In a world first a group of lads from Rochdale have posed the question, “why can’t we just do something civilised and get a good night’s sleep” when asked what they should do for Dave Illingworth’s stag do.
The miracle happened on a group Whatsapp chat started by best man Paul Duckworth when he suggested that the thirty five men he had never met before spend two grand a head on a trip to Lithuania to jump out of Soviet era helicopters to shoot cows with bazookas.
“We just didn’t see it coming.” Said Marc Carn a thirty seven year old water cooler salesman from Plymouth “On my stag do I was dropped without any money about 35 miles from Barcelona airport pissed out of my face and ended up having to walk to the British Consulate after I missed my flight. It was a bit of hassle really.”
“But I’ve met Dave twice so obviously I was up for going to Lithuania rather than paying my mortgage in November. Because…you know? Lads, lads, lads.”
“But then Graham who’s an accountant with three kids piped up and said that it all seemed a bit extravagant to spend seventy thousand quid on a trip to Lithuania and that he had a meeting on the Tuesday and didn’t fancy a hangover.”
“It was a bit of a domino effect. It’s unanimous and a relief to be honest. We’re all going to a Best Western near Coventry for a spa day now. Apparently they’ve got a sauna and then we’re going for a two for one deal at Pizza Express and maybe a few of us will go to the cinema for matinee.”
“I’m looking forward to it actually.”
