My boss would assume I'd booked a holiday for the first couple of days as I'm in a department of 1
So I'll go for three days. Maybe longer if I carked it at work. /unpaidovertimemonkey

Speaking of stag weekends, the one I'm going on at the end of May has changed from Nottingham to Reading. I've only ever looked at Reading on Google maps and it looks 'fucking shit' so I'm going to classify this one as a downgrade. Does anyone have anything positive to say about the town Reading?

some of it is alright, but not the places you'll go on a stag do.

The best man has booked some crappy pre-arranged package deal
It includes entry to a ropey looking 'gentlemens club' underneath some railway arches. I'm looking forward to looking around the Abbey more than the stag-do 'delights'. /oldfart

There are only seven of us so we probably could've avoided the whole stag-do package
..but I'm not the one organising it so I'm just going with the flow. If the best man turns up with 'comedy' t-shirts for us all I'll, er...make the best of it I guess. He'll get one hell of a disapproving look though.

It was the scene of Daphne and Celeste's triumphant UK live debut.
Their unique twist on the Weather Girls' classic chutney anthem 'It's Raining Piss' was a milestone in festival history.

can you explain to me why people had bottles of piss?
did they save them deliberately? i know toilet services are inadequate at festivals, but surely peeing in a bottle is silly?

You are less likely to get shot there than in Nottingham.
