Grants Stag Do

27 Mar 2010 - 11:00
28 Mar 2010 - 00:36
Etc/GMT

Grant is proposing to have his stag do on Saturday 10th April (the two back up dates are the 13th March and 27th March). At present it is likely to be:
Clay pigeon shooting – (I think he might be copying someone here)
Off Road Carting – (maybe not)
Jongleurs Comedy Club Broad Street (yep, he is copying)
And then Hotel on Broad Street for those that wish to stop

Prices
Clay Pigeon Shooting £42.50pp for 25 shots
Off Road Carting £42.50pp for 1hr session
Jongleurs £26pp although they told me a new pricing structure will shortly be announced
Hotel – best deal I have found is Jury’s Inn, based on 12 people, 3 people a room, £90 a room, £30pp
Therefore grand total around £140

So, who wants to see Grant get stupidly drunk again?

Mi Phone

I'll switch my other phone on if anyone needs to speak to me. Its 07805 216 123 I think. I can only see half the screen on it, so if you text me I will only understand half the message.

If you still fancy Friday i

If you still fancy Friday i will bring out a spare phone if you want, Country Girl?

Cheers

Yes, cheers Chris. I might have a new work one by then anyway but that'd be good.

no worries, i will bring it,

no worries, i will bring it, Country Girl at 8pm on Friday good for you?
actually will be out swimming on Thursday i can drop it by then

Swimming

I think I'm going to be at work tomorrow rather than swimming but hopefully I might be out for a bit on Friday if I finish early enough.

you are working on Good

you are working on Good Friday??!!

Yep

Bank holidays are double time, I am working as much as I can !

2.30 am

I got to work late tonight Chris, so I'll meet you tomorrow.

Oh and I got an new phone.

I'm hoping I don't have to come in at the weekend but I've got to start work at 2.30 a.m. on tuesday and work through till twelve go home for a few hours and the start again again about six.

:(

Damn Work

I think I've been at work for over 12 hours every day this week so far, 2:30AM is a bit extreme though !

I just got an e-mail off our increasingly hard to find project manager - I don't think anyones actually seen him in person for several weeks now. It said that we need to get everything finished and tested before the 12th April at whatever the cost. He had written "whatever the cost" in capitals like this "WHATEVER THE COST" and made it bold, like this "WHATEVER THE COST" and repeated it several times in a 3 paragraph e-mail.

I think it's very easy being a manager, you just tell everyone above you that everything's fine and then do nothing except make sure you never actually meet or talk with anyone in your team, send them pointless demotivational e-mails and pray that everything turns out OK. It sounds quite easy and I'm sure nothing could ever go wrong.

Anyway I'm quite sure the system will work perfectly just so long as there are no users, I think I now have the go ahead to do something about that. Whatever the cost.

no worries, 8 at the Girl

no worries, 8 at the Girl tomorrow then and no need to bring a phone
Joe, why not have your tea at the Girl, splash out with all that cash your earning
I have still got loads of stuff at yours, what do you reckon is best about picking it up, or have you sold it on?

Drinks

To be honest there's a good chance by the time I get back tonight I won't want to go in tomorrow so I'll probably do Sun & Monday instead, in which case you can pick up your stuff on Friday - unless you're going on the train or something?

yeah i am driving so i can

yeah i am driving so i can pick the stuff up, if you want i can drive you to and from the pub if you fancy a couple? i won't be out too late

cool

i haven't bothered with work today, I decided not to set my alarm clock and see if I woke up in time or not. I woke up at 11:30 so that was an easy decision !

You can pick me up on the way, that would be great and a lift home is tempting as well. Just text to let me know what time you're arriving so I can get home in time.

cool, meeting Rich at 8 so

cool, meeting Rich at 8 so how about 5 to eight?

back now

Sounds good.

So... what time are we all

So... what time are we all meeting up and where????

Ah do believe

That first of all around 5 or 6 Shipway will be feeding at the Country Girl. From there once everyone has arrived and when it is time then we make our way to the comedy.

kicked out a text two weeks

kicked out a text two weeks back given it was unclear whether everyone was picking up this string. Country Girl at 7pm, the Comedy club starts at 10pm, doors open between 9:15 - 9:45, so get to town as we feel fit. Grant is getting to Joe's earlier, so heading to the Girl for food BEFORE 7pm, Paul and Rich C might also be going for food (willtext both when I meet up with Grant to confirm) let me know (text) if you fancy it

Ste, apparently your

Ste, apparently your 'network is out of order' ... i thought that was a bit harsh

Rich C

Heard it wasn't the best night, i have texted but i am guessing that is actually a little bit pointess, hope your fine

Good Night

No it was a good night, I got to have a ride in Police car.

;)

I was sat on the flower bed thing feeling a little worse for wear waiting for Grant and Joe to come out of Snobs when some lad sat next to me and starting saying something, then the next thing I've been pushed over and someone is shouting stop fucking struggling you'll only make it worse for yourself and there's about four people around me rifling through my pockets and another couple standing around them.

They took my wallet, keys and phone and ran off. They didn't get any money and the cards are useless to them

In a bit of pissed daze I found Joe and told him what happened who phoned the Police. I wouldn't have bothered if it hadn't been that my phone has direct access to the force control room.

The Police turned up and drove me around to see if I could see the perpertrators but to be honest I wouldn't have recognised them anyway it all happened so quick and I was so sozzled.

I then went to Steelhouse Lane and made a statement. Didn't get home until about seven this morning at which point I realised that they had my keys so I had to walk up to me Mom and Dad's to get my spare set, which was a right arse.

It was a good night, just an annoying (but not uninteresting) ending. Easy target I was.

Flower Beds

I was sat on the flower beds at various points when I was getting pissed off with Grant not wanting to go home and just repeatedly repeating "Drink, Drink, Drink" and gesticulating at the bar and some ginger lad asked to borrow my phone. I doubt it was the same person, he didn't seem like a criminal but you never know.

I didn't realise it was right outside snobs, there must be dozens of CCTVs trained on that area.

Grant resurfaced this afternoon and came round to get his stuff and have a cup of tea, he looked a mess. Apparently he'd been turned away from every hotel on Broad Street and ended up in The Mal Masion at the mailbox around 5AM who charged him £140 for a room which they then kicked him out at midday. He still couldn't explain why he was so determined to go to a hotel rather than coming back and staying at my house for free or why he didn't just give up and come round having been refused at the first dozen hotels. I don't think my coffee can possibly be all that bad. Now he has to try and explain to Donna Too why he spent £140 on a hotel room when he already had somewhere to stay for free and how that didn't involve any other women, hookers, or anything too suspect. Good luck with that !

well, i am pleased that Rich

well, i am pleased that Rich C sounds okay after that, as for Grant, yeah, good luck

Yep

Let us know how you got on.

I think, considering the safe course that was laid out last night it's quite impressive that the Stag appears to have landed himself in so much trouble. It just goes to show that sometimes perhaps stripping people naked and tying them to lamp posts is actually the kindest option.

but we are not doing it

but we are not doing it again, ever

Has.

Has anyone organized the strippers yet?

I haven't......

but I will get my kit off for a tenner?

i will pay you £20 to keep

i will pay you £20 to keep it on ;)

Who can make which date

10th April or 27th March are you available for either?
Paul I know you can't make 10th but is the 27th good for you??

silly boy......

paul has stupidly (me thinks ) agreed to work on the sunday after this!!!! oh dear oh dear oh dear

WTF

Does that mean he'll piss off home about half-ten like seems to be the norm nowadays?

:(

i hope he won't have to

i hope he won't have to operate any machinary!

stag

paul should be able to make 27th march no problem chris

pricing

struggling to fing the clay pigeon shooting cheaper, best one is £37.50 over at the Warwick shooting centre, but this is for 20 shots, also the origninal one is 10% off in we do it in the March dates, therefore £38.25

Off road carting has the same 10% if done in the March date, therefore 38.25 again
the other places i have looked appear to be more expensive

Jongleurs, which is now highlights, now comes in at £18pp (1.50 deposit when booking)
This includes the food, the table dressing, and a stella

The above will most likely be run in that order, so join/leave at the activities that best suit you

So maximum price for the whole day should be 94.50 for March or 103 for April, which would be shooting, driving, eating, a drink, laughing and then a nite-club

I am open to suggestions, Grant does not want Paintballing, i know that activity does work out cheaper, e.g. a whole day including lunch and 500 shoots for £35 ... actually that is damn good value ...

either.....

either one is good for me

27th March

Hi, Grant has gone for the 27th of March, i have kicked out texts to everyone i think, sorry if i have f@cked that up and missed you out, if you could let me know which events you fancy, thanks, Chris

Me

Can you put me down for the evening comedy shing dig? cheers!

Stephen

Yep.

Me too. Just the comedy thingy on the night please.

Activities.

Chris do you know what order you are doing stuff in? Not sure if I'll be able to afford both shooting and karting but I quite like to do at least one of them.

We going to Snobs after the comedy has finished? ;)

Yes please.

The night club it turned into after the comedy last time was awful!

Anywhere else would be a step up!

Bar Twat

Yep utter shite and full of brainless idiots looking for fights.

Paul did his trick of being completely oblivious to the fact that he was going to get a kicking by walking into the middle of two large groups of Asian lads squaring up to each other. He tried to hug one of them and made a noise that went something like:

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeyeeeeeeeeeeyeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeyeeeeeeeeeeeeyeeeeeeeeeeee"

I dragged him off.

We should go to the A & B.

The craziest thing......

The craziest thing paul did at Grants previous Stag doo was invite jenny clarkson (Grants ex). She didn't turn up though.

Thanks Col and Ste the order

Thanks Col and Ste

the order of the events will be
Clay Pigeon Shooting
Off-Road Carting
Comedy Club

basically, if you get dirty carting, you will be able to get changed before the comedy club, but wouldn't if we then went on to the clay pigeon shooting

I must admit to not remembering too much about the nightclub part, (i do remember that Paul bit to some extend), is this something i need to get changed?? just assumed it would be easier to get a group of lads in where they already were ....

The Comedy

Don't get us wrong - the place is great whilst the comedy is on it's just it turns into a we've got six knuckles and nine toes and know how to use them type place once that's finished. You know just like everywhere in Sutton. ;)

Tossers.

To be honest I just could not wait to get out of the place once it turned into a nightclub. It was full of tossers looking to pull or fight or both.

Too old for all that shit now.

i must admit i am used to

i must admit i am used to it, living in Sutton ;)

no, its fair comment ... if the place is useless after the comedy maybe we should set up somewhere else to go ... or is it a case of see what happens after the comedy, if its good, stay, if not, then head someone else (where would you suggest)

Titty Bar

Legs 11. ;)

i actually know where that

i actually know where that is now after trying to find a parking spot for a training session at the Jury's Inn

Don't You Mean?

"Training Session"

Mar 27th

Just to let you know that Grants Stag do is just the evening event now, the daytime activities of Clay Pigeon Shooting and Off Road Karting have been dropped to ensure there is enough money to spend on drink in the evening.
