hamburg days, and took a pedal pub to the ground. The driver de-toured them through the St. Pauli area of the city so strangers could hurl insults at them from the pavement. Sounded like a great time and about the perfect banter level imo

We did a stag in Hamburg while the G20 was on and the city was locked down for rioting. We did a “beer bike” thing which we had to do through the suburban outskirts as a result, was fucking brilliantly surreal.

these look like an absolute nightmare every time i’ve seen them.

people who have been on a pedal pub:

  • fucking nightmare
  • neutral
  • no, was fantastic

Genuinely hard work and would’ve been absolutely dire but for the brilliant circumstances surrounding it

#190

On the one hand, beer
But on the other hand, cycling

#191

Had a double rum and coke the other night. Was fucked after it. Don’t know what I’m going to do when I eventually go to a pub. Die probably.

Just pretend your cycling and let everyone else do the work
