    I tell you what guys, I've never been so tired. I've just got home from a 3 day stag-do. There was about 30 of us. I've never laughed so much, and never drank so much beer. My bladder and liver actually hurt! My body aches. I just want to sleep, but nicking a kip now will ruin my body clock, so I'm keeping myself awake till tonight!

    I tell you what, I had a wicked time though. I've got some right stories from that stag weekend. It was solid drinking from Friday morning to this morning. Never had a chance to get hungover or anything as we just nicked a few hours shut-eye then started drinking again. Loads of us there were, all young lads. We blew the roof off wherever we went, proper. Right good time!

    Do not do that under any circumstances, or you could end up hospitalized.

    Unless, of course, "nicking a kip" doesn't mean what I think it means.

    :p

    Translation: I was in a large gang of hooligans.

    Translation: we made a large mess and a lot of trouble, generally irritating everyone who wasn't part of the group. :p

    Dare I ask what you think it means?

    Having been to a British stag-do, I have to say Decados's translation is pretty accurate. Of course you had a good laugh, but I'm pretty sure that the owners of the places you wrecked on your way are not very happy ;) After all, I'm sure there's a reason an increasingly large number of pubs now have big signs saying "no stag or hen nights" next to their front door!

    DON'T! It's Splunge we're talking about, so if he does say it then Tal will probably need a "Parental guidance" warning on the main page of the BoM

    :p

    We were perfectly well behaved! From what I can remember anyway....

    I bet the pubs owners were VERY happy to have the custom of 30 guys, at £3.50 a pint!

    I'm surprised that you remember anything. :p

    Did you eat during these three days of madness, err... stag-do, or did you plan to live on beer until the wedding cake is served?

    I'm glad you had fun though... I guess.

    Memory can play nasty tricks on you when you had one too many. :beer:

    Edit @Loreseeker: that's great timing, I'm impressed!

    No. Over here, we call that "bestiality", which is generally frowned upon. Especially since stags are males. But when in Britain, do as the...

    Well, maybe not.

    :p

    Best that you don't. :p

    I don't know what to say in this thread until someone translates these 4 things for me:
    No offense BA, but you're British gibberish eludes my understanding. :p :rolling:

    Kitrax, as requested:
    I think Splunge may have this one covered. Although he did forget to mention that the groom-to-be in normally involved too.

    Stealing a nap. As I assume BA is not advocating actual theft, I can only assume it means having a short sleep and not 'aquiring a kipper illegally'. I could be mistaken.

    Again, I can only hope that BA was not encouraging the BoM members to plant bombs in local pubs. Perhaps he was referring to extreme flatulence?

    I'm not sure that it's even possible to have a 'wrong good time'.

    BA sometimes even eludes the understanding of us Brits as well. Well, those of us who aren't neds anyway. ;)

    Eeeh, get off your superior high horse, the pair of you. I'm sure it makes you feel much better than me to knock what I say, but neither is it hard to actually work it out. I type as I think and talk.

    A '3 day stag do' is surely obvious... however, I don't live my own little bubble and know that across the water this is probably known as a 'batchelor party'. If I have to explain what one of those is, then I give up.

    'Nicking a kip'.. stealing some sleep!! What's hard to understand? We didn't have time to get some proper sleep, so we stole a few hours when we could. Comprende?

    'Blew the roof off'... had a good time, loads of laughs.. blew the roof of the place. It;s quite a common saying, really.

    A right good time... a good time! Not hard is it! I'm sure you say the same. "Did you go out last night mate?", "Yea, round town, had a right good time".

    I'm developing a BA Dictionary*, but until then it's probably better to use your brain.

    * Not really true, so just try harder.

    No offence, but the 'knocking the Northern English guy for his accent' routine is getting a bit boring now, fellas. I reality I could make it a lot harder to understand, and if you met me in person you'd be completely fooked! It's just the way people talk where I come from. The SP version is 'toned down' a wee bit!

    My thoughts exactly. What in the world comes in pints and is 3.50£ apiece?

    Splungemilk?

    It's the price of pints in city centres these days. You can find cheaper in little pubs on the outskirts, but city centre prices are £3.50 pretty much wherever I go in England nowadays. You should know, we get ripped off down here bro :(.

    Spent £200 purely on beer over the weekend!

    Hot d**n! I think even we get cheaper pints (or rather half litres;)) in central Copenhagen! Even if you drink something decent (like stout) instead of Carlsberg or Tuborg.

    Actually that's pretty much the same price we have in here.

    I just got the heebie-jeebies because a pound used to be 9.something finnish marks.

    A pint in Helsinki center, from 3.50€ if you're lucky and around and over 5€ in most places.

    That's just your regular piss, mind you nothing fancy. Fancypantsbeer costs around 6-8€, depending on what exactly you're drinking...

    Oh, I have to say responses like Splunge's or Decados' did not bore me in the slightest. I'm actually sorry you responded the way you did because I generally enjoy your reactions to the ribbing; I'll just chalk it up to you not feeling so hot after your 3-day binge. :)

    In Lyons (France) a pint costs between 4 and 6 euros (generally, 4 is for cheap stuff before 9 PM, 5.50 is an average for good beer like Hoegaarden or Guinness).

    That's a lot of money. Still, when I lived in Scotland I would spend as much as £50 on average.
