Stag Don't

I was that close to phoning up a place yesterday to book myself on to a friend's stag weekend in September and pay the fifty pound deposit. Then I checked the date one last time and had a brief think. I realised that it was the same weekend as the Great North Run. I'm not sure that it would be clever to precede a half marathon with two nights of heavy drinking. No, definitely a bad idea. So I didn't phone and I won't be going :-(

Moral: Don't do half marathons - they really mess up your calendar.
