anything that involves going on a crawl just means you spend more time walking and less time having a good night, plus the group will no doubt become disjointed, and you waste loads of time getting in/served/drinking up etc. anything with instructions is lame, anything too contrived is even lamer.


Pick a good busy place that you can stay in for a while to get hammered and have a laugh, then a good club where you have sorted out entry previously and where it goes a bit wrong in a good way, then those interested go on to wherever.

Sorry guys. I know me and the Lush have had our differences but this time I have to agree with his wisdom. Drinking games are foolish and what American frat groups get up to whilst shrieking "Moose, Moose" at the top of their nasal voices. Thoroughly un-British.


Drinking games often ruin a well planned night out because someone usually drinks too much Asda Vodka and ends up needing an ambulance.


I learnt my lesson when staying in building/demolition contractor digs and we'd while away a rainy saturday afternoon up north by playing 'ring of fire' and smoking skunk through a Vodka bong. Not nice.

Thank you Mr Wolf. Idiots who think they can drink a bottle of vodka/whiskey or whatever in under an hour in some stupid life threatening drinking game deserves what they get, either their stomaches pumped out or death. Drinking games are for arseholes.


Drink sensibly not until you're senseless.

My bro had a great stag do but then we are all real ale fans. We did a brewery tour at the Badger Brewery in Dorset then did a pub crawl around different pubs around dorcester selling particular real ales. Used the Real Ale guide and hired a 7 seater taxi for the evening. Ended up at the last pub playing darts. We went for the top beers and had a great but not too drunk evening.


The same format could be used in london as there are several breweries still and many many pubs selling any number of real ales.


Of course it will not work if you don't like real ale

Un-British?! How dare you, sir. I take issue, as does every University rugby player in Britain, past and present...


...the walking:drinking ratio point is a good one, though.

Oh arse.

I was going to suggest the Withnail & I drinking game. I even got a case of lighter fluid in, special like.

But now I see that Jah 'Adam's Ale' Lush and BigSensibleWolf have put the bok on it.

Any suggestions as to what I might do with 24 cans of lighter fluid will be gratefully received.

Unchastened, I too was going to suggest the Withnail game, though I have always understood it to be more of a "consuming" game, rather than just a drinking game. Does take a bit of organising, but more fun I think. (Don't forget the tea and cake ordered from Miss Blennerhassett, and Green & Blue would be only to happy to source you the finest wines available to humanity).


HB - there are many uses for lighter fluid: removing rust, getting gum out of hair, removing crayon marks, taking out cooking oil stains from clothes....the list is endless. Such ignorance can only mean you have forgotten to renew your subscription to Readers Digest, the bible of such handy hints. Let that be a lesson to you.

My boyfriend was on a Stag Do in London last night and they went Urban Golfing:

as an alternative from pub crawls and drinking games, but I think that's what's on the agenda today though...

    • It's Christmas, Mal, I'd like to think admin may be a bit looser at this time of year. Goodwill to all men and all that, even Scousers, the French and some Canadians. Have an easy-peeler, a Morrisons own brand Cinzano and lemonade, a toke on this beauty, listen to my post-dubstep-style mash-up of 'Little Donkey' and Frankie Knuckles' 'Your Love' and let the thread go where it will. We're strangely reverential about the Christmas period in this country. Christmas Day in Spain is a bit different, the big day is 'Kings' Day' on the 6th of January.  I've spent a couple of Christmases in a tiny village in the Sierra Nevada outside Granada with an (English) ex-girlfriend's family and it's exhausting to celebrate both British and Spanish style. You start on Christmas Eve, then Christmas Day, Boxing Day, a village fiesta apropos of nothing to do with Christmas, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, the neighbouring village's fiesta, and only then the big day of Kings' on the 6th. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone that's posted on the 'Fireworks' thread, I thought is was a reenactmentent of Guernica. Thankfully, Coviran - it's a bit like Spar used to be - do an excellent 'Feliz Navidad' fiesta package of six bottles of local red, six white, 24 bottles of Alhambra beer and an okay-quality Serrano jamon (with stand and knife) for about the price of a decent round in the EDT. One fiesta deal every couple of days works well. Christmas Day in Toronto is like any other day, just  even duller - Sunday-service transport and the  LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario) shop is shut. Those who take their drinking seriously need to plan ahead. They also have a strange custom of going to the pictures on Christmas Day evening, rather than watching 'Oliver!' and trying to fleece your niece for her Christmas cash in a game of Connect Four. It's a bit different in Goa, but brilliant. It was a Portuguese colony, so they go mad on it. It's quite magical. I spent one Christmas Day where, after seeing the previous night's hangover off with a prawn caldine and a bottle of local coconut feni, the tide ebbed away to reveal the most perfect, flat wicket for a game of tape-ball cricket. 25 or so a side, ravers versus locals, I batted in the middle order and was building a solid, if unspectacular, innings until I hit a pull shot of such exquisite timing it still visits me in my dreams, only to be caught at square leg by a little, local lad, bollocks-deep in the surf and wearing a Santa hat. Christmas isn't what it used to be. Keep the parks open!
    • I hope it's ok to use this thread to ask for advice on a separate issue in relation to TJ Medical Practice. A friend of mine who is registered there has recently been diagnosed with a serious long-term condition. He has been struggling to find a good GP at the practice since the departure of Dr Love and I said I would try to find out which of the remaining GPs other patients have found most capable and sympathetic - particularly for the scenario of overseeing ongoing care for a long-term progressive illness. Is there any particular GP that people would recommend?  Very many thanks.
    • I,m not a fan of Gales; but a lot of food serving premises open on Xmas day , so not unusual, worked in catering for nearly 40 years and staff usually get extra pay… My niece who is in her last year of college & wants to go travelling next summer, is waitressing in a restaurant near where she lives on Xmas day & Boxing Day for £20 per hour to boost her travelling fund. Back in the day I worked New Year’s Day 2000, & had my pay bumped to £50 per hour, happy days (wasn’t forced I volunteered)
    • Hardly strange; arcane perhaps. It used to be a common practice in many towns for the swings, roundabouts etc in parks to be chained up by the council on Sundays, so that they didn’t provide a source of reckless pleasure on the sabbath. The outrage that a cake shop should open on Christmas Day reminded me of this. The policy had pretty much died out in England and Wales by the 70’s but is still in force in parts of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
