Best?

I suppose I should deal with this at some point.

Dave has asked me to be his Best Man.

I'm *incredibly* touched by the invitation, especially because his natural choice for the role would obviously be Mike.

But having accepted the responsibility, I'm now faced with the challenge of organising a stag do for a man whose stated preference is for fine wine and food, rather than beer and whores.

What, oh what, is a rather out-of-his-depth queen to do??

I've already told you - Male strippers. ;^)

An extremely decadent and elegant stag sounds like a plan to me. Port, some very stinky/runny cheese and a cigar, sir?

That's very much what the current plan is shaping up like Nora. Based in a French chateau if possible.

(Possibly with the odd male stripper thrown in for good measure).

I'm currently organising one. Feel free to get in touch.

French chateau? Yes please! Sometimes I envy you Europeans.

Only sometimes?

I rather like Seattle and San Francisco. I'd put it at about 80/20 in favor of envy.

I just organised a stag do for a friend who wasn't that keen on the american pie style option.
We had a great time which included a rescue by the RNLI.
Stag parties generally take the form of:
travel down friday eve
activity saturday daytime
long saturday night on the sip
intervention by the emergency services is optional and cna happen at any stage

Ditto to Ruf's offer. If you need some info let me know.

Go for the beer and the whores.

I'm invited, right? ;-)
