145 - Essential Elements For A Stag/Hen Do

[Arch Stanton]

Hello everyone, my apologies for not posting up a new Death Match for ages. I was busy organising a stag do for phantom forum member The Gua Bullet.

...And that got me to thinking that in these uncertain times, filled with distancing and isolation, what better tonic than to get us all focussing our minds back to what it was like before the virus, back when we were still able to meet up in groups and party. Which brings us to this latest DM and the big question: 'What essential elements should I have included in The Gua Bullet's stag do?'

What factors are absolutely crucial/essential to ensure you have organised the perfect hen/stag do?



As suggested by: The Gua Bullet.
Pick up to 5 ingredients and remember jno's paying for the first round.

I think for British folks, a stag do is a really big deal - certainly I know one or two locals in Bratislava sick to death of Brits going there and smashing it up and falling over throwing up, however much money they might bring into town.

To be honest, a couple a pints, a singalong and a bit of grub and I'm happy. I really couldn't care less about the weekend away or smashing up the town. Yes, I know, I'm a killjoy but hey, what's new.

Jimminy Christmas, you are such an old woman jno.
Your ideal elements wouldn’t even phase a scout troop.
At your singalong do you sing ‘Ging Gang Goolie’?

Remind me never to let you organise a future stag do.

I think it's worth making a list of what aims and objectives of a stag do are, then decide on what to vote for above.

If it’s having the saddest stag do imaginable, only fit for girl guides and the over 80s then yes, you’re right I’d choose options like:

Nice shoes, high tea and having a sing-a-long.

“... and then later on at the stag do jno organised we all had a cup of tea and enjoyed a cheeky Werther’s Original, while we all sat down quietly and listened to The Archers on the wireless.
It really was a fun day out until my feet got sore and I had to call it a day.”

I'm with jno on not having to make it a weekend away etc. I don't see the point of that.

Stay local.

One afternoon & evening on the p$ss with a drinking based theme involved sch as score sheets that have to be signed by barstaff in allotted dinking establishments (bribes will be punished), getting momento's from pubs (small enough to fit on the minibus please) and being able to conduct yourself with a modicum of decorum whilst playing 'Fuzzy Duck' with 8 pints on board (good luck wit that one)!

Forfeits given for drinking misdemeanours (spillage/wastage), social faux pas (burping in female company) and not rising to/partaking in,or failing drinking challenges.

Smart shoes and clothes (also themed) as you don't want to look like a bunch of misfits and some decent pub grub during early evening is a must to ensure longevity.

Also...'Tactical Chunders' (making yourself sick to allow room for more beer) are to be punished with points deducted from score sheet and/or taking a forfeit.
