And my response



Whilst not wanting to make the point that this is a stag do in the hands of my best men and not a bunch of suits sat around an expensive table with commissioned art and a funny shaped phone....

The reason we were looking to book a hostel was to keep costs down for those of us with lower incomes/high overheads due to excess of children.

Now looking up the list I can see none of us fall into the unskilled labourer bracket but there are a number with excess children (and also recent change of address and job).

I am happy to leave this to my best men after a straw poll, but we should be in the hands of the most needy stagger. This is, after all, a communist stag.

Please let PeeWee and Boris know your feelings.

Big Owl has come around to the idea of slumming it if needed and I am sure is most apologetic to those of us who are still extremely attractive to the opposite sex (Eggman, Ratty, Stix, Toblerone).

Also can you suggest nickames for people. Nothing too harsh.

We are thinking Cologne. Never even heard of Bochum.

Love you all

Big Owl's reply to my hostel suggestion

I feel I should join in with my two cents.  Whilst Spunky Trunks may not wish to grow up just yet (although he is at least taking his first steps and getting married, finally),  I'm over 40 and am far too spoilt to slum it in a hostel with a group of old dudes.  The last time I did it was when I shared a room at a guest house in Oxford with Manabouttown on Peewee's stag do, which was something like 25 years ago, and I hoped never to repeat the experience.  Besides, even if the hostel were stuffed to the gunnels with 19 year old female dutchies, we're all now too old/fat/hairy/bald/married to interest them.
If it is to be somewhere like Köln (please not Düsseldorf and deffo not somewhere like Bochum, 'tis a shithole), there are plenty of good 4 star hotels available that weekend in the city at reasonable prices:


I love you guys,
Big Owl
