Yep, meeting Bletch for the first time is as enjoyable as whiplash or amputation.

Not really Steve. I just wanted some people to say āyouāre right, fuck the whole thing off and donāt feel bad about itā but so far I have had my status as a man questioned, been told to shut up and go, been told to take lots of drugs and been told to lie about being there when Iām not. Although I appreciate the great efforts people have gone to to help advise me, Iām not sure Iāve heard the correct answer yet.

Do what ya like Fats. He probably thinks youāre a dick anyway and only invited you because they needed someone to wear the āI want Kellyās babiesā t shirt for the Phonics gig.

Itās not about what you like.

So what. Itās not about what you like.

Youāll meet new people wherever you go.

You said yourself, the cost is ok(but only if you pick?).

See above.

Again, not about you.
Now go back to the highlighted bit. Itās a simple question of, how close a friend he is.
Your may even find you like the stereophonics(pm @thecholulakid about the necessary drugs).

Spend Ā£300 on a shit weekend that you hate?..
Difficult oneā¦NOT!
If heās your mate heāll understand but it might be worth coming up with a really good excuse - maybe break your own ankle or inject yourself with dog shit, just so you donāt look too miserable when you miss it.
But however you dodge it, paying Ā£300 for a shit time is a non-starter.

Why canāt people just go to the pub and have a meal with friends for the stag and hen do? Thankfully I know very few people who actually get married so donāt have to go through with being invited for a week in magaluf with a bunch of people i probably donāt know well. Or it could be that most people l know, know Iām not really into marriage and donāt invite me. Could be that. But after all that if itās a very good friend then I turn up and help them celebrate their day.
Anyway is a work/football mate on the list of really wanting to support them on their stag?

@fatso just tell the best man that youāll break his fucking legs if he doesnāt stop being a dick.
Has the groom actually said that this is what he wants to do for his stag do. Sounds to me like the best man is doing what he wants to do
Camping ? Is he too tight to stay in a hotel.
Feck 'em, thatās what I say.

When itās left to the āmaid of honourā and ābest manā surely they do what they think the bride groom wants (or maybe what they want is what really happens). This reminds me of the wedding fair episode in Gavin and Stacey where Matt Lucas organises stags he wants to do getting the bestman and stags to pay for a free holiday.
I see endless photos on social media of bloody hen dos where they have an āexperienceā i.e. be beyonce or a weekend somewhere expensive. Iāve been to 5 hens - all meals and pub/club. Iāve been on 2 stags (I know outrageous isnāt it as I am female). One was getting very drunk in a pub, the other was a pub crawl in Liverpool dressed as superheroes. Both were fun and not horrifically breaking the bank.
I know the happy couple will be spending a fortune on their wedding and the guests get a free meal and bar but attending the wedding is also pricey so adding on the week long stags/hens is getting a bit ridiculous (it also takes up precious annual leave - why do they think youād want to spend that time with them?!).

Unfortunately, the festival/camping thing is the grooms idea.
I think that during his speech or when reading out the good wishes cards, the best man (weāll call him Colin) should read your contributions on this thread.
ā¦Aunt Hilda wishes you all the best and is glad your gonorrhoea has cleared upā¦
ā¦ And Fatso has put a price tag on your friendship; Ā£300 as long as he gets to go overseasā¦
ā¦ Uncle Tony asks if Tanya (the bride) is post op, or is she just hairy due to hormones?
ā¦despite Terry and Tanyaās emotional first dance being Handbags and Gladrags, Fatso thinks itās SHITā¦and he also said he wished he didnāt have to chip in the any money to pay for your stag do.
Youāve got to love the fat fucker, havenāt youā¦
