Work is like being in the playground again.

 

They put a table football table on the top floor for like 200 employees to share. These 4 Spanish guys are there every. ****. day. They don't do any work.

 

We can only take 5 minute breaks at a time (every hour) so we have to take a break, risk that it's free. If not, break wasted. I get there today, the spanish guys nearly finished, we wait patiently. They finish - 'we're having another game as we haven't been able to get on today' 1) It was bullshit, I saw them on it twice already today. 2) There were 2 sets of people waiting (who had given up their break to wait)

 

It takes the piss. You're using something meant for 200 people. There were 2 sets of people waiting to go on. We get 5 minutes at a time. They can take breaks whenever they want because they're supervisors. It's like the older kids dictating the younger ones at school and it's **** pathetic.

Put a few laxatives in their drinks. Then you can have the table football table all to yourself.  :D

That's something that pisses me off that shouldn't actually. Being invited to a stag do, and it's in the UK.

on a similar sort of theme

couple of my mates are turning 50 , so lads weekends being arranged

my suggestions - Vegas , Moscow , Beirut

Group conseses / suggestions - Brussels , Hamburg , Copenhagen ... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

would only have been more dull had they suggested Amsterdam

of course it's their weekend and I'll go regardless but the lack of imingaination makes me a bit meh about the whole thing .. in years to come you want to look back at these landmark events and say "well that was a a bit different" ... my 40th and crossing the date line and thus turning 40 twice was that a little bit different and will always raise a smile when i think about it (turned 40 in a bar in Auckland , left the bar at 3am , did the harbour trip at 10:00 , took a flight at 15:00 to Apia and landed there the day before my birthday , so turned 40 again in a bar in downtown Apia .... actually took a day trip to American Samoa the next morning 9and still my birthday) so had a beer in 3 countires around 2000 miles distance on the same day :) )

and Samoa has moved back across the dateline so it can't be done anymore ...

Maybe everybody isnt as loaded as yourself?

Auckland, Harbour trip, flight to Apia, American Samoa...I believe Simon Cowell looked at doing similar for his 50th thought it was a bit pricey so decided to hire the Dorchester for a party instead.

I imagine just getting to Vegas, Beirut or Moscow costs a bloody fortune.

Or interested in wider travel perhaps?.

People have to take time off work, leave the family at home, be able to afford it etc...

These are things people don't take into account when organising stag do's and similar stuff abroad imo. Everyday life is different for everyone. You have to compromise a little if you want everyone to go.

If my mate organised a stag do to Vegas I wouldn't be able to go due to a host of factors. It'd like to. But what's more important? Where you are or who is with you?

Maybe you're part of a social experiment?

I'm sure he's got an alibi for the evening in question

Only because you're a fussy so and so!  :P

 

I generally prefer stag do's abroad as opposed to UK ones. On either I can't stand organised stag do's booked through a company specialising in them. Stuff of nightmares! 

 

I understand why people can't commit to going abroad. It can be financial, can't get time off work or have kids to look after. Also at least 2 of mates aren't allowed abroad due to being under the thumb. Can be a difficult thing to organise!

One for the quidco fans, casino.com doing £55 cash back for opening an account and depositing £20, I managed to withdraw £112 too boooom.

As usual with these places, be wary of the free credit/bets as they come with very high play through limits before you can withdraw anything.

Also, how does it work with regards to withdrawing? When I signed up, I had £20 free then deposited my own £20. My deposit was then matched giving me £60 in my account.

How do I know if the money I am betting with is from the bonus money or my actual money?

If it was my stag do and the best man organised it, and it ended up being in Beirut I'd give him a slap.

This. Who the hell has a stag do in Beirut.

Why? Beirut is stunning. I took my honeymoon there. Cheap, stunning women and gorgeous architecture.

Click on your account (cashier I think its called) and then there is a bonus tab, there it splits out your real money and your bonus and shows how much you need to play through before you can withdraw anything above your original deposit.

Because I too had accepted the bonus money the play through was something like £600 however I was playing the slots game with the footballers like Messi, Rooney and Ronaldo on it it came down quite quick and I was winning along the way. Peaked at about £200 up but had to spend to get through the play through limit.
