Cool, cheers Jon.

btw - might be able to nick a projector from work. Is just a vga one - nothing too special (ie not HD). Let me know if you think you want it.

JP - you going to have enough space in your car for all of us + bags +
extra bits?

Dan

Yeah, should be fine. As long as you don't bring a ridiculous amount. My boot is a pretty good size.

Right, sorry I've been on holiday for a few days but am now back in full WeenStag preparation mode.

Pedro - can you have a think about a place to eat on both nights? Will have to be earlyish on Saturday as we have got comedy show at 8. Am assuming one will be a curry.

Has anyone spoken to Drew lately? Is he even in the right country?? Help me please!

I'll try and give some or all of you a bell in the week to make sure you all know what the ploy is.

I also caught up with Mango over Easter! He is well up for it.

Scrolling back through most of this a lot of chat seems to be about TVs, which I am going to ignore as I feel I can offer little on that front.

Ween - is there any football on TV on the Sunday? Am thinking some Sunday afternoon chillaxing with the papers in front of some football might be a good ploy (well, for you and me anyway, the rest can please themselves)

Check in is 2pm on Saturday, check out is 11am on Monday. Bosh

I'll post some details over the next couple of days in response to various questions.

Promises to be a good one fellas!

re droo,

I'm hoping to hear from him in the next few days, he's up for it, and i think he'll be coming up with the southern contingent

re footy,

its looking like liverpool vs newcastle on sunday 13:30 then sunderland vs everton

im kinda glad that the man utd spurs game (or farce) was on this weekend, not the weekend we'd be in manchester

Just wanted to say: enjoy it Ween (and everyone else but you're kinda less important) - gutted I can't be there, but will raise a toast to you in Ottowa on Saturday, and on the plane of Sunday - I never had such a good excuse to get drunk on a plane.

In case we find our selves at a loss near pizza express:

2 for 1 on main courses.

Bring the projecter Dan - it'll spare Warren having to bring his telly.

This is the projector:

Could someone who knows, confirm that it is good enough to be used and worth bringing?

Just spoke to Drew on messenger and he is around and still on for it.

Craig David all over your *boink*

yeh should be fine for what we'll be using it for... its no worse than my one anyway

are we going for a 3-way setup then?

10 people (+any of pedros homeboys)

should result in some good 5 on 5 action. or some 3team shizzle.

I need to excavate my 360 out of the hell that is my living room and get some training in.

Re: parking

"We are delighted to confirm that the Atrium Apartments by Bridgestreet
Worldwide do have on-site car parking, which is available at a rate of
GBP 14.00 per car per 24 hours."

Not sure what their definition of 'on-site' is though...

Kitty system for food and booze?

Ha ha, awesome, we can have a sweepstake on who was lied to the most

Edit: yes, happy to drop cash in a kitty if people want that.

I imagine that I would be delighted too if I was getting away with charging people £14 a day for parking.

alright fools,

i just got a message from sampie to check for details of migrating up to the north for the shanangans.

jonnyboy, ayesha's flat is on london road st. albans way, where i'll be. i'll could chip over to hatfield from there, or you can swing by st. albans, whichever is easier. what is the timings of leaving etc?

peas

i managed to pick up "NFL Blitz- The league" for 360 at cash converters. £4

even if its a stinker it'll be worth a bash

king, give me a call when you're free

roger that. will duly steal said hardware.

Ah yes, leg breaker tackles here we come.

I'll nip down to Woz's on Friday night ready for an epic journey next day.

Bring on the stag!

Is it just me, or is this weekend going to be the nucking futs? I am proper excited now.

I have made a dinner reservation for 17:30 on Saturday at Grado.

17:30 should give us plenty of time before we need to leave for the Comedy Store.

Fucking bring it on. Even looking forward to the 4 hour road trip!
Heading up to get the projector now.

a ) tapas = pure win
b ) 2 360 controllers, 1 360, 2 wiimotes, 2 nunchuks, 1 classic controller, sf4, cod4, halo3, team fortress 2, gears 1 and 2
c ) bring it on!!

Could you gents on COD4 please send me your ids so we can kill each other online.

Im FeastOfLupercal

Do it!

Govi*

Just a note to say thanks to everyone... I had an ace time, and it was so good to see everyone again.

Special thanks to Sammystar and Pedroth...
Some textbook organizational skillz on show - there was certainly some 'meat based' awesomeness as well as juicy halo goodness...

see you all again at the wedding!

peace out, yo

An awesome stag based weekend gents. Thanks to Sam and Pete for organising and to Ween for continuously pistol whipping me in Halo.

Let the meat long continue!!!

Aye - thanks guys for organising and for everyone else for turning up =)
Plenty of room for Halo improvement for me (Maff being my next target to beat!) but more importantly SF4 was a revelation.

I think I might just have to buy my girlfriend (360 owner) a surprise 'present'....

YES!!! A new challenger has entered the ring!

Yes, my thanks also to those who had a hand in organising the weekend. It was the monkey's nuts.

We should do some sort of gathering like this with xbox madness every year I reckon, regardless of whether anyone is getting married. Anyone else agree?

See you all in a few weeks for the wedding of the year.

Yes thanks for a great weekend. Twas rather fun.

A yearly Xbox fest would be great. Perhaps bi-yearly?

Oh as many xbox fests as possible would be great. But what I meant was a weekend each year where just the lads go away (like this weekend in Manchester and Tart's stag do on the barge last year).

Essentially what I'm suggesting is that we have a stag weekend every year even if there isn't a wedding to attach it to.

If we plan it well, we could still achieve the next 8 years or so of bona fide stag do's...Volunteers for next year anyone? ;o)

Also - JP thanks for the ride. Much appreciated and Samstar - money on the way to you for the food.

p.s. i seem to have acquired a pair of gold oakleys - looks like Jackets of some kind.

Any claimers?

they could be king's he said he'd lost his oakleys...

but yes, im happy hosting/planning/participating in our bi-annual gathering

although as dannyboy says, im fully expecting someone else to get engaged in the next 6months or so, in which case the bi-annual stag-do is a obvious possibility.

DANNYBOY YOU SLAG! Sorry caps lock problem.

Danny; if you wanted another item of Badgerfest clothing to 'look after' you should have just asked.

Yes those are mine - thank-you for stealing them; I thought I'd dropped them somewhere and they were gone for good.

Bring them to the wedding?

Please?

I'm ron burgundy?

No idea how they got into my bag. They do fit me rather well...I'll do my 'best' to remember to bring them with me...

Thanks Dan you're a star.




Please is for girls. Fans of Oliver say please: Away with your Andrew Lloyd-Webber loving utterances of polite enquiry, I'll have none of it at my table or that of this noble forum. Enough of this nonsense! Bring me the finest bagels and muffins in the land so I might feast in celebration of the Regal Ocular Protectorate.

Ahem.

Yes, point taken.

To reiterate: Please will you very kindly bring the sunglasses to the wedding Dan? Thank-you kindly.
