1st Stag Party / The Raveonettes

[dotinthesky]

What I remember from yesterday's Stag Party:

- Played the Penny Master game; penny was shiny by the end of the night. Was a big girl's blouse and couldn't drink half of my pint when the penny was dropped in it.
- Had The Rattler down on his knee, proposing something or other to me; Aden was jealous.
- The Husband to Be ran up to the pub band and asked for some Lenny Kravitz. When they declined, he uttered some obscenities. He also stole the bathroom cleaning rota, made us sign it, then put it back in its place. And he headbanged to U2 (I think).
- Many a pints were downed, then followed by hasty runs to the gents.
- Secrets were revealed during other drinking games:

a) 73% of the men around the table had snogged Suzi at least once.
b) A Baron in attendance was the only person who'd ever slept with two women at the same time.
c) Someone or other snogged their sister once.
d) Nadia was the only celebrity I could remember whose name started with N.

- I also won a game of Shitface without even knowing the rules of the game or what I was doing! Game indeed.

After hugging drunk goths, I made my way to the King George pub. Met up with Kevin, his sisters, Silke, and some of Silke's friends to go see The Raveonettes at Frog. Silke had managed to put us on the guest list so we only paid 3 pounds to get in. The place was crowded with 20 year olds smoking their first cigarettes. After failing to get some Redbull at the bar, went downstage; a few minutes later The Raveonettes came on stage. They played a fast and rocking 30 minute set. Lots of surprising stage invasions and crowd surfing later, they said their thank yous and goodbyes. Short but sweet. We said our goodbyes too and headed home. End of.

Cheers for coming to the stag do. It was great to see you. Hope you didn't end up too plastered (God knows I did).

Until I read the above, I'd completely forgotten about us signing not just the toilet rota but the Pub Toilet Of The Year Award certificate too! We all put our names on it... I wish someone had taken a photo, in hindsight...

I think it was Shithead not Shitface, the game, btw...

steve took a photo of the certificate :)

Ah yes, I think I only signed the Pub Toilet Award! Now I feel sad for not signing the rota (or did I sign it and I'm forgetting?)

Were the girls as plastered as us?

We started drinking at 4pm, so take a guess!!

I think I just wrote "ROUGH!" on the cleaning rota under the "toilet paper" section and then the bloke came to inspect it so Steve hid it and put it back when he wasn't looking, but it's all a bit blurry.

In answer to your other question, I don't think anyone in London was as collectively plastered as us. ;) The girls certainly weren't, no.

It wasn't the pub toilet award, it was the award for Best Food and Beer Experience 2004. No idea why it was up in the toilet, mind.

That is a lie about me having snogged 73% of the men at the stag party. I make it 37.5%.

It was hard to tell what were lies and what were truths after 8 pm. :)

I heard she was a slag, but 73% is nothing! Must try harder, IMO.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

73% of goths are slags.

i am jealous!
Seeing the raveonettes!
And sounds like you had a fun time at the pub!

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

It was good fun. Also, The Raveonettes are on tour so expect them in Toronto very soon!

What's the Penny Master game?

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Someone is the Penny Master and holds a penny. If they manage to drop their penny into your pint during the night, you have to drink your entire pint. Then you become the Penny Master (but you must wait 15 minutes before attempting to pass on the penny.)

If someone blocks their pint successfully when you try to drop the penny, you then drink their pint and pay for their refill.

Now that sounds like a decent Stag Night!

Nothing like the sort of event which I arranged for somebody a few years ago, which involved a few quiet games of pool (letting the groom win on every occasion), and somebody falling in a ditch outside the pub.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

I looked in our pub for a pool table because I thought that would be fun too. We ended up playing drinking games for the hell of it and it was good fun in the end.

Damn !! Missed The Raveonettes and Graham Coxon too - stupid terrorists making REM re-schedule to the Saturday when lots of cool people play in lots of cool places- oh well- the gig was good :)

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

It was only a short gig anyways... I think their proper gig is still coming up. Glad you had fun at REM! ;)
