Things I learnt on my stag weekend

Allianz ArenaLast weekend I and fourteen friends descended upon the good city of Munich for a traditional stag/bachelor party, prior to my wedding. I would regale you with tales, but I’m not sure I’m capable of constructing a compelling narrative from fifteen men drinking monumental levels of drink. Suffice to say, I had a wonderful time.

So Far…So Average (World Cup Braindump #9)
