The Attendees (- Me) |
|
It was a long wait for Mike to cash a cheque |
After walking two miles from the hotel to the pleasure beach, a drink was at the forefront..!! |
..... and gratefully received ! |
Ali has yet to get first place on this game (I can't even get 4th !!) |
Nick practices for the wedding night ! |
One for the ladies ! |
'Final Furlong' is one of the most exhausting games to play - especially when there is serious drinking to be done later ! |
Nick's head was too big to fit through the hole ! <g> |
After surviving the 'Big One' and the 'Avalanche', it's time to try the 'Playstation' ! |
Mike momentarily comes off his skateboard |
The 'Playstation', about 40m high ! |
...it took half an hour to queue and what did we get ???..... |
.... scared out of our wits ! |
Having survived rollercoasters and other white-knuckle stuff, this was a surprise ! |
This photo's a bit blurred - I couldn't stop shaking ! |
'Guinness' - the resident dog at the Haywood Hotel |
The night begins !!... |
The first venue |
Mike and Andy, trying to blag beer-money from the fruit machine |
"Hoy, you ba**ards, get me another beer !!" |
It's only 8 o'clock - nuff said ! |
O'Neills bar - Nick pulls within 10 seconds of walking through the door ! |
"I'm not smoking - honestly !!!" |
A rose-seller. They get everywhere don't they ? |
The excitement mounts about something..... |
JENGA !!!!!!! |
Nick tries to beat Karen at Connect-4 |
Justin surveys the JENGA scene |
Andy has a go - not easy with a beer-brain ! |
Ali's turn ! |
Easy Nick.... EASY !!..... |
Nick buys the next round ! |
The Bouncers cleared off pretty quickly when I pulled out the camera for this shot ! |
Amidst Rollercoasters and Jenga, I think Nick had a good send-off from the whaaayyyyy days of batchelorhood into the clutches of Marriage. Having survived the 'Big One', Nick then bottled the 'Playstation', but made up for it by drinking loads and providing entertainment to all around. Cheers Nick and Andy (the best man) for the invite. Ali would also like to say cheers for letting the girlies intrude on this most sacrosanct of male tradition - THE STAG BASH !!!! |
Nick is too drunk to care about the camera ! |
....But in the next bar, we encounter a hen-night ! |
Mary reminds Anne how many drinks she's had in this bar ! |
'Wot !!.... no Bottle ??!!' |
Ed, Mary, Nick and Gaz with Karen doing 'goodness knows what!' with Justin ! |
Nick climbs the ladder to speak to the DJ |
Mary dances 'The Funky Chicken' !! |

Ali watches Nick while Justin helps himself to Mary's drink ! |
