ian_m Posted September 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 ok, a bit of an update!! It seems that I am not the only one to have a bit of a gripe with this!! Others have voiced their concerns too and the trip has now been reduced to one week, the cost of the "holiday" is now 1k which is a lot more acceptable IMO, nothing has been booked yet but I would be a lot happier to go now as it is considerably cheaper and the venue has never be an issue! Progress has been made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randellp Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 That's progress, I suppose - add spending money (drinks, food, gambling, eating, hookers, clothes, bail etc etc) that's still one hell of a stag do. If one of the three I'm going on next year was like that I would have serious doubts about going. But then I suppose they don't call you the 6 Million Dollar Man for nothing, so it probably won't bother you too much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian_m Posted September 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 I have also made it clear that I shall be treating this as my holiday and that apart from the "big day" and a couple of others, I will be doing what I want to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you it was surreal to be sitting by the pool in our wedding gear whilst all our guests were in the pool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
