Stag Weekend

Last weekend I went to my first ever stag weekend and discovered that the stag weekend was not really about the stag, but the people that went with him. Ok, maybe this weekend is probably not one of the tamer stag weekends but having said that, it would be similar to a typical night out in Ireland except that it was drawn out over 3 days with no holds barred. I had never experience something like this before and consequently the weekend was spent watching a group of 17 men, actually boys, decidedly behaving badly, indulging in unrefrained excesses and acts of dumbing down ones conscience (applied for those that had any at the first place) I was, through it all, rather intrigue of the motivation and pack mentality of the group.

To summarise, weekend activities included:
Lots of drinks
Trip to strip club
Casino
More drinks
Pulling any bird at any oppurtunity. (There's no quality control here)
Clay pigeon shooting
Random bird snogging contest
and then More drinks

Oh how the drinks seemed to help pass the time and bring out the fools in all of us and sometimes I wonder if this lot could manage a good time without any of that. Don't get me wrong, these are a bunch of nice guys, some of them just a little too nuts for me! Some of them wanted to go on my stag and it got me worried for a minute.

Clay pigeon shooting is fun though! I am gonna look into buying me a gun and join a local clay pigeon shooting club.

All in all an interesting weekend, but I felt it might have dragged on a little. Would have appreciated more activities rather than just hanging around the pub playing pool. Good break from normality nevertheless!
